Guides Blender 3.2+ Texture Conversion Templates (G3F/G8F to G2F) or (G2F to G8F)

MrGiggly submitted a new resource:

Blender 3.2+ Texture Conversion Template (G3F/G8F to G2F) - Converts G3F/G8F to G2F, including genitals (requires some minor additional photoshop/gimp work)

Blender texture conversion template (Version 2)

An updated version of my original texture converter template moved to Blender 3.2+ to support the current GUI

This blender template can be used to convert G3F or G8F textures that you own to G2F for personal use.

- It will convert Diffuse, Normal, Spec and Gloss if they are included in your original texture set.
- It will also prepare a genitals texture (which needs to be finished off in photoshop or gimp).

For anyone who is interested in setting up their own bake templates for other variants or simply baking in general these two vids really helped me get things up and running.

Key elements for setting up are creating accurate clones as they need to be 1:1 between generations. Daz clones only get you so close, especially when you start posing them as we need to for eyes closed, mouth open, etc as the joint controls differ.

I clone and pose them in daz first, take them into Blender to remove what we don't need (eyes, mouth, etc) then run them through wrap to get them as close as physically possible.

Exporting from daz as HD (subdiv of 1) rather than base models produces way better results as wrap has more to work with.

It's also important to create a good tight cage, tweaking where necessary to ensure it fully encapsulates the models - if you watch the vids you'll understand what this part does.

MrGiggly updated Blender 3.2+ Texture Conversion Templates (G3F/G8F to G2F) or (G2F to G8F) with a new update entry:

Additional Template added

An additional template has been added - available via the download link to allow conversion from G2F to G8F

Whilst we still don't have final confirmation on what VAM2 will support, this is a pre-empt to allow conversion.

It can be used in conjunction with Chokaphi's excellent Daz Generations blender template and VAM to Daz tool for a full conversion of morphs and textures
