I know I'm missing a step or twelve- got the stuff from sharecg, got all the aps, have used em all previously, but this set has me producing grey boxes and confused looks. if the statue of David kin be "correct" I'd like my renders of Venus to have the same ability. help?
step by step fir genesis and g2f please.

    If you're getting boxes it sounds like the geometry isn't being found. Are there errors in the log about missing data storables?

    What are the required products, if any, and do those work? Which ShareCG item or items is it you are using?

    Normally I ask about stuff I've kinda figured out in case others need the same insight, bu this time, I'm honestly stumped

    I just tried the G2F version and it worked, using the current zip as the key file. Make sure you are merging the Data folder from the decoded zip with the Data folder in your content directory, not placing it in a subfolder. Also make sure that you have the official genitals installed before doing so (and place the new files in the same content directory - you should be asked if you want to overwrite the official .dsf file with the one from the zip when copying across).

    I'll give it a try- and keep backs handy. Thank mate.

    RT app:
    decode
    Source:?
    Key:?
    Output:?
    Yeah, I'm a little thicker than used to be- I blame the cancer, pain killers and the cat.

    Decode.

    The source is the rte file from the zip.

    The key is the Zip for the DAZ genital set - go to the folder with your DIM downloads, if you use DIM, or the direct downloads, set the file type to Any instead of OBJ and you should see the file in the selection window.

    The output doesn't matter in name, but it's a zip and you need to add the extension to the name you enter.

    Then you can unpack it like any zip.

    And even if I save the scene with the correct uv mapping, closing DAZ Studio and reloading the same scene the genitals go back to the od one surfce mapping.

    Hmm, do you have multiple content directories? If you do, and if another one has the old mesh, and if the one with the old mesh is earlier in the directory list than the one with the new mesh, then the old version is what DS will load.
