I just got Aiko 3 (as a free download from DAZ, but also on the coverdisc of 3DWorld Magazine). My question concerns the compatibility of the A3 figure and the associated freebies, such as Aiko's Clothing Pack, with other DAZ products (particularly V3 and S3).

1. in what way might V3/S3 content be applied to A3?

• Steph3 morph interchangability is mentioned on
  the DAZ website
• V3/S3 Clothing Pack texture interchangability
  is also mentioned somewhere

As a means of optimizing my use of these A3 freebies, what other items should I be looking for (S3 morphs, V3 T-Shirt textures, etc.).

Any clarification would be appreciated.
Thanks,
michael

V3 and SP textures can be used on Aiko. You may have to apply them to her legs by hand, though, because her leg material zones are different.

The full version of Aiko comes with an Aiko-to-SP figure, which is basically Aiko's head on SP's body. That figure can wear SP's clothing.

Aiko LE - the free version you can DL at DAZ - does not come with the Aiko-to-SP figure. Not sure if the 3DWorld version of Aiko is the full version, or Aiko LE.

The 3dworld magazine version seems to be the full one, it does have the aiko to sp figure with it.

It doesn't have any Aiko morphs itself though i.e. head or body morphs so without those it's next to useless or as good as the LE version which is what I already had. I feel a bit conned by the 3D world version. If you look in the mag [deep] you can get the full version of Aiko for a 25% discount by having the magazine.
So yes you do get the A3 to SP morph but it's not the full version of Aiko!

The Aiko version on my cd with 3d world magazine was in fact Aiko Complete, the morphs are all there and so are the maps? The 25% discount was on the Aiko Pro Bundle which included many clothing items and hair items.

The morphs are with my 3d world cd version as well.

Yea, I know so are mine, my mistake. I took another look after I posted that and tried a couple of things and realized! Duh! Sorry! :-((

The "priceless" thread above seems to indicate that many, but not all of the Aiko morphs are on the disk...apparently the file size is a bit lighter than the original DAZ pack. Still quite cool.

The file might have been made more compact to fit on the disk, so the size might not matter so much.
