Current Best G3F to G8F Character Converter?

asdf123

Reading lots of old threads, some oddly discussing tools but without a name or link. Could someone please let me know the best method of converting G3F to G8F? Paid or unpaid, doesn't matter. Whatever's best

GenNext. A bit buggy, but it's free and has very good conversion accuracy.

You'll likely want to read the last few pages of this thread for tips and how-to information:

Is that for transferring Morphs or Characters, or are Morphs the same as Characters in this context?

Matt_Castle

Somewhere between the two. It's for transferring morphs, but morphs are one of the fundamental parts of characters.

A character will generally be made up of one (or more) morphs of the base mesh.

The other component common to all characters is their materials - however, G3 and G8 materials are mostly intercompatible (the texture layout for eyes changed slightly, and all the G3 Base DO characters used custom texture layouts, but things are mostly identical other than that).

Some characters however rely on geografts, which cannot be easily transferred.
