I'AM TELLING YOU THE NUMBERS DECIMATOR IS REPORT ARE TWICE THE ACTUAL POLYGON COUNT!

Decimator triangulates the mesh so its numbers are twice the poly count.

While Genesis 2 did separate into a male and female they where still unimesh figures, built from the female mesh. Genesis 3 and 8 gave the male and female their own meshes. The change to the A pose was supposedly to better work with the Dforce clothe simulator they where/are developing.

You can put your libraries anywhere you want (except for OS protected folders) you just need to tell Studio where they are through its Content Directory Manager.

Switch from Library to Folder.

You should not see the actual "Runtime" folder in the Content Library pane.

If you are not running a workstation class computer and software (3DMax or Maya for example) don't waste money on a workstation class graphics card.

You are going to need to be more specific as any figure can be made little, green and with red hair.

To apply a shader both the object and the surface of the object must be selected.

All that is possible with G8M if you can create HD morphs which currently (and probably for quite sometime to come) is only an option for DAZ vendors.

N-gons often only make sense to the program they originated in because the program has extra information about them that many common export formats don't support.

Load a G8F with eyes that work and compare the surface settings with G8M.

Because it is the BASE mesh. Shake or movement suggests that the mesh may have been scaled

Easiest way is to scale up in Studio til the right size then export using Custom 100% Scale followed by import using Custom !00% Scale.

Click the little triangle by the figure/object name(s) to see the actual surfaces
