Description
So, I converted Karina from G2f to G8F. Which isn't as smooth a process as the script makes it out to be. Also, if you do this and notice that the eyelids look all wrong, let me save you some trouble: Add a smoothing modifier to the character. Fixes it right up.
I also needed to go in and tweak the lips and cheekbones just a bit.
Then what was left was to select a suitable skin. I didn't have any that really match Karina's skin tone, so I wound up using Evlin's skin, and adding some freckles. The end result isn't QUITE what I had with the G2 version, but I like it. And now I can dress her in anything I've got, mwahahahaha!
Which in this case, is the Verna Fae boots and neck piece and the Regal Captain pants, shirt, and jacket. I hid the neck piece on the Regal Captain shirt. So, while I like the outfit of the original, I figure a respectable sheriff should wear pants. I also found her a sheriff's star in the freebies, so... overall? I think it's an improvement! You can find the "original" in my gallery if you dig a little.

Fantastic work. For her sake, I hope that enormous gun doesn't kick too badly!
LyleAryn
She's learned how to handle the recoil. Plus the weight helps. Thanks!

Nice character, really big gun! Maybe the steam will help with the recoil. Great work!
LyleAryn
Thanks! I figure both the steam and the weight of it.

Very nice! But it must be annoying to have to carry that gun all the time in your hand.
LyleAryn
Yeah, If I had one complaint about this gun, is the lack of a holster for it. She usually keeps it stowed on her buggy, and carries a holdout.

What a BIG gun, awesome scene.
LyleAryn
Yes. And she isn't compensating for anything other than recoil.

Typical great work - yes converting had to have been a lot more work than usng a pose adaptor from G3 to G8....was worth it, though :)
LyleAryn
I keep buying the scripts, but none of them work without a fair bit of work afterwards. But, it's a start, and I agree. The end result is pretty awesome.

pretty woman who likes to handle big guns , well done
LyleAryn
Yep! Needs a big gun when the steer in those parts is 25 feet tall and has six legs!

Well, your efforts certainly paid off, good sir. She looks fantastic! And daaaaaamn! That's quite an artillery piece she's toting! Sweet work!
I might try some of those tricks someday - if I can ever get DAZ working again...
LyleAryn
Thank you! And I wish you luck in solving the Daz issues. I know a while back I had a problem whose only solution was to reinstall windows entirely. Not fun.

Excellent
LyleAryn

v.cool character ...The mind rather boggles at the concept of a steam handgun!
LyleAryn
It does, doesn't it? I'm glad you like her.

LyleAryn
It's a relic, and Kari puts it to good use! Thanks, and happy New Year to you as well.

This is a technical and artistic success for sure. Where in the world did you find a tutorial on taking G2 to G?. Had i of been around DAZ that long, I am sure that I would have G2 char's just aching to get air-time in a G8 world. Well done.
LyleAryn
Well, first I used the converter from RSSY. Then I figured out how to fix everything the converter did not convert. Lol. No tutorial, per se. But there was an odd issue with the eyes that just needed me to activate the smoothing modifier to fix.

Great Image!!! I hope you had a wonderful Christmas and a Happy New Year!!! :-)
LyleAryn
Thank you! You too, my friend. Hope you are doing well.

Nice job! That is one big ass gun though...
LyleAryn
It is. I did not scale it at all, either, Thanks for the look.
