Optinions anyone?
3D Render by maru_berlinHi all!
I was very happy to see that somebody came up with an idea to use all the stuff from G8 on G9, so I immediately bought RSSY's conversion kit and the skin transfer tool.
Today I converted a complete custom character by Tenen and DAZ Standard character Alexandra both in the HD and standard versions.(4 characters in all, 5 hours 21 on my machine).
I knew the conversion kits from before, and I didn't expect a one-to-one conversion, which is also mentioned in the blurb. And maybe i do something wrong or have too high expectations, but at least the HD versions are wonky to say the least: strange pose and body shape, bigfoot feet and a distorted head to name just the obvious.
Sizes are as converted, no changes made.
In my render you see the result for Alexandra HD conversion on the left, Alexandra 8 in the middle and the conversion of Alexandra base 8 to 9. The latter is acceptable, but will not accept any other textures for neither the skin nor the eyes. Also tried the brow remover to add (instead of overlay) G9 brows after the removal. No success there either.
Mind you, this is a first test, but has anybody used the tools and can guide me to better results?
Song to go with the test:

I think I will stick to G8 till I exhaust my Runtime which should only take about 50 or 60 yrs
That being said I have heard from others using it including PA's that it is a major time sink and as you have discovered results may vary . Given the current state of most countries economies I think it was just bad timing for a release of a new model which would require a large investment by users at this point a G9 to G8 transfer for clothing and hair would probably outsell anything currently on offer .
this of course is just my opinion

Tue, May 23, 2023Thanks for sharing your view. There is a lot to dislike with G9, but the facial expressions are definitely better. So, transferring the huge library of "old" stuff seems tempting. The pose converter works fine. So I thought updating existing models would be a good idea. It remains to be seen if this is a valuable resource or a flop.

Thu, May 25, 2023the RSSY Tool is not bad, for Body and Head, exept the Eyes. All Tools I checket out have
the same Problem. Ugly Eyes. Must be a feature from G9. The Expressions can be made
in G8 like in G9 with a bit more Handwork only. So 4 me, no more Converting and stay
with G8 until G10 is coming out
Btw: the Texture-Tool works to 90% good, but it is a Fake with a Overlay
