Hey Vexhar... I don't know of a way, though I haven't looked into it. I'll look around and if I find something, I'll post it. Clothes, hair, skins... I do know those are another whole process.
Vexhar asked this too. I don't know of a way, though I haven't looked into it. I know clothes and skin are very tricky to work with, so a direct import might not work. Brows are part of the skin texture, I believe. You can watch this video here:
Good point Slimer... I normally don't have to worry about that, but it's certainly an important point to make
"Fitting" the gen2 to gen8 can get complicated if Scale isn't properly set in step 6. Also, the more you diverge from the base characters in Daz, the more issues you'll have fitting the rigging... i.e. creating specialty characters like dwarfs, or ones with larger heads or eyes. What about ERC Freeze from step 21? Have you tried it both ways? Try saving a new character by leaving the box checked (skip step 21). If you do 'uncheck' the box, like I do, make sure to immediately follow step 22. Like I said in the guild, Daz seems to revert the checked box if don't save the asset right after unchecking it. Lastly, if those steps don't work, try making smaller tweaks to your Daz characters. You could try porting over a bone-stock gen2 (without any tweaks) and see if your problems persist.

Wow... didn't know morph fixer existed. Thanks. I tried copying the morph once, but it didn't work. But now thinking back... I had the settings wrong in Daz. I'll give it a try again. It is easier doing it that way.In my custom character flow, I use Daz Studio to get the face, then mostly use Vam to dial the body. I use a Daz plugin called Head Shop Pro, which has its own set of issues. Once I have a photo generated face on G3 or G8, I follow that Genesis 8 to Vam flow, and it works. I use textures already in Vam. I would almost never use the original photo, because of the baked in lighting. I then copy the Daz .dsf file out of the data directory into the correct Vam directory. Vam creates the vmb and vmi files.
As for the distorted eyes, there is a program called morph fixer that corrects for that.

The Thumbnail is a photo made by AI
(meant to responding to PowderClap...) I found that picture either on reddit or x a few years ago. I tried an image search with google and found nothing, which leads me to believe it was created by AI.
You mean the G8 T-pose file? It's supposed to be in your Daz Studio install, shown as C:\Users\%USER%\Documents\DAZ 3D\Studio\My Library\Presets\Poses. I put it in Content\People\Genesis 8 Female\Poses\T-Pose-Gen2. You have to use that pose preset in Daz Studio to make a G8 figure have their feet and hands in the same position as a G2 character, which is what Vam1 uses.
Here is the t-pose i use... as found on donkilluminatti's original tutorial: https://hub.virtamate.com/resources/import-genesis-8-character-only-morph-to-vam-with-pictures.6260/
If I'm understanding your question correctly, I unzipped the pose and moved it to my Daz content library. Daz recognized the pose without me doing anything else. Libraries in Daz are weird - there's the default content library (where Daz installs its own content) and another User library. I used the User library.
Daz created a confusing situation where they created "Content" and "My Library" in the folder structure. I think this was a holdover from the Genesis 1 days. All the current content from the Daz store is in Content. Only some outside vendors still use My Library. It doesn't have to be that way. Everything can go in Content. That's why I suggested the path Content\People\Genesis 8 Female\Poses\T-Pose-Gen2. If you have two folders, they both have to be listed in the Daz Studio options where you specify content locations. If My Library works for you, great. I don't want the added level of confusion. We don't know yet if @Vamainen got it to work.
