How do I save all (or part of) the textures of a G8F character and load to another G8F character?

This question has two parts:

Part I: How do I save all the textures of a G8F character say Alice and load to another G8F character say Brinley?

Part II: How do I save part of textures, say only the skin parts like: face, torso and limbs of a G8F character Alice and load them to another G8F character Brinley? At the same time I want to keep other textures of Brinley like make-ups, nails etc. unchanged

I say in the smart content there is something called "All Maps" but I have no idea how it is created and it doesn't seem answer my question II

File>Save As>Materials preset (though most characters will coem with those already created). You can also select which surfaces to include in the preset, but generally you will get a very obvious join if you try mixing - some makeups use either Layered Images or, for Iray, Diffuse overlay that can be used with the base skin from another character - again, characters will usually have those presets included for you. Nails and eyes are separate, you can just save those to a materials preset (if there isn't one already) and freely mix-and-match.

Another neat trick is if you want a certain character's texture/shaders only, instead of both textures and shaders, you need to hit Ctrl while loading the materials that way you can choose whether to keep either the textures or the shaders!
