Any idea what happened to MadSkills? I tried their character creator 5 days ago and I'm still waiting on a response. Usually it only takes bout an hour.

Might be better to ask on the site where their product is sold since they are not a PA here at DAZ. Also google shows they have own site
I've already done that. I've tried several times in addition to this issue to try and reach out to them. Their site used to have a forums section which is now shut down. They used to have a discord, which is also now shut down. I've tried their "contact us" and have yet to hear anything back. So I tried posting here thinking someone might have heard something since it was here that I heard about the site in the first place. So believe me I have tried all the avenues to try and contact them.

I just tested one and it came through. Maybe try again, if you didn't get yours?
It finally came thru this morning. No explanation as to what the delay was. Just took a week is all on a 0.5 MB file. Maybe the system was under maintenance?
Well it looks like they are officially gone. I just went to their website and got the hosting company's default page. Shame too cause they had a good product that would transfer Genesis 8 textures to Genesis 9 without having to use grafts to make it happen. Unfortunately all services offered were online.
So, to clarify, for a time there was a website and they offered a service of converting textures between g8 and g9... but they were slow and they no longer exist?
They offered texture conversion, an AI powered face transfer. It only worked for Genesis 8 female though they were working on being able to do Genesis 8 male and eventually Genesis 9. It usually worked pretty well. The person was running it off of their home computer so every now and then there were glitches. I believe one time the power went out while they were away once. I only had the one time where any of the services took over an hour. I posted because usually when they had issues they would post on their website what the issue was. That particular time they did not so I posted here to see if anyone else had heard anything. And now since Face Transfer 2 has come out, their site is unreachable. Today I checked on a whim to see if they might be back and I got some hosting company's default page. So it looks like they are gone. It's a real shame cause it was pretty good.
This would quite likely have been a breach of the EULA for the textures.
