I have a custom V4 character that I want to transfer to Genesis (one) but can't figure out how to do this. It's easy when using a premade preset but I can't figure this one out. I even tried to create a CR2 but ran into a bunch of stuff in the window I didn't know what to do with. Could someone please walk me through this or at least point me to a vid or something else that will help? Thanks!

    I'm mobile on vacation right now, and have only done this with Genx2 from V4 to G2F, so I'm citing this from memory, but I believe Genx has an option to select the figure in your scene to transfer morphs.
    Load your custom character into a new scene. Open Genx.
    Choose V4 as source and Genesis as target.
    Make sure your character is highlighted in the scene tab.
    Then in the 'select' box there's an option to get the morphs from the figure in the scene.
    After you selected that, choose transfer all non-zero from the same 'select' box
    Click transfer and you should be good to go
    Hope this works for you

    It would have been wonderful if it was that easy, but it's not. When I did that, it wants a Legacy Poser figure. In other words, a .cr2 file. I do have Poser and this character was originally a .cr2 but that was a long time ago. She has since been saved as a .duf file. This is the issue. I can't save her as a .cr2 because when I do, the .cr2 export window asks for information that I don't know what to do with.

    Ah okay apologies I have no experience with Poser.
    Hope someone else has an answer.

    I can't believe no one is offering any help here. Is it because of the holiday? Custom V4 - duf transfer from GenX to Genesis. Anyone?

    Save a character preset (Save As / Deprecated / Character Preset). Clear scene then load V4 cr2 from Poser Formats of Content Library and apply preset ( will probably need to inject necessary morphs first). Follow instruction on getting morphs from selected figure.

    The problem I was having is that the character I was using would not save as a depreciated character. She had been weight mapped. That turns her into something different. Luckily I dug around and found an older version of her that I could save as a depreciated character. If I had not have found that older version of her, i would not have been able to do it. GenX transferred the character. Unfortunately, it did not do a very good job. I ended up manually adjusting and eyeballing the face to get it as close as possible. I had to tweak the texture too because applying it to Genesis (yes, the UV was set to V4), stretched out the eyebrows and made them look very different. Had to go into PS and edit them. She is at least useable now in other programs. Thank you jestmart and Redz for giving your input!!!
