Quote - What options do you have for UV Set on the surfaces tab?

The Lana texture that comes with G1 is in fact a V4 map. The V5 Bree texture for G1 is a V5 map, while the Bree for G2 is a G2 Base map. G2F Base maps are not compatible with G1 Base Female Maps and vice-versa.

The texture files don't change the UV mapping automatically, or maybe they set it wrong. Have you tried manually setting the UV Set?

M5 definately won't fit.

As I explained earlier to Bob: "You just need to switch the UV-set for Genesis 2 (Victoria 6 in this case) to V5 in the surfaces tab of DAZ Studio".

So yes, I manually change the UV Set for these textures.

Victoria 6 offers three UV-set options in the surfaces menu.

The Genesis2 Base Female and V6 UV's don't differ greatly, things mainly move around in the eyes/forehead and nipple areas when you switch between those UV sets.

V5 textures are completely off with Genesis2 and V6 UV's, as are V4 textures.

The only other UV option you get with Victoria 6 is V5 UV's, and V4 textures do not fit onto those either.

So it's just a process of trial and error to find out what textures work with Victoria 6 and which ones do not.

Tory textures are hardly worth bothering as far as I can tell, not for close-up work at least. Gaby is a bit 'bland', or featureless, but that could also be an advantage in some cases. Sadly the edges around her lips are very sharply defined, which I think is ugly.

The Vianne textures that came with the Victoria 6 package are a bit of a surprise. I had not used them before, but they do look good!

I am making kind of a catalog now because I was losing track of all those texture sets and settings, and for practical reasons ended up using just one over and over again.

Cheers!
