Using Victoria 4 content with Genesis

U_Iuiko

Hi.  Not really a new user, but away from it for a couple of years, and things have changed.  I bought the Victoria 4 for Genesis 2 package because it seemed to say that this would allow us to use all our Victoria 4 content with Genesis figures.  However, after applying this to a Genesis 2 female figure, the figure turns gray and we're not able to add things like skin mats.  Can some explain how to use Victoria 4 content with Genesis figures?

If you are trying to use textures for V4 in Poser format, or in DAZ Script format (.dsa, .ds etc.) then apply the amterials to Genesis, save a materials preset (File>Save as>Materials Preset) and apply that to Genesis 2 Female. There is a batch convert utility in the store that will do this for you if you have a lot of content you want to convert, or you can do it manually as needed.

From the product description: "note: Due to a limitation in how DAZ Studio handles presets, only material presets which are in DUF format can be directly applied. Any existing material presets must be re-saved in DUF format from the original Victoria 4." 

So basically like Richard said, you would need to add the texture to the first version of Genesis and then save as a preset. Hope you are able to get it working!
