Michael 4 and G8M compatibilities concerning cloth and poses

Setting: For a friend's WWII Diorama I need some dead soldiers (to 3D print them later). I found russian uniforms for Poser and Michael 4. I found poses for G8M. So I get Michael 4 into the uniform and it fits. I try to run the G8M pose on Michael 4 but it fails (distorted), of course. I try to fit the uniforms to G8M and it fits barely, I set the "import" from G2M, G, G3M original but with no satisfying result. G2M / Full dress works best, however.

So I looked for a transfer utility M4 (with cloth) to G8 (for the correct pose) but found only G2 to G8, not for older ones.

Is there a possibility like lock the pose of G8M, export it and set it to M4 with the fitting uniform? The M4 rig seems very similar to G8M but somehow...

G8M: I tried to unfit the uniform and manually edit it in place, but once unfit it jumps to it's zero position, I edit it, I fit and it's the same like before.While I can hide the legs, body and everything hidden by cloth the hands are the problem as they stick out (the left one) completely displaced.

M4: The only solution that comes to my mind is to manually edit M4 to the G8M pose.

Are there other solutions than that?

  • Manually pose the uniform to match the Genesis 8 male zero pose. Hide the figure (including its lashes), and if the uniform is in separate parts hide all bar one of those. Export as OBJ. Repeat for additional parts of the uniform if needed. Now import thsoe OBJs (using the same preset in the options dialogue) and you shoudl be able to use the Transfer Utility.
