The problem is only for the male converter. I wanted to convert the genesis 3 cowboy suit. I ran the script, it looked like it was working, but when I went to see it it hadn't been added to the genesis 8 folder. So I took the cowboy suit back to try to convert it again and they went back inside the converter window all the elements as if they had not converted them before (usually if an element has already been converted it tells you). At that point, however, the script no longer started in any of the available procedures. In essence, the male script, for reasons I don't understand, no longer converts.

Ok, I think I understand Now, according to the log you posted,
Converting clothing from E:/Daz/My 3D DAZ Library/People/Genesis 3 Male/Clothing/Medical Scrubs Set/MSS Mask A.duf to E:/Daz/My 3D DAZ Library/People/Genesis 8 Male/Clothing/Medical Scrubs Set/MSS Mask A.duf

I want to see if that is happening with everything. Can you post a log trying to convert an item on the C drive? A different (not cowboy suit) on E drive?
I did several tests, I converted from C to E, from E to C, from C to C, from E to E. At the end I uninstalled the male converter and I reinstalled it and of course it reinstalled in the disk E. I tried again to convert from disk E to disk E and it gives me the same error. I no longer know what attempts to make
someone in the facebook support group told me it could be the new version of daz that is causing problems
I don't think it is that as the female version is working (FYI, I use 4.12.1.117).
I looked at all of your logs. They all show the scene id being incorrect. If you load one of those G3 items in a scene (not on a figure), and do Scene Identification, is the Preferred base G8M? That is what the script is seeing.
With the female it works very well, and before it also worked well with the mashio. I didn't understand what the mistake is.
I don't know what has changed. But I need to understand if the item has changed or the script is pulling something incorrectly. If you load one of those G3 items in a scene (not on a figure), and do Scene Identification, is the Preferred base G8M? That is what the script is seeing.
I put on stage G8M. I select it, I open the script, I select the destination folder G8M and I create the directory by selecting the folder with the elements that interest me in G3M. it is what I also do to convert the female's clothes. How do you see in the video. I like it because it is very simple and has never given me problems.

I wish it still wasn't giving you problems.
I am trying to help. It would help if you just test once: If you load one of those G3 items in a scene (not on a figure), and do Scene Identification, is the Preferred base G8M? That is what the script is seeing. If that happens to you, the problem is NOT with the script and it means you can look somewhere else for what changed recently.
Okay so I just got this product and it seems to convert from the neck down fairly well. But the face seems to remain the default Genesis 8. It seems to not transfer the G3 face shape at all. I've mainly tried with the scene converter but also tried once with the regular converter and every time, it just transferred the shape of the body but not the face. Is this normal? Does it have something to do with HD morphs being inaccessible or something?
No, it should just work. If you search for the head morph, is it there and just not turned on? If you go to the morphs directory, (data/DAZ 3D/Genesis 8/Female/Morphs/VENDOR under the FIRST directory for Daz Studio Formats specified in the Content Directory Manager), is there a FHM morph there? What does the log say during conversion?
Well I eventually came to the conclusion that the morphs installed through DAZ Connect didn't work with this product, but the rest did. I uninstalled them all and reinstalled them all through the DAZ Install Manager, and then the character converter successfully converted the characters. And this isn't the first product I've had go from not working to working just because of DAZ Connect. At this point, I'm just going to pretend DAZ Connect doesn't exist.

Weird, I followed the coding conventions so it would work properly with Daz Connect. However, I do not Daz Connect so it is not the most tested code
I think it's this new "DAZ Central" thing. I recently upgraded to it and found that morphs I had before installation of DC, afterwards weren't there. It was very noticeable on Genesis 8 starter stuff. I had to go back and manually install (after downloading the zip from my product page) for the starter pack morphs to work again. It was weird when you go to raise the eyebrow of your Genesis 8 Female, only to discover that the morph didn't appear in the parameters panel. Not exactly sure as to why DC did that.

