Converting shoes from G8 to G3 keeping morphs?

Kitsumo

I bought Rare n Nirv Shoes Collection 2 for Genesis 8 Female(s) knowing full well that I intended to use it for G3. As I expected, the autofit clone worked, but had some issues, so I decided to try to do it my self.

I loaded the shoes on G8F then moved the legs into the default G3 position. Then I converted the shoes to a prop and used the transfer utility to fit them to G3F. It worked almost perfectly, just a little deformation when moving the toes, but that can probably be straightened out by adjusting the weight map. The only problem is that they don't have any of the original morphs the G8 shoes had. Is there any way to transfer those morphs to the G3 version? Or should I just leave well enough alone?

 

Or am I approaching this totally wrong and there's a better way to do it?

You could, with the original shoes in the posed postion, apply each morph you want, export as OBJ (with everything else hidden), then once done load those OBJs  as morphs through Morph Loader pro (which allows you to load them in one go - the morph will take its name from the OBJ). That will work for plain shapes, if there's any ERC linking (to other morphs or to joint rotations) things get a bit fiddlier.

That makes sense. Don't know why I couldn't think of that. No, I don't think there's anything fancy, just adjustment morphs for shaping. Thanks for the reply.

It didn't work at first, I got the Geometry did not match message. I figured it was probably because I didn't save the original G8 shoe as an obj file, I just converted it to a prop and transferred from there. Once I saved the original shoe as an obj and went through the Transfer Utility, Morph Loader Pro worked like a charm. Thanks.

Was sub D turned on? Needs to be base.

I don't rember, but it worked fine.

Looks shorter than the steps I took. I'll give it a try. Thanks.
