Hello, 

Are folks having success with this tool? All my g3 to g8 converts end up with bad eye distortion. After churning the manual and the entirety of this thread... I've tried all the {hide eyes, legacy, tolerance value tweaking, etc} numerous times and combinations. The results end up generally the same if I'm doing in scene convert, or character file convert scripts, which is squished eyeballs.

Is that the accepted result standard? I see people have posted some 'success' pictures to this thread, but mostly they are distance views, and maybe had some post work done.

I'm just trying to use it with general G3 female realistic human characters, no stylized, no creatures, etc.

Anyone have any suggestions or tips to resolve this? I just need to be able to have a normal g8 eyeball, and don't care about the g3 texture either. Or some manual steps I could do afterward to put in a proper eyeball?

I've attached some example results. If people say it works for them without eye squish, please give some character names from the catalog I could try.

Thanks for your help

 

It definitely works better on some characters than others, and some will work with a lot of experimentation. For example, Victoria 7 and Olympia 7 both converted with default settings no problem. Ophelia 7 took a lot lot lot of tweaking and what eventually worked was using the legacy method with 'hide eyes' unchecked and a tolerance of .0004. I've had the same problems as you with both females and males and I still cannot get Darius 7 to convert without that distortion no matter what combination of settings I use. My guess is that some characters just won't go. 

The next question is ... who has the lowest order number? My earliest order dates from 6 July 2000, and has order number 1844. I'm pretty sure someone here should be able to beat that.

I think there is something fishy with the order numbers.  My first recorded order is in 2003 and includes Victoria 3 as a product.  I know that I bought the millenium woman and man when they came out (Victoria 1 and Michael 1), and they are in my product library.  Either I bought them elsewhere through some Daz partnership, and are in my product library due to a later merger, or whatever, or orders have been reorganized in some way.

 

I have a couple of orders which have no content actually listed,  just a total spent,  really early orders.    and look at the order numbers, and both with the same date.

114664	5/25/01	$34.95	Complete	View Order
29989	5/25/01	$28.45	Complete	View Order

The first order that actually has a note of what I bought is for the V2 Fantasy wrap,   and I have the same order twice, same date, different orders numbers

86350	6/9/01	$8.37	Complete	View Order
21632	6/9/01	$8.37	Complete	View Order

So there really is something screwy going on with those first orders.   I know I had bought stuff before I bought V2,  I had a load of stuff for  the old Posette and I know I bought the original song bird,  but that never appeared in my purchase history when I needed to redownload it,  and I had to buy it again.  Luckily it was one of the products that was moved into the PC to start that off,  so it only cost me $1.99 to buy it again,  which was a lot less than it cost first time round. Does anyone remember the old Costume shop CD.  I still have the CD,  but no record of buying it.  I do know I had orders dating from the last century. Victoria was born in 1999.

Funnily enough the first order that shows on my account is the Costume CD, order number 1764 5th July 2000. I don't know where the CD is now. Not sure about the gift certificate, was that maybe some reward for joining the website ??? ( that I immediately spent in the CD no doubt ).

I think the first content i bought was the old 'Parts and props' CD , but that was from Zygote.

Yeah, DAZ's numbers are all mixed up.  For example, one of the things I've notcied is that when you buy a bundle that has something in it that you've already purchased, the sales date is updated to the latest purchase date.  My DAZ account started in April of 2005, which I think was re-imbursing a coupon I received in a box with Poser 5 or an early version of VUE.  However, the earliest invoice date I have is in January of 2006, which is when I joined the Platinum Club, and several of the other items on that invoice show purchase dates that are much later... my product library entry for the Aiko 3 base, for example, shows that I bought it on July 3d of 2012, over six years later, when it was included as part of the Anime Starter Bundle.

Order numbers were changed to a new format when they shifted to Magento (2012 I think?), but the system still uses both formats internally so it's a bit complex.  What side effects this may have if any I don't know.

I rebuilt my computer a couple weeks ago and just noticed that the M4/V4 shapes I'd purchased no longer show up under Genesis' "actors" property in the parameters tab.  I uninstalled/reinstalled them via Daz Install Manager.  Still nothing.  I checked the installation path, and I don't see anythig fishy.  I can see Michael 4 and Victoria 4 installed with the rest of the genesis morphs (see attached image).  Any ideas?

