Item compatibility?

I was hoping to get a little guidance/confirmation about this product before I bought it.

I use Gen 3 characters and havne't yet experimented with any Gen 8 models. Would this product be reasonable compatible? I understand there are always adjustments that may have to be made, I just didn't want to buy it if there was something very different about the Gen 8's which made auto-follow less active. Great return policy at Daz but I hate having to use it and sounding like a complainer.

Thanks for any comments.

*Edit) Just to be clear I didn't mean I was looking for feedback experiance with this particular item. I guess my base question is "Gen 8 wearables on Gen 3, is it sketchy or pretty reliable?"

    If (big if) I remember, Genesis 3 items are forward compatible but Genesis 8 items do not generally do very well backwards compatible.  But, I would wait and see if someone who knows better shows up to verify that before making up your mind.

    I got impatient and went ahead and bought the product. It does NOT work well at all. No reflection on the product of course. When I attempt to load it onto the character, it asks me if the item is meant for a G3M or G2F. I tried different combinations there and all of them loaded the product "off" the character. So that mystery is solved. I don't think I'll return it since I'm sure it's inevitable that I'll start working with Gen 8 eventually. I just have to much invested in Gen3 at the moment to abandon it. Oh well, that's Daz Life. Can't win'em all.

    You might not have to wait that long, it's probably only a matter of time before someone releases a G8->G3 converter.

    Let's hope so...

    The head and torso bandages work fine, but arms and legs... not so much.

    If the bandages use Autofit then there are free clones for G8-G3  here:

    These work well for clothes,  I don't own the bandages but its free to find out :)
