Hello, don't know if someone has covered this yet but say I have a G8 character that I love but don't want to commit to G8 just yet.  Is there a way to down convert the morphs and UV for Genesis 3?

    G8 uses G3 UVs, so there is nothing to worry about there, you can simply apply any G8 skin to G3.

    If you want to use G8 morphs on G3 see this thread:

    Oops, I think my question is a bit misleading.  I want to use the skin of a Monique 8 character on Genesis 3.  Is it the same method, just simply adding it to G3?

    Monique 8 uses the base G8 UV mappping, should it should just apply like any other G3 skin.since G3 shares the same UV mapping as G8

    You may have to save it as a normal material preset before you can use it, though.

    Save the skin you want to use as a Material Preset on G8F first, if it a Hierarchical Preset, because Hierarchical Presets only work on the figure they are for.

    True, just tried it out and it needs to be saved as a material preset first, but applies to GF3 fine after that.

    Awesome, folks.  I used the BD Vale skin on Ophelia 7 and it worked flawlessly.  Now if I can just figure out these morphs. :)
