Pixeluna Cyborg Skin - Genesis 8 Male?

Hey all :)

 

So, I'm currently rather in love with the amazing Cyborg skin designs created by Pixeluna for her sci-fi figures such as Venus500 and Onyx, and the earlier Genesis 3 figures Synx and Cypher.  Unless I'm mistaken, there isn't currently a Genesis 8 male character with this design. 

Can anyone who has Cypher (the Genesis 3 male) kindly confirm whether his textures work on Genesis 8 males, or do seams/distortions appear? 

If it doesn't work on Genesis 8, would purchasing Venus500 and using a product like Sloshwerks' Genesis 8 UV Swap: Male and Female Base be an alternative to get this texture on Genesis 8 male? I'm not sure from the description if the Gen 3 - 8 Character Converter by Riversoft would convert the Cypher texture to Genesis 8 (at first I thought no, but now I'm not sure) ??

Thanks so much for any help!

    Yes the textures work on G8M

    Amazing! Thanks so much for confirming @scorpio!

    I haven't seen any distortions on the Cypher skin when used on G8M! Here's what it looks like on Cato.

    I'm glad it's helpful! :D Here he is with Synx's skin as well, for the curious. To do this I loaded the skin on a G8F chara and then copied the skin, lips, and nails surfaces over to Cato and used the Genesis 8 UV Swap to change UVs to Base Female.

    Why not just apply the textures directly to Cato, since you have UV Swap? That should automatically switch Cato to female UV.

    Gender swap between G8F and G8M works automatically, but Synx is a G3 character. I get errors when I try to apply G3 skins to G8 across genders. Maybe there's a trick to applying it directly I haven't learned yet!

    Have the G3 figure with the desired skin and a G8 figure loaded in the viewport at the same time.
    Select the G3 figure in the surfaces tab, right click it, and select copy surfaces.
    Select the G8 figure in the surfaces tab, right click it, and select paste surfaces.
    Works 95% of the times (there are a few rare exceptions where the designers used more custom material setting).

    Supposedly, there's also a real easy way to save applied material settings as a new material setting for a given figure, but I generally just save the entire figure.

    Oh I see, I got mixed up on steps because I wasn't thinking of loading Synx as a figure! I already had a G8F in the scene for transfering stuff so I just applied the materials to her, and since I rarely load G3 figures I guess my brain parsed that as part of the process.

    I step outside G8 so infrequently, and do so little cross-gender stuff generally, that I either hadn't noticed that or had forgotten. I just tried again loading a G3M texture directly onto G8M, and that worked fine, and copying from the G8M to a G8F with UV Swap was also a simple matter.
