Genesis (1) female shortage of shoes/heels

artin.z

Is there a reason why the original Genesis (1) does not have a lot of available heeled shoes in comparison to G2F or even G3F.  It feels as though most PA's just skipped making them for Genesis and went straight from V4 to G2F/G3F.

I still have a lot of genesis characters that I love rendering and they look great with iRay but I'm having a very tough time finding a decent selection of clothing and specifically shoes.  Most of the selection is either from DX30 or included as part of a whole outfit that you have to spend time hunting to find.

Is this due to the fact that users figured out how to easily rig V4 shoes onto Genesis figures? Or is it simply because the Genesis figure was not that popular and shortly after Genesis 2 came out?

I have tried to use this guide in detail: http://tgunner.deviantart.com/art/Properly-Fit-V4-High-Heel-Boots-To-Gn-G2F-in-DS-415844275 without much success, as well as SickleYield's guide (can't find link), so if there are clear step for how to rig any V4 heel shoe (either loaded separately or together) that I haven't already looked at, please let me know.

Thanks!

Search for 'V5 shoes'. This should bring up a good list. I have *V5 Shoe Pack http://www.daz3d.com/v5-shoe-pack *Hot Boots textures, even though these are V4, they work for both G1/G2 if you have lace up boots. http://www.daz3d.com/hot-boots

Probably something for free too, although Wilmap's stuff is great and worth donating.

Now that I am home, (it's hard to copy links on a smart phone) I went through my shoe wardrobe for G1 Females:

The Over the Knee Lace Up Boots are an upgrade from V4, and are also available for G2 separately.  So the textures in Hot Boots work for all three versions.

'Cause you gotta have cowboy boots. 

Also, do a search for 'Shoes', then refine the search by Figure - check off Genesis and Victoria 5. 

These are mostly flat sole shoes - because I can't stand platform shoes - 'ankle brakers' are the most horribly uncomfortable shoes in the world!  Not to mention I seriously sprained my ankle wearing a pair - Never again!

I personally have had no luck in trying to fit one figure's shoes onto another - especially heels.  I can get away with flat shoes/boots, but the heels always warp, or the foot sticks through the shoe, even using SY's product (maybe I'm doing it wrong).  So i will retexture my shoe collection and use various shoes from the clothing packages I have acquired for G1. 

I too still have great-looking G1 characters.  I have converted a couple to G2, but am not planning on doing them all.  In fact, my entry into the March posing contest, 'Freerun,' is using a Genesis character.  There's lots of great things that can still be done with Genesis, not to mention being able to use the female utilities on male characters without having to pay for them a second time, or be disappointed that there are no alternatives for for the men at all.
