Any way to use Aiko 6 Materials on G3F?

[Morlock]

I figured Aiko 6 would be in one of the seeming zillion legacy UV sets I have, but it isn't. Is there a product for this, and it just isn't being shared? Or is there just no product? Aiko 6 does use its own UV set, and not some other set, right? I've tried G2F and V6 UVs, and neither works right.

Edit: I'm also curious why there's no Genesis UV available for G3M/G3F or G8M/G8F. There are a lot of good Genesis materials, and no way to use them on newer figures, AFAIK.

I can confirm you that Aiko 6 does use it's own set of UV.

I can't really help you with UV and stuff, but have you checked the "Legacy UVs for Genesis 3" series of product to see if any can help you with what you are trying to do ?

Thanks. I have that, but going by the description, it only has A5, S5, D5, and M5 UVs.

I really wish they'd release Legacy UV products containing base Genesis UV set and some of the missed G2F sets like A6. Especially Genesis base, I have a bunch of stuff I'd love to use on G3M or G8M. I can kinda see how the author skipped A6 because there might not be much use, but there are a lot of nice Genesis base sets that could benefit.

There's no legacy UV set for A6 to G3, but there is a G2F to G8F. I think the A6 skins fit the G2 models, right?

Scrap that. It doesn't let you transfer the UVs, just mimics the morphs.

@Morlock : Just to make sure i understand what you are saying:

When you are saying

" I have a bunch of stuff I’d love to use on G3M or G8M. "

, are you refering to skins and UV map ? Or are you refering to clothing, hair and accesories made for Aiko 6 and other Genesis 2 character ?

[Morlock]

Yeah, materials. I've got genx and another converter, so moving morphs is no big deal (until it comes to moving morphs to g8 males, I got nothing for that yet), and I've got autofit and the new converters, so clothes are pretty easy to convert. But I've got no way of using G1 materials on G3 or G8, and there are quite a few I'd like to use. Beast Man, Brute, Cat World, Creature from the Depths, Mr Hyde, Strigoi, etc. (not actually sure if those are all G1 UVs; the ones that are M5 I can use on later figures. But I do remember that Beast Man is G1, he's one of my favorites).

You are probably already aware of it, but the best chance of legacy mats on more modern meshes is provided by these folks. IIRC they are using geografts.

Another method is via the Blacksmith Texture Transformers

Thx eelgoo, hadn't really thought about texture converters. Been a while since I used one.
