Question about 2 UV swapping products for Genesis 8

Andrew_C

I see theres 2 different products for swapping UV's and textures on Genesis 8 figures

https://www.daz3d.com/genesis-8-uv-swap-male-and-female-base

https://www.daz3d.com/uv-swap-for-genesis-81

Which works better for Genesis 8.1, I seem to recall there is some difference in materials/shaders designed for 8.1?

And any other tips on UV swapping?

They don't do exactly the same thing:

• The first one allows you to use textures which use G8F / G8M UVs on the opposite gender figure ==> it should logically work with both G8 and G8.1
• The second one allows you to use textures which use G8.1F / G8.1M UVs on the opposite gender figure ==> it will work with G8.1 only due to the changes in surfaces between G8 and G8.1

So which one you need depends on what UVs the texture you want to apply uses: eg if you want to use Michael 8 texture on G8.1F, you need the first one. If you want to use Michael 8.1 texture on G8.1F, you need the second one

Moved to technical Help as it is a content question, not a Daz Studio application topic.
