It is Richard’s work, so best approach him.
I find this statement amusing
July 11, 2023 at 7:15 AM #1996721Why?
July 12, 2023 at 5:49 AM #1997252Now that you guys talk about Ultimate Unwrap 3d...
What is the difference between demo and registered?July 12, 2023 at 6:54 AM #1997266AFAIK, it is fully functional except for saving.
July 12, 2023 at 9:03 AM #1997422@mxyzptlk , Ah! I don't do textures..., but I do know "reverse engineering". I'm going for it.. Thanks!
July 12, 2023 at 9:57 AM #1997454It seems the exe/PE is packed whit a strange packer called Obsidium, but no sure.. 😀
FUNNY! 😀July 14, 2023 at 11:59 AM #1998515Are any of you talented script type people anywhere near a G9 to G8.1F Character Converter?
As I said earlier, I am more interested in the morphs than the textures.

January 18, 2024 at 8:48 AM #2054046This really seems to have stalled.
Has there been no progress?

January 22, 2024 at 5:39 PM #2054855@eelgoo I tried this https://zonegfx.com/genesis-9-uvs-for-genesis-8-and-8-1-female/
It works perfectly for the textures, no problems with geografts likes NGV8 either, but it needs some extra steps for the geograft and the eyes.
The morphs tho, doing it manually is still the best way to do it imo. Its also the fastest and less tedious part of the conversion so I think I will just do the morph next time and leave the textures to the tool above.January 22, 2024 at 5:54 PM #2054857From my personal point of view, as I have said before, I am not really interested in the textures; just the head & body morphs of the better G9 offerings.
January 25, 2024 at 5:47 PM #2055287I'm with @eelgoo. I just want the morph. I don't care about textures or UV's. Just the morph.
So far, The best way to convert, IMHO, was with this video.
But I'd much rather have a script to do it all.
January 25, 2024 at 6:31 PM #2055301The trouble with that is that you need to have the G9 bloat installed.
It would be more efficient to be able just to define the morph source duf & work from that onto the G8 / 8.1F base.

January 26, 2024 at 7:39 AM #2055354Speaking of the "original" conversion method (linked from WP Guru/Verslice). Who here has had success with it?
Have, since, upgraded SSD and broken down and installed G9 bloat for other reasons (I know I know, "never"). But with running older (pre 4.21) DS, cannot get G9 Dev Tools v0.3 scripts to run. (Yes, tried running individually from files, but each in tutorial still errors out.) Verslice mentions what the core of each script does in background (@1:25, "Set G9 to Shape" = set a new base shape; @4:55 "Create Follower" = transfer utility). But when attempting each manually things still don't work, so something seems different. As well the final step (@6:08 "Update Follower Base Shape") has no equivalent background action mentioned to manually try prior to the final "Set G9 to Shape" script run (set new base shape to reset). So not sure what to do without working scripts or a manual workaround (besides upgrade DS or run parallel to test).
Just wondering who's been successful with the WP method, and under what conditions.
