Hello Everyone:

Hopefully 3feetwolf will not mind this post until he can update himself.

I took a look at the scripts and it is fairly quick and easy to get NVG8 to work on Gen 8.1.

C:\Users\Public\Documents\My DAZ 3D Library\People\Genesis 8 Female\Anatomy\New Genitalia For Victoria 8 or where ever you have your DAZ library

1. Make copies of the following script files:

New Genitalia For Victoria 8
Update The Materials Of New Gens
Remove NGV8 From Current Body

2. Rename them as follows:

New Genitalia For Victoria 8.1
Update The Materials Of New Gens8.1
Remove NGV8.1 From Current Body

You can put them in the same directory and they will show up in the Content Library alongside the others.

Open each file and change the following:

CRTL F these terms in each script:

Genesis8Female and change to Genesis8_1Female

torso and change to body

"Torso" and change to "Body"

 

below are the actual lines in each script:

in file New Genitalia For Victoria 8.1 change the following:

var g_torsoSurface = "Torso"; TO var g_bodySurface = "Body";

( g_charNode.name == "Genesis8Female" ) TO ( g_charNode.name == "Genesis8_1Female" )

var oSourceMat = g_charShape.findMaterial( g_torsoSurface ); TO var oSourceMat = g_charShape.findMaterial( g_bodySurface );

 

in file Update The Materials Of New Gens8.1 change the following:

var g_torsoSurface = "Torso"; TO var g_bodySurface = "Body";

if ( g_charNode && g_charNode.className() == "DzFigure" && ( g_charNode.name == "Genesis8Female" || g_charNode.name == "Genesis3Female" ) && g_charObject ){ TO if ( g_charNode && g_charNode.className() == "DzFigure" && ( g_charNode.name == "Genesis8_1Female" || g_charNode.name == "Genesis3Female" ) && g_charObject ){

var oSourceMat = g_charShape.findMaterial( g_torsoSurface ); TO var oSourceMat = g_charShape.findMaterial( g_BodySurface );

 

in file Remove NGV8.1 From Current Body change the following:

if( g_charNode.name == "Genesis8Female" ){ TO if( g_charNode.name == "Genesis8_1Female" ){

if( oNode && oNode.className() == "DzFigure" && ( oNode.name == "Genesis3Female" || oNode.name == "Genesis8Female" ) && oObject ){ TO if( oNode && oNode.className() == "DzFigure" && ( oNode.name == "Genesis3Female" || oNode.name == "Genesis8_1Female" ) && oObject ){

 

Fuck me, never mind they are encrypted dse.

I have a strange white map around the majora as well as in some parts around the anus.

Either I missed something down the line in the script or my Geos are nuts and I can't find the right maps.

Could you please upload the complete scripts?

Figured out the UV issue: go to your UV folder: data\3feetwolf\New Genitalia For Victoria 8\Base Layer\UV Sets\3feetwolf\Base and make a copy of the Base Female.dsf renamed to Base 8.1 Female.dsf.

Edit the Base 8.1 Female.dsf, and find and replace "Base Female" with "Base 8.1 Female"; also find and replace Base%20Female with Base%208.1%20Female.

I feel sorry that 3feetwolf products are so rarely updated ...
I like them a lot, but Meipe is so much more reactive

I understand he has probably (and unfortunately for us) other important things to do in real life.

I agree and am sorry that 3feetwolf seems to have been unable to continue developing his products. I just wish that I could use his Pubic Hair product on Meipe's GP for G8F.

Or ScatterTransmit which are the two reasons I'm using the the G8.1 model but NOT the PBRSkin, the UberIray skin is PBR anyway, this one just has micro detail which has been done for a while with 8k maps and makeup which you can do on base maps or a geoshell or lie.

 

I've only really used the expansion new gens, it allowed for non stretching skin closeups that the normal one couldn't. I've been sitting on GPv2 for a while and hadn't really given it much thought until now. I have to say I wish I had switched to it earlier. Much more realism and tweak control. Also I can get geoshells to work with it with much less fuss.

I took the previous solutions and added my spin by adding G8.1F to the existing G8F/G3F scripts and
I added code to detect the figure skin shader preset and switch to either PBRSkin or Iray Uber if needed.

