Renderotica

It's usually just a matter of how the vendor decided to name their product. Victoria 8 (V8) is a character built upon Genesis 8 Female (G8F), and Michael 8 (M8) is a character built upon Genesis 8 Male (G8M). With very few exceptions, the pose sets for one should work with the other, so a pose set marketed for G8F should work fine with V8, and a set for G8M should work fine with M8. And very often, pose sets between figures of the same generation can be used interchangeably. (That is, a pose for G8F/V8 can be applied to G8M/M8, and vice versa.) If a pose set can ONLY be used for a specified figure or character, most vendors are usually pretty good at saying why (usually because of custom morphs or rigging, and other specialist things like that). The times when you'll usually have issues using poses is using poses meant for different generations (like using a pose for G2F on G8F), which -- depending upon the pose(s) and the figure(s) involved -- might have little to no issue, or might go very, very badly. Hope that helps...

Keep in mind that some pose sets (for example, some of Halcyone/Disordercode/Screwt's) are meant to work in combination with certain products (like Lickalicious or New Gens for G3F/G8F) or specific characters (like Josh Crockett's Orc) that will produce odd results if you use them without the specified item. For example, if you don't have a specified item, you'll usually end up with odd-looking blocks acting as placeholders at the item's intended location after you've applied the pose, or your alternate/stand-in character's proportions may change slightly, so you'll have to watch out for that and be prepared to make corrections. Again, the vendor should specify what the requirements are.
