Use your Genesis 9 clothing with your Genesis 8 and 8.1 characters! Convert almost your entire wardrobe of clothes using the new Clothing Converter from Genesis 9 to Genesis 8 Female or the Clothing Converter from Genesis 9 to Genesis 8 Male scripts! The Clothing Converter scripts provide batch execution for converting your Genesis 9 clothing to Genesis 8 and 8.1 clothing in your library. Easily select the wardrobe items in your library, select an output directory, and execute the script. Even better, icons and categories are copied from your original Genesis 9 clothing to the new Genesis 8 and 8.1 clothing items.

Your new Genesis 8 and 8.1 wardrobe is completely Smart Content-aware! They will show up when you select a Genesis 8 and 8.1 figure. Plus, all materials shown in Smart Content for your Genesis 9 item will show for your converted Genesis 8 and 8.1 item. Converted clothing, instead of using Auto-Fit, produces vastly less distorted results.

The Clothing Converter script does not work with props (e.g., swords, wands, etc) and wearables (e.g., outfits). Items without metadata can be converted but will not show up in Smart Content. They may also need to be converted using a Force Convert Item(s) button. It may also not work as well with high-heeled shoes because of problems with positioning the feet without turning on the Use Foot Dialog option during conversion.

The script may not be able to convert all clothing items without issues. Converted items may exhibit poke-through. Usually, this can be fixed by modifying the smoothing modifier.

Note: Converting accessories are limited because the bone structure is too different between Genesis 9 and Genesis 8. By default, only accessories with metadata for the head or hip are accepted as these bones have the same name between generations. You can try to convert other accessories. Many accessories do not use the bone structure and will load and convert correctly. However, for accessories that attempt to load onto a missing bone, the accessory will load in the wrong location. Daz Studio may also become unstable and crash the script when trying to SAVE the accessory.
