Pose Parameter Sliders from Generation to Generation?

I understand there are utilities that can transfer poses from one generation of figures to another - what I want to know is about the generations of figures for which there is no utility.
If I was to apply a Victoria 3 pose to Victoria 3, and manually write down the parameter settings for the pose - could I go to Genesis 3 or Genesis 8 and then manually set the parameter sliders to get the same pose?
Or is there a way to copy the parameter settings of the Victoria 3 pose and then automatically apply those settings to another generation? I don't mean the pose itself, I mean the parameter settings.
Thanks!

I don't think there's any kind of 1 to 1 corellation between the joints for V3 and any of the later figures (among other things, the abdomen bends are extremely different) so you'd basically have figure out what all the differentials were and do the math to convert them every time. There IS a tool out there that sort-of does that, and it's the only pose conversion tool I'm aware of that directly converts Victoria 3 to any of the Genesis generations. That's Cridgit's Posemaster, which used to be sold here but is now at Renderosity, but the version sold hasn't been updated since the original Genesis. It can, however, be configured to do other figures, but whether it would be worth the effort is questionable.
Edit - Also, to do the V3 conversion requires the purchase of the PeoplePack add on as well as the base PoseMaster, so it's not a cheap option.
