A question about G9 hair

Hello,

As we can see from some recent projects, hair items that have been made for G8 can be made to fit on G9. My question is the reverse. There are some very nice hair items showing up for G9 now, and I was wondering how well they can be made to fit G8 by parenting them and using the various parameters ( scale translation etc) and any included morphs? I would be interested to hear from anyone who may have tried this.

Thanks in advance for any replies.

    Morning!
    It's quite easy to parent the hairs from Genesis 9 to Genesis 8. I have attached an example of the OOT Soft Curls Long Hair below along with the dial settings I used. Longer hairs work better if there are pose bones and/or lots of movement morphs. For more extreme posing I would suggest shorter hairs or updo's.
    Hope this helps!

    I have encountered an issue with using G8 strand-based hairs on G9/V9:

    https://www.daz3d.com/forums/discussion/599686/g9-v9-g8-strand-based-hair-save-load-issue#latest

    At first I beleved that this was a hair-compatibility problem, but the hairs are autofitting and simulating properly.  Now I believe that it is a save/scene- restore/scene problem in DS.  I hope that DAZ corrects this.

    I will try elliandra's parenting suggestion, but I will parent the G8 hair to G9/V9.  Maybe that will load and save properly.

    Elliandra's parenting solution does not work - You still have the save/restore problem.  Daz keeps insisting that this is a compatibility problem and wiil not be addressed.  I have requested a refund on V9.

    The issue with dForce/SBH hairs is likely that they are dependent on surfaces, and those differ between G8 and G9. I'm more surprised that they initially work for you than that they fail after saving.

    I have seen the save/restore scene issue you mention when dForce hair is autofitted to G9.

    I don't see any issues with saving and restoring scenes when the hair is fitted as @Elliandra suggests (i.e. without using auto-fit).

    Thanks to Eliandra and everyone else for the replies. I am hoping that Elliandra's solution will work going forward as I have a lot of G8 resources and I am sure that there will be future hair products based off G9 that I would like to use with them.

    I autofitted, un-fitted, then parented.  I will give it another try without autofit.  Thanks for you input, Galien!!
