Okay.. I know this is totally OT now; but, since I've gotten several PM's in the thread I'll post it for all to see.

A little bit of a prologue:
If you use DazStudio and DON'T have Genesis Generation X, I'd wholeheartedly suggest you get it.  Without it I'd still be back bungling along in Poser instead of doing what I want to do in DazStudio.

If/when you get it; I'd suggest you play around a bit and get used to using it before taking on anything super ambitious.  It has a really flat learning curve so I'm talking a couple hours of use; not days and weeks.

For those of you who DO have it, know how to use it and want to convert NBM or NGM for use with Genesis.  Here was my work flow:

First off.. like any other GenX transfer, load your base vickie 4.2.  Then inject NBM into her.  That's the only morph injection.. no ++ morphs or anything like that.  Then export your cr2.

Next, open your cr2 in GenX.  Go to the body and highlight all the NBM morphs.  There should be like 54 of them.  Once they're all highlighted, right click and select Highlighted|Transfer On.

On the dropdown below the selection box, select "Selected Morphs" and then click your transfer button.  

Now.. this will all lump them into one category under you generation x directory in your smart content.  So some editing of the .dsf files will be necessary.  It can be kind of tedious to do them one at a time.  I use a notepad replacement program that will search out text strings in a whole directory of files and do a "find/replace" on them all.

I'm not much of a tutorial writer; but, I have a few hours free today so will whip one up for this and maybe one for basic GenX operation.
