Madskills disappeared???

Any idea what happened to MadSkills? I tried their character creator 5 days ago and I'm still waiting on a response. Usually it only takes bout an hour.

    Might be better to ask on the site where their product is sold since they are not a PA here at DAZ. Also google shows they have own site

  • I've already done that. I've tried several times in addition to this issue to try and reach out to them. Their site used to have a forums section which is now shut down. They used to have a discord, which is also now shut down. I've tried their "contact us" and have yet to hear anything back. So I tried posting here thinking someone might have heard something since it was here that I heard about the site in the first place. So believe me I have tried all the avenues to try and contact them.

  • I just tested one and it came through. Maybe try again, if you didn't get yours?

  • It finally came thru this morning. No explanation as to what the delay was. Just took a week is all on a 0.5 MB file. Maybe the system was under maintenance?

  • Well it looks like they are officially gone. I just went to their website and got the hosting company's default page. Shame too cause they had a good product that would transfer Genesis 8 textures to Genesis 9 without having to use grafts to make it happen. Unfortunately all services offered were online.

    So, to clarify, for a time there was a website and they offered a service of converting textures between g8 and g9... but they were slow and they no longer exist?

  • They offered texture conversion, an AI powered face transfer. It only worked for Genesis 8 female though they were working on being able to do Genesis 8 male and eventually Genesis 9. It usually worked pretty well. The person was running it off of their home computer so every now and then there were glitches. I believe one time the power went out while they were away once. I only had the one time where any of the services took over an hour. I posted because usually when they had issues they would post on their website what the issue was. That particular time they did not so I posted here to see if anyone else had heard anything. And now since Face Transfer 2 has come out, their site is unreachable. Today I checked on a whim to see if they might be back and I got some hosting company's default page. So it looks like they are gone. It's a real shame cause it was pretty good.

    This would quite likely have been a breach of the EULA for the textures.
