Hello everyone, I saw that the new genesis 8 figure is backwards compatible, does that also mean i can apply genesis 8 morphs on older models like genesis 3? Also can i apply genesis 3 series characters on Genesis 8? Thank you for your time.

    The backwards compatibility referred to has limitations.

    "apply genesis 8 morphs on older models like genesis 3?"

    No.

    "apply genesis 3 series characters on Genesis 8?"

    No, not without doing some conversions. There is a thread in the Commons that looks into what is involved:

    https://www.daz3d.com/forums/discussion/176271/morphs-from-g3-to-g8/p1

    The backwards compatibility referred to is largely related to the use of clothing from previous versions of Genesis on Genesis 8, by including Genesis, Genesis 2 and Genesis 3 clones and thus allowing the use of Autofit.

    Poses from previous versions do not work seamlessly without workarounds. There is thread on that, as well.

    Textures from Genesis 3 generally seem to work on Genesis 8, but textures from Genesis 2 and earlier will not.

    Not directly (there are several threads discussing morph conversion by various routes). It means that textures for the Genesis 3 females base UV set will work, and that there are clones for auto-fitting clothing from any other currently available Genesis figure.

    I had a similar question - if a figure in the store says "Required Products: Genesis 3 Female Body Morphs / Genesis 3 Female Head Morphs"
    Does having Gen8 Body/Head Morphs satisfy this requirement?
    I assume not, but I am brand new to this and am basically starting inventory from scatch so bought the latest Gen 8 morphs.

    thanks, Adam

    There are some diferences between G3F and G8F. G3F comes with "Nailbeds", G8F without, resulting in a slightly different Polygonsize. The HD Morphs and the UV-Sets are no longer Working! I don't undestand why.........

    Well, Genesis 8 is free, they will want to make money out of something... to force you to buy again (and again and again and again) the same stuff is one way. Not happening - I do not really see the point in switching from G3 to G8 yet (and probably for some years to come - still using the reliable G1 for many things).
