    For clarity,  you only really need to buy ONE Genesis 8 female pro bundle (ie Victoria 8) and ONE Genesis 8 male pro bundle (ie Michael 8) to get the genitals. Those same genitals are used for every other Daz base figure in the Genesis 8 line and all the texture sets that have genital maps will fit them. Hope that made sense.

    NB    Every other Daz adult base figure

    Hehe...correct. Every ADULT figure ;) As chohole has pointed out, the tween and teen figures don't have the anatomical elements in their bundles for obvious reasons.

    So a content creator I like has a store in Daz and a store at another site. I recently purchased a couple figures from the other site and noticed they had the female genetalia. Will the characters that creator makes for Daz specically not have the genetalia? I don't really care if it does or does not, you have just made me curious now.

    You mean as in on the textures or a simple morph? That is allowed at all stores and up to the artist if they want to include it.

    could be an intersting possibility

     

    You still need the genitals from the pro bundle for those to work.

    F**k! Sorry, didn't realize that! Guess I'll have to go to other stores, then: the pro bundles are too expensive for THAT feature only

    Other stores have better junk anyways.

    And 3feetwolves lady bits for g8 work perfectly on g8 and g3 with one click, no need to mess around with materials

    And they work and look fantastic IMO

    Much better than the DAZ ones, actually, since it autoloads it's own textures from the skin that's currently loaded on the figure's torso.  The two caveats are that you do get some funny effects in cases where the creator of a texture has opted to paint in some shadow details (though, to be fair, you often get similar problems with the DAZ gens or even just the base characters with many of those sets) and in the case of DAZ original figures with one-off UV sets, you have to buy an add-on if you want to use that character's skin texture with the 3FD product. As a side note, Meipe also just added a G3F version of his popular G8F gen set. And to pull this back to the original subject, the "male" products available at that other store are a bit more variable in... um... quality and accuracy... than the female ones, but they all have a lot more... er... morphs and pose options... than the DAZ version, with several having been specifically designed for use on female figures.

    One last thing to be aware of - not all PAs include texture sets for gens, and while it's normally a pretty simple thing to transfer the torso texture of a female figure to a second party gen set, replacing a male texture, even with the DAZ gens, usually means stealing one from another character and playing with the colors in the difuse channel to get a reasonable color match.  That's something that  becomes a lot more complex if you're using an additional add-on skin shader like NGS2.

    More on this: Meipe's male gen avoids texture seams like her female one by borrowing the hip texture and blending it at the base. But the main package has its own textures for obvious reasons, so specialty characters that are really pale/dark/alien need diffuse texture tweaking. Same thing goes for the main bits of the female gen.

    Maps, mesh, morphs, textures. I am new and don't even know what you guys are talking about. I was curious if Daz did not allow genetalia from content creators for a character sold on Daz.

    So...

    Meshs define the shape of somthing. Imagine them as a grid on the outlines of a body or object 

    Morphs do change the these meshes. For example there are morphs that make a whole figure bigger, or morphs that "grow" finger or toe nails 

    Textures are like wallpapers on these meshes. For example a skin texture on a body ... these contain the (2d) visual informations like color etc .. 

    Maps are like additional infomations for textures. On the contrary to textures these can contain (3d) hights infomations (BumbMap) etc ... 

     

    Its really not so confusing if you learn a few little things :-)

    So I guess the question then is, which base models to buy pro bundles for, Genesis 3 or 8? I'm asuming the "​Anatomical Elements" are not compatible across model generations?

    What do you mean gone, gone from where? From your content install?

    Laurie

    NB    Every other Daz adult base figure  

     

    Does it inlcude Stylized character pro bundles (Aiko, Kenji, Toon Dwayne, ...) ?

    Usually no, but one can see it in "What's included" if it's there.

    Anyways, this is an ancient thread and if one want's G8 Anatomical Elements now, one gets them for both genders in many of the G8.1 bundles
