G8 and G9, what incompatibilities ?

Willy2

Daz could have indicated the incompatibilities between G8 and G9.
Now, we know that the G8 poses aren't compatible with G9.

 

• Are the skins compatible and if not what is the difference ?
• Will we be able to transfer G8 heads to G9 with a tool one day?
• Will we be able one day to have a converter of pose, if yes, towards which date ?

I haven't tried Genesis 9 Starter Essentials yet, because I prefer to wait until I know more about this new version.
Also, it will probably take several months to get G9 characters in the store.
Let's hope G9 lasts as long as G8 though, because using these new versions wastes a lot of time.
For now, I'm going to read the user posts.
Thanks to everyone who will talk about their problems with the G9.

No, because the UV is different.

Probably

Jay Versluis, during the video that introduced V9/G9 to the public, used a G8 to G9 pose converter, so I would imagine it will be released soon.

Moved to Technical help as it is not a Daz Studio topic and closed as all this is discussed in the main Genesis 9 thread at the top of the Commons and elsewhere.
