Yeah. Now I tried Blender 3.4 by disabling all plugins except yours and the legacy importer. The same.
Can you give g2/g8 (obj) to the models you work with ? To test the plugin. Perhaps the problem is on the DAZ side.

Check your messages.
Would texture conversion between generations also work with this?
No, for most figures. It might be something I work on down he road by making a conform for baking option..
This tool never changes the models poses, to transfer textures you need the meshes to overlap for baking. So Shape and pose need to be the same. The G2 T-pose does not fully overlap G3 T-pose and G8/G9 are in A-pose.
The tool was made to change the shape while avoiding pose changes to make the shape import into Daz cleanly. If the pose is too far off it can make the morph incompatible with morphs and poses designed for that figure.

One thing I've noticed when trying to convert G9 meshes is that compared to the G8 conversions it does a much better job transferring the morphs but it seems like the positioning of the elbows is off compared to the shape of the G2 mesh.
It also causes the rig to look odd when adjusting the rig to shape in Daz, as you can see here.
Just to test, I saved the morph anyway and applied it in Vam it does still cause the arms to look weird. Any insight on this? I've tried a few different G9s and they all come out about the same way.

G9 has to use a different system than the others converts so I will see what I can do to better keep the bones correct. G9 is honestly nothing like any previous generations and I had to make a special "preshape morph" before the figure transfer happens. This preshape is probably what is causing the bone issues, the other generations focus on keeping the poses but costs the accuracy of the body shape transfer in tradeoff.
You can try matching the scales between models so the shoulders are aligned, adding a auto scale before transfer is something I want to add down the line

I'd just like to add my 2 cents.
Chest morphs seem to be slightly offset when converting; the placement of the breasts do not vertically match, so the center of the breast texture ends up higher than it should be. Hopefully that's something that you could fix while working on the arm issue?

Unfortunately I have exactly the same problem as Orihimehr and SinFear have Blender 3.3 to Blender 3.6.2 on Windows 10 tried everywhere the same error, have also extra on another PC Windows 11 completely reinstalled and also there the same error.
Haven't found a solution?
Unfortunately no I currently do this via the fit method with full body or Wrap4D.

I got some problems here, but I have no idea about how to solve this..... Could anyone give me any advice?
I use it to transfer G8F to G2F, and it seems there is no problem with rigging though.....
我的问题是一切都严格按照教程进行，即使在删除并重新安装插件后，我仍然无法点亮按钮
Chokaphi updated Daz Generations Converter with a new update entry:
1.1.0 Release to support Blender 4.x

Hello Orihimehr,
I experience exactly the same problem then you. Did you find the solution?
I just bought HeadShop 2024 and I am stuck with this problem.
Have you tried the latest version? It has added it own import/export options in the DazGen tab. Those always respect vertex order.
Are you on Linux or using Blender in a Virtual Machine? Can you upload the meshes you are having the issue with so I can check teh vertex ID's?
The rigging does look ok in that screenshot, Did you ERC Freeze in Daz before saving the morph?

Hello Chokaphi,
I work without Virtual Machine in W10. I tried with Blender 3.3.0 and 4.0.2
I used the last version of the converter which is labeled 1.2.0 in VAM HUB page but appears as 1.1.0 in Blender.
I tried both OBJ (legacy) importer and the one of the converter.
I have vertex id 0 for G2 and 6569 for G8 in middle of left nipple.
P.S.: My OBJ files were refused as attachments. I don't know how to upload them.

It seems that my DAZ studio produces the same files as the one of Orihimehr ...

As the ones of Orihimehr they have also the same size: 2.1 Mb for G2 and 1.6Mb for G8
I put the files in attachments as .txt so you can try them on your setup if you have time.
Re-importing then in DAZ via Morph Loader was successful with one more comment for G8: "No deltas for morph, skipping node."
Both G2 and G8 are basic Female without morph.

Can you give me a screenshot of your Daz export settings? Here are mine.
I think you do not have "Write Normals" checked since I don't see them in your file, byt that does't break conversions. I'm hoping there is a setting that I thought was unimportant that is causing the explosions
Also in the plugin you are Clicking on the Female Converter and not the Male Converter right?

Indeed, "Write normals" was missing and checking this parameter doesn't solve the problem.
But now the size of the files are 3.4Mb for G2 and 2.6Mb for G8.
I put the new files in attachments. Can you check the files on your setup to see if the problem comes from DAZ or from the pulgin in Blender?

Hello Chokaphi,
In order to investigate de source of the problem, could you send me a DAZ OBJ export of a Basic G8 Female (no morph)?
I will compare it with the mine and try to find out the cause of the difference.
Best Regards,
Dorian
Unfortunately it still doesn't work for me I follow your instructions but now always do it with Auto-Fit even if it can sometimes take a little while then load the obj with your software repair eyes and mouth here and export again with your software and follow your instructions normally.
For textures I use these instructions
And for the pose this source

I have been trying to trace why some can use the plugin while it fails for others. I have finally replicated the issue by using Blender in an Virtual Machine.
Same Blender version, Base PC, same OS just one virtual and one not. The root cause seems to be Blender is inconsistent bitch...
So one of the steps we do is Subdivide the Source Model, this provides more vertices and helps smooth the mesh for conversion. Blender is not creating the same vertex order when you use the subdivide function.
So say you have a G8 source:
Stock is 16,560 verts
We subdivide and new verts are created:
New model has 262,513 verts
Blender is not consistently creating the verts in the same order on different systems.
I am still deciding what I can do to work around this issue. I may just give up using subdivision, it helped smooth the transfers but slows transfers down and makes the database larger. I would have to recreate every characters data from scratch thou so FML
