I have the V4 Skins converter to Genesis 2 by Draagonstorm but is there a converter to convert to Genesis 3?  If not is there a best practice to convert materials to Genesis 3 for v4?

    This works well inside of DS https://www.renderosity.com/mod/bcs/?ViewProduct=113767

    @FSMCDesigns Thank you for reminding me that I already own that product!  LoL  I go to that site so seldom that I totally forgot about it.

    There's also this... Texture Transformer 'https://www.renderosity.com/mod/bcs/?ViewProduct=120633', 50% off for the next 21 hours it says, you would need this as well... V4 to G3F Add-On pack for Texture Transformer 'https://www.renderosity.com/mod/bcs/?ViewProduct=112851'. It converts the textures instead of just allowing you to use them on the G3 figure. Quite expensive though even with the 50% off, depends what you need.

    Blacksmith Pro also contains Texture Transformer; you will also need the appropriate plugins.

    Bear in mind, this doesn't convert, which is what was asked.

    Texture Transformer and Blacksmith Pro do convert.

    True, but considering my ongoing problems (despite your help) to get blacksmith3d to work and it's complexity, it's hard for me to recommend it to normal users.

    I've used Texture Transformer plus plugins. It works well and goes up to Genesis 3.

    Nice to see I'm not the only one with issues using Blacksmith. Despite all the help I received it never worked. I can't recommend it either.

    I was trying to use map tranfer i DS to move the maps over but wasn't really sure if I was doing it correctly.  Has anyone used map tranfer for this purpose?  This is a first try for  me.

    Map transfer will not work. It needs to have both UVs, ie G2F and G3F, on the same figure. You can use map transfer to go from V4 to G2F, if you own the V4 UVs product for G2F.

    Although the legacy UVs sort of provide G2 UVs on Genesis 3 and/or 8, this is by using geografts to cover the problem areas, and map transfer between them will not work.

    That totally makes sense as to why it wasn't working for me, but I thought it was worth a try
