Has there been any activity in bringing this wonderful product to closer to availability?

    I haven't heard of any.

    However ...

    I was wanting to transfer some Genesis morphs to G2F (the Evolution Muscle morphs and the Genesis Alive morphs), and also some V4 morphs that I'd already GenXed to Genesis (Utopian, Sylph, Gymnast, SheFreak4-1, the NPM Elite morphs and several of the custom morphs in some of Mihrelle's V4 characters). I (temporarily) moved all morphs but those out of the Genesis data folder, loaded Genesis and Genesis 2 Female, then started the transfer tool and told it to transfer morphs from Genesis to Genesis 2 Female. It transferred them all within seconds, and perfectly - if I apply the respective V4 base shape morphs to both Genesis and Genesis 2 Female, and then dial any of those transferred morphs up in both, they are identical in both. A little bit of file copying and editing, and I got the whole Genesis Evolution Muscularity functionality in Genesis 2 Female, including the single Muscle Volume dial and the Flexions-ON-OFF to have muscles flexing automatically on bending joints.

    So with the transfer tool in DS, you can actually move any Genesis morphs to Genesis 2 Female without GenX, including any V4 morphs you've transferred to Genesis with GenX, and get results as good as within Genesis. A proper GenX to G2F would, I suppose, be able to produce slightly more detailed conversions of V4 morphs to G2F in those areas where G2F has a slightly higher mesh density than Genesis (basically the face); but using the transfer utility certainly produces very useable results in the meantime.

    ...I'm wondering if it isn't on hold until G2M comes out so he doesn't have to do a second update.

    Getting a little impatient considering I heard the next release is yet another character for G2F (Teen Josie).

    Curious that he did not participate in the PA sale. :question:

    There were several vendors that did not participate. A couple had flash sales before the PA sale but others didn't. DAZ used to have at least one day when all PA's were on sale but who knows this time around.

    I was hoping Nerd3D and a couple of smaller vendors would be on sale but, oh well...

    Hi David (or anyone else for that matter) could you tell me step-by-step how this was done, with which options? I want to transfer the evolution muscularity morphs (for flexions) to G2M but not sure how to get them to transfer and save them out. Many thanks!

    Yes I just tried to transfer genesis to genesis2 and it freezes at 17% and crashes daz studio 4.6.

    This transfer increase the memory use. When I dit it DS4 memory usage changed from 700.000 Kb to 1.600.000 kb, and I had few morph in genesis.

    I have 32 gig of ram. If that's not enough then I will make it 64 gig because all I want to do is get all of my v3 and v4 stuff in to g2 but I honestly don't think that's the problem here.
