[sean-for-david-5 has david 5 for required product-means face on genesis will not look the same?] Other question is the maps on this one are listed seperately, does it have skin maps that will let you use the character to apply a new skin to genesis?

Uh oh, I meant if I do not own david 5-but on the next set I found on daz for genesis it says I do own David 5 (previously there was noithing indicating I did), but I would like to know just to expand my knowledge of daz if someone can let me if it would have work had I not owned David 5-thanks

Since the character is "for David 5" it means that David 5 morph is used at some percentage to create the character. So yes, without David 5 the shape would be different (how different would depend on how much of D5 morph was used).

As for the textures, it depends on what UV set they were made for: the various Genesis core figures include custom UVs, so if the textures were made for that UV set then you would have to own the core character to use them. 
I don't have Sean for David 5 so I have no idea if it uses the custom D5 UVs or one of the UVs the base Genesis includes.

I have Sean (also David 5) - Sean does use the David 5 UV set, so the skin won't fit the base genesis unless you have David 5 too.

Here's a screenshot showing:

Left = Sean fully loaded
Middle = Sean with David 5 shape removed - note that the Sean character only makes changes to the head, the rest of the body is pure Genesis Basic Male
Right = Sean without David 5 and without David 5 UV set - note the seams on the shoulders and legs and the weird eyebrows 

ETA: Oh and the seams on the legs are even worse from the back, also there are seams on the top of the head and the middle of his back

Thank you MelanieL!
