For example you can start with any G8F and apply 20% of Gia 7, 80% of Pix- Blaze for G3F, 40% of FWSA Cosima for Genevieve 7, etc. Can't do that with the RSSY converter.

You can do this with RiverSoft's converter, and if the character originally had a number of morph dials you'll get them for the G8 version. When I transferred over Narkissa, for example, I got dials for the full preset, the body, the head, the vampire head, the vampire body, etc. I do this type of blending with characters originally from G3 all the time, and they work just like any other G8. 

However, like Drip said, if you have morph packs with individual morphs it's probably easier to transfer them using Zev0's product. You can get them over with RS's product, but you need to basically create the character as G3 with the morphs you want and then transfer it as a character preset.

After hours of chasing down errors, I found a couple of the causes of duplicate file errors are https://www.daz3d.com/bend-control-for-genesis-3-male-s and https://www.daz3d.com/bend-control-for-genesis-3-female-s which must be conflicting with some other add-on, which I haven't pinned down yet.

Other than that, XTransfer is causing Studio to crash every time I try to transfer morphs from individual characters (that is: no batch transfers, just load one character and select those morphs only).

EDIT: Well I removed every G3 morph pack I had installed, including the Daz head and body morphs, tried to use XTransfer on a different G3F character and still that crashed Studio. So, enough for now, and I'll wait until the start of the week to decide if I'll keep XTransfer or not. I've wasted over half a day as it is.

Yeah, I cleaned out my Genesis 3 morphs, transferred over the GenX2 Flexion morphs, then ran X-transfer, it ran perfectly up until the last cleanup bit; then it promptly crashed! As Zev0 said, it is definitely a bug with GenX2 transferred morphs, I'd wait 'til he comes back with a fix first before any refunds as it's definitely an issue with GenX!

EDIT: Whelp, the morphs successfully transferred over to my Gen8 at least, in spite of the crash!

EDIT 2: Never mind, there's some distortion on the face and right side of the body!

Toon Generations:  Both the female and male "Toon Generations Figure (3DU)"  seemed to transfer well.  However the Toon Generations Adjust Age did not.  Moving the slider does not yield any changein the age/size/shape.  I did make sure to favorite, Adjust Age, Figure, include posture and include scale.

Any ideas?  I tried the transfer a couple of times.

You left out Leisa 8. It's the hair and the lighting in the promos that removes the perception of difference (or, if you like, creates the perception of similarity). However, many people are complaining about the fact that Leisa, Jenni, and Robyn appear to be morph dials on Olympia/Victoria/_____.

Yes, we can morph dial our own. But, ideally, the 8 Core family would each be as distinctive from each other as possible. The recent run of somewhat similar faces does not appear to be an attempt to add more character types. No matter, with XTransfer I will now have convenient access to all of the Genesis 3 crowd (along with GenX'd prior generations).

but gen2/3 all look pretty similar as well

I've been thinking and saying that myself for a long time...like, how many of these releases are needed? Get those morph dials out and churn your own. It is a lot easier though. TEXTURES ... yeah, it would be cool to have more variety there for sure. Skin Builder is good, but it too is limited. 

None of them are "needed". Been saying that for years, but I always get grief for it. I own one pro bundle and a handful of base characters and yet I never has issues with creating any type of character I need for a project from morphs or texture editing.

for sure. I succumbed to something not needed. I look at all those characters, and the heads I bought, and go .."why" :)  I have enough morphs to create 50,000 different looks. 
Is it possible to use male morphs on females?

It's been frequently crashing for me. As I was typing this, it crashed for about the sixth time. I've only successfully transfered one character's head/body morphs to G8F, but the other 6 times I've tried loading up G8F to try them, they end up as really distorted, grotesque spiky-things. I'll see if I can get a picture that's safe for Daz forums standards of a couple of them. 

So idk what I'm doing wrong... I really don't want to have to get a refund if I can help it, but if it keeps doing this to me even with G8M, well... :T 

If it helps... iMac Late 2015, 3.2GHz Intel Core 5, 32GB of RAM, and AM Radeon R9 M380 2GB.

As a side note, I tried hitting the 'User Guide' button to see if maybe I'm doing something wrong and expected something to pop up, but nothing shows up. The lack of a guide is pretty infuriating, tbh. RiverSoftArt at least includes a PDF guide with all of their utilities/transfer tools, I don't know why this couldn't have had one as well. Having to trawl through a forum thread just makes things even more frustrating than they are (and increasing my consideration to ask for a refund), because that's even more time spent than just having a 'Common Issues'-type thing. Just a concrit for future versions of the product, fwiw.

