Genesis 2 conversion love for Genesis 9

@redflag.

Thanks for the link.

@Redflag Got a morph out of the V4 stuff

I haven't converted the V4 textures yet. I just used the Victoria 9 textures.

Nice conversion 🙂

Amazing work @Recktat19
I'm wondering just how you converted the UV's to Genesis 9, as you said "If you overlay the two meshes..."

Are you using photoshop? I don't have PS (personal reasons involving a hate for subs) so I've used Procreate for UV manipulation, which may be a handful for doing a G8-G9 conversion. I just tried the Reskin app from Renderhub earlier today, but it doesn't convert the gens.

As far as shape, are you using a wrap and doing it in Blender? (I read the "Morph Transfer V4 To GF8.1 (NSFW) thread, so I think I have it figured out).

I was always a fan of GND Shae and GND Anastasia... but I don't have the skill to convert, and even had trouble unsuccessfully getting Shae's hair into DS 😀

For the shape I just wrap Genesis 9 on the model I want. Genesis 9 has double the density of G8s mesh. So Wrapping on G8 lost too much detail. Unless you're a PA converting like this was never yielded desirable results. I wrap the mesh, then load it up in Daz. Split the head and body morphs using the Shape splitter/Xmorphs script.

For textures I use 3d painting software to copy it over. I have OBJs that feature the different generations across from each other, equally distanced from the Z axis. The morphs on Genesis 9 matches the shape of the model I'm copying from. Genesis 9 comes with clone morphs built in, so it took little to no effort to set it up for this. Symmetry on the Z axis allows me to essentially just paint the Genesis 9 figure and it copies the pixels from the model across from it. It's pretty fun, like painting a room. Just keep rubbing the textures on till G9 is no longer bare. Then I export the textures painted on the new UVs. Little to no effort and fun.

There's no V4 clone built in to G9 but that's because Genesis 2 has V4 and V5 UVs. Whatever you export your OBJ as in Daz determines what UV sets they take in Substance Painter or 3DCoat. So I just made a copy of my Genesis 2 to G9 setup with V4 UVs.

I managed to get a decent V4 Alice (Base, Curvey, and Faerie) transfer to G8F. Maybe I ought to offer it up...

@captainron

I would say that was worthy of a custom content upload.

😉

Did you manage to get a one hit conversion to G8F?

🙂

[Redflag]

@Captainron

Certainly... send it my way and I'll test it out! 🙂

I am hoping Recktat19 will share his too!

Alice has been such a celebrated model, I understand the authors are protective of their own creation but the demand is over the roof, still, after so many years. There is something vaguely east European about her face but also, she has a really distinctive face everyone recognizes.

The only other model that has a bit of that appeal (but much less really) is the character that hameleon always uses for its promo shoot. I'd love both a conversion of Alice for G8/G9 and one of hameleon girl, but that ought to be much harder to make as the figure was never shared so it has to be face-gen-ed and the body morphed copying how it looks, a much harder job.

[jr96]

I just noticed that Alice has been converted for G81 by the AS team, check her rendered in the promo images of these products:

She really looks gorgeous, they should sell her officially.

@Recktat19 I think your conversion is very nice, but perhaps i'd make her legs a little more muscular.

[Frank21]

I think she's modelling this outfit too @Zx96.

[ADAM]

Blackhearteds GND is converted somewhere?

[Goblyn]

Could someone provide a Genesis 9 conversion of G2F Cara? The skin detail was always amazing for its time as was the character morph.

Unfortunately, I've been trying (and failing) to use Daz's "Character Converter from Genesis 2 Female to Genesis 8 Female" but it just never seems to work and makes my DS crash by the end of the attempt.

I'll give +2000 pts for it 😀

[Goblyn]

Thank you so much @gelstat!

[Goblyn]

@gelstat It did't go as planned, but it's fine

I've been busy working on a G9F skin, so I have my hands full at the moment. I truly appreciate the attempt and time put into it, though!
