Hey does anyone know if a there is a converter or script available (or in the works) for Genesis 3 to Genesis 2? I dig some of the G3F/G3M pose sets coming out, but have no desire to hop on the Genesis 3 train.

One of the problems with a converter to drop back to G2 from G3 are the rigging changes. There are more bones in G3 and if the pose includes rotations for those bones, the rotations either won't be applied to anything (resulting in some odd disjointed transitions) or need to be divided up among the common bones (to both figures). So, in other words a lot of correctives would need to be applied...not something that is absolutely impossible to do automatically, but not easy.
Simply applying and manually tweaking the pose is probably the best for now...but be warned some simply won't work at all (like some facial poses, as G3 now has a rather complete face rig, so expressions are poses, not morphs). Others will make the figure look like it was playing the role of 'bug' and the pose the role of 'windshield'.
mjc1016, thanks for your response! Yeah... That's what I was afraid of. I'm not as interested in the facial expressions as I am the poses. Even though I would adjust/tweak most Genesis 2 poses manually, it was a great benefit to having a solid pose to start from to save time. Not being "perfect" would be okay, for my needs anyway, but as it stands now the Genesis 3 poses are so incompatible on Genesis 2 that they just aren't very useful to us Genesis 2 users... even as a base starting point. Most of the pose vendors have gone Genesis 3-only (sadly), so I guess I'll just have to pass on their new stuff altogether. Again, thanks for answering.
