Basic Overview

Face Transfer 2 (sku::92487)...

  • ... utilizes a newer version of a 3rd party library (itSeez3D)
    • ... performs better image projection than the previous version
    • ... produces higher resolution textures than the previous version
  • ... is Genesis 9 centric
    • ... does not add or improve support for prior generation figures
    • ... does not improve the image projection quality on prior generation figures
    • ... does not increase the texture resolution on prior generation figures
  • ... for Windows 64-bit
    • ... Genesis 9 is the preferred figure if the plugin is present/enabled (when Figure: Base: is "Auto")
    • ... Genesis 8 is the preferred figure if the plugin is not present/enabled (when Figure: Base: is "Auto")
  • ... for macOS 64-bit (macOS Ventura 13.2 or newer)
    • ... is compatible with Apple silicon (e.g., M1, M2, M3) via Rosetta 2
    • ... only supports Genesis 9, so the plugin must be present and enabled
  • ... extends the Face Transfer pane from the previous version (sku::63529)
    • ... if the previous version is not present/enabled, it does not matter if this plugin is - the previous version provides 'core' functionality
  • ... will use the selected figure if it is a supported figure on the platform
  • ... will watermark previews of projected images unless registered
  • ... will remove the watermark during the trial for the first 3 saves
    • ... the previous version and this version have separate 3 save trials - the previous one for Genesis 8/8.1, this one for Genesis 9
  • ... will not watermark previews or saves if registered