Huh. I have not tried it yet as I don't like to mix install methods. Thanks for sharing.
I think you should have informed that the converted pupil/iris mesh is distorted.
I am definitely open about all issues with the character converters, as I would rather people not buy the product(s) than be dissatisfied.
From the first post of this thread: "The Character Converter script cannot properly convert all Genesis 3 characters. Characters with extreme morphs may have problems, especially around the eyes."
From the product page:
Please see the product ReadMe for full details.
And then the product readme:
"The Character Converter script cannot properly convert all Genesis 3 Male characters. Characters with extreme morphs may have problems, especially around the eyes. Multi-part characters (e.g., a character that loads a figure and separate horns) cannot be converted. Material presets are also not converted. Default materials copied to your new Genesis 8 characters may have ugly seams and/or misaligned features due to the different UV layout. Items without metadata can be converted but will not show up in Smart Content. They may also need to be converted using a Force Convert Item(s) button."
Ack! Somehow this testing changed the default load-out for G3F. Now every character I open comes with Taurette dialed in.
I am having this same problem, except they will open dialed in to whatever character I last converted.
Any fix for this?
I never heard back from @thistledownsname. I do not have Taurette. My guess is that converting Taurette creates a generically named morph that is pulled in. I would check what morphs were created when converting Taurette and try deleting them ALL first (to see if it is truly something that happened because of using the character converter) and then moving them back in one-by-one to find the problem morph.

Im sorry I did not mention that I was not using Taurette. I have tried it with Bethany 7, Victoria 7, Karen 7, and Adele for Genesis 3 Female as well as some Rendo characters.
I have tried deleting the morphs, and the first character converted works fine,Bbut then the next convrsions will load with the previous character`s morphs.

I think I may have the latest version as I purchased and installed on June 26th, just a few days ago.
I also think that I may have figured it out. After the conversion process, I was just closing the script without saving.
Now after clicking on the save button after conversion, they all seem to load with the correct morphs.
The only problem I have now is what some folks are experiencing with the eyes being distorted in shape with some characters.

Were you using the Custom Scene Character conversion script? If so, yes, you need to save the character. The MORPHS have been saved, but the custom character will not be without you saving it explicitly.

No I did not get to using the Custom Scene Character conversion script yet. At this time, I don`t think i`ll need to use it. I was just using standard character conversion.

Sorry, I don't know if I should post this elsewhere but I'm desperate. Help me please !
I followed the tutorial and tried to convert https://www.daz3d.com/clarice-bundle to G8F. I tried every method, even the legacy one, but I always end up with this :
So I recently had a hard drive crash, and because I never learn, I did not back up recently. I lost a lot of files, including the perfectly converted characters I had already made. Before the crash Character Converter worked perfectly. Now it doesn't. Instead this happens (with all characters, not just VYK Boopsie, which this is). Any ideas why?

Please, help me.
Ok, let's see if I can help. First, let's start from the beginning.
Please delete (or rename the morphs folder to old morphs or something) the old converted morphs in data/DAZ 3D/Genesis 8/Female/Morphs under the FIRST directory for Daz Studio Formats specified in the Content Directory Manager (F2->"Content" tab->"Content Directory Manager..." button).
Delete the clones in C:/Users/[USERNAME]/AppData/Roaming/DAZ 3D/Studio4/CharacterConverterMorphs
Restart DAZ
start the "Character Converter G3F to G8F" script
Click Reset Options to reset them to their defaults. I would uncheck the Convert Corrective Morphs for now to make the conversion faster
Select (HIGHLIGHT) and check ONE character in the list
Click Convert Item and wait
If the character is wrong, please post the Daz Log (not the log in the script which has less detail)

I have just very happily used the script on the 4 G3F characters I wanted to convert to G8F. They were all FWSA characters, and the script recognised none of the FWSA character .duf files as valid ones. So I saved the character as a custom character preset duf file, and it worked perfectly. Thanks, very useful.
