Does anyone know of a product that can turn a genesis 8 female character into a genesis 8.1 female character? I have been downloading multiple characters I would like to use and find out that even characters they say are 8 and 8.1 compatible they are not. They do not take advantage of all of the advancements 8.1 has to offer. They do not use the correct Head, Face, Body and eye Textures? Trying to do this yourself is a pain. Has anyone seen a product that can do this automatically. Second is there a product that has automated the process of creating a female anatomical element texture for genesis 8 and 8.1 female?
Genesis 8 to 8.1 is the easiest conversion of your life.
I would get acquainted with the 'surfaces' tab, cause that's really where all the magic happens. Before you start it's good to check that all your Genesis 8.1 materials is using Iray Uber instead of PBR Shader. Most Genesis 8 uses Iray Uber.
Morphs are simple. If you boot up the base 'Genesis 8.1 female' it loads all the Genesis 8 head and body morphs. Dial in the morphs for the Genesis 8 character you want to use.
For the textures, you can try to simply apply the material presets for the G8 character, though the two have different texture zones so often you get an error message instead.
So here's the work around:
1. Load the original Genesis 8 character, or base genesis 8 and apply the material preset.
2. Go into the surfaces tab of the G8 character and under 'surfaces', select every material zone (Face, Legs, Eye moisture, Etc) except for Torso. Right click and hit 'Copy Selected Material(s)'.
3. Go to the Genesis 8.1 character's surface tab and select the same material zones, except for Head and Body. Right click and choose 'Paste to Selected Material(s)'. This should apply the textures to the 8.1 character.
4. Go back to Genesis 8 surface tab. This time copy just the 'Torso'.
5. Paste the 'Torso' material to both the 'Head' and 'Body' materials on Genesis 8.1.
6. Finally in Genesis 8.1 surfaces tab, select all the materials. Then in the search bar at the top on the right, search for 'UV Set'. Choose 'Base Female'.It should work perfectly now! Save yourself a material preset for Genesis 8 and next time you want to use this Genesis 8 textures on G8.1 you won't have to do all this again.
The above is still 8 on 8.1. I want to convert to 8.1. Morphs are the same it is the surfaces I want to convert to 8.1. Hopefully automated if there is something? Eyes cannot be converted without replacing texture. Torso has to be split into head and body. Plus other changes. I was looking for a more automated approach. I appreciate you help I may not have been explaining what I needed well enough.
