Genesis 2 Male

Genesis 2 Male ("G2M" for short ) is the third DAZ-made TriAx Weightmapped and the sixth-generation base male figure from DAZ3D. He is available for free with Daz Studio 4 Pro or with the (currently free) DSON Importer for Poser. He utilizes Autofit features provided in DAZ Studio, among other techniques, to get an item to fit.

G2M can be imported into Poser with the (currently free) DSON Importer for Poser. G2M characters (or major shapes) are classified as Generation 6. Each DAZ Studio user receives this figure with his or her order of the program; there is a separate installer for it called Genesis 2 Starter Essentials. This bundle provides Basic Male, G2M Basicwear, Surf'S Up Clothes and Props, Elite Texture Phillip and poses for the shape.

 * UVSetterGen2: Revised 10/2014
 * A set of 22 UV presets for Genesis 2 Male and Female characters. Use these presets to quickly change the UV map of your character without affecting the material settings. Included are Basic Male, Basic Female, Gia, Girl 6, Michael 4, 5 and 6, Victoria 4, 5 and 6.  Recently added: Hiro 5, Freak 5, David 5, Aiko 5, Stephanie 5, Stephanie 6 and Olympia, Aiko 6, Giselle, Lilith, Gianni, Lee 6. Note that you must have these UV sets installed on your system for the presets to work.  So if you don't have V6, then the V6 preset won't do anything and may give an error message.  Presets only work on Genesis 2 and will not apply any UV changes to Genesis (1). Presets are located in My Library/Presets/UVSetterGen2 for DAZ Studio and Runtime/Libraries/Pose/UVSetterGen2 in Poser.
