[Released] Character Converter from Genesis 2 Female to Genesis 8 Female [Commercial]

RiverSoft ArtRiverSoft Art Posts: 6,569

Convert your favorite Genesis 2 Female characters to Genesis 8 Female characters!

The Character Converter from Genesis 2 Female to Genesis 8 Female transfers the morphs from beloved Genesis 2 characters to the latest generation, Genesis 8. Featuring a new conversion process developed specifically for this product, the Character Converter scripts provide easy batch execution for automatically converting your Genesis 2 Female Character to a Genesis 8 Female Character in your library. Even better, icons and categories are copied from your original Genesis 2 Character to the new Genesis 8 Character.   You can also automatically apply Genesis 8 materials to your converted character as part of the conversion process.

The new Character Converter script is extremely simple to use. Just select the characters to convert and click execute! There is also a Convert Custom Character script which will copy a Genesis 2 Female character in the scene, with all currently used morphs, to a Genesis 8 Female character (no character preset is created and no materials are copied).

Tutorial for Character Converter Products

Please see the product ReadMe for full details.

What's Included and Features

  • Character Converter from Genesis 2 Female to Genesis 8 Female:
    • Character Converter Script (.DSE)
    • Convert Custom Character Script (.DSE)
    • Detailed User Guide (.PDF)

* The Character Converter script cannot properly convert all Genesis 2 characters, especially as Genesis 2 characters have a higher polygon count.  Characters with extreme morphs may have problems, especially around the eyes.  HD resolution characters are converted to base resolution characters.  Bulge maps, the Genesis 2 equivalent to corrective morphs (i.e., JCMs/MCMs), are not converted.  Multi-part characters (e.g., a character that loads a figure and separate horns) cannot be converted. Material presets are also not converted. Default materials copied to your new Genesis 8 characters may have ugly seams and/or misaligned features due to the different UV layout. Items without metadata can be converted but will not show up in Smart Content. They may also need to be converted using a Force Convert Item(s) button.

    I'm looking forward to this one.

    I suppose once you have this one ironed out, it helps the progression to Genesis & V4 to G8F converter scripts?

    Um, I hope?  I was surprised how hard the jump from G3 to G2 was.

    Very nice to see this.  G2 to G3 is still covered by GenX 2, which does it extremely well, but a direct path to G8 has got to be better than double converting G2>G3>G8.

    It should be much better than double-converting.  I will be interested in your results.

  • I take it it is fairly straightforward to convert one character at a time rather than a batch?

    I prefer to deal with one project (character) at a time & tweak, rather than be buried under a volume of content to prioritise & go through. :)

    Yes, if you have ever used one of the character converters, you would add the characters, select ONLY the one you want to convert, and click the Convert Item(s) button.

    I had missed that this was in your pipeline and there it was today! I can finally convert my favorite character in Daz by gypsyangel, https://www.daz3d.com/destiny-for-olympia-6 to G8F and utilize all the improvements that are available today for her. 

    You are so kind to us.

    Thank you RiverSoftArt.

    UGH, your killing me.  I just got G3F to G8F on Sunday.  My best characters are G2.  Now I have to get this.  Maybe not today, but I have to get this.

    I'm quite happy, seeing how many people turn out to have a Genesis 2 character as their favourite. That would suggest there's more people who like the more stylized "non-realistic" figures than some recurring posts on these forums would make us believe. (Given the popularity of Mousso and FWSA figures for G8, that was already obvious, just never really spoken out loud)

  • Could someone post a conversion pic of Olympia 6 please?

  • HylasHylas Posts: 4,975

    Oh, awesome! Looks like this one can handle more extreme morphs as we, which is great!

    Japanese M. Bison or American M. Bison?

    My favorite men and women models are all G2, no contest.

  • I do like this a lot, but V4-G8F is the one I am really looking for. ;)

  • KharmaKharma Posts: 3,214

    Could someone who has tried this converter post a converted PA character?  All characters in the promo images seemm to be Daz original core figures, I would like to see how some others are handled by the converter.  Thanks if you can ...

    Will there be a male counterpart to this? Going from G2 Male to G8 Male? And, if so, will this work if the G2 Male was brought in using the conveters that allow M4 to Genesis 1, and Genesis 1 to Genesis 2? That is, will it work without messing up the morphs and distorting the resulting G8 Male figure? Just wondering if something like this is planned.
