Can V4 Dynamic and/or Unimesh be used on Genesis or Genesis 2?

I'm seeing some exceptional discounts on old clothing bundles and other items; but not sure I will ever use some of this stuff on V4/M4 or their sisters/brothers.

Before I spend any money, can anybody tell me if dynamic clothing (such as Dynamic Cape for V4) can be made to work for Genesis or Genesis 2 figures?

And how about "Unimesh/Unimiesh Fits"?

Thanks...

    The not-quite answer is yes... sort-of.

    Dynamic clothing in Daz has a few minor issues. The first and most glaring being that it cannot be reshaped or rescaled easily. When you alter the shape it likes to revert back to its original shape and size during the drape, which rather undermines the whole purpose of reshaping it to begin with.

    Some dynamic outfits will fit rather happily on Genesis figures, depending on the shape used, while others will need some fiddling around with to get into a workable state. Anything that hangs on the hips tends to have the biggest problem, such as pants.

    If you have the advanced clothing control, you have a bit more leeway, but if you're using the basic version you have less control than a scud missile.

    Lastly, if the item is intended for Poser dynamic cloth, then it CANNOT be used in Daz Studio at all. On the plus side, it can be used flawlessly in Poser regardless of which figure, as long as you can get the basic shape around the character. Poser's cloth room has more tweaks and dials than the Tardis which you can use to fix any flaws.

    Here's a livestream I did a while back about using V4 DAZ dynamic wardobe on Genesis... http://youtu.be/5NNqUYOW6Z8

    If that helps, great... if not, well, no harm done

    :lol:

    OK, I can't tell whether you need this info or not:

    Unimesh fits are NOT for V4. They are for all tho OTHER versions (Usually A4,G4,S4, Elite, Rarely SF4). If you are somehow using Gen2 + V4 + A4 or some other combination, you MIGHT be better off using the base V4 garment and using the Gen2 fitting capabilities.

    You can just use the non-unimesh version if you're autofitting to Genesis/G2 -- the unimesh version just has extra morphs which aren't used if you aren't using V4/M4/
