I have the 'Millennium Woman' Victoria 1 and Diamonds I like to know how to use all of the Diamonds product on V-4 and Genesis characters

and I like to take apart the Diamond Dancer file and use it's parts and single pieces like the the diamond belt and arm bands too '

If this can be done how do I do this I have Hexagon 2 and Bryce 7.1 Free ver.

    There isn't a way to convert automatically using the tools you have - Wardrobe Wizard or Cross Dresser could probably do it with the appropriate templates for the source and destination figures (up to the fourth generation) but the result would not be pretty as you would lose the precise shapes of the elements. Using hexagon to patiently move the bits piece by piece to fit the desired figure, then rigging that from scratch, would probably be your best bet.

    I thought the diamond dancer was for V3?

    I'm surprised -people did try it ages ago, and it was held up as an example of something that would not take conversion. If it does that's great.

    I tried the VCFS too and a few other V2 outfits, you need to add a smoothing modifier and hide feet but they all worked.

    Rerigging to an older figure can be trickier, as they don't support weight maps and so you can't simply project the map into the figure. Breaking the outfit into parts is fairly simple - either lasso select a section in Hexagon, copy, and paste to a new mesh or even hide the unwanted parts by clicking their eye icons in DS and export as OBJ with ignore invisible checked (which it is by default) and several of the sections could be used as props like that - the only bits that would pretty much have to be rerigged would be the pants and possibly the necklace.

    I tried to answer the breaking apart question in the previous post - you'd need to do a bit of scaling and possible rotating or translating to get the pieces to line up correctly with V4.
