How do I use Genesis 8 skins on Genesis 2?

FrankTheTank

I only use Genesis 2 and Genesis 1 figures primarily as I am heavily invested in both and I prefer them for the NPR renders I do with 3DL. But I also have some UV products from here and Rendo that I use when I want to use the skin from V4 or Genesis 3 figure on a G2 figure.

But I can't figure out how to transfer a Genesis 8 skin to Genesis 2. I read somewhere that Gen 8 uses the same UVs as Genesis 3 so it seems like it should be easy to do. But I'm not able to use those skins for some reason with the Gen 3 UV product.. There must be a way to do this, does anyone have a tutorial or can they post the steps needed to do this?

This product allows for genesis 3 textures to work on genesis 2. Since genesis 8 textures are almost identical to genesis 3, what you need to do is load the textures you want on genesis 8 and then save as a material preset. Then use the cayman studios product and apply the material preset after the setup process.

Both Genesis and Genesis 2 have multiple UV sets, different ways of wrapping the textures around the model, so in part the answer will depend on exactly which characters you are using. Genesis 2 female uses the Genesis Victoria 5 UVs by default, as I recall, and likewise Genesis 2 male uses the Michael 5 UVs.
