GenX - Clone, Legacy, Shape. What's the difference?

Lagrange

There is a menu where you can choose:

Victoria 4

Victoria 4 (Clone)

Victoria 4 (Legacy)

Victoria 4 (Shape)

Only the 1st one is clear. What others mean?

 

Also - what is conditional morphs and what is better to do with them? Thanks.

Lagrange

No answears? So. As I see only the 1st one is needed, others are some weird excess stuff.

Are you talking about the "Shape" drop-down? Try the manual - pages 12 and 20 seem to explain this (I won't try to paraphrase as I might get it wrong).

If you haven't come across the manual yet, it's in the DAZ Studio (program) directory under /docs/plugins/Genesis Generation X2.

Lagrange

"...clone shape, which is the original shape of the source figure, or the legacy shape, which is adapted to the target figure. When using a legacy shape, the transferred morphs are adjusted for the differences between the legacy shape and the original shape" - so the legacy one is better then the clone.

Clear about that. There are 2 more options.

Well, I just read the manual again too, and I really don't know what the first and fourth options are for. Dimension3D was active in the forum recently for the release of the G3F/M Addon so maybe you could ask that question there where (s)he might see it.

You know, I did my own research russian style - don't read, just do it with your hands and eyes the obvious way. I converted 1 character with each option, turned on "wire texture shaded", applied each morph one by one and made close-up screenshots. And you know what? No any difference between all of them. Not even smallest one. Exact copies.
