NOTE: Alisha is NOW available to the Genesis 8 Female Figure with the NEW EXCLUSIVE G8 Bonus Navel Geograft, G8 PerfectNavel v1.0. There will be a Premium Pack available as well for both G8 and G9 platforms in my store as well, so please head over to my store for quick access to these option!
If I recieve enough positive feedback, I will work on a G8 version of my previous NE versions to work on this platform as well (Stephanie/Stephen_G8F/G8M and Eydis_G8 versions). Please contact me if this is something you would like.
DESCRIPTION:
Greetings! My specially crafted character Alisha is now available for the G8 character with an NEW included Naval Geograft. Alisha G8F/8.1 comes in 2 versions, the BASE and Athletic versions. The athletic version gives a more realistic version for her character as a dancer or ballet in form.
Both versions are built on top of Alisha's (Base) architecture so the JCMs will work across both versions of the character.
I have created a separate UV for the G8 Perfect Navel (v1.0). This will allow the creator to manually create new skins for the Navel if the buyer knows how to use the DAZ transfer tool, and fix the seams in an editor. For the moment i am working on a script that will allow the user the ability to transfer the skin more easily. Unlike the G9 version, where I had to add geometry, the G8 version I had to remove and then re-add geometry. In future addition I will rework this, if the need arises.
So, for the moment, the G8 version will work with other G8 characters, but the buyer will need to make the adjustments to be able to use on other G8/8.1 Females to work correctly. I wanted to release these characters now, but i will be including a HOW-TO PDF at a later date to teach others to use the DAZ built-in texture transfer tool; albiet, they will still need to fix the textures with an editor. With the provided TransferUV I made it simple to correct these seams.
Please read the included documents for proper usage and limitations for the included geograft.

Basic Knowledge:
As with all my characters, they are based around the Joint Correction Morphs (JCMs), that help the buyer utilize the character without worrying about bad bends. Also, when making the JCMs, I make them easier to use with collisions so clothing will not clip through limbs when bends are closer to the body. Specifically, the Shins are Keyed JCMs!! Meaning they will start their bend cycle once the shin is closer to the back of the thigh (Bending the Shins all the way), giving a more realistic feel and look!
I take no short cuts in quality. I have taken the hard work out of corrections for you, so pose and get rendering quickly!!
The JCMs are baked into the Body or Head for their individual area morphs/bends to work correctly.
IMPORTANT NOTES:
I have included 4 Main Preloads as this will load any character seamlessly. These Preloads will get you started quickly! I have already provided the Preloads with each body part highlighted as a Favorite. ONCE the Preload is loaded, select the Figure, go to the Parameters Tab and Select Favorites. The Base and Athletic Presets for both Genesis 8 and 8.1 Female will load the Scaling only. NOTE: All key JCM's are tied into the Base Body, it is best to at least have the body dialed in above 60% for minimal use for JCM realism if you like to mix your own figure into Alisha.
Once one of Alisha's presets are dial in, there are a few manual dials for you to choose from. So if you load the PRESET, in Parameters TAB all KEY MORPHS will be in your favorites, so select Favorites and you will see everything you need to get running quickly and adjust what you like on the fly!
I have provided a couple of Manual Shaping Morphs to be utilized at the users command. Including one of the most important, for the FEET, this presets should be dialed to the same settings as the Body Dial Setting. I have provided a crucial (G8F Shoe Helper) to return the characters feet back into the original Genesis 8/8.1 Base. This will allow you to use ANY G8 shoes without distortion. It is highly recommended to use this ONLY when fitting shoes as the base characters feet are sculpted to that specific character and aesthetically pleasing versus the base G8 feet.
I have include a Clothing helper with this character to help with most clothing. I have this morph highlighted as a favorite with the Preset Preloads so the user can dial it down if needed.

______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
**BONUS MORPHS:
NOTE: The provided Animated Poses are made to help the user with complex bends on the thighs and hip area. Use these helpers first when making complex bends, then adjust (Bends/Side2Side/Twist) as needed. When using Bend/Side together, usually on the G8 figure, there are dead zones where bends make very bad distortions, These are smooth and a must for any complex posing. I have eliminated bad key areas in the hips to thighs where these bends and errors occur.
If you choose NOT to use the automated ones, then bend the thighs in any pose, then utilized the 2 provided MANUAL LegOut sliders to fix the distortion in these areas.

NOTICE: I have noticed an increase in interfering JCMs from other vendors that are not properly linked to their respective characters, so be aware that when using my characters to check (Used Morphs) if you see an issue, as they are none when I make my JCMs.
****PLEASE READ the included ReadMe file to get the full info regarding this product and proper use****
INSTRUCTIONS:
Once downloaded, just drag and drop into your "My Library" folder to get started.
Open DAZ Studio and load a fresh Genesis 8 or recommended PRELOADS.
Once the base G8/8.1F is loaded, there are a few options to load:
1. Search the Parameters Tab to locate the morphs and you can manually dial them in.
2. Alternatively go to your Content Library and under /People/Genesis 8 Female/Characters/BG3D/ you can find the PRELOAD and other presets in the next folders already made for you to get started quickly.
**NOTE: The PRELOAD preset will apply all attachments; as well as, scaling AND textures for all items. If you wish to mix and match with other morphs please remove preset by using the provided preset for each type of model chosen, OR manually dial them out in the parameters tab.
The materials folder contains a full character material preset for IRAY ONLY!
Tips/Recommendations: All of my characters work best with dForce clothing, so it is recommended to use them whenever possible. It is not necessary to use dForce to get great results, just a personal preference. Increase smoothing on clothing (3-5 smoothing) to assist as well; but I have tested many clothing and fits a modest amount of clothing very well without assistance or aid of other morphs.
Hair and clothing used in promos are NOT included.
