My hopes for a G8 Skeleton are gone ...

vonHobo

I was hoping and praying for a new Genesis 8 skeleton figure. But now that G9 is out and I'm not moving to G9, I've given up.

There is a Midnight Skeleton for G8, but it's just too weird looking. I just wanted something realistic.

I did purchase the M4 Skeleton a couple years ago. And although it's nice and anatomically correct, it's too difficult to work with, and has no G3 or G8 pose support. Sigh.

Is there any way to get the M4 skeleton to work with G8 poses?

As the sceleton seems to be Michael 4, you could try

https://www.daz3d.com/bone-minion-for-genesis-8-and-81-poses-for-generation-4

I used g8 poses on g2 that way and it works ok and easy (no expressions!). But i don't own the minion for M4 or the sceleton, so i can't try it for you. Maybe somebody else can.

You could also give 

https://www.sharecg.com/v/89846/browse/8/Script/Daz3d-Pose-Converter-Standalone

a try: it is free and g1 is very similar to v4 (ie convert g8 to g1)  But  never tried it...

Thank you. I've tried this script but it did not convert properly. It converts G2, G3, to G8 just fine, but not V4 or M4.

That's what I get when I skim the OP.

Thanks! I have the G8 Male version of this same skeleton from Renderosity.

It is what I have been using most of the time, but the fingers are too thin and something is just not right about it.

Nothing beats the realistic proportions and textures of the DAZ M4 Skeleton. Just wish they would update that one to G8.

There is one at TurboSquid it's 44 dollars USA they will convert it to DAZ 3d model skeleton rigged (turbosquid.com)

If you already have the M4/V4 skeleton, look here, you might find enough info to save some money. https://www.daz3d.com/forums/discussion/comment/7983686/#Comment_7983686. Regards, Richard.

Thank you!

Just need to address one further question you asked. A G8M to M4 pose converter or pose transfer script will pose the M4 skeleton correctly with a G8M pose. Regards, Richard

If poses are the issue, Genesis 1 poses also work on the old M4 skeleton. So instead of trying to convert poses to M4, try to converting poses to G1 using the free converter script from sharecg.

I just tried this to test it out. I converted G8M to G1, it did several thousand poses in about a minute or two. They work fine on the skeleton. The feet do not line up perfectly, but that is reasonable and easy enough to deal with. The other, uh, bones all seemed to line up pretty close to the intended pose, as you can see in my pics below.
