Description
Hi everyone,
I have a nice and "easy" way to convert V4 and M4 characters into G8 and I was wondering how it would work to use the same technique with the other Genesis figures.
A test was made with Genesis 1, it worked well but it will demand I think the same extra work than with V4 and M4.
With G2 it worked, like you can see above, perfectly (just a little problem that could have been avoid, if the test hadn't been made very quickly).
At the very moment I am making the test with G3 and there is no reason it shouldn't work as well. (EDIT: To see my convert of Mei-Lin, Mei-Lin 7 convert to G8 )
Anyway, because the tests were successful, I intend to make a tutorial. I'm sure a lot of people could be interested.
I don't know when I'll release it exactly, but I will try to do it this week.
EDIT: The tutorial is done, so here is the link:Tuto: How To Convert Any Genesis Character into G8

I might have tried something like that long time ago but without success.
Do you have or know if there is an existing tutorial for that?

That sounds great. Especially since the textures maps are different between G2 and the later characters. And G3M->G8M would be a nice addition, too.

The conversion will be only for the morphs and not for the textures, although there might be a way to find how to make the texture retrocompatible. I need to make so research.
Here I used for Gia the textures from Aurore by Kayless. By chance it looks pretty close to the original one of Gia6.
The technique will work the same for Male as for Female characters. I even think that you could transfer a Male character to a Female or the inverse, without a problem, with that technique.

Working on the tutorial right now. My next storyline picture is done too, but I haven't wrote the text yet. I don't know which on I'll release first.
By the way, for using G2 textures with more recent characters, I have been given these:

I didn't had the time yet to try them, but it seems promising. ^^

My pleasure.
I finished my test with G3, using Mei-Lin 7 and it has converted, like I thought, perfectly. The great thing is that Mei-Lin's textures are compatible with G8!
I wasn't aware of that (or at least I think I had forgot this), fortunately I had the idea to try.

I have post a quick render like I did with this one of "Mei-Lin", if you haven't seen it yet.
