G9 textures to G8

[GrimCreeper3]

Like the title says I wanna to transfer the skins texture from G9F to G8F is there a known way?

There are 3 ways that I am aware of. I am sure there are others

1) Wrap3...either stand-alone or in conjunction with ZBrush plugin. Most people doing conversions seem to be doing it this way.
2) Blender. Not too familiar with the process...Blender newbie
3) Using Ultimate Unwrap 3D. This is the process I use. Unfortunately, you need a working version and I haven't ever seen a crack for it. Once you've done the set up for the different figures, the transfer is fast and easy. It converts any texture associated with the file (one at a time) You do have to set up materials manually afterwards, but that's to be expected.

I not sure why anyone would want to. As far as I've seen most G9 skin textures aren't as good as many available G8/8.1 ones, and without the ridiculous G9 subD there's no gain even if there was. I can understand going the other way, G8 to G9, but I haven't seen any particular G9 ones I'd like to transfer the other way.
Jesus wept, just look at how pathetic these Daz new releases are. Skin realism?, my fat arse. More like a plastic Ken doll that little kids play with. $23 please LOL.

I just like that I can transfer between M4/V4 and Genesis 9 and everything in between. I have mainly been transferring to Genesis 9 rather than from Genesis 9. Not fond of the mapping on Genesis 9 at all...but it is a new toy, so I like to experiment with it =)

Not saying you're wrong, but that's a straight up cherry-pick lol.

can be used to convert textures between all generations, not only to G2F like described. it's not that complicated to create a template for converting G9 to G8/8.1 once you understand how it works.

Don't bother is what I say. I did some G8 to G9 texture conversions in Blender, you would barely notice the difference, then comes all the cleaning up and alterations in PS or Gimp. Believe me when I say it aint worth the hassle.

I can definitly say the G9 skins are alot worse than some G8.1 and 8 skins but there are some that are good and aren't the same or close to what I want, the main reason is the morphs thats all, cause G9 has next to none morphs so would make more sense to transfer the skins I want than transfer 1000 shape morphs

@grimcreeper3

I found a Blender tutorial a few months back on the DAZ forums but can no longer find it. People were asking about tranferring G8 skins to G9, i think it was Wendylovescats who posted the Blender tutorial. It was straight forward and fairly simple process that took around 15 minutes per conversion and a little longer if you want 8K maps, depending on your PC specs that is.

will give a look thank you
