converting skins between generations?

alan bard newcomer

I can't find the right key words to find some products I think I've seen at daz...
after creating a skin in skin builder 8 .. although it could just be any g8 skin is there a script  or plug etc.. anything that will refit the skins to other generations.. I've searched under skin, uv converter transfer etc.
pretty sure I've seen products to do this... may even have some but can't find the right term to search with. 
3du has a lot of plugins for there texture converter 2 still listed but I can't locate texture convert 2 --- although I'm guessing it's way old.
I do have all the skin builders and there was a recipe card system for sb pro for 1 and 2 that would let you move skins but will that work with 3 and 8? but i think 1&2 had the same uvs

Texture Converter is no longer maintained by 3DUniverse. They said that there was a utility they used that was consistently getting flagged as malware, and they didn't think it was worth completely rewriting the program to remove that.I don't know why Daz hasn't pulled the product plugins.

Beyond that, I'm not sure what you're asking. Do you want to refit textures from Skin Builder 8 to earlier generations? And if so, which generation? G3? G2?

If that's what you're asking, I'm not sure what would do that. Maybe Blacksmith3D's main suite, Blacksmith3D Pro version 7, available at Rendo. They also sell something called Texture Transformer, but that only goes one direction, from older generations to newer generations.

Oh, Cayman Studios makes a bunch of Legacy UV products that might do what you need.

Note that any texture you build in SB8 should, for the most part, work on Genesis 3. The exception would be the eyes and mouth/teeth -- the eye geometry changed, and something about the mouth UV changed as well.

thanks .. just realized I had an alternate version of a gen 8 I created with skin from skinbuilder and it's based on the little twins gen 2 and wondered if there was a way to transform back...

I wasn't asking for anything someone mentioned that there weren't any products for compatibility back in the day. The one I was thinking of wasn't by 3DUniverse...damn my memory.  And I don't believe it was Blacksmith but they were still doing it a few years back because they did a converter for Dawn and Dusk. Sad if it is no longer available.

I will probably considering picking up a legacy uv product if it's not too expensive as I don't own a lot of either genesis 3 or 8 it wouldn't be worth it to pay a lot.
