Genesis 2 Skins..

[virtamater]

I recently grabbed a lot of Gen 2 models straight from Daz.. none of them have Gen Textures... I know Vam has that generate texture from torso.. but t doesn't look just right.. Ive hacked a torso texture to make the gen texture from.. but they seam to all be missing the area aruond the anus... Please advise for a work around

I've not looked at them within Daz yet as I'm just unfamiliar with how to navigate through it.. here's an image of one of my hacks...
Is it best to just export from within Daz? would it fix it better?


The 2 images with the made up gen textures are from another file and tried to match them up.. but there's a seam where the colors n stuff don't match.
Im using the ultimate pussy textures.. but you can see in the torso skin where the extra parts just not there lol.

Oh. How to convert the black and white bump map to a normal? or not bother lol..

Vam uses gens from 3dfleetwolfs new gens plus for v6 but i thknk its the earlier version you need. Pretty sure you can just export from daz but substance painter is probably the way to go for better results.

As for bump to normal I've used https://www.smart-page.net/smartnormal/ many times with great results.

I found a work around.. after looking through my other textures. i saw how much was missing from the torso to complete the gen text and it wasn't much.. so using this as a guide, I can now add whats missing and make my own.
Thanks


Basically its just missing the anus part.. so i set up some templetes and used the torso texture and copoy pasted n blended the new part and added the gen details lol.. a bit time consuming, but not terrible.

Vam To Daz 2 - Plugins + Scripts -

Introducing VAM To Daz 2 This is a utility I made to bring my VAM characters back into Daz Studio. Once it is in Daz you can then send the model out to Maya, Blender, Zbrush, etc... for further refinement. With a simple drag and drop operation...

? Is there a Daz to Vam???? i recently acquired a bunch of clothes from Daz too and been wondering how to get them into Vam.. Where to find info on that?

Clothes is easy, you just need the clone morphs for the different generations.

Gen3/8 - https://hub.virtamate.com/threads/daz3d-autofit-clones.51210/
Gen 9 - https://hub.virtamate.com/resources/genesis-9-autofit-clone-for-genesis-2-female.48220/

And the OG

I think the only changes you need to make is to export the fitted cloth as obj then reimport before saving the scene for vam.

Thank You!

The Custom clothing option.. is that also the way to import Daz peeps . through the custom section within the skins?
I'm gonna pay around with this for a bit.. thanks again!

Moving g2 morphs from daz to vam is easy you just grab the morphs in .dsf format from your daz library and drop them in your vam morphs folder.

There's a bit more involved for g3/8/9 as these need conversion to g2 first, there's a few plugins and nuances involved to do the job properly.

Deal with the clothes and we can cross that bridge later

Thanks again! imported a top. fairly easy although.. it's mesh seems like it was designed for a larger bust so it looks like it's a bit to high on Lexie within the default scene.. I also realized that I don't have the Gens addon in Daz so perhaps thats why there's no Gen Textures included on the looks I just bought? .. i recently read the gens morphs come with a bundle or something?
Is that another Golden Palace I'd have to get from the site that provides it for VaM2?

The clothes is definitely enough to figure out now lol Thanks again!

Top and cloth... I'll deal with the sims later.. I'm not sure where they are within Daz lol.. Plenty to mess around with
