It's worth asking, the worst they can say is no. I wasn't aware that DSON Importer supported Genesis 8, that it worked well with the original Genesis but fell short when importing G3. It was then that Wilddial developed Genesis 3 Poser Importer to get a fully functional G3. The importer was upgraded to include Genesis 8, but, then again, there was limited functionality to my understanding. Looking over your suggested steps may seem very feasible. I really need to check my runtimes for a saved G3 figure from Genesis 3 Poser Importer and load it into P12.
