Is there a way of converting textures (materials) between Genesis 2 through Genesis 9?

There was once a texture converter that worked great with the michael and victoria models through unimesh, but I can't find anything that can be used in the genesis series. Is there anything for that?

    There is no direct conversion, but there are products that will provide proper UV mapping and Geografts to and from various generations of Genesis figures. Check out Cayman Studios here for most of them. They also have a store at Renderosity with two more that should cover all combos.

    Unfortunately there's no legacy product for G2 > G9 from CaymanStudios ~~

    You can convert texture maps from G2 to G9 in Blender by projecting the maps across different UVs. This is a totally free way but it requires some technics and skillset of Blender ~~

    Alternatively, a much simpler way: you can make a G2F Material Suit for G9, like the one in this product: https://www.daz3d.com/rssy-genesis-8-and-81-female-material-suit-for-genesis-9

    i.e. rig a G2F obj onto G9 with Transfer Utility so as to make it as a Material Suit.  Attached screenshot is a roughly-made example: Victoria 9 with the material suit of G2F to which Victoria 6's texture maps are applied.
    (removed Eyes related surfaces on G2 object, rig it as a "Body and Head Suit"  to G9, set G9 as Auto-Hide in Geometry Editor.... etc. etc.)
