Is it possible to morph genesis 3 weapons particularly swords and bows to a genesis 8 figure? If so could someone tell me how.

    There are scripts that convert G3 poses to G8. Those will, mostly, do the process of setting the pose automatically (it will probably need some manual adjusting from my experience with the scripts). Then you'd need to parent the props to the correct hand, or whatever it is parented to, and adjust it so it is oriented correctly.

    Or you dould do it all manually. You'd be left to create the poses on your own but the process for actually parenting the props would be pretty much the same. I'd load the prop to a G3 figure and note down what precisely it is attached to and what the x, y, z translations and rotations are. That should give you some basis for doing that for a G8.

    Thank you, I got it to work.

    Errmmm...

    • Take the sword/bow/gun/whatever, move and rotate it so the handle is in the palm of the character's hand.
    • Parent the weapon to the hand
    • Apply enough "fist" pose to the hand to close it around the weapon and fine tune the individual finger/thumb bones as required.
    • Lock the weapon, the hand, and all the finger bones - except the hand's rotation parameters

    Works for all generations of character and any weapon.
