Any packs that directly convert Genesis poses to G3F?

I don't want to go from Genesis to G2F, then from there to G3F. I just want to convert straight from Genesis to G3F. Is there such a pack? It's so confusing to look at them in the store it's hard to tell what's what for me. I have one, but it just converts G2F to G3F and that's it.
Thanks.

I discovered by accident that the Draagonstorm/Zev0 pose converter can do this, although it's not designed for that and it takes maybe a bit more tinkering after conversion.
The structural changes between Genesis and Genesis 2 were relatively small, compared to Genesis 2 to Genesis 3, so that pose converter can work fairly well. It can go a little wrong in the abdomen/chest area -- the abdominal area of both figures has two bones, but they have different names, and the chest of G2 has two bones compared to only one in Genesis. Hands frequently go very wrong, because of different structure there, but if you have hands pose presets for G3, you can just zero out the hands and then pose those separately.
The trickier bit is that the Genesis poses have to be DUF or the converter can't even see them, and a lot of earlier Genesis poses were DSA or DSB files.
This set of scripts can be really useful.
Ooooh. Now that's exciting!
There was an artist who did a TON of free M4 poses at Rendo for many, many different situations, and I used their combat poses a lot for V4 back in the day because they were so solid and natural. I wish I could remember the name, I have to find them again! I'll post if I do.
It was Structure! Their poses are not up on Renderosity any more but they can be found on ShareCG as jlk! Lots of goodies to play with the script. :) I'd forgotten but they did a lot of great V4 poses too!
EDIT: Well, that was a bummer.
The pose fixing script can't fix a pose between figures that have different bones directly, and it works on one pose at a time. So to convert one V4 pose to Genesis 3 Female, you must:
1. Load V4.
2. Load G3.
3. Apply the pose to V4.
4. Apply the script to V4. It converts the pose to G3.
5. Save back to library from G3.
So it works, if you have a single pose you really really want to use, but if you were hoping to vastly expand your library this is going to prove disappointing. Boy, I bet a lot of us would pay for a batch version of something like this!
The good news is that if you want to convert from G1 to G3, you can use the "FixPoseGenerator" it comes with to create that script (subject to the above limitations).
Only one I own is this: http://www.daz3d.com/v4-pose-converter-for-genesis-and-genesis-2-female-s
Not sure it will work since it's designed to convert V4 poses. I have so many V4 pose packs from over the years I thought that was the best one to get at the time. But since G3F came out, I want one to use with her now but hate to have to do multiple steps.
Thanks for the suggestions, much appreciated.
I have only had success in converting poses to gen 2 and then converting it to gen 3.
I use V4 Pose Converter for Genesis 1 & Genesis 2 Female for v4/m4 and then use Genesis 2 Female to Genesis 3 Female Pose Converter to take characters to Genesis 3.
Unfortunately the G2 to G3 one isn't on sale right now, so that's a bummer.
Edited. I read wrong lol.
Honestly, I just did a pose conversion from V4 to G2F then G2F to G3F and I think the whole process for that particular set was less than 3 or 4 minutes including putting them in my custom categories. The pose convertors are definitely a must have if you have a lot of early poses. I pick up free poses for V4 and M4 (and some paid ones as well since I know I can take that $2 or $3 pose pack and use it across all generations) all the time. I was slow to pick up the converters but now I wonder how I ever did without lol. Hopefully they will go on sale for you soon
The G2F to G3F converter is very fast. IME, very little time especially compared to the V4 to G2F conversion. No complaints about the V4 to G2F, mind you, it's doing a lot.
...most of the oddities I ran into between Genesis and G2 were in the extremities (hands and feet) These as usually easily correctable. I often use the "Zero (L/R) Hand" pose from Handy for Genesis to reset the hand so I can pose them manually (I haven't' seen a hand posing utility for G3 yet other than the generic ones included with the figure).
Yeah the Pose Converter is on the wishlist and going to pick up those scripts as well.
Yeah, I have the G2 to G3 wishlisted, just waiting for the 'right time'.
Necro-post, but in case anyone was searching for the same: https://sharecg.com/v/89846/gallery/8/Script/Daz3d-Pose-Converter-Standalone Downloaded, but have not yet tried it, seems to have good reviews.
but most genesis poses work fine as is on genesis 3, hands only real issue
