Rank:
Thanks guys!
@eelgoo. Will do that. Uploading now 🙂@trader. I never thought I'd get to grips with Zbrush but I did. Yes it looks confusing but after a couple of pointers and some half watched tutorials I dived in and never looked back. It's powerful, more than any DS modifiers.
I just converted the MAX for V4 (Jessica Alba) and had to load V4, apply the morphs then save the model before genX would see the morphs to transfer to G3. The final result was a no for me. She looked OK but the morph has hardly any detail unlike the others I converted 🙁
Rank:Crazy Rage converted from V4 to G8.1. Stock Victoria 8.1 skin textures. Eyes and tears fixed in Zbrush. Hair texture converted to iray but could do with a complete remap IMO. Needs a little more work along with the rest I converted.
Original V4 character on the blog. https://zonegfx.com/ec-v4-crazy-rage/
Rank:SAV Electra! converted from V4 to G8.1 but this time only needed a slight tweek in zbrush to get the eyebrows to fit. It's a shame to have lost such a talented artist in 2016. I'm sure she would have been producing more great stuff where she still with us.

Rank:Thanks. It's those eyes. On every Forender girl I've converted the eyes are popping out from the sides. I really need reference images to get the sockets accurate. The original textures aren't worth converting, they are low res and lack detail.
@billyhill.
EC eyes always tend to be oversized, so I don't find it that surprising.
Perhaps notch the scale back a little prior to conversion?There are a few merchants that do V4 skins worth converting, obviously EC isn't one of them :0/
Great job with Electra btw.
🙂
Rank:Thanks mate. I did scale the eyes back before conversion after a couple of failed Zbrush attempts. But even after doing that I ran into issues where the eyes looked out of place in DS when moving them around, then I had the tear issues.
Another problem on two of Forenders gals in the texture on the right eye after conversion. The geometry pokes through and the eye making the texture look like glass in parts, but quick smooth in Zbrush fixed that after a lot of trial and error.
No I wouldn't bother with the V4 skins on the current models. They are flat and lifeless. Looked good in Poser but Iray showed their flaws even with the added maps.
Can you point to any good V4 skins?. I remember the Metropolitan bunch of ladies and will have a bash at converting them for G8.1 next week.
Wish me luck.
@billyhill.
Ah I see.
It has been quite a while since I paid much attention to that, so I'll refresh my memory and get back to you on the better quality V4 skins.
No doubt a few folk might make suggestions too. 😉
Rank:Thanks buddy!
Rank:MortemVetus skins are phenomenal. I don't think anyone has matched them in DS. Not many for V4 though but trully excellent.
StudioArtVartanian was also really great. Very High quality
AerySoul had a few really good skins and some packs with extras but I don't know if they'll translate well to DS.
MDD also has nice skins but it's more to do with the options rather than the actual skin quality.
I almost forgot atlantistyle. They made some of the greatest V4 M4 characters of all time. When they came up with them, no one had ever reached this level of realism.

https://www.renderosity.com/rr/mod/bcs/vendor/danaeRank:Thanks for all the replies. I do have the Danae skins and will tinker next week. I hope they look as good on V8 as they did on V4 🙂
I'd love a G8/8.1 Conversion of AerySoul/Awful/Souls Aeon Soul's Alice.
Its was V3 then V4... I thought I saw somewhere that there was a private G3 Versions floating around...
Its the model used for all the Aery Soul stuff
Rank:I'm willing to give those AerySoul characters a go when I have some time but pretty bogged down ATM.
Here's Danae's London V4 skin texture with MargHQ head morph @70% on G8F. For some reason MargHQ's head didn't look right after conversion on G3 but looked great on G8/8.1. Below are some low end renders because DS is giving me hell with Iray again.
The skin although converted to Iray doesn't have all the maps needed such as Spec, Normals and the rest. Cleaning up the skin and removing the lashes and brows from the texture is a job in itself. I'll be doing them over the weekend but porting more characters over to G8.1 that will appear on the blog in the coming week or so. I know one member asked for Danae's characters to be ported over to G8/8.1 but the morphs are dial spun and not sculpted, so that's a no go for now 🙁
