Face generator now loads G9 figures... any way to default to Gen 8?
I got the latest update of Studio out of habit, and I don't see much change except Genesis is a non-binary figure not compatible with Genesis 8. With Face transfer, it automatically loads a Gen 9 figure even though I have no intentions of abandoning the massive resources I have collected foe Genesis 8. I further learn that to continue to use Face Transfer, now I have to spend $35 to upgrade to a second liscense. I know the secret to making money in DAZ is to make previous genesis figures obsolete so you have to buy all the same stuff all over again for yet another figure, it's been a bane since DAZ replaced Genesis with Genesis 2. However, I do not feel I should have to forced into Genesis 9. To be frank, defaulting new FT characters to Genesis 9 may be a slick marketing move, but infuriating since the plug in for Genesis 8 that I paid for is now useless. Is there a way to detect if a liscense has been purchased for Genesis 9, and if none exists, to default to Genesis 8, or have a preference dialog that you can choose which figure to load when loading a new Face transfer character?

So you're with a trial version of FT2 but just have license of FT1 ?
If so, you may uncheck FT2 in About Installed Plugin dialog and restart DS... then you will only see G8 option in FT pane.
Thank you. I appreciate that.

If you have a Genesis 8 figure selected then face Transfer will use that, if you have no figure selected it will default to creating a Genesis 9 figure. Face Transfer 2 does not stop Face Transer from working, you are not forced to buy FT2 is you do not want it.
