G9 to G8 conversion

Fingers probably don't work because you didn't adjust the bones. Eyes tend to break because of this too. Use joint editor, right click the viewport and choose Edit > Adjust Rigging to Shape and hit accept.

I would be happy for all or any G9F converted to G8G!! Please upload if you have something!

So here is a screen capture of a conversion of P3D Amy from Genesis 9 to Genesis 8. I am converting the textures, as well. All is converted. A screenshot is the best way to show this because I haven't stumbled across all of the proper settings for the texture application, yet. I am including the morph and textures "bare bones" so to speak. It will be a bit of a DIY project. Place the textures where you like...apply as you like. You will need to apply the morph manually and adjust to rigging, erc freeze...etc.

The clones for Genesis 9 to Genesis 8, or the reverse has corrupted eyes, so any conversion using the clones will have corrupted eyes. This morph has pristine eyes.

Here is a link to the folder where you can find your new project. The link won't be around forever. In the folder is a zip for just the morph...and a zip for the morph and converted textures. Remember it is a DIY =)

Don't worry about points. It is a DIY project after all, lol.

Did I mention it is a DIY =)

The eyes are especially susceptible to getting mangled with the majority of processes used in converting. The process I used for morph conversion was almost entirely within DS. Granted, I used several steps for the process.

1) Load Genesis 8 female, set to base resolution, apply clone for Genesis 9 base and export.
2) Load Genesis 9 base. I use the developer kit version. No need for the rest of the items. (eyes, teeth, etc.)
3) Import The Genesis8_Genesis9 clone shape
4) Use the Transfer Utility tool to make the The Genesis8_Genesis9 clone shape a conformer for Genesis 9
5) Apply the desired shape to Genesis 9.
6) Hide Genesis 9 and export the The Genesis8_Genesis9 clone shape.
7) You now have a base morph from Genesis 9 to Genesis 8. However, they have screwy eyes.

To avoid the screwy eyes, you need to use attenuate on morph import. I haven't figured out how to successfully use attenuate on multiple things in DS at once. So I set up base objs with different material settings or groupings to help expedite the process. For this project, I used UVMapperPro to isolate the eyes as 1 material, so I could just exclude them when I import the morph.
1) Import Genesis 8 female to DS
2) Export at base resolution
3) Reassign your exclusion area as a new texture/group using program of choice
4) Import your new obj into DS. The obj will be used for this portion (NOT Genesis 8 figure)
5) Apply your morph created earlier. Select the attenuate option and choose the area intended for exclusion. In this case, the eyes. A setting of 1 will apply the eyes only. A setting of -1 will apply everything but the eyes.
6) Set the morph to 100% and export. You will notice the eyes didn't change. That's exactly what we want.
7) Load Genesis 8 female
8) Apply the morph just created. No special settings needed.
9) You will see that the eyes aren't in the right place. You will need to adjust their position (x,y,z) and possibly their orientation (left-right, up-down) until you are satisfied.
10) Export at base resolution.

You now have a morph with undamaged eyes. To complete the process you need to then import it, adjust rigging to shape and freeze erc...save, etc.

I know it seems like a lot of work. And there may be multiple paths to achieve the same results, but this process works for me...I don't see any way that's going to change, lol.

Here is the full product. Morph is set up and textures applied.

A couple of posts up are all of the steps I used. No tutorial that I'm aware of. This is a process I've been using for a very long time. Maybe I should write one. If you follow the steps above, you have my workflow for the process. I'm always willing to help out or answer questions about it.
