Product name: Legacy UVs for Genesis 3: V4 ------------------------------------------ Copyright: February 2016 Vendor: Cayman Studios ------------------------------------------ Thank you for purchasing "Legacy UVs for Genesis 3: V4". "Legacy UVs for Genesis 3: V4" is a UV Map and Geograft Kit which enables the use of Victoria 4 textures on Genesis 3 Female. The UV maps for Genesis 3 figures use a UV mapping protocol called UDIM (U-Dimensional) and now divide the surfaces differently from preceding generations of DAZ figures. This means that some surfaces of Genesis 3 figures cannot use all the corresponding textures of previous generations because a surface cannot utilise more than one UV map. However, if these surfaces are given a second skin in the form of geografts then the geografts can use their own independent UV maps to access the textures. Usually geografts are used to make geometric additions to an object, but in this case they serve only as surfaces to display seamlessly the otherwise unavailable textures. This kit includes: - Five geografts for the head, shoulders and legs - Victoria 4 legacy UV maps for Genesis 3 and the geografts - Simple scripted loading procedures - Optional toolbar facility Instructions for use -------------------- 1. Load and select Genesis 3 Female. 2. Click on the '_Prepare G3F' icon. This will load and fit the five geografts, create the Legacy Surface Selection Sets so that legacy Material files will recognise the surface names, and apply a neutral surface material to Genesis 3. Genesis 3 and the geografts will also be selected in the Scene panel in readiness for the application of the legacy textures. If you have fitted the genitalia geograft to Genesis 3, that will be also be prepared and selected. If you wish to add the genitalia at a later stage you must rerun the '_Prepare G3F' script. You can also rerun the '_Prepare G3F' at any time to ensure that all the geografts are selected, because the script will check for existing geografts and will not keep loading new ones. 3. Apply the Legacy Material files in the normal way by navigating to the required folders and clicking the icons. The Material files must be in .duf format to work correctly with Genesis 3. You can either prepare these yourself by loading the MATs onto Victoria 4 and then saving them within DAZ Studio as Material Presets, or you can utilise a program such as DraagonStorm's "V4 Skins Batch Converter" which will convert them automatically. The Batch Converter will also automatically save the UV Set to "Victoria 4", so the textures will now fit correctly without further ado. You can also save your own .duf files to the V4 UV Set after loading them onto either G2F or G3F, setting the UVs, and then re-saving the .duf files. 4. If the .duf file does not set the UVs to V4, click on the 'Apply V4 UVs' icon. This will change the UV sets for all the selected surfaces to 'Victoria 4', and you will now have Genesis 3 Female fitted correctly with Victoria 4 textures. For convenience I have included an optional toolbar which you can load from the 'Components' sub-folder. This will make the icons in the main folder available as buttons which can be easily accessed without having to navigate back and forth between folders. If you already have a toolbar set up from a previous installation of a Legacy UVs product you can remove it and then add the new toolbar which will incorporate all the buttons. The other icons in the Components folder are .duf files for the individual geografts, the material file for the 'neutral' start surface, and the script which adds the legacy surface names to Genesis 3 and the genitalia. It should not usually be necessary to use any of these directly as they are all run when the '_Prepare G3F' icon is clicked. LIE presets ----------- Loading a LIE preset may result in multiple layers if the original preset was designed to span more than one surface on Victoria 4. For example a LIE preset (like a tattoo) covering the neck, torso and hip surfaces on Victoria 4 will be loaded three times onto the torso surface for Genesis 3 because the torso now covers the surfaces originally covered by the neck, torso and hips. The additional layers can be removed in the LIE editor. *** If you have any questions or observations about this product please feel free to contact me using the Renderosity Sitemail and I will do my best to reply. System Requirements ------------------- DAZ Studio only. Installation Instructions -------------------------- Merge the included folders with your existing folders by copying them into the Parent folder within the main DAZ Studio folders. Because the V4 UVs employ the same geografts as other Legacy UVs in the series you may be asked if you wish to overwrite existing files. It is perfectly safe to do so. For DAZ Studio 4.5+ ------------------- Icons for 'Legacy UVs for Genesis 3: V4' can be found under "People/Genesis 3 Female/Anatomy/Legacy UVs" in the DAZ Studio Folders.
