Is there a Michael 4 to Genesis 3 Male animation converter I could purchase or download for free?  If not, is there a way I could convert them to Genesis 3 Male without a script?

    You can convert the poses but I don't know if an animation can be converted.

    load the M4 animation on genesis 1

    save that as an animated pose and use it on genesis 3

    you will need to use the pose parameters on the hands and feet to fix upturned feet and bent hands

    don't use genesis 2

    genesis 1 poses are compatible with genesis 3 BTW except for the hand foot angle

    Often, M4 and G2 animations are the same. Try your M4 animation out on a G2 and see if it works. There is a G2 to G3 converter.

    yes to go between genesis 2 and 3 you need a paid converter

    genesis 2 poses and animations are pretty difficult to convert any other way

    Recently, I decided to figure this out. I lined up all the characters, and tried out the PoserMocap Aniblocks on them. I learned a lot.

    oh aniblocks from genesis 1 and M4 etc won't work

    poses not aniblocks 

    those need to be baked to the timeline first

    just please FFS take genesis 2 out of the picture entirely if looking to convert earlier stuff to genesis 3&8

    that is the figure that keeps tripping everyone up

    and aniblocks

    they are not keyframed animations to use stuff on other figures it needs to have actual keyframes and be saved to be moved up

    see this thread

    I haven't tried the converter yet, although I did watch the video. Yes, I think I saw something about converting to keyframes, no prob there. In my example, the same Aniblock worked for M4, G and G2. I am assuming this could be converted to G3. Not so?

    Ah yes! I read that thread this week too! I was wondering how that played vs. the Converter! I think you've saved me the time and trouble of finding out the long way. Thanks!

    EDIT

    .............................................

    Well, I got the G to G3 transfer to work today, and learned a couple of other things in the process. This is very useful, since many of the early Aniblocks have no recent equivalents. Much of the newer stuff is either combat or women walking.

    At the moment I'm using a dozen year old machine that is so decrepit it can't even render Texture Shaded. Maybe when the new machine is assembled I'll post a clip of this conversion.
