Genesis 2 Female UV Maps issue.

I'm having a problem when applying some textures to Geneis 2 Female. Some black areas in the edges of the texture. I already try to modify the UV's, but didn't work. Any idea what is causing that ?

    With the figure selected what UVmapping are the textures set to in the Surfaces Pane? Also what figure are the skin maps for?

    The figure is Stephanie 6, but I tried with all the figures and always the same.

    Yes I know it is Genesis 2 but what figure were the skin texture maps you applied made for. That is probably the key issue here, or as I asked what figure is the UVmapping set to in the Surfaces Pane when you select the figure, if it is set to Genesis 2 Female then I would guess the skin maps were made for a different figure, hence why I am asking these questions to try to help you better and quicker. :)

    If it is not one of the above then I am sorry but I have no idea what's wrong, they are my first two things I can think of that cause this issue.

    At first glance it looks like you're using a Victoria 4 texture on her. If you don't have the V4 shape for Genesis 2 then by extension you won't have her UV map. If you do, then be sure to change the UV settings in the surfaces tab to the correct figure.

    Thanks for you both, but the figure used is Taylor for Stephanie 6 and the texture is loaded automatically with the character,. Other characters also had problems with textures. I have Victoria 4 for Genesis 2 installed. I also reinstall the Body and Head morphs for Genesis 2 Female and the last Genesis 2 Starter Essentials. Just some textures have issues. And I already change the UV settings, I tried all of them. I have no clue about what's going one.

    I just loaded Taylor on Daz Studio version 4.6.2.118 and had no issues. The UV set is Victoria 5 when loaded.

    Thanks, I don't have V5 on my UV setting, do you know what I have to install to have it?

    I guess I got that with V5. The Taylor for S6 product page says S6 is the only requirement. S6 uses the S6 mapping, so I don't know why Taylor has V5. You may want to send support an message.

    G2F "should" come with 2 UV sets, Basic Female & Victoria 5, so if neither of those show in the surfaces tab then you either have a screwed Content directory, or someone at DAZ ****ed up the packaging of the latest G2F Starter Essentials.

    PS this is just one of the many reasons I detest the G1 & G2 series of figures, this multiple UV sets idea was a seriously STUPID idea, but I've come to expect that around here.

    As pointed out the G2F comes default with the Basic Female UV and the V5 UV so if they do not list your content is not installed properly or not listed in the DAZ Studio paths properly to be read correctly.

    I've tried everything, reinstalled Genesis 2 Essentials Starter and Daz Studio. It worked, but when I leave the program and start it again the problem returns. I checked the file in the data directory and V5 is in the UV - Base folder, but does not appear in the surface parameters in the program. The installation is in the default location. I really do not know what to do, I'll just avoid the textures that have V5 as UV base.

    I wonder if CMS is causing problems...is CMS running?

    Yep, it is. But I guess could figure out the problem. I reinstall Victoria 6 and the V5 UV worked, at least for now. Probably some corrupted file on V6 installation pack. Thanks everyone.
