I know thins one's been beaten to death, but I am stumped as to why I am getting this result. I am a beginner, and know nothing of scripts and the background workings of DAZ, but figuring the program out wasn't the hard part. Even the notorious ear settings were fine.

However, the main reason I got this was so I could use the great V4 elite textures, but whenever I use the script, the skins load, but it looks like they don't fit, with gaps at the butt, thighs, shoulders and head. Please someone tell me I'm missing something simple here!

Thanks.

    That looks to be an issue requiring manual setting of the UV map the figure uses. Select the figure in the scene tab, go to Surfaces, and click on the figure name ( to select all surfaces) and then look for the UV map drop down (it may look blank if multiple UV maps are in use, but don't worry about that) and select the one for V4 (assuming you have it available).

    Thank you for your reply. I looked at the UV maps; there was only one set- Base Female. There is no V4 option (I would think why would there be- doesn't the script convert it to the genesis F2 map? I might be wrong in understanding). So if I'm wrong, why wouldn't the V4 set be there?

    I tried it on V6 figure AND Basic G2F; same results. I have purchased, clean installations of V4.2, G2F, V6, Elite Texture Bundle (Amy, Lana, and Maya), and the V4 Skins Auto Converter. Everything else always works fine for me. I was able to pick up the functionality of DAZ quickly from knowing CAD. I learned how all the files work with each other. I DON'T yet understand how all the texture maps work yet- that's why I bought this. I don't get why a product that's supposed to make something easier does the opposite.

    Any other thoughts?

    PS sorry I realized I resized my screenshot too small. It's just showing the pull down for the UV maps on the surfaces tab- it's set to base female with Olympia, V5, and V6 as other choices.

    It looks to me that what you are missing is Victoria 4 for Genesis 2 Female by MallenLane. This actually provides the UV set you need. The Auto Converter just makes the process easier and quicker.

    Yikes I completely missed that! That's actually the one I thought I was getting; I rushed through it with the sale yesterday.

    Thanks so much; I'll get that and should be OK.
