Coral 8.1 question

Can the tail and all the mermaid morphs be used with other characters and skin textures? I can only use this if it works on my Lara character and my fav skin, Albany heart.

    I am downloading now. If no one else posts first I will load G8F and test the tail and morphs for you.

    Thank you so much for helping me with this! heart I would love to know if the mermaid morphs can be used on other characters and if it's possible to use an G8 skin texture, another than the one that comes with the character smiley.

    Well, I will start with saying I hit a wall on G8F. There is a document in the product to change the torso skin back to the original shader after the geoshell (?) is loaded, but it is set-up for G8.1F only. After crashing my system, I tried a couple times the deleted G8F and loaded G8.1F and studied the instructions again. This worked on G8.1F. Then I dressed her top, hair and tried to pose her and the tail hung straight down! None of the poses worked for it. But the texture pack did. So classic A pose to start with, will go back to G8F and see what I can do since I got it to work for G8.1F.

    memcneil70, that's the extra product adding a different tail onto any character. The question is regarding Coral 8.1's tail and morphs, which is a much better tail (imo).

    Thank you vagans! I hadn't even looked at her yet. Doing so now.

    Coral 8.1 alone-- no. However, with add-on characters (not all are out yet), some of them *do* have tail mats that let you use the tail with any character. You just have to copy the torso materials over.

    Well I tested on Julia of Julia and Juliana for G8F and the Coral 8.1 Tail loaded after Auto-Fit and G8.1 is not an option. I think, though I expect I am wrong that may be why the poses refused to work. There is a distinct skin color shift on the torso, but I tried what the other tail had me do, but it left a hard line at the edge of the tail to the belly, and not that lovely merge that is seen. This needs better folks than me to figure how to use on characters other than G8.1F. I am a dunce.

    This is what my attempt on the other tail looked like.

    Thank you so much for helping me with this heart. It's Coral's mermaid features I'm interested in, so it seams that there will be addon characters that makes it possible to load the mermaid tail and features to any character and use any skin with the tail materials? And  I  just copy the torso/body materials over to the character? I mostly use G8.1 but Coral is for G8.1, right? Thanks in advance for replies ❤️.
