New tutorial using Face Transfer on Genesis 1 to use in Carrara Pro 8.5

cynthia1968

Hello world,

I've been experimenting a lot with Daz Studio Face Transfer and make it work in Carrara. As you probably know, Face Transfer only works on Genesis 8 models. But luckily, there is a way to get it working on Genesis 1 using Genesis 3 UVs for Genesis. Unfortunately, if you want to load the new Genesis 1 model (after using Genesis 3 UVs for Genesis), the model looks distorted.

But like I stated: there's a way to make it work in Carrara--perhaps more then one way. I created a video tutorial how to use the skin textures on a Genesis 1 model in Carrara.

Like I said, there's more than one way to skin a cat, but this is the way I get it done.

oh this is a good one - thanks a zillion for taking the time to put this together and share it with us.

edit to add: after watching this, would I be correct in assuming we could use any (similar) native body skin for the original genesis1 figure and then only need to follow your instructions for the new face transfer *face* map only? The neck seams might need some retouching for the best match/transition, but using your steps, the face would work, and the body would not need the extra steps since it would be native Genesis1, right? This is great. (yes I appreciate that you indicate many ways to do this, but it seems like this step would make your already clear instructions even easier!)

appreciate the video but honestly I prefer Facegen which works in Carrara out of the box on Genesis 1&2 and does side profiles as well as front on.
