Would this work? Converting old morphs

I work with 3D scanned items a lot, I was using a gensis figure to repair a fragmented scan with R3dS and it hit me.... could I use R3dS to convert old victora morphs to gen 8 or 9?   It should be as easy as morphing the figure, exporting it, doing the alignment to the new mesh and re-import.

What am I missing, or should that actually work?

    Well, you can use R3DS wrap to make morphs in the way you describe sure. But there is a way easier way to transfer morphs to new generations.

    Just use a clone.

    favorite all the morphs you want to transfer. Align the genesis figures (e.g., a genesis clone shape for Victoria, or vice versa) such that the figures overlap completely

    Use Transfer Utility favorited morphs option to project the favorites morphs to Gen 9.

    You need to adjust rigging to shape for each morph though.  And then ERC link and save them. Maybe there is a way to do this as a batch processing, but not sure.

    Generation 4 is a "parametric figure", if you want to transfer morph targets in above-mentioned way.... you have to first of all convert a V4 to Weight Mapping (TriAx or General Weight...) otherwise Transfer Utility will not recognize V4.

    However, this method turns out to be cumbersome to convert a V4 character... especially for the body morph, as in most of cases, V4 character's body morph consists of multiple partial body morphs. You have to select or mark a lot of properties and finally you probably won't get a correctly-rigged G8/G9 by using this way... there'll be quite a few steps of fixing...

    I'm also a user of FaceForm Wrap, so if you have a well-prepared "template project file" for converting V4 to G8/G9, it should be the quickest way for you each time when you want to convert a V4 to G8 or G9, by create a single OBJ then split it to Head and Body morphs by using HeadSplit dFormer.

    Alternativly, you can use Fit Suit method from WP Guru (Jay)... how to make a suit and fit: https://www.versluis.com/2022/11/how-to-convert-genesis-8-characters-to-genesis-9-using-the-fit-suit-method/
