Nice that she can wear clothes and all, but with no morphs on the body at all, it makes her less useful than Vicky 2. Is there any way to transfer Vicky 2's morphs to the "Vicky 3 to Vicky 2" character? Morphmanager wasn't up to it, apparently.

Nope. You need to buy the Morph packs for V3.

No, I did that. What I'm asking is if you can use the Vicky 2 morphs with the "Vicky 3 to Vicky 2" character that comes with Vicky 3. She fits in the clothes but that's it. No morphs at all on the body. I really want to know if I'm stuck using either: V3 with fine morphs and no clothes. or V3 to V2 with clothes and only head morphs. The injectable morphs for V3 don't work on V3 to V2... do they?

no. But you could try the tailor and see what you can move over from V2 to the V3 to V2 version. Not tried it in this particular case, (I may end up doing it though) but have in similar situations in the past and its worked about 90 percent of the time.

edit, not for body parts that do not share the same number of vertices... V3 to V2 is cut up like V2 and using a V2 compatible cr2, its not cut like V3, so some of your vertices may not match up on body parts.

somewhere in my mind, it occurs to me to just start making my V2 clothing V3 compatible... may be easier in the long term, as V3 is simply a better figure... (what I'd really like is a lower res V3 figure that incorporates the advances in the V3 cr2!!!!! wow, can she ever bend better!)

They should. You can also use your character face poses on V3 (as long as the same named morphs are installed), and you will get a similar face, then you can tweak it. It won't be the same character, but will be like that character "V3-ified"

I was under the impression that V2 standard dials are incorporated into V3 as much as were possible to do. But V2 custom morphs (non Daz-created morphs I mean) won't be there, and of course you'll have to figure a way to approximate them. Which is why I suggested the Tailor, I used it before with success in this area.

oh, I see what you mean, Tried to inject v3 morphs to the body of V3-V2 and no go. Head works though, not the body. Might try the tailor, it may work on getting some of those morphs over. But again, I think its better to start working on converting v3 clothing. I'm going to start converting some of my textures too... I like how she's uvmapped, a LOT.

I got the Vic 3 ..... none of the clothes for Vic2 fit! and the V-3 to Vic 2 only allows you to add her head! Yikes.. What good are all the stuff I have for Vic2? I did get the morphs for the head and body... ate my pose folder up. But, unless something is changed, poor Vic3 is a neked thing!

If you have Poser 5, it might be worth while to create a new runtime directory just for Vicky 3 and all her folders. Could help to cut back on all the confusion and clear up some space.

Farside - Good idea! She's an organizational nightmare. I shudder to think what she would have done to poor old P4. Hogwarden has GOT to release PBoost 1.4. But seriously, does anyone know why DAZ didn't include any of the V2 morphs on the V3 to V2 character? Seems like a waste to me.

well the image i made "one night in my life" was made of v3 to v2. the facial morphs did ok though. i was able to transfer it but i was unsuccessful with the body morphs though. ill be working on the pure v3 charcter tonight and see what i can come up with.

Okay, Glad to see I'm not the only one with issues with V3-V2 body morphs. Going to try the Tailor. I tried Morph Manager and Roxanne (I love all those Morphs Capsces!) but did not have any success. JDexter

seems to me that I clicked a V2 body mor file and it changed the body on V3-V2 but I havent tried to add a morph by itself now I guess I will have to

Using macconstructer to transfer v2morph over to v3v2 isn't working while the program is transfer some of the morphs over areas like the collars and hip aren't accepting any. Also th e morphs that do transfer over do nothing to change the figure when they are selected in poser. Could it be the morph channels on the body are turned off like in the v3 blank figure? Maybe some one will create there own v3v2, like the ones that appeared when v1 and v2 first appeared.

I tried to transfer some of the V2-morphs to regualr V3 (not V3 to V2) via Tailor. It worked but the results are more than ugly.
I cant understand why so many people want to transfer old V2-morph to new V3, i think V3 is versatile enough with the morph-packages DAZ provided.
Transfering the V2-morph to V3 in Tailor is btw very time-consumpting and i got not the results i want.

Ive used Tailor on lots of stuff with success. The trick is that the CR2 MUST BE SIMILAR as well as the target figure being chopped up similarly... if you did V2 to V3 and didnt use V3toV3 cr2... that can be a huge part of the problem. The parts have to be sliced up the same and they are not. now, I agree though that V3 is way better... but I do understand other people wanting to use V2 textures on V3 with a similar degree of flexibility in the morphs as before.

V3 to V2 Cr2... I'm typo queen today.

The reason I'd like to use the V2 morphs with the Vicky 3 to Vicky 2 character, NOT the Vicky 3 character (she has plenty of morphs), is that I'd like to be able to tweak the body of the V3 to V2 character, since I have to use that character if I want to use any of the gigs of crap I have for Vicky 2.

I'm not complaining about V3 here, but I seriously question DAZ's reasoning in not including the standard Vicky 2 morphs with the V3 to V2 character, particularly when it is difficult, if not impossible, for us to transfer them ourselves.
