Thanks for the review regarding G8.1... At the moment I am not updating to G8.1 but will do in the near future mainly because of the teeth and eyes.

Tried some tests with g8.1F : - new eyes needs tweaking but looks nicer, mouth area too - new skin looks promising but oddly enough opacity masks and diffuse overlay are not allowed anymore, wich closes some nice options. New skin doesnt make significant difference render-wise, but I guess instancing micropores maps will save some memory (and can be conveniently applied to models without very detailed bump like those from games). - Annoying and useless separation for neck piece is baffling me since it only adds annoyance (Map transfer do do, more memory usage, more seams to get right and same definition for torso map) without benefits (mostly covered by hair anyway)... - Some full body morphs are not scaling right with bones, its a bit random atm. - Still no added morphs/JCM for crotch area, wich sorely lacking such. Bending legs still atrocious. Guess we will have to wait before initial things are ironed out and maybe we can get the full out of this update...

Any documentation on this or place where it's talked about? I'm just afraid of dumping these in without knowing what they're replacing. Thanks for the link though!

BMRecreation on Deviantart made it. The link works for me, but try this one. https://nopy.to/VbVOdn0K/data.7z

Do you have the name of the creator or another link? That one is dead

Someone has made a fix to make G8f expressions work with G8.1. Get it here: https://www103.zippyshare.com/v/x89u523z/file.html I don't know if I should link where I found it as it may be against patreon TOS. Scan it for malware if you want. It's made by a known Daz asset creator.

Thanks for the report. If it is like that I will stick to my current setup for a while since I have nos crashes ;)...

We need to hack the S out of it... Or maybe we don't need too since G8 expressions from the store are in all due honesty really bad. I always use the ones I created which are extremely subtle.

"To access all the features Genesis 8.1 has to offer, be sure to update the Daz Studio Default Resources package to 4.15+. Also, keep in mind that your previous Genesis characters are compatible with 8.1, but 8.1 characters aren’t compatible on earlier platforms." I really wish they would put some effort into performance and stability as well, I've had more crashes in Daz in a month than I had with 3DS Max over a couple of years
