Genesis 1, 2, and 3 In Carrara 8.5 Pro

Sorry to do this again. I almost feel like there should be a sticky that relates specifically to using Genesis figures in Carrara.

Anyhow I have made a few observations but I also have a few questions.

Regarding Genesis 1

1. I know that I need to import Genesis into Carrara as a ,duf.
2. How does one go about changing the UV's? In this case I want to apply M5 UV's to Genesis 1 but I don't see an option to switch between UV Maps? Or better stated, how do I go about importing Genesis with M5 UV's in place?

Thanks in advance.

    import him as M5 or import his preset on existing figure with it selected
    you can save various characters if you use mixed UV maps in DAZ studio and load those in Carrara too

    While you can load M5 or M5 hero preset characters straight from My Daz 3dLibrary/People/Genesis/Characters and they will of course come preloaded with the M5 UVs, you can load M5 UVs onto any Genesis character from MyDaz3dLibrary/People/Genesis/Materials/UV Sets (loading is drag and drop onto the 'actor' of the Genesis). And that's the place where you'll find UVs of different kinds to be dropped onto any Genesis figure. When I purchased the improved V4 UVs for Genesis from the Daz store, this is where I find them to drop them onto my Gen1 figures.

    Hi Rashad

    Regarding Genesis 1

    1. I know that I need to import Genesis into Carrara as a ,duf.

    In Carrara 8.5,. you would simply double click the icon for Genesis in the browser (smart content) just like any other figure.
    As far as I know, Genesis is supplied in DUF, rather than OBJ or CR2
    Carrara 8 was built to support loading duf.

    2. How does one go about changing the UV’s? In this case I want to apply M5 UV’s to Genesis 1 but I don’t see an option to switch between UV Maps? Or better stated, how do I go about importing Genesis with M5 UV’s in place?

    Jon's post is news to me,. and good news,.. if we can change the uv's form within Carrara,.

    As far as I knew,. we had to load the figure with the UV's for the textures we wanted to use,. and Carrara had no way to change the UV's.once a figure had been loaded.

    Load ...Genesis1 basic Female,.. or ..Genesis Basic Male etc.

    Hi. Just to anticipate some more issues that are likely to occur if you are moving from V4/M4 figures to genesis+ figures, the following thread addresses quite a few issues that you are likely to encounter. Unfortunately, the issues covered in the thread are not in any rational order.

    Hope it helps in the future.
