All... especially markht... thank you very much for your detailed responses. I have been developing GND4.2 to my own standard (among my custom characters, she is called "Belinda"), and am working on a short light fetish series with her. I never use any shader, map or texture out of the box, so issues in DAZ are not a problem for me. I managed, also, to find a little strapless dress that works nicely for this set, but will explore that issue more later if I convert her to Gen2F. That will be an experiment in itself, because I am very particular about how the various platforms handle muscularity; each has its own strength. If the results are not satisfactory to me, I am willing to suffer some clothing-related inconvenience for the sake of Belinda's physique, with which I am currently very pleased (I did a bit more work on her beyond her original state, and have seen to those classically horrific V4 shoulders). Some other joints are still an issue with more extreme bends; for now, I'll deal with it in composition until I see about a Gen2F conversion.

Sorry for my delay in responding, and thanks once again!
