  I used Figure Converter for Genesis 9 to get acceptable results transferring my G8.1F main character. Unfortunately, that product is only available as part of a Premier subscription. It only did the morph, and does not convert HD either. As far as skin goes, unless your most used character uses Victoria 8.1, Kala 8, Jada 8.1, or Clara 8.1 skin, then you will have to switch to a G9 skin. There is Legacy UVs, but I haven't used it yet, because except for a few exceptions I prefer G9 skin.

  Skins:

  To use G8F skins on G9 there are 2 options:

  • https://www.daz3d.com/legacy-uvs-for-genesis-9-genesis-3-8-and-81-female : modifies your G9 figure using geografts so it can use G8 textures
  • https://www.daz3d.com/rssy-genesis-8-and-81-female-material-suit-for-genesis-9 : adds an "external layer" on your G9 figure which can take G8 textures

  It's also possible to convert textures manually, here's a tutorial: https://www.versluis.com/2022/11/converting-skin-textures-for-use-with-genesis-9/

  Morphs :

  • If you're a premier member, there's a shape conversion plugin included among the Premier plugins (it used to be available as a separate plugin before).
  • Otherwise there's this product: https://www.daz3d.com/rssy-character-converter-genesis-8-and-81-female-to-genesis-9
  • It's also possible to do it manually, here's a tutorial: https://www.versluis.com/2022/11/how-to-convert-genesis-8-characters-to-genesis-9-using-the-fit-suit-method/

  Note: it's not possible to convert HD morphs.

   

  Poses :

  There are many options for poses. A few examples:

  Free ones:

  • https://www.renderosity.com/freestuff/items/93219/g8fm-pose-transfer-to-g9

  Commercial ones:

  • https://www.daz3d.com/genesis-3-and-8-to-9-pose-converter
  • https://www.daz3d.com/bone-minion-for-genesis-8-and-81-poses-for-genesis-9
  • IIRC there's also one among the Premier plugins

  Clothes and hair:

  You can already have G9 wear G8F clothes and hair via autofit, the base G9 includes autofit clones for earlier Genesis figures. If you want batch converter, there are these:

  • https://www.daz3d.com/rssy-clothing-converter-from-genesis-8-to-genesis-9
  • https://www.daz3d.com/rssy-hair-converter-from-genesis-8-to-genesis-9

  If your goal is to dress G8F in G9 clothing, it's easier to convert the G9 clothing for G8F instead.
  If you have the latest Genesis 8 installed, Genesis 9 clothing and hair can be Auto-Fitted directly to Genesis 8/8.1.
  If you are not satisfied with the Auto-Fit quality, you can use "RSSY Clothing Converter from Genesis 9 to Genesis 8" to convert Genesis 9 clothing for Genesis 8.

  There's also this to fit G9 clothes to earlier figures: https://www.daz3d.com/mmx-genesis-9-clones-for-all

  Leana's link seems to have a few extra characters that makes it go dodgy, try this: https://www.daz3d.com/mmx-genesis-9-clones-for-all

  Shame - no parametric V3 clones... . Good idea though.
