Genesis evolution morphs bundle

Hi, everyone.

I recently bought the Genesis evolution morphs bundle, does anyone know if there's a way to use this controls with a Genesis 8 or 8.1 figure?

Thank you all!

Are you talking about this? https://www.daz3d.com/genesis-evolution-shapes-bundle It's only for the first unisex Genesis figure (generation 5), not G8. The G8 versions weren't bundled in this same way. They're included in some expensive Staff Picks bundles.

That's the one. What a shame. I was hoping to use it with later versions of Genesis.

You would have to buy the Head and Body Morphs for each figure, or just the ones you want to use. Personally, the ones for male and female are better than the original Genesis one, since they're designed specifically for men and women. Also, it's very difficult to convert morphs all the way up to G8. But those Head and Body Morphs for G8 come up a lot in sales, maybe you'll be able to get them eventually.

Generally speaking, you will want to make sure that what you buy is designed for the generation you want to work with.

This is especially true with morphs and expressions. The exception to this is some older clothing and G8. I buy G3 clothing for my G8s all the time and they are relatively easy to use, but you should know there will be extra steps needed (and with autofit I think you will lose some morphs and bones).  G2 clothing also usually works on G8. But shoes for older generations don't really work well with anyone they are not designed for. G2 shoes don't look good on G3s, and G3 shoes won't work well with G8, but sometimes you can fudge it. There are "clothing converters" in the store, but I have heard they are hit and miss at best. 

G3 morphs can sometimes be transferred to G8 with Xtransfer. I transferred most of my G3 characters and favorite G3 morphs this way. Morphs that rely on a lot of other morphs and projection morphs (like the morphs for smoothing clothes) won't transfer with that method though.
