In theory, but how much of a hassle it is depends on the expression.
If the controller is just a preset of sliders that both figures have in common (and where the referenced sliders are sufficiently similar), then you can use an ERC bake in Parameter edit mode to turn them into a copyable or saveable pose. (Alternatively, you can edit the data files' JSON directly so that they refer to G8M as their figure rather than G8F).
If it requires actual morph data though, you would have to transfer those as well. (Obviously with the limitation of not having HD).
Technically, yes ~~
1) If an Expression dial is a Pose Control property (Modifier/Pose) that calls Base Pose Head properties of G8F or FACS properties of G8.1F, you can locate its DSF file in data folder, copy it from data\DAZ 3D\Genesis 8\Female\Morphs\... (or data\DAZ 3D\Genesis 8\Female 8_1\Morphs\...) to data\DAZ 3D\Genesis 8\Male\Morphs\... (or data\DAZ 3D\Genesis 8\Male 8_1\Morphs\...). Then open the DSF file (uncompress it if it's compressed...) with Notepad++, replace Female with Male. Load G8M or G8.1M, that Expression will work.
2) If an Expression dial is a pure morph (Modifier/Shape), you have to convert the expression morph from G8F to G8M with Transfer Utility by using Morph Targets option + G8M Clone on G8F (or vice versa...). Save the transferred expression morph on G8M as a Modifer asset. That'll also work. ( Edit: Check this post of how-to, same approach: https://www.daz3d.com/forums/discussion/comment/9364356/#Comment_9364356)
_ have used G8Male Expressin on G8Female And worked alright + Thanx
How did you use them? When you load a Genesis 8 Male, female expression sliders don't show up. How do you get the G8Female expression sliders to show up when you load a Genesis 8 Male figure?
