I know that the Genesis characters will take V4 textures, but I can't seem to get that to work with Genesis 2. Any suggestions? Also, any links for free G2 textures? I haven't found any yet myself.

From what I understand you need Victoria 4 for Genesis 2 to use V4 UVmapping on G2.
The shape is availible in DAZ store : http://www.daz3d.com/victoria-4-for-genesis-2-female
Just like with Genesis needs Generation 3 Iconinc shapes to use their textures.

In addition to getting the V4 UV set, you will have to update the material files.
PZ2 doesn't work on Genesis 2, they have to be converted to DUF.
If you don't want to buy a conversion utility, they are fairly easy to convert.
Just apply the texture to a V4 figure, then use the "Add Asset" button to save as a material preset. you will then have a DUF that works on G2F.
If you have the UV sets, you can also convert textures with the Map Transfer utilty.
For G2F, you can convert from v4,v5 or v6

Unfortunately not - because the layout of the material zones is different there is no way to get Gen 3 maps on later figures with a simple UV set swap - the maps need to be converted with Texture Converter 2 or the like. The Gen 3 shapes add a morph and an AutoFit clone for converting clothes.
