GenX2 Not valid error

I'm starting to remember why I gave up on this plugin when I first tried it. But I recently bought the Add-on for G3 and am back to utter frustration.

I have checked the version of Generation X2 and it is 2.1.0.0 - which I believe is correct.

I have the add-ons installed in my AppData/Roaming folder. 

I specify the Source to be G2F

I set the Target to be G3F

I click on Load Figure and I am only offered Poser files. If I change to All Files and select, say, Joanie HD (or any other G2F .duf character) I get a Not Valid error.

I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling (using DIM) but no joy. To add to the frustration, the PDF for Generation X2 is long out of date and describes V4/M4 to Genesis. The PDFs for the Add-ons are no help at all.

    You do not need to load any additional CR2 or duf files if you have selected G2F as the source, that is only needed for Gen4 and older figures.

    Look in the morph list for Genesis 2 Female (probably under Actor/People/Female), and you should see Joanie in that list. Select this and you should be able to transfer it. Note that only the standard morph will be moved over, generation X can not transfer HD morphs.

    Ok - on reading the PDF it says the Load Figure is for Poser characters. So now I'm assuming that I should not be using the Load Figure button for a G2F character, right?

    Are you talking about the Morphs tab? If so, how do I transfer Joanie (as selected in my screen shot)?

    Right, I see what you are saying now. The morph list not the morph tab. Ok, starting to make more sense now. Thanks.

    Thanks again, that misread on my part was the cause of my frustration ... it all becomes much clearer if I undock the GenX tab so that I get a better view of the morph list.

    Glad you sorted it out. Gen X is not the easiest of tools to use, but very worthwhile when it finally comes together, as you can move all your favourite characters to the newer figures.

    Yeah, if only it was easy to transfer the skin textures between generations. frown

    There's a few kits in the stores for letting you use prior generation textures on G3, via some geografts and scripts. I'm trying to find a good way to then use this to "bake" the textures out on to a G3 UV map so I can use my regular geografts without conflicts...

    If you have the relevant Cayman Studios product, it is even easier than transfering the morph with GenX

    I'm somewhat wary of how that would work with 3rd. Party geografts (3feetwolf gens, for example).

    I do not have that geograft, so I can not really say for certain, but the geografts used by Caymen's products can be applied individually so that the one at the hip is not used when combined with the third party geograft. You still have to sort out the textures for the 3rd part geograft and relevant torso area for yourself, but at least the shoulder, head, legs etc would use the older skin seamlessly.

    I'll check the support thread for the 3feetwolf product - someone might have tried it. There were a lot of questions about NGS2 and that was sorted between the two vendors very well.

    On the other hand, I'm pleased at the way G3F skins look on the GenX figures. Here's the G2F character, Bellatrix, with G3F Opal skin ...
