You should. You have so much more options that way, and I've been getting pretty good results, which I think is down to autofitting female to female rather than shapeless (genesis 1) to female. I've been getting creative with the options though, such as transferring Delirium using a skirt option, corset/cuffs/etc are transferred via shirt, leg wraps are transferred using the pants option. Short skirts are still transferred through V4 Skirt > Skirt > Knee Length.
Hi Vaskania, I was checking out the autofit templates and comparing the Genesis to Gen2. There is a bit of difference in the quality of the actual templates as they are much higher poly. Transfering back Gen2 to Genesis for example gives no skirt distortion on the items I've played with and I think part of this is down to there being a skirt clone. Also the weightmapping would probably be slightly better as you suggested because it is female to female. I think many of the problems with the original autofit might stem from the weightmapping that was created not being right for the outfit. More projection templates might well fix that and also using slightly different clones like for example the skirt clone.
Here is the G2 Male version of Tomsy. Sorry for the crappy lighting, hopefully I will learn some day. Very nice character, as expected from you. Bought it even though it lacks that "certain something". Is this the first male character for Sabby?
I wanted more toon characters for both Genesis and Genesis 2, but my new policy is to only purchase new characters when there's both a male and female version (or if I'm 100% confident that a matching counterpart is on the way).
Grabbed both the girl and the boy packages and have had a chance to play with them.
In their default modes, my daughter says, "They'd be great if you're doing a comic about vampires or zombies", referring to the "fiendish" look of the characters.
Luckily, they're Genesis 2 characters, which means there's all sorts of DNA floating around to make them look less fiendish... and they work really well.
Very happy camper here.
My first quickie session with 'em, mixing a little of other characters to take their edge off. First pict a straight render, the second was run through default Topaz Clean filter on "Cartoon detailed". The third one is a little Olympia and a little Lee, also "Cleaned".

Thanks Jaki, I'll wait just to be sure but that was what I thought also. Just wanted to be certain before buying...
The FW character add on does use the G2M morphs, but It think it may just be for the extra body shape that works in Poser.
Am I the only one who thinks the male looks like a Tanner III or IV female?
So glad the male Fiends forever is out now.
Yay :) Whipping victims for my fiend girls ... I mean boyfriends of course *grins* Hopefully I will be able to play with the products this weekend :)
Yay! Boyfiends!!! I didn't even know I wanted the FiendsForever, but totally fell for them. I'm thinking of picking up the whole megabundle.
