A Fit-Suit in this context is something that has the geometry of our target figure, but can follow another shape. Here’s the plan: we’re going to turn the G9 base figure into a tight bodysuit that our G8 figure will wear, taking on the shape of our desired custom character. Let’s go through this together step by step. While this is neither a perfect solution, nor a one-click affair, it does give us a good starting point for a base conversion that can be refined in a 3D modelling app. The process is very similar for Genesis 2/3 figures, but I’ll highlighted those bits in another article.

fix eyes if necessary, then save the morph.

export the G9 shape, import as a morph on a fresh copy of (.

run Transfer Utility from G8 to the G9 fit suit.

export G9 as OBJ without attachments, then import again.

dial up the G8 fit clone in the G9 figure.There are a lot of steps to the process, some of which I’ve not mentioned in the video:

These are easier for me to update as new tips and tricks come to light, and link to other relevant resources at the bottom. It’s been a runaway success and I felt we all might benefit from written instructions in addition. I’ve recently made the above video about converting Genesis 8 characters to the new Genesis 9 figure.
