Hiro 5 for Genesis 8

solalitalita

Hey there,

I am doing an Anime style animation and I really like the look for Hiro 5. Is there a way to convert Hiro 5 to Genesis 8? I tried to look in the shop but only found character conversion from genesis 2 to genesis 8.

Best,

Leana

One option would be to use GenX2 and its add-ons to convert H5 from Genesis to G2M or G3M, and then one of the character converters to go from G2M or G3M to G8M.

You'll probably need something for the textures too. I'm not sure which UVs Hiro 5 uses...

Hiro 5 uses Hiro 5 UV. Original flavor Genesis was done back when Daz had every character and its derivatives on individual UVs -- all Michael 5 characters were on Michael 5 UV, Victoria 5 on V5 UV, Stephanie 5 on S5 UV, etc.

There isn't a very simple way to move H5 textures to G3/G8 Base Male, I'm afraid. First, you MUST have Hiro 5 himself, or the UV won't be present to work with.

The least complicated way, you need to put Genesis into the scene, apply the appropriate Hiro 5 textures, then use Map transfer to move the textures to Michael 5 UV, put the Map Transferred textures back onto Genesis with the Michael 5 UV active, save that as a materials preset, and then use this https://www.daz3d.com/legacy-uvs-for-genesis-8-genesis-2-male-michael-5-and-michael-6 to get the textures onto G8M.

I would think you can just use this process:  https://www.deviantart.com/sickleyield/journal/Tutorial-Transferring-Character-Morphs-G1G2G3G8-409437916

G8M has a Clone for Genesis, which is what Hiro5 is based on.  You may need to do the ARMS thing though, that is called out going from G3 to G8.

...oh and you can use most any rubber or similar material preset to get a good toon skin like Hiro has, I think.  Eyebrows may be the sticking point, but if you get that far and ask for help, i am sure someone can assist.