Victoria 2 too long to remember

I've been using Genesis 3 for a long time and I'm very happy with all the models/poses/clothes for G3. But when it comes to G8 everything seems to be great, poses and clothes, except for the models !! With all due respect all the G8 female models are just average to bad. Is it because G8 features and/or structures? I'm trying to find one to buy but I don't find a good enough looking model.

Is this just me? seriously I want to know because this is going on forever and I hate it.

When Victoria 8 came out my reaction was I am going to vomit (over and over again). But the truth is the other characters (pre G8F) were too perfect and despite the fact V8 was just short of t gruesome she morphed offspring  to drool fo,r so in hindsight  Iam a V8 diehard fan.

No problem she is really gorgeous her promos don't do her justice IMHO! I love her on Victoria 8!

Thanks for the links https://www.renderosity.com/mod/bcs/osuine-for-genesis-8-female/126928 guys I'm going to Rendo to buy it now she looks amazing !

Well, she is the Impossible Girl. ;)   All of Sangriart's characters are celebrity look-alikes and Osuine is a spot-on recreation of Jenna Coleman, who played Clara Oswald (companion to the 11th and 12th Doctors) and Oswin Oswald on Doctor Who, and Queen Victoria in the British TV series Victoria. 

It is definitely the Osuine texture set, but the character itself looks like an updated version of Neftis' custom character that she once used in her promos going back to Victoria 4 days. She bowed to pressure at that time from customers and released the character as a morph for sale: Orianne. However, it is no longer available in the store. Here's what she looked like as V4, with her original textures:

 

She's still in the store - https://www.daz3d.com/orianne-character-for-v4 ;

For the person who messaged asking about the character? It was something I'd whipped up shape-wise, but the skin itself is sadly no longer available (it's the "Kabuki" skin from the original "Momiji" character for Victoria 3 at Renderosity, for the morbidly curious...) I had to use an ancient (and also discontinued) texture conversion utility from Dark Whisper err, 3D Universe, to get it converted to the Victoria 4 UV Maps, and then further rinse the textures through Texture Transformer to get it up to Genesis 3, which fits just fine on Genesis 8. The pupils I just didn't bother with migrating, instead making a blank blue iRay glass-like shader to match the original character. I also wedged in the subsurface, normals and etc maps from another character I have... forgot which character offhand though for those bits of it... but I do like the more natural effect now (over the original Vicky 3 character). All in all, it was a fun bit of a challenge, and I now have something that is shaping up to be amazingly cute to boot.

Darn! You're right: she is cute. If you ever decide to sell her (with or without texture maps), I'll buy it!

Hello Zev0,

I have a problem similar to a previous user on this post, that couldn't start running the script with a custom morph he made. Then you asked him to send you his custom morph in PM and your particular discussion became private, unfortunately for me and people with a similar issue.

Basically, I've created a custom G3 female character from here and there, exported her as obj and imported that obj into Morph Loader pro, making it an actual morph in Actor/Full Body/Real People that works fine on loaded Genesis 3 Female.

So, I was enthusiastic with your XTransfer product because it seemed that I could transfer that particular character morph to a G8 figure now. 

But when I favorite (heart) that morph, G3 female selected, and click the script, DAZ thinks for a few seconds and nothing happens. 

Now, the script opens and works on many other morphs like Victoria 7, but not on my custom morph.

Here's the log part of when I run the script, and it doesn't open:

No geoshell (yet), since that was among my first thoughts as well.
I did discover that yes, it is in the render settings somewhere, but no, I haven't found the specific setting yet. I pulled up and merged in a saved scene using its render settings that I remembered had worked real well overall, and the artifacts disappeared.

I know this likely has to do with texture rez misinterpretation somewhere, but instead of blowing a zillion hours to trace the exact cause, I thought I'd ask first in case someone already knows...
On occasion, I see these pixellated oval artifacts pop up on the limbs. It really does not matter what skin I use (in this case, I've adapted an *ancient* skin from the Victoria 3(!) Momiji character, and before anyone says it, I've rendered it just fine in iRay w/o these artifacts before...)
Question, is there a setting I'm missing in iRay, or one that under certain conditions causes this? Default lighting, default Render settings (though in testing I did turn on denoiser just in case it might have been that, etc.)
