    The product page says:

    This product contains no user facing files.


    That means that there are no files to find in the Content Library. You can find sliders in the Parameters pane when Genesis is selected to change the body shape to Generation 3, and clones are added to Autofit.

    When you try to load any Generation 3 clothing onto Genesis, Autofit will pop up allowing you to select the Gen 3 clone.

    The REadme says:

    Morphs are automatically included when a new Genesis figure is loaded into the scene.

    The morphs provided by this product can be found in the Shaping, Posing and Parameters panes, when the root of the Genesis figure is selected.

    So, basically, you dial in the V3 shape on your Genesis, and then dress him or her up in the M3/V3 clothes.

    But that doesn't mean you can use the morphs and skins for Generation 3 as easily. You'll probably have to use GenX for transferring them, though I'm not an expert about that. Perhaps you ask in the Newbie or Commons forum part about that, as it gets frequented more by users who have experience with this?

    Threads merged. Starting multiple threads in different forums means you may get the same person answering you in both.

    1 Gen3 iconic shape morph pack blundle include only morph files for genesis1 (maybe you bought product for genesis not genesis2?)
    and they are installed in data directory of genesis morphs.

    usually we can not find them in content library as user facing files, without vendor offer character or shape preset.
    but we can set value of morphs as controller in parameter or shaping tabs then it change genesis shape to each figure shape.

    I think you can check read me files, it usually show you where you need to check to tweak these controller.;-)

    genesis Aiko3 full shape morph is shown in Actor>female>stilized
    genesis Aiko3 head shape morph is shown in Actor>head>female>stilized. in parameter and shape tab.

    2 about gen3 clothing, you mqy use them by Auto-fit process with genesis.

    just select genesis, and load these clothings cr2 made for gen3 (rigged clothings) .
    the items will load and may "fit to" genesis.
    sometimes you need to check items "fit to" genesis, or it just loaded ^^;

    "auto fit" only work about items which can "fit to". (have bone to fit to)
    and it "fit to" target. then auto-fit window will open.

    I can not confirm it perfect fit for genessis, then keep good mesh shape.
    but auto-fit just work as desigend.

    3 about gen3morphs for each gen3 actors,,,

    a you can transfer these morphs by generation X and add on. (plug in offered by vendor).
    http://www.daz3d.com/genesis-generation-x2
    http://www.daz3d.com/genx-addon-gen3-bundle

    b you can transfer these morphs by CCT transfer utility (it is included with daz studio) to genesis.
    (you have already gen3iconic clone, and morphs too, so that you can try it,, but not easy. )

    if you serch topic "generation X" or "transfer morph" etc,,
    you may get many knowledges (actually too many^^;) about both case in this forum.
    or other user may show you best link.

    then, without you are challenger and like twaeking tools and
    love many test for transfer character shape,
    I may suggest to get generation X when you can , and read pdf carefully.

    about both case, I can not confirm it should work perfect as you expect.
    but it work as desgined with your setting.

    4 skins made for gen3,
    I do not think you can use them with genesis (and morphed as gen3shape).

    they should be made for gen3 individual UV.
    but I do not think, genesis have gen3 UV sets. and I did not hear, if someone have released it.
    someone may know more.

    and I reccomend to use or get the items desigend and made for the figure (that means you may better to get
    and choose items for genesis. )

    Of course, use and test items which you had already is OK.

    but not recommend to buy items desigend not for genesis without testing.

    even though auto-fit, or you can transfer morphs etc,,, sooner or later,
    you may feel, there is many cases, you need to modify them by your sefl .

    (actually, it may happen even though you only buy genesis or genessi2 items,,
    and use the morphs desigend for these figures.)
