Victoria express magic and who else compatible?

Looking at this product as a sort of end-all-be-all for expressions.

I've been using the expressions that came with an 'evil witch character' I got in a recent bundle purchase. Love it.

I try and avoid ANYTHING with a person's name in the title- even though I own the base model or starter pack.

(I just can never seem to get those to work properly)

This product   http://www.daz3d.com/victoria4xprssnmagic

Doesn't name any other compatible figures. Usually it says works with Genesis 2 or 3 females etc...so I know how far the value spreads.

[edit: it says Victoria 4, Victoria 4 Elite]

This one, doesn't say anything about genesis or other figures so, it looks like (hope I get this right) like a MORPH for 1 single character. And will ONLY show up if I use that base model Voctoria as a starting point. Right?

So if I try and apply that to another genesis 2 or 3 character- it either won't work or I'll get unpredictable results.

Right??

Although this looks like sliders and dials, I kinda do prefer to look at faces with expressions on them already when going through the library, except as this product offers, I'd like to mix and match more easily. This looks like a wonderful purchase, but I don't wanbt to get it ajnd only have it work or apply to a single character = victoria.

So is this "safe" or is there a better 'pick a face' type expression generator that will work across more figures?

This is a product used to create V4 expressions from V4 morphs. It won't work with genesis figures.

I thought the V1, V3, V4 were under the umbrella of Genesis versions. Like maybe Victoria 7 was a genesis 3 character and Victoria 3 was a Genesis 2 character.

So the two are unrelated???!!!!!!

I'm confused, Why is there a difference or better yet, how is there a difference?

I also thought anything with a name like Michael 5 or M5 was something a content creator made by morphing the genesis base model- starter kit.

And...and....I thought Michael was meant to be your generic base white male with black hair and used to make all other....white men with black hair.

And those products/ PEOPLE were supposed to be the generic example of a certian ethnic trait among racial makeups.

 

I am so friggin confused right now.

I own Stephanie 6. It says on the description.

Meet Stephanie 6, a petite, sexy character for Genesis 2 Female(s). 

Does that mean I can turn the Genesis 2 model into Stephanie using dials and morphs AND/OR anything for genesis 2 characters is compatible with Stephanie 6?

I assume 6 means there were 5 previous versions of Stephanie, sold in the past, and this one has the most advanced features available.

Stephanie 6 Shows up as a blue actor in Smart Content. Victoria 4.2 is a Green actor with a scroll by her head, if that makes a difference.

-----------------------------------

Issue then. I just bought the Tinashe for V4. Says I need Victoria 4.2 Morphs (which I own).

No where do I see dials for Tinashe nor is there a new figure in my Smart Content.

I saw her install this morning. Any ideas?

Overall, I'd like to make all these add-on characters show up as separate entities somewhere in my Smart Library.

arrgghhhh Daz. Any thoughts?

{edit or additional}

I have several characters and many more products still in lost and found. That's where she is.

Is this a "Daz store" problem and I need to do nothing, but wait for the metadata to update for proper sorting? -

Because there is no right-click Categorize option. I remember doing this before to fix this.

Victoria 6 is the Genesis 2 Character. Victoria 5 is the Genesis Character. V4 and V3 are pre-Genesis. Genesis 3 models have significant base mesh differences from Genesis or Genesis 2, paritcularly with regard to expressions.
