Thanks for the response! I'll keep trying the character product. the others seem very cool. The materials/textures seem to transfer well but I tried everything to get the character transfer working. I'll try it on some other characters... just seems like I'm doing something wrong here. Like others, I found that the morphs which cause the problems are the characters main morph. Maybe your product isn't meant for the custom bought characters with a single morph? I'm not sure. I never tried like standard G8 male or female to see if that works. I'll do that now.

Are you selecting Zero when the Zero Figure Shape dialog comes up? This converter works best when you are converting the characters that are 1-2 morphs like Daz Characters such as Ollie, Dain, etc so you shouldn't be having any problem.
I apologize if this was brought up elsewhere in the thread, but I thought I was having an issue with one of my G8F morphs not carrying over correctly using the converter. Nearly all the morphs worked fine except I kept ending up with some funky-looking feet with snarled toes. So I did the conversion manually and then used the Material Suite to overlay the G8F materials onto a dev-load G9 that has the G8F morphs auto-transferred. Interestingly enough, after some experimentation, it looks like just the act of adding the Material Suite to G9 morphs the character's feet to G8 (seems to happen with G8.1 too), while leaving the rest of it vanilla G9. I added some screenshots illustrate what I'm talking about. The first is just plain G9, the second is G9 with G8F Material Suite added, and you can see if you look closely that the foot has morphed to a G8F. Is that intentional? It doesn't happen if I don't carry over the additional foot morphs from my G8F, so I'm assuming my snarled-toe bigfoot models are the result of somehow doubling up on regular G8F foot morphs due to the additional morphs I'm trying to convert along with it (if that makes any sense).

No, I've been clicking "restore".
I now ran the script on The Brute 8 and clicked "zero" instead, and the conversion worked! In fact, the result is better than the ManFriday product.
So, I guess that was the problem... I should have been clicking "zero" all this time.
Thanks for your help! TBH I was on the brink of returning the product but I'm glad I waited it out.
I wonder if you can't script your way around the zero/restore prompt.
(BTW, now that I know the conversion works so well, I'd be in the market for a G9 -> G8 convertor )
Yay! I really disliked when Daz added that prompt. They should detect when a SCRIPT is calling Zero Figure Shape and that it knows what it is doing.
I am scripting around it. Unfortunately, it is caught up in my work to script around another support issue which is taking much longer than I hoped.
