Can you apply Genesis skin textures to Genesis 2 Female?

Hello all,
I was just wondering if its possible to apply a Genesis skin texture to the G2F figure? I have a skin texture for Genesis that I really like, but would like to transfer her over to G2F, if possible. Would it be difficult to do this or does anyone happen to know how it can be done? -if it can be done, that is-

Thanks again!

Merc

    It depends on what UV set the skin was designed for and if you have that UV set for Genesis 2 Female.

    If you have the correct UV set and it is a DUF format preset, then you can simply apply it. If it is not DUF you may have to jump through a couple of hoops. (Not difficult, and only applies to older texture sets (created before DS 4.6) just requires loading the texture set onto Genesis and resaving it.)

    The vast majority of skins designed for Genesis human females (creatures often have their own UV) used one of three UV's:

    Base Female, V5, and V4. The first two are supported by G2F without any further purchases, for V4 UV you will need: http://www.daz3d.com/victoria-4-for-genesis-2-female.

    There are handful of skins (probably less than 10) that uses UV's for S5 or A5. For these you will need: http://www.daz3d.com/generation-5-uv-bundle-for-genesis-2-female-s

    Hello Spooky and mjc1016,
    Thank you for the reply, I really appreciate it! I am not sure if I have the correct UV files for this skin texture that makes it compatible with G2F. I looked in my skintone folder and didn't see a DUF file in there. (Just DSF files) Is there a tutortial on how I might go about getting started with the GEN/G2F conversion?

    Thanks!

    Load Genesis
    Apply your texture
    Open the surface tab, with Genesis still selected.
    There will be an entry for UV set (Most Genesis female texture sets are Victoria 4).
    Note the UV set.
    Save as Material preset (which will be saved as a DUF) to another folder or with a different name.
    Load Genesis 2 Female.
    On the surfaces pane see if you have the correct UV set. If you don't but you wish to use the texture set you will have to purchase the correct UV set.
    Apply the new DUF preset you just saved.