ETA: .... And it crashed on me a seventh time. 

With all due respect, Zev0, this product could have used additional time in testing/QC. Again, I don't know if I'm doing something wrong, if it's a Mac-related issue... I don't know.

I am using 4.9 and just bought this and I cannot get any G2 item to convert. This is the error log I get.

The script is calling a function, setParentToFigure, that was added in 4.10.0.50.  Are you willing to update your Daz Studio?  If not, send me an email and I will make a special 4.9 update for you.

I would love to upgrade but my laptop didn't like 4.10. It is not powerful enough to support the Iray plugin.

I will send you an email.

Note to others, we did get a custom version working for 4.9.  If you have such an issue, PM me.

Just bought this, but I'm not 100% sure about proper usage. Do I dial up the main "Cartoonized" morph slider, then make smaller adjustments/tweaks with the other sliders? Or are the other sliders meant to be used on their own?

"Are you saying it loads with a morph named for the character you just uninstalled set?" Yes exactly, so strange.

I installed through install manager.

I dont recall there being an update

For example you can start with any G8F and apply 20% of Gia 7, 80% of Pix- Blaze for G3F, 40% of FWSA Cosima for Genevieve 7, etc. Can't do that with the RSSY converter.

Just checked it in DAZ, but you seem to be wrong. I used Marcius' Aran for G3F as the start and converted her to G8F. And in the parameter/Actor/People tab there now is an entry "Aran" with a slider that will apply the character to a G8F full or partial, as a mix with other characters.

That's because the entire body of that figure is a single morph, so it converts into a G8 morph that is one complete figure. However, there are also a few dozen products that don't consist of just one complete figure, but consist of many partial morphs, like Body Diversity Morphs for Genesis 3 Female(s). Just picking one of Zev0's, to remain with this same designer, but there are loads of these, some even specializing on one body part, like butts, teeth or eyebrows. With Zev0's tool, you can pick your favourite morph from any of those G3 packs, and convert it to G8 as well. Sometimes there's an exact version of that morph available for G8 already, in which case you can see this script as a moneysaver, but sometimes, morphs weren't remade for G8 (yet) for whatever reason, and then this tool is a great solution if you still want it on G8.

I'm really hoping we can get our hands on the G8->G3 conversion module soon though, as I use both generations all the time, so that would open up some neat options for me.

"I chose the path to save the folder, using a runtime I only use for testing, and ran the script."

Was your loaded Genesis 3 also from same content location? Or did you point it to transfer to G8 in another content directory.

Yes deleting those morphs fixed G8. Still waiting for the single morph to transfer (71% 30 minutes) =\

What Morph? That waiting time does not sound right. Is it linked to any hidden morphs?

When I used XTransfer for the first time, I loaded Victoria 7 into the scene with no extras, then I started favouriting some morphs (head/body/full) for mostly Daz characters: V7, Tween Julie 7, etc, plus third party characters (Daz vendors) like Opal; there were no extreme characters. I chose the path to save the folder, using a runtime I only use for testing, and ran the script.

It seemed to work, until it hit 42%, where it stayed stuck for the next hour - note that the clock timer was still running, so Studio had not locked up. After a few more minutes, I closed Studio, using Windows Task Manager, since nothing else worked. I restarted Studio and as soon as I tried to load a basic G8F, there was a quick flash of a duplicate files warning, then Studio crashed to the desktop.

I tried a couple of other things, including restarting my PC (twice) but Studio crashed every time I tried to load any figure.

At that stage, I deleted the whole XT folder, and I assume the problem was caused by some misbehaving morph in my runtime. I no longer use GenX had removed all GenX files (I think??) long ago.

Before I try again, just doing smaller transfers (head/body/full of individual characters) does anyone offer any advice?

Yes deleting those morphs fixed G8. Still waiting for the single morph to transfer (71% 30 minutes) =\

Are you saying it loads with a morph named for the character you just uninstalled set? That sounds like soem kind of doubling up, possibly because there was a problem when the character was updated to deal with the default for the shape being set to 1 (that's a guess, not a certainty). Had there been an update for the character? How were you installing, assuming it was from Daz and you had a choice?

They are called "car door ears" in English slang.

For G3M characters there is Mal3M3dia's Jesse for G3M I'm sure. 

For G8M and G8F I'm pretty sure RareStone Head & Face Morphs product, respectively, has a variety of ear morphs include "car door ears". Check the morph listings for the product(s) before you buy though to be sure.

Rarestone's morph set includes the widest array of ear morphs available, to my knowledge. And 200 Plus Head Morphs has a couple of ear angle morphs that give the outward projection.