A. Update "Base Female.dsf" UVs
    
    1. I followed nightwolf1982's instructions:
    Figured out the UV issue: go to your UV folder: data\3feetwolf\New Genitalia For Victoria 8\Base Layer\
    UVSets\3feetwolf\Base and make a copy of the Base Female.dsf renamed to Base 8.1 Female.dsf.
    Edit the Base 8.1 Female.dsf, and find and replace "Base Female" with "Base 8.1 Female"; also find and
    replaceBase%20Female with Base%208.1%20Female.

    I left the new file in the same folder rather than create a new 8.1 path

B. Update "New Genitalia For Victoria 8.dsa"

1. Replace: g_charNode.name == "Genesis8Female"
    With:  g_charNode.name == "Genesis8_1Female" || g_charNode.name == "Genesis8Female"

2. Modify the code at the bottom of the script
if ( g_charNode && g_charNode.className() == "DzFigure" && ( g_charNode.name == "Genesis8_1Female" || g_charNode.name == "Genesis8Female" || g_charNode.name == "Genesis3Female" ) && g_charObject ){
    // Add these lines
    if(g_charNode.name == "Genesis8_1Female"){
        g_torsoSurface = "Body";
    }else{
        g_torsoSurface = "Torso";
    }
    //end add lines
    g_charShape = g_charObject.getCurrentShape();
    updateGensDufPath();
    if ( addGens() ) {
        initializeGens();
    } else MessageBox.information( "Failed to apply NGV8 to this character!\nPlease contact 3feetwolf([email protected]) to get technical support.", g_appName, "&OK" );
    // And update the error message to include G8.1F
} else MessageBox.information( "Wrong object!\nPlease select a G8.1F/G8F/G3F figure and then run the script again.", g_appName, "&OK" );

3. Add these variables to the global variables at the top of the script
// Added to change shaders
var g_DazIrayUberPath = getAbsolutePath( "/Shader Presets/Iray/DAZ Uber/!Iray Uber Base.duf" );
var g_DazPBRSkinPath = getAbsolutePath( "/Shader Presets/Iray/Daz PBRSkin/Daz Iray PBRSkin.duf" );
// End change shaders

4. Modify the function copyMaterialToBaseLayer() to change shaders
    ...
                        if ( g_gensBaseLayerShape ) {
                        // Add code to change the shader preset between PBRSkin and Iray Uber
                        var oSourceMatShader = oSourceMat.getMaterialName();
                        var SwapShader=false;
                        for ( var i = 0; i < g_baseSurfaces.length; i ++ ) {
                            var Mat = g_gensBaseLayerShape.findMaterial( g_baseSurfaces[ i ]);
                            var Shader = Mat.getMaterialName();
                            if(oSourceMatShader!=Shader){
                                SwapShader=true;
                                Mat.select(true);
                            }
                        }
                        if(SwapShader){
                            g_charNode.select(false);
                            g_gensBaseLayerNode.select(true);
                            if(oSourceMatShader=="PBRSkin"){
                                execDUF(g_DazPBRSkinPath);
                            }else if(oSourceMatShader=="Iray Uber"){
                                execDUF(g_DazIrayUberPath);
                            }
                            g_charNode.select(true);
                            g_gensBaseLayerNode.select(false);
                            for ( var i = 0; i < g_baseSurfaces.length; i ++ ) {
                                var Mat = g_gensBaseLayerShape.findMaterial( g_baseSurfaces[ i ]);
                                Mat.select(false);
                            }
                        }
                        // End Shader Swap

C. Update "Update the Materials of New Gens.dsa"

    1. Repeat Steps B1, B2, B3 & B4. Note step B2 has slightly different code, but lines are added
      at the same point and messages are updated to include G8.1F

    2. Copy the function execDUF( sDufPath ) from "New Genitalia For Victoria 8.dsa" and paste it into the file.

D. Update "Remove NGV8 From Current Body.dsa"

    1. Repeat Step B1

    2. Replace: oNode.name == "Genesis8Female"
       With: oNode.name == "Genesis8Female" || oNode.name == "Genesis8_1Female"
    
    3. Update the error message only in step B4 ...G8F or G3F... to ...G8.1F/G8F/G3F...

E. Update "Zero Morphs.dsa"
    1. No Changes

+1

 

Would be nice.
