Pose Companion for Genesis 9
The Pose Companion for Genesis 9 plugin allows you to apply Genesis 8 poses to Genesis 9 figures directly.

- 1. Select a pose preset file in either the Content Library or Smart Content.
- 2. Select a Genesis 9 figure in the scene.
- 3. Press the Ctrl + Alt + P hotkey, or select the “Convert and apply selected pose” menu item in the “Convert” menu in the Daz Studio menu bar.
It’s blazingly fast and super easy to use!

Use the Clothing You Already Own With Genesis 9 Characters
AutoFit helps fit clothes from previous generations to your Genesis 9, but it sticks all skirts, loincloths, and other items directly to the legs. This doesn’t look right in many poses.
SY Ultra Templates for Genesis 9 adds the option to add user-controlled bones and handles to your items that allow you to pose multiple kinds of dresses and skirts, loincloths, capes, and split-skirted items like coats and tunics. It’s easy — just pick the template from the dropdown in your AutoFit popup, and you’re good to go!
Apply Legacy UVs to Genesis 9 Characters
Legacy UVs for Genesis 9: Genesis 3, 8, and 8.1 Female enables you to use Genesis 3 Base, Genesis 8, and Genesis 8.1 Female textures on Genesis 9.
The geografts act as a second skin, and because they have their own independent UV maps, they can serve as surfaces to seamlessly display textures that would otherwise be unavailable for the Genesis 9 mesh.
The preparation stage loads the geografts and creates Legacy Surface Selection sets for Genesis 9. Optional toolbar icons are available for convenient access to the “Prepare” and “Apply UVs” scripts. UV support for the anatomical elements is also included.
