What, precisely do you think makes your content unuseable?

Nothing. I was wondering if I could easily convert Genesis clothing for V4. I understand there's a workaround for V4/M4 Firefly formatted mats that don't work well with Superfly. Thanks for pointing out those two scripts; would those refer to the 'optional node' hborre refers to above? So far I've only found a dead 404 link via a post on the Poser page on Facebook that explains the process, and a 1hr+ YouTube tut, titled "How To Convert Firefly Materials To Superfly", which seems to be an advertisement for EZSkin, with this comment posted about four months ago:

"As it stands, EZSkin3 has become a little obsolete where Superfly is concerned. There are too many inherent problems working with the original PoserSurface node that negates getting realistic renders with Superfly. My feeling is that Poser will move away from the PoserSurface node and replace it with the PhysicalSurface node that is easier to use and works under both render engines. It has been suggested to Snarly that we need to revamp EZSkin to better utilize current Poser 13 Cycles features to get the best optimal renders."

I'm not going to pretend I know what any of this means, except maybe another rabbit hole. Is anybody able to just tell me what application I'll need to purchase, or point to a specific reference I can learn from?
