G2F (and why not M too) content to G3(F/M)?

Hello dazed ppl!
Is there any converter/ gizmo / magic box existing or under development, which would allow G2 or older V4 content to fit to G3 smoothly(or pseudo smoothly)?

If such gadget is under development, I wouldn't mind it could also handle the reverse conversion.
I've noticed problems when tried to fit older content to G3F.

I'm sure many ppl have tons of older content which they would love to fit to G3.
Am I just ignorant for obvious solution or is this question reasonable?

    G3F already has an autofit clone for G2F clothes, which apparently works rather well with V4 clothes too.
    Other clones might be under development, or you can create some yourself, there are tutorials on how to do that in the forums. And I wouldn't be surprised if a G3F to G2F clone was released too.

    For morphs there's also a tutorial on how to transfer them manually, and Dimension 3D will most probably have a new version or add-on of GenX2 to do it automatically (they might wait till G3M is released so they can support both at once though).

    Textures are a different problem as the mapping and material zones are very different in G3F, so just providing UVs wouldn't work. A tool to convert the textures might be released at some point thoug.

    There is a pose converter also.

    The only thing that doesn't convert well are shoes.
    (seriously, if someone would create a tool that cleanly transfers functioning shoes from one generation to the next, it would be instant buy from me. :-)

    The problem is the shoes, themselves...

    Shoemakers seem to be a group that regularly breaks the rule about modeling around a zeroed base figure. They almost always model the shoe to a posed figure, that isn't the same as the zeroed pose. So that makes an automated conversion process very difficult.

    SickleYield has a tutorial on doing a shoe conversion with better results...but it's not a fully automated process. This is for G2F, but works the same for G3F...
