Little Ones for Genesis 2?

Is there not a little ones for Gensesis 2? I hope they plan to make one. In the mean time, can anyone tell me how to transpher the morph at least? I have a ton of great items for Genesis 2 and my own morphs that would go well with it. I really dislike Genesis 3... G3 seems to be heavily in favor of shutting down creativty that isnt store bought. The people @ Daz over time has began to lose their understanding of the whole meaning of art. I buy products to add to my abilitys as an artist. It isnt to recreate their promo renders. lol...

I just need to know how to Transpher the morph to G2... If I can avoid G3 I will.
Check this thread: http://www.daz3d.com/forums/discussion/24093/transferring-morphs-from-genesis-to-g2m-g2f-and-from-g2m-g2f-to-genesis-now-with-clones/p1
Or you can wait till Dimension3d releases G3 support for GenX.
I'm still waiting... It's really sad a product like Gen X is taken so long. So is the skin converters. Those products are hot items, and if I was running the show @ Daz I would not allow a new generation of Genesis to even be realased without compatability converters to go with it. Hell, my Genesis 2 only has 4 autofit clones. K4 never even made it on the chart... It's really sad that people are so hung up on money that they abandon everything about art, and flexablity, in the prosute of riches.
I have had mixed success transfering morphs from Gen 2 to 3 (and vice versa if that is what you want) using the method described in the link above. Body shapes transfer fine, but the head shapes, in particular the eyes/eye lids are not so good. G2F<->G3F is not so bad, but G2M<->G3M are virtually unusable the eyes are so bad. This comes down to using the clone morphs for the transfers, and those clones are designed for moving clothing, so the eyes and inside of the mouth do not need to be the same as the original model, and they are not. Until someone comes up with a different clone, then moving morphs is not so easy. I am hoping Gen X3 if/when it arrives will do a better job, but we are not aware if the developer is even working on it.
I dunno but it's been almost a year now since I started with G3, and I sont even have so much as Coastal Arch morph for the stomach. My G2 has everything from elf ears, to ankle bones and everything else inbetween you can imagine, and then some... Disapointing really. G3 could be a revolutionary figure, but it looks to like it's designed for soul intent and purpose of Daz premade characters and products only.
And if you want HD... thats another charge... Because they desinged it so they HD morphs are impossible to create on your own. Trust me I've tried. you can't morph past base res in zbrush. In short, everything about creativity with G3 has been stripped away from us.
To be fair to Daz they are a business and 99% of what they sell aren't made by them but by independent vendors. You would thnk though that the more versatile products are, the more it would increase sales, for Daz and vendors alike.
When I first got into 3D.. There was so much art being exchanged. From morphs, to clothing, and all kind of goodies you can get for free. genesis was CRAZY and way cool and diverse. I still use genesis. In modern times, your lucky to get a texture pack for free.
No I'm not in a bad mood. lol... I'm just not too thrilled with the direction this is all headed.
When you have meshes and material zones different between figures, you do get a compatibility problem that limits what can be used between figures. The altenative would be to not make advancements in the products available for sale like improved weight mapping, JCMs for better bending, etc. I do see where you're comming from though.
Apart from the fact that "normal" users (ie non-DAZ PAs) can not make HD morphs for Genesis 3, which is also true for Genesis 1/2, I can not see what makes Genesis 3 anymore for "pre made content only" than Genesis 2. Naturally there are more freebies for Genesis 2, but then it has been around much longer, so that is to be expected.
Having said that, I guess what Angel - Wings is frustrated with, is an easy way to move any existing content to Genesis 3, in particular freebies, or self made content, for those on a tight budget. For the morphs in particular, hopefully, Generation X can be updated to make this both easier, and better quality, than the manual way detailed in the link above. There is also an easier way available now for moving older skins to Genesis 3, although this needs a commercial product unless one has the skill and patience to go via the bender route.
One thing that has made Genesis 3 a bit more tricky to allow for content to be moved easily is the decision to base G3F and G3M on different meshes, a decision I only partially agree with. The mesh differences are small (a few hundred missing polys in the G3M chest area), but as a consequence neither UVs nor morphs can be easily moved between them. The UV issue is not so important as the vast majority of skins are based on just 2 UVs (ie base male and base female) and a relatively cheap product already exists to deal with this. Moving morphs are much tricker, unless someone knows an easier way than the one mentioned in the link above, and as I mentioned before, these transfers tend to go wrong in the eye area. Hopefully a Generation X update with solve this as well.
What about Zev0's Growing Up for Genesis 2 for making little ones?
I recall correctly, the Little Ones Mega Pack sat in the hot list for some weeks after release, so a fair few people bought it I assume.
