So what got cut?

The "Redux" version of Advance Pussy is very similar to all the other genitalia-models available. It is simply a small vagina 3d-model that attaches to the "Genesis 8" figure inside Daz studio. It has many shape and material options to customize the look of the genitalia, and it has morphs that can be used to open the vagina and anus for simple sex-scenes, where the inserted object is round and not too big. It is nice for rendering scenes standard nudes and such, as the "geograft-area" on "AP Redux" is quite small, and does not interfere with any HD morphs or shapes you have applied to your "Genesis 8" figure.

It makes it so that you can have the overall visual look of "Advance Pussy" on your figure, but without the enormous geograft-area of the full product, for scenes where the female is simply nude and such. That way, you can switch to the full product whenever you need it, while the vagina on your female still looks the same overall. 

After my first test, I reported that I got some ugly distortions with the "Redux" version. I have now done a lot more testing and have concluded that these distortions only become clearly visible in a very few poses. For 99 out of 100 of my real-life tests, the "Redux" version simply looks amazing.

At least not according to his findings. Personally, I render more or less slim ladies, and have had no such issues.

More specifically from what I've seen while testing it out, the issue is the inner side of the thighs. You can make the model as thicc as you want but you can't make the thighs touch (or get too close). Personally, it works for me, I like making thicc thighs but I also like to leave a pussy gap, and now I even prefer to make my characters with AP loaded so I can make them to work with it, I just like how much control it has that much. Still have to test Redux but now with that it should be even better, just use that one when you are going to use a pose that closes the legs too much.

Anyway, I'll be definitely waiting for the G9 version, but no pressure, not switching to G9 anytime soon. 

I do hope that it can be fixed, or we could at least have a morph (from adv pussy directly) to close the thigh gap for more flexibility. the gap is just a little too unnatural in my opinion, and is actually kinda deformed while looking from the side.

Seen slightly from the side, unnatural deformation on the upper thighs.

I do understand that redux version probably does not have this issue (since the graft doesn't span towards the entire hip incl the upper thighs), but the non-redux version is still the full package with the best versatility and flexibility, hindered by such deformation.

God, the more I use it the more I fall in love with it.

Only a shame that a few things are kind of missing / lackluster or I'd use it on every character:

1. More Shapes / Morphs - I have a character that's a bit more chubby looks off without a puffy pussy, only thing is that there are no good morphs for that yet. Maybe even also for clit / clit hood ...
2. Wetness - They look great when it's just posing and showing off, but when in action, they kind of look too dry without some wetness options
3. Textures - The last Problem is that they all look a bit same-y, sure you can change the color of the hole thing but a nice option would be something like pussy wizard. Maybe even just using layered textures (using DAZ's LIE to first apply a base texture layer, then layering one for the inside, one for majora, one for minora, ...) to get more distinction between characters would be cool.

Thanks anyways for your work and I'd look forward to further news about potential updates of AP :)

Hey! Fantastic product. I've had it for months and only started playing around with it now. 

Similar to what @RiddledWithFilth had said, I have a slightly thicccer character and this deforms her legs and waist, almost making it look like she's wearing a pair of invisible shorts. Is there a fix for this? I have tried a bunch of things and nothing works.

Yes, author, please make the G9 version. Make it a separate product, we buy 100%.

G8 Basic

With AP

 

Without AP

Looks like for some reason AP is adjusting the horizontal offset on the leg surface, with most textures being more seamless it is a hard thing to catch unless you are looking at all the surface settings, but with a texture like that it becomes more apparent as it gives a definite seam and texture mismatch.   

Though looking at my copy it is loading in correctly at horizontal offset of 0.0 So perhaps your Material copy script is messed up, or if your character is using a non standard UV Set it can sometimes cause a similar look/texture mismatch.
