Gen 4 to Gen 6 (Genesis 2) Texture Convertor?

Bat22

An impressive software I discovered was 3D Universe's TextureConvertor2 that allowed me to turn Gen 3 textures to Gen 4, which in turn allowed me to apply the skins on Gen 6 figures.

However, I'm finding that tattoos for the Gen 6 figures are "warped" (probably by the UV setting) to fit a Gen 4 figure. So I'm curious if anyone's aware of texture convertor types to turn Gen 4 textures to Gen 6 presentation?

I'd try to convert the textures without tattow, then manually apply them afterwards.

If the tattoos look warped, that is probably down to an issue with the Gen 4 UV product you are using with Genesis 2.

If the tattoos look good on Genesis 1, then one option would be use Map Transfer (this is accessed by right click on the surfaces tab) to move the Gen 4 skin to another UV supported by both Genesis 1 and 2. A good option would be V5 for G2F and M5 if targetting G2M. These UVs are supported by Genesis 2. You can then load the re-mapped skin onto Genesis 2, change the UV to V5/M5 as needed, and see if the tattoo now looks less warped.

Depending on what you want to do, you may also need the add-on packs

You do NOT need the Update pack, however; that's only for people who purchased version 1.0

I don't know if those converters do what they advertise, since I use the V4 batch converter but still have a V4 UV set needed instead of Base Female (G2F) UV set for the still-V4 arranged texture.

They do exactly what they advertise, which is convert material presets for V4/M4 into presets for G2F/G2M. 
They don't convert textures, so yes, you still need the V4 or M4 UVs.

Thanks for clarifying.

And thanks, guys, for responding. I'm not ready to pay for the Texture Transformer just yet. Instead, I purchased V4 versions of the tattoo set and used GIMP to place them over the textures.
