Quote - Have you tried using geometry shell?

Apply geograft to genesis. Create a shell for genesis, set its offset distance to 0 and apply skin texture

The shell is parented to genesis by default.  It automaticaly follows poses, subdivision setting etc.

Hide genesis/geograft before launching Reality.

Thanks for that suggestion!

I am glad you posted it because I haven't yet given much attention to the new features of DAZ Studio 4.5, and for this reason had no immediate plans to install it either. This geometry shell sounds interesting enough though, so I will look into it a.s.a.p.

Cheers!
