Do you find a particular advantage to 8.1 over Genesis 8, or do you just use 8.1 because it's newer?

Tue, Mar 28, 2023I use 8.1 because the Textures maps that I have, are for Genesis 8.1 .
But I found a way to convert them for Genesis 8 ,so I can now also make a Genesis 8 version.
but since every items for genesis 8 works on Genesis 8.1 , is it really useful to make a G8 version ?
I may make Freya available for G8 and G8.1. It will depends of the time I have.

Tue, Mar 28, 2023A lot of expressions that work on 8 don't work on 8.1, and vice-versa, so it's weird sometimes dealing with 8 and 8.1.

Mon, Apr 03, 2023You can fix that easily.
You can move the files under the following directories to another location:
DataDAZ 3DMy DAZ 3D LibrarydataDAZ 3DGenesis 8Female 8_1MorphsDaz 3DBase Pose Head
DataDAZ 3DMy DAZ 3D LibrarydataDAZ 3DGenesis 8Female 8_1MorphsDaz 3DExpressions

DataDAZ 3DMy DAZ 3D LibrarydataDAZ 3DGenesis 8Male 8_1MorphsDaz 3DExpressions
I stuck those in a directory under those base directories called "Backup" in case something went sideways. Doesn't seem to affect anything other than allowing 8.1 models to use Gen 8 expressions.

Mon, Apr 03, 2023I don't understand what you are saying. Do you mean that by moving the poses and expressions to different folders named for 8_1 they will work on 8.1? I thought it was new facial geometry that made them not compatible.

Mon, Apr 03, 2023Those files implement some kind of lock on the expressions.
It doesn't seem to break anything by removing them, but I'd recommend putting them into a separate folder. That way when a Daz 8.1 character starts up, it doesn't load those files in, allowing you to use Gen 8 experssions on 8.1 models.
No idea why it works. I discovered the issue with Metahuman add-ons.
