David

Was there just a David and then a David 5? I have the David 3 for Genesis, but is that just the David updated to work with genesis? Or was there really a separate David 3 character? I would think I would have it, if there was but I'm not finding it. And I don't see it in the store, although I do have a few David 3 clothing articles.

When you use David 3 for genesis, the David clothing will not work on him?

When I tried, it said that I had selected an unsupported item and asked it I wanted to auto fit. I said OK and the clothing was generated, I don't know if it would have fit or not, it end up below the arms and it wouldn't let me move it. I suppose that is because David is shorter than genesis.

Thanks.

    There is no David 4 nor David 6, just 3 and 5. If you have David 3 for genesis then yes you can use all David 3's clothing on Genesis 1. To use David 3's clothing on Genesis 2 you either have to convert to Genesis 1 first or transfer the David 3 clone to Genesis 2.

    Remember when using autofit you have to set the supported figure to David 3. David 3 should appear in your list if you have the "David 3 for Genesis" product.

Only mil 4 figures came with Genesis and had alternate uv's.

    Thanks for the help.

    I got it to work. When I first added the clothing to the scene, it seemed like it ran the autofit script, but the clothes didn't fit. Just now, I selected the clothing and found the fit to under parameters. Then it opened a window and asked me who the clothes were originally designed for. I picked David 3 and the clothes were a good fit.

    Was there one of these auto fits for Michael 3 too? I must not have it as he was not in the list. I should get it, if there is one because I have tons of clothes for him.

    But I don't think the David textures will work on genesis. When I try to apply them nothing happens. But I think that's what you mean by no alternate UV's.

    Not sure what addict meant by the comment....it doesn't convert the textures though. The texture on the clothing looks OK on David 3 genesis. Or are you saying if I apply some other texture to the clothing that it won't apply right?

    Havos...do you mean by converting to Genesis 1 first...to save the clothing back to the library are it was fit to Genesis 1 and then when I add that newly saved clothing to a scene with a Genesis 2 male that it would then auto fit to genesis 2 then? Or did you mean something else?

    And I can use Generation X or X2 to transfer the David for Genesis morph to the genesis 2 figure?

    Thanks again.

    ok, good progress so far.

    Pendraia was refering to the skin textures of David 3, not the clothing textures. The clothing textures will work just fine even after auto-fitting to Genesis 1. Unfortunately there is no current way to use David 3's, or any other generation 3 character's skins on Genesis 1 or 2. There is a PA working on this, but progress on this was halted by other matters, and we do not know if that project will ever be completed.

    To use M3's clothing you can use this product:

    http://www.daz3d.com/v3-and-m3-shapes-for-genesis

    I think (not 100% certain), if you own M3 and the Generation X M3 plug-in you can transfer the M3 shape without needing to buy the above product.

    Regarding getting David 3, or any other Gen 3 shape over to G2M/G2F you can either use Generation X (the easiest way), or use the transfer utility method documented in various tutorials. It is the latter method I have used to get shapes over to Genesis 3.

    Once the shape is transferred, you need to use it to create a clone. There is a tutorial around to do this aswell, it is not trivial, but not too hard either.
