This place has the BEST characters! (CLOSED) (CLOSED)

I regularly purchase my products here and at two other sites and while this place is not the cheapest, it does offer the BEST characters. 

I just wish that more G3 and maybe even G2 would still be offered. I know that it is older technology but I have tons of clothing and accessories for those older characters that I'm not ready to retire yet.

There's a good collection of characters here. Both in terms of originals and IPs. It's cool being able to show off what all they can do. It's slowly getting there on accessories for said characters, too.

The feedback loop is cool to see as well, a product of a great community.

To use all your older stuff on G8, simply transform it with RYSS converter G2 to G8 or G3 to G8. It works easy and give you a wide range of
possible renders

I regularly use G3 Hair and Clothing on G8 characters
Daz Studio does a good job of fitting them (or as Hannes suggets you can take the time to convert the pieces your really like)

I have a few V4 clothes I still use from time to time on G8 characters that I converted with the RSSY clothing converters 

I would suggest getting Fit Control by ZevO (available at Daz) and it's add ons.
I've saved many a poorly made outfit by adding the fitting morphs 
As with all things at Daz, wish list it and wait for it to go on sale...everything eventually does over there

I hadn't tried to use G9 hair on G8 but it is relatively simple

1 Load you G8 figure


2 Unclick the G8 figure...make sure you have nothing in the scene selected


3 Find your G9 hair


4- With nothing selected, load your hair


5- You will get something like this


6-With only the hair selected goto the Parameters tab

You have translate and scale sliders for the hair
You will need to scale the hair up for most G8 characters (I start at 103% or so)
Slide and scale the hair so that it looks right and is positioned correctly
 



In order to position a G9 hair correctly you'll probably need to change the 'Nudge' setting
All the G9 comes with the Nudge setting to high by default
Each slider has it's own parameters you can change and 'Nudge' is one of them


8 - Once you have your hair scaled and in place where you want it, now you parent it (NOT Fit it)
Click on the Hair and right click on Change "item item item" Parent


9 Select G8's head in the menu that pops up


Your G9 hair is now it's own entity in the scene and is parented to the G8 character, so it shows up where it is parented



Since it hasn't been messed with it can be adjusted with it's ordinary sliders


You now have a G9 hair on a G8 character that is fully functional


I have had hairs in the past that don't work well by simple scaling and parenting....but that was back when I was using Poser 10
I suspect that most G9 hairs should work well for this
I currently use this method to put V4 hair that does not convert well to G8 on G8 characters

I hope this helps

and I think it is not to bad comparing to 4K textures
