G3M Skin Textures on G8M

N-RArts

Hi,

So, I'm not the biggest fan of Genesis 8, but now that G8M has been released, I am starting to use the Gen8 models.

I'm not sure of the difference between skin textures and UV's, so you'll have to forgive me if I explain this badly.

I've been trying to use skin textures from Genesis 3 male on Genesis 8 Male. Initially, I used Kayleyss' Gwenbleiz skin texture on G8M. It looked wonderful.and fitted perfectly. 

But every other skin texture that I've tried has either been too dark (at least much darker than it was on G3M). Or there are gaps between the seams of textures (which is the problem that I'm having with all Daz model skin textures).

I've attached an image of Lucien 7's, Leo 7's and Kenji 7's skin on G8M. I haven't posted all of Kenji's skin texture problems, but the maps aren'y meeting around his bottom (I didn't know if posting bottoms was against the forums terms of service). The only Daz G3M skin I haven't had problems with is Michael 7 (although that's a little more dark). 

Any help would grately received and immensely appreciated.

The Daz Base characters use their own UVs so no they don't work, of all the PA/DO characters that I have tried (about 30) I have found no problems as they all use the Base Male UV

Hopefully we'll see a UV release from Redz.

Using Map Transfer in Daz, you can make any non base G3 skins work with G8 so you can use them now

L'Adair did a tutorial which explains it well

Thanks for explaining, as that explains why there's a "Genesis 3 Character UV's to Gen 8" product in the shop (by RedzStudios - which I've only seen today).
