Some merchants are sticking with G8 / G8.1 at propriatory stores.
Less so at Daz, probably no surprise or coincidence there!:0/
Chiming in to say I also appreciate G9 to G8 conversions. Very happy to see this thread and a lot of the great info folks have posted here.
I suppose I'd be just as fine with the other way, if all those great G8 characters, clothes, and hairs were converted to G9... but who has that kind of time? Hah!
I have compiled a list.
Most are 'OK's rather than 'would really like'
As you might expect the ones nearer the top of the list are from the the usual suspects of better quality character merchants.
Bluejaunte's Sepideh, CarbonCrow's Elanor, CJ's Elysia, Emrys' Marisela, HID's Ariel & Emmy.
KOO's Emilie, RY's Tiffany, VYK's Milan & Sydney.
Those are the one's currently at the top of my list anyway.
BTW Could Richard's G9 G8F Clothing / Hair clone assist in the conversion process?
🙂
For me & I am sure for others, the intent is to get away from the woefully inadequate androgenous G9 base, and back to the proven G8F / G8.1F base.
Sure she isn't perfect, but folk know how to minimise her inadequacies now, and play to her strengths.
😉
@eelgoo -- I can believe that. I haven't messed with G9 enough to see for myself, but it sounds like the uni-mesh approach has had some issues. I get the impression they went that route to make things easier/cheaper for DAZ and PAs to sell more items, rather than get a better for users.
@inverseKinematics -- about which G9 characters we think are worthy of being converted, I'd be kind of interested in the more creature-like characters such as the HH Demon. Though I imagine that would be a bigger project given how much those change the base mesh. (I think a lot of those rely on geografts?)@inverseKinematics , if you (or any one else) would convert any G9F characters by https://www.daz3d.com/justspitey or https://www.daz3d.com/mousso to G8F (I prefer G8F before G8_1F) I would pay a minimum of 20.000 points (and you can of course upload it to the blog).
The ones I am most interested in are:

https://www.daz3d.com/mso-christina-hd-for-genesis-9-feminine40.000 points each for those.
Richard Yan, @Windreaver0118 , did an excellent conversion of https://www.daz3d.com/js-sarah-hd-for-genesis-9 but it takes some time to do the conversion so I am hoping more people could find the time to do it!
NOTE!: I am only asking for the head morph, not body morph or skin. It's also NOT necessary with HD morphs.
Yiiipiii!!!!

Bluejaunte’s Sepideh conversion is going fairly smoothly. I haven't corrected eyes or teeth. Still working on textures, but the results are promising. Just using Daz Studio for the morph and Ultimate Unwrap for the textures.
@inverseKinematics
I'll keep that in mind =)
@eelgoo
Thanks
@chonakz
Are you sure that all you want are head morphs?The skin would be nice but the head morph is the really important thing for me. So the idea is that the easier it is, the more likely it is that I get what I REALLY want 🙂 .
The body morph is not of any interest as I use G8F custom bodies.
Can you do some conversions as well?
https://i.postimg.cc/7L7yFS00/Mou-Christina.jpg
Mousso's Christina applied to 8.1. 8 is still possible. The morph can apply to either. The eyes and teeth need correcting, of course...it's just the initial conversion. The skin hasn't been converted yet.
Unfortunately, it'll be a week before I can spend time perfecting the morphs. I'm in the process of moving and it'll be at least that long a wait.Aaah, nice! Waiting some more are really OK, been waiting to get my hands on those characters for a loooong time!
For myself, I am looking for head & body morphs.
I am not bothered about the textures. I have plenty of good G8F skins.
🙂I'd pay pts toward head morphs and MATs. (I'm in same boat as @chonakz on body morphs, but wouldn't refuse full conversions.)
I'm also interested in some MSO G9 chars, specifically to start:
h**ps://www.daz3d.com/mso-sheena-hd-for-genesis-9-feminine
h**ps://www.daz3d.com/mso-violet-hd-for-genesis-9Also interested in a Joan 9 conversion:
h**ps://www.daz3d.com/joan-9-hd
...specifically for use with Joan 9 HD High Elf add-on:
h**ps://www.daz3d.com/joan-9-hd-high-elf-add-onHow are you all doing the map conversions if including textures? And if doing MATs, will [your] conversions be both G8 and 8.1 compatible, and Iray or PBR? Just curious.
The G9 maps (I may not have Essentials, but do have some G9 maps that I've looked at) are completely different. And if G9 textures are crap (referring back to previous in this thread from @inversekinematics), then how to salvage and make usable for G8/8.1?
The whole thing (G9 in general) seems overly-complicated with diminishing returns (opinion).
