GEN 8 shape to 8.1

Moogoo

Is there any way to paste my gen 8 character shape to a gen 8.1 character? also is there some covertion tool to match skin from 8 to 8.1?

If you are using DS 4.15, you can apply the character morphs and skins from G8 to G8.1 just by clicking at them.

I have a custom shape and just wanted to paste it but is not allowing it I will try the skin tho thanks

If you save the shape as a shape preset, you can load that to the G8.1

If it's an imported (thorugh Morph Loader) morph, or spawned from dForms, then you will need to safe it as a Morph Asset (File>Save As>Support Asets>Morph Asset) to make it available to other loads of the base figure, whether 8 or 8.1.

Thanks guys saving as a shape worked a treat, now I just have to figure out what is different about the surfaces lol

Nothing* is different (if you don't want to make them) as G8.1 by default can and will use G8 UV's if you load G8 skins on him/her.

* Eyelashes are different, but you can use G8 eyelashes also.

8.1 has a different UV layout, but it also has the G8 ones as well. Just save the skin you have already as a material preset and then load it on G8.1, no problem.

Damn either I have gotten brilliant at daz or the 8.1 Victoria skin is amazing, I am shocked at how good it is, I have always viewed Victoria as generic and average but this skin is just so good. The promo images really do not do it justice, for essentially a test shot with a simple light slapped in the scene this is making me wonder why i waited so long to try 8.1.

Little question: when I save a Morph Asset, where exactly does Daz save it in my Content Library?

Thank you!

Thank you! 

It goes in the Data folder folder for the figure, in the morphs sub folder then folders set by the Author and product names you enter in the options dialogue - e.g. /data/daz 3d/Genesis 8/Female/Morphs/Author/Product/
