G8 male to female morphs and vice versa?

Is there a way to use male morphs on female characters and vice versa with G8? The reason I ask is because I have Sasuke for  Sakura and would like to mix him with some male morphs.

Many  thanks

    In the case of Sasuke for Sakura, you must convert it into a new morph for G8M.

    It can be converted. There are different ways to do that, however you might not like the results depending on exactly what you want to do. Some cartoonish shapes may not convert well, and require additional work to manually tweak them in an external modeler like Blender.

    There are clone morphs for Genesis 2, 3, and 8 males in the parameters for G8F. It may be hidden, if it is, make sure "show hidden properties" is checked. They are full body shapes, though. But that might be all you need for what you want.

    The easiest thing might be finding a morph pack that has some male shapes for G8F. They do exist, and that would avoid needing to convert anything. There is a transgender morph pack that has some.

    Another option would be the male/female UV swap product, which would allow you to use a male skin on G8F, or female skin on G8M. So you could tackle this in a totally different way, using Sakura skin on a G8 male and using the male morphs to get what you want. There are feminine shapes for males, too. So you can do this from either direction.

    While morphs can be converted, it's worth pointing out that it may be a lot of effort all for nothing. Because of just how much Sakura's face (particularly the eyes) have been mucked around, there are few characters less likely to mix successfully with any other shape than she is.

    There is a thread "somewhere" in these forums showing how to transfer morphs between M/F G8.

    Hello Guys!

    Thanks for the info. I found the G8M morph for G8F and applied it at 100%. Then set the body morphs for both Sasuke and Sukura at 0%. Then I set the head morph for Sukura to 0% leaving just the Sasuke head morph at 100%. I also removed Sukura's eyebrows and eyelashes. Then I added the materials for Erik for G8M although I did this after putting him into the H-Suit so not sure how well that texture holds but kept Sasuke's eye textures. I Iooked through my content and I found I had already purchased the G8 uv-swap a while back so will play around with that later. Although I might have to tweak the eye size a bit. I have to say its so far turned out better than what I expected and wasn't as complicated than I thought it would be. 

    The image attached shows the modified Sasuke on the left and the original Sasuke on the right. In both cases it's the H-Suit for GM8. The pose is from Adama for G8M. Looking at the hands the fingers need to be tweaked a bit but I think with most poses and expressions that might be necessary. 

    Many thanks

    Yes, transferring morphs between genders is easy, but it can take a little bit of time on the first few tries. These two videos helped me a lot.

    These videos are aimed at converting between generations, but the process works the same between genders. I've use it to transfer G8F morphs to G8M. You may need a converter to use skins for one gender on the other, but transferring morphs is child's play.

    Hello Riftwitch

    Thank you for the video links. I've bookmarked both. The process looks a little fiddly but it also looks like it will be worth it. As regards the eyes, I have G8 Toon Genrations and Cartoonized so I may be able to work around the eys issue without having to export to something like Z Brush. Also if I convert Sasuke to G9 I could also work around the eyes using the G9 Anime shapes as I'm not too keen on the Anime shapes body shape - it doesn't have the Manga style shape that I'm looking for. 

     

    Many thanks
