If I'm understanding this right, Genesis 3 is a unimesh figure on which all of their current line of characters are based...V7, Eva 7, Josie 7, etc.

It seems like Genesis 1 you could mix Victoria 1, 2, 3, 4 and all of their varietal characters no problemo, and all of their hair, clothes, props, textures went along for the ride.

Now, with Genesis 3, each character is quasi-proprietary? Meaning what works for Eva may not work for Karen? Am I understanding this correctly? Each of these new character packs have an entirely new UV mapping so the textures are not interchangeable???

That seems crazy to me....I understand the need for different grouping, perhaps, or different joint parameters/weight mapping...but it's supposed to be a unimesh, yes? So why on earth screw with the UVs???

Please let me know if I am all pear-shaped on this as my new found enthusiasm Is fading fast and I'd hate to fade due to a simple error on my part.
