Hi:

I am looking in particular for Michael 3 figures in the store, but the search engine and content for Michael 3 doesn't seem really categorized that well. What I'm looking for is some skins and figures. Any chance Michael 3 and David 3 could get their own categories or that his content could be sorted? I've only found a few items purely by chance when I've clicked on a similar item. But when I search fro Michael 3 and search by figure (I have to fill in the category) some stuff is not showing up.

I also get hits for content not related to Michael 3.

I'm sure there are some great M3's and D3's I'm missing..... And I hope to find them. Any advice.

    Some of the older stuff was shelved. And check the individual bundles and/or items in bundles as not all are recorded as purchased as in a bundle of bundles.

    Thanks both of you. I'm going to pick up some of these.

    I was hoping to use M3 for some background shots, and I actually really like his and D3's body shape. I admit almost better than Gen 2 males, but the store search is very tough to use. I would never have found the Egyptian figures without help.

    I'm also keenly interested in this set:
    http://www.daz3d.com/concord-navy

    Except it requires Michael 2 and I presume the Michael 2 bodysuit which I don't think are available anywhere. Does anyone have any tips?

    If you click on the main store page, and then click on figure, then type michael into the text box part of this filter you will see michael 3 appear as an option, currently showing 454 items. Select this option and you will see a list of only those 454 items. A lot, particularly at the top will be hair etc that have a fit for michael 3, but if you keep scrolling down you will see Michael 3 morphs, and characters amongst the list.

    Yeah, the problem is that isn't all the Michael 3 content and there is content that turns up not M3 content. so it makes it more confusing.

    I'm not sure why M3 content isn't properly tagged, but that seems to be the issue.

    I like that armor. Looks really neat. I'll wishlist it until I get a coupon that I can use on it. =-)

    The M2 Bodysuit is in this bundle: http://www.daz3d.com/michael-2-bundle
    but that's a lot of stuff you can't use. Michael 3 includes a M3-to-M2 figure that can wear M2 clothing.

    Thanks! Another item I've never seen before.

    I admit, I thought I was doomed on getting figures to wear this outfit, until I figured out the M3- to M2 figure earlier today. I had also bought:
    http://www.daz3d.com/concord-pathfinders which seems to include a wearable bodysuit which I can fit to M3. I admit, I was worried that I'd wasted my money in the grab bag on items I just couldn't use but it turned out okay. I still don't have a bodysuit that works for Vicky as it looks like she required the V3 version one, which I'm not willing to buy right now. So she's wearing the one for V2, which kinda sorta works, but has pokethrough.


    These older products are challenging to me, since there is a lot of missing or required stuff. But I like the Concord set. wish they would be made for Gen 2. We need more cool clothing like these.

    Thanks FixmypcMike!

    The person that created the Pathfinders and the Concord series (Gorodin) hasn’t been around for something like a decade. At the time they were created, Michael 3 wasn't out yet. Gorodin at time said there were to be a whole series of uniforms and he listed them, unfortunately they were never created. The uniforms come in three configurations; M2, and V3 bodysuits and a second skin for V3. The second skin will work on M3 and D3, but because of the differences in chest and hips it’s a bit funky. The best bet would be to get a copy of Texture Converter 2 and convert the V3 skin to M3. I've been playing around with the Concord series for the past 10 years. I've been trying to convert it to be used on Genesis.

    Well, they do have their own cats, but the inclusion of items in them is still pretty haphazard. If you go to the filters and manually type "Michael 3" under "figure" section, it says that there are 526 M3 items and will pull them up. Typing David 3, or just David, however, only shows 13 products and doesn't list such obvious items as the Edwardian Evening and Casual wear suits for David, which are only for D3 and both DAZ Originals and PC+ items to boot. With that in mind, I wouldn't expect the M3 listings to be complete either.

    I find it hard enough finding it all in my runtime
    I have a lot of cool M2 stuff too and fortunately M2,
    IMO DAZ could put him back just so people can use stuff for him, I think it is a mistake not doing so on their behalf
    I am finding inspite of high polys old stuff works better in crowds for me, Genesis comes with a lot of baggage, so does M4& V4 often too
    my RAM goes right up with several Genesis but M3 & V3 and lower I have gotten 28 dressed haired figures in a scene with full lighting casting shadows.

    Hmm, thank chohole.
    You see, I'm looking for something like this, but for M4, a character full of chains hanging but using the chains as weapons of attack and destruction of fortifications.

    I have many many more M3 outfits not easily found and not all from DAZ
    I do not enjoy catagorizing and sorting stuff much but really what needs to be done.

    Wow Greycat. That looks great! I agree. Nice set. Would love uniforms like that for genesis 1 and 2 . =-)

    Which suit did you apply to M3 to use that?

    Are you asking what bodysuit I used? I didn't use a bodysuit it just a texture (second skin). The second skin texture for V3 should be included with Concord Pathfinder and Navy. A V3 texture will work on M3, but because of the difference in chest and hips the fit's not prefect. You could use Texture Converter (http://www.daz3d.com/catalogsearch/result/?q=texture+convertor) to convert the V3 texture to M3. Texture Converter is another product that has been abandon by its creator so kind of limited in what it generation it can convert. That said it will convert V3 textures to M3, M4, and V4. Since Genesis can use Generation 4 textures I would use Layer Image Editor to add in the Concord uniform to V4 and M4 textures I have. I still need to create masks so I can cut out the uniform so I can create PNG files to layer over the texture I choose. You might also look at Concord Elite and Concord Marines.

    or use a geometry shell.
    Texture converter is great and a shame it has been abandoned.
    I use it to put M4 textures on M3 etc so I can use my older clothes often gotten cheap.
    Grabbed some cool Dark Elf stuff by Luthbel in the sale I can guzzi M3 up to wear.

    Thanks Wendycatz and Greycat. I will try some of your suggestions later. I do really think these characters make great additions to crowd scenes and I like them. Too bad the support isn't still there. Perhaps someone could do a 'crowd pack' or something. =-)
