Hi!

I saw there's a product for G8F to G3F: https://www.daz3d.com/character-converter-from-genesis-8-female-to-genesis-3-female

Is there a G8F to G2F I've missed?

 

Thanks <3.

    Nope, there's no such a converter sof far. And I don't think it's really necessary to convert a G8 to G2. What's the purpose of that？

    Its maybe not for everyone or  daily case , but not every clothes convert well except the PA releasing updated version for Next Gen Figures . 

    Converting old (fantasy)complex clothes also have tendency to makes the viewport struggle, because sometimes its also have Smooth and collision modifier built in top of all converters

    Another case will be Big resources in most Hairs and Clothing stuff for G8 Family, meanwhile there are plenty old stuffs (which slighty identical)  working well with low spec machines . Most G8 family character seems better in term of diversity so its natural if someone wanna use those figures but using it with older gen wardrobes and hairs

    Like someone said , Having Bigger Poly count doesnt always meant better products .

    Yeah, understood the cases you mentioned. I myself also used a lot V4/G2/G3 clothing and hair on G8 but mostly depends on that automatic conforming dialogue. I ever tried V4 to G8F clothing converter but the results were not as good as the previous method.

    As @juvesatriani said I suspect the main reason is for resource management. This is especially true for animators who will probably be assembling larger scenes.

    As an animator then there is another reason - ease of mocap capture.

    Sure facial capture for G3 and G8 is well covered with a few products to choose from, but body mocap - that can take time.

    This is why I'm experimenting with Deepmotion. It's a paid service which creates a smooth mocap directly to G2. They give instructions on how to convert to G3 and G8 animations, but this takes time.

    Now for non speaking and / or background parts - I'd love to use a lower resource version of my G8 characters as G2s. Now I just use Deepmotion and the body movements are good to go with minimal effort.

    Animating is all about speed as life is too short to lone animate - so this would be a BIG help - if anyone got around to making it. Otherwise I can use scene reduction plugins, and create lower spec G8 versions of my characters, but then the mocap has to be converted.

    This might help you if you are just trying to lift Genesis 8 morphs to Genesis 2.

     

     

    I usually, the morphs I want from G8 to G3 and then to G2 using this method.

     

    I also use G2 and G3 because I think it's a pretty balanced middle-model that can use the best assets from V4 to G8.
