Genesis 8 does not like to be resaved as a CR2 or a PZ3 in Poser, Basically of you add your figure to the scene and dress it every time you need to use it your fine, Bit if you save it dressed your going to have problems ranging from black figure , outlined figure or both at once, or the figure or it's clothes will get corrupted and either the figure will load spagettified and stretched out or the clothing will crumble on the figure and no longer conform properly to fit.

Genesis 8 does work in Poser 11 bit your restricted by not being allowed to save a dressed figure or resave the figure without risking the figure getting corrupted.

My best suggestion is taking it into the setup room and resave it as a new figure but then your going to have to create new morphs for it because those will probably not survive the new rigging process.

So your probably going to have to rig the face as well and already have your figure morphed from a obj export. The process might go faster if you use misfit 3D to get all the groups ready they should already be present on the figure and poser should be able to convert the already existing bones of the figure and separate it from dson by resaving it as a new figure so in theory you shouldn't even have to build the rig that already exists unless you need to have a specific body type morph to start with I'm just guessing.

Suprised no one has just done this already dson is extremely unstable and seems to act more like a virus corrupting the figures....

Either that or someone write a python script or something that solves all this corruption crap.

I really think that your overall assessment is incorrect. I have managed to resave a Genesis 8 cr2 in P11 and reloaded it in P12 with no mentioned corruption. I couldn't say if this is just a unique situation on my computer because I haven't pursued further testing ATM.
