Yes, the script is looking for Character/Actor presets, not shaping presets. For shaping presets, please use the second script.
Thank you for the kind words.
The G3M to G8M is delayed while I iron out all bugs with the current product. I want both to be out with the same fixes. I believe Zev0 is doing a converter just for morphs.
Yeah, it's disapointing, but at this point, now that G8 has its own version of the Toon Generations as well as Cartoonize (the sample character was built before either of those were available for G8) it might be better to just start over from G8 directly. The project this character was built for will continue to use this version, but new projects will probably get new character models.
I shudder at the prospect of trying to move the G1 stuff forward. If just moving up one version went this badly, trying to leapfrog something like three sounds fairly dire.
BTW, if any morphs were actually saved from either ot those attemps, they are not where you say they are supposed to be. The Vendor name by default was presumably my name, or that's what showed up in the text box for Vendor, and there is no entry with my name in the data/DAZ 3D/Genesis 8/female/Morphs folder whatsoever. I checked Genesis 3 as well just in case, but nothing there either. Nothing shows up in either the parameters or the shaping pallates, either.
Admittedly, the only thing I saved was the scene, not anything else.
A long time ago I used Gen X & Gen X2 to transfer my favourite characters from V4 to G3F.
For its time, this was finely crafted software.
It also required the use of additional software, Blacksmith's Texture Transformer, for transfering the textures.
More often than not, I was pleased with the results, but morphs had to be transferred to G2F first.
This extra step was bothersome & reduced the accuracy of the conversion as the item was converted twice.
I am pleased to see this new product plugging the gap between G3F & G8F too, as that was a process I never got to grips with.
I do hope that, in the fullness of time, there are products launched that take our archives from M4 / V4, Genesis 1, 2 & 3 to Genesis 8 in one hit.
This would certainly be a more elegant & efficient way of doing things.
Whilst textures included would be nice, that is just the cherry on top, as far as I am concerned.
Thanks for your efforts with this product & future endeavours.
The data/DAZ 3D/Genesis 8/female/Morph is under the first path defined in your content manager, on Windows this is usually Documents/Daz 3D/Studio/My Library (I don't know for Mac).
You're welcome!

That converted well. It looks exactly like Sunny 7. Thanks for sharing.
Thanks. Just one more render of her.
It is a Sunny day!
Yep, totally agree, especially with the part that the conversion steps reduced the accuracy of the conversion.
I hear you!
I will investigate earlier generations. 
Here are 2 versions of Amadla. The first is Amadla for Teen Julie 7 the second is with the conversion to Genesis 8. The clothes and hair were also converted.
They look beautiful! Thank you for sharing.

Thank you for your support! I will add you to the list of people clamoring for it
Texture Converter 2 is a very old product, that is primarily intended for converting generation 3 skins to generation 4 (eg V3 to V4). No use for getting older skins onto G3 or G8 (unless using Caymen's geografts for M4/V4 UVs). Texture Transformer 2, the Blacksmith product, is what can be used for converting Generation 4 skins into G3/G8 ones.
Would I be able to convert centaur 7 to genesis 8 with this?
The centaur is not simply a character, it uses a geografted horse body. So probably not.
Oh no, trust me. We warmly welcome ANYTHING that lets us do these things in the least amount of steps possible. :D
Yes, I have tried different centaurs (Chara, Kori and Makemba) and got nothing.
The script just not converts them at all, even with the Force option.
It could convert the “human part” but won’t do anything on the “horse part”, if that’s what you were expecting. As I said, it’s not a character but a separate mesh.
@Leana is correct. It cannot convert the centaur. It can do the human part but not the horse part. Horse 2 is the latest version for horses so there isn't even anything to convert to.
Still trying to get caught up on the posts in this thread, but I have a few questions/comments.
1) Is there a video tutorial showing how to use this product?
2) Any idea when the g3m to g8m will be released? I need that way more than the female version, although I'm still very happy to pick it up.
3) I agree that the g2 generation is still awesome and well loved, having the ability to transfer their morphs/figures to newer generations would be useful.
Not yet. I am working on it.
I am close to submitting. Then it is usually 3-4 weeks.
Thank you for the info!
Ok, here is a tutorial I made up:
