[Released] Character Converter from Genesis 8 Male to Genesis 3 Male [Commercial]
Convert your favorite Genesis 8 Male characters to Genesis 3 Male characters! The Character Converter from Genesis 8 Male to Genesis 3 Male transfers the morphs, including JCMs, from the awesome Genesis 8 characters to Genesis 3. The Character Converter scripts provide easy batch execution for automatically converting your Genesis 8 Male Character to a Genesis 3 Male Character in your library. Even better, icons, categories, and the default materials are copied from your original Genesis 8 Male to the new Genesis 3 Male.
The Character Converter scripts outputs are also a merchant resource! If you own the original Genesis 8 morphs, you retain the rights to the converted Genesis 3 morphs to do as you wish.
The 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 8 Female character in the scene, with all currently used morphs and corrective morphs, to a Genesis 3 Female character (no character preset is created and no materials are copied).

And it is released!
Nice, wish you many sales of the converter.
I am still waiting on the converter from V4/M4 -> Genesis 8, though.
Thanks @Artini! I hope a V4/M4->G8 converter will happen.
And purchased! I love it when everyone does their part.

LOL. Me too!
Hiya - RiverSoftArt - Thanks for all the great products you produce - I have used many and find them really useful to the projects I'm working on.
One quick question - when I convert a character from G8 -> G3, the character comes over great, but I don't get the morph dials and controllers in the shaping tab for the morphs that were transferred over so they are not added into the 'gene pool' for easy combination of existing G3 characters.
Troubleshooting so far:
Is there something that needs to be done to make them available?
Again thanks for the great work you do in these products.
You're welcome! If the characters are converting over, then the morphs are there to see. I would love in a character and then filter on the used properties. They will show up.
Hi and thanks for the quick response. Here is a screenshot. When I filter on the currently used morphs under Shaping nothing shows up. Then what's strange is if I search for Sanjay morphs the Head and Body regions highlight but the morphs do not show up. And insight you have on this is deeply appreciated.
Looking at the figure, the Sanjay CTRL is not on. It looks like the script had a hard time finding the CTRL file to fix it, which means setting CTRL to 1 was not done in the character preset. I would select top-level Sanjay and filter there. Also, check your data/DAZ 3D/Genesis 3/Male/Morph and search for sanjay to make sure the FHM, FBM, and CTRL are there.
Hi! I just bought this on Flash sale (along with its vice versa brother), and I'm wondering if I can convert single morphs (or entire morph kits) as well as characters. What say you?
Yes, you can. You would need to use the Custom Scene Character script. Load in a figure, dial in the morphs you want to convert (they don't need to be 100%, just greater than 0), and convert.
Thanks so much, and keep up the great work! I certainly wouldn't mind some more modern Now-Crowds, for instance, City Winter and At the Park.
There are more Now-Crowds coming up in the next month or 2, including modern ones (but not the ones you listed yet)
Hi RiverSoftArts, I followed the pdf instructions explicitly, but I got an Error Reading File three times in a row (I closed Studio, and started over each time). I was only converting one morph. I used the Custom Character script. Any guidance is appreciated. Here's the log file:

Are you using an old version of DS? The SetDistanceSquaredTolerance function was added in 4.10.0.50.
Aaah! Thanks. I've been delaying my upgrade, but the time has truly come. Thanks for bothering with this, and sorry for wasting your time.
No, not at all. Sorry for pushing you to upgrade
Upgraded (after some hiccups of the installer not being able to find the file?) and the morph conversion worked EXACTLY as the PDF led me to expect. Thanks for another great product! Now to use your G3toG8 product to get the Genesis 3 Core guys and Slosh's Genesis 2 Legacy into G8M. I'm more of a gardener than anything.
Awesome! I am glad it is working now for you.
I have submitted an update. Hopefully it will be out this week but more likely early next week:
Hi Riversoft and community.
I cannot load the script...had installed it through DAZ Central (several times to see if it was a Mercury Retrograde issue ) but the error continues to appear. Here it is the screenshots https://share.getcloudapp.com/JrugxGZY
Also the pdf file is corrupted ...
Any suggestions?

Lots of sunshine.
Thanks in advance.
It's definitely not installed properly. The icons do not even show up. Do the files even exist in that location?
Hi Riversoft... uninstalled and reinstalled them and still doesn't work... is it fixable, please?
I am sure it is fixable. Unfortunately, it is hard to debug installation problems, especially remotely. What does the Daz log say now? Did you try uninstalling, verify NO files are left in the Daz Connect area, and reinstalling using DIM?
