Is there any way to transfer the shape of an existing gen8/8.1 char to gen 9 or is just create a new character?

    You mean like this? ;) The eyes present a problem. I followed a free tute in the freebies section on how to get the shape over but I really have no idea how to make the eyes follow the new shape morph OR how to scale and move them and still have them work. I managed to get it working, but I have no idea what I did. LOL It's hard to know how to go about things since the base figure has a right and left eye and yet there are eyes that are conformers. Confusing for a novice in this kind of thing like me ;)

    Sure and it's not even complicated. Jay Versluis did a very easy to follow tutorial:

    Jay's tutorial is great but I am kind of disappointed about how complicated it is. Thought is is like a single dual process...

    Thanks, but it's not my character, but standard def Christian for G8M. He just looks really young with no HD wrinkles and Mike 8.1 skin. LOL

    As far as making the eyes work, it will entail making morphs for the G9 Eyes after they've been moved and scaled, but I still don't know how to slave them to the main character controller. Also, when I adjust the rigging to shape, it made the eyeballs move the opposite way to the rest of the controllers on the face and I've no idea how to fix. LOL (for instance when I have the eyes look down, the lids do, but the eyeballs look up. Go figure. LMAO

    The lighting is the BOSS lighting set by The Philosopher and the background is one I made. I'm not sure if it's still on ShareCG or not. The BOSS lighting set has a great background in it. I just used this one because it was already loaded. LOL
