What the heck are the actual differences between the G1 and G2 figures, and will the stuff for G2 work with G1?  This whole mess is blowing up my runtime.

G1 is universal, G2 is (at the moment) a Female only figure.

G2 clothes do not work on G1 but G2 can use V4 & G1 stuff as autofit works better on G2.

You can also transfer G1 morphs and clothes to G2 but you need the V4 shape for G2 to use V4 textures on G2.

Besides the V4 shape, you will need to convert any V4 skin shaders to .duf format (i.e.,if they are the older ones in .dsa, dsb, etc.)

Just load your V4, apply pose file and save as materials preset.

Here's 3 versions G2, V4 (with X&M Perfect V4 morphs) and G1.
