Applying Hercules shape/materials to g3female?

Just bought the Hercules model, very impressed. Those familiar with my work will understand I IMMEDIATELY tried to apply the Hercules materials and shape to a G3female, (I still miss the She-Freak!), and naturally, nothing came of it. So, IS there a way to apply the Hercules shape to a G3Female?

The easiest way to transfer morphs is with GenX2. This product has 2 required other packages.

The other way is quite messy. You have to save the rename the morphs for Hercules to end in .zip and then unzip them to uncompress them. Then with a text editor you change all instances of "male" to "female." I used to do it before GenX2 came out so I don't remember all the little nit picky details. Also, if you are interested in the HD shape, that won't transfer at all with either GenX2 or the brute force method. So this would only work for Hercules SD morph.
I thought about buying Hercules but I have one question if you could please answer. Does the head have a separate morph from the body? Is there both a full Hercules morph and a "Hercules Head" and "Hercules Body" morph? SimonWM's previous characters called "Swole" had this. It made it so you could have different face shapes on the bodybuilder.
So if the head morph isn't seperate, then you probably wouldn't want to port it over to G3F anyway. You would just end up with a G3F who has both Hercules' body and face.
Otherwise, try this Massive morph for G3F:

No, sadly, there is no separate head morph. And I have a complaint: the anatomical elements of Hercules will not match his skin, no matter what you do. They keep coming out marble white.
Anyway, thank you for taking the time to answer, nobody else would.
Hercules has some frustrating bugs. I submitted a report for the elements. It has to do with the way they made the hair and scalp I think. When you use those with Hercules it makes the elements white. You should be able to not use those items together and it may work at least with default skin.
His morph also alters the pose of the nipples on men for some of my characters.
His shape should gen x over to Genesis 3 female. Not sure if the problems will as well. I haven't figured out what is causing the chest nipple area problems.
Oh, you can fix the issue with the genitals being white if you go to the offending item such as the beard or the hair, and turn the geoshell on the gens to zero cutout opacity.
Hmmm-- and where do I find the geoshell?
If you have the beard or hair installed on the character you have to be in surface edit mode and expand the surface of both hair and beard to show everything the item covers which is the whole body and everything grafted on like gens. In there you will see the hair and beard have anatomical elements. Change cutout opacity on those to zero to not cover gens.
it is the first time I've seen a hair or beard made this way so I didn't catch on to what was happening.
Here is a screenshot. You will see when applying the beard while character has gens, that the shell covers that area and has a cutout opacity when you have an iray texture applied. You must dial that to zero for the anatomical elements to not be white.
There should definitely be a separate head and body morph for Hercules (at least, there is for me).
Edit: Just for the heck of it, I transfered the body morph to G3F with GenX. As you can see, without the HD aspects of the morph, the results aren't as good as they are for the original.
