Aside from the facial rigging for expressions the base rig from head to toe has not changed, so most of it works as expected. It’s possible that a script could be written which isolates and eliminates any head-based pose targets that aren’t the lower neck, upper neck, and head.

As for scripting, the rigging for the face in 8.1 is completely different, so there’s no way to just “convert” an expression except to attempt to mimic them on a case-by-case basis. In my testing I’ve found that many Genesis 8.1 poses work just fine (for example, Muscleman’s “Strong Love” poses for Genesis 8.1 works). This is also why scripts for geografts or geoshells which explicitly referenced Genesis 8 names had some issues until vendors updated those products.


Whether or not Genesis 8.1 content will work on Genesis 8 figures depends entirely upon if it includes expressions or if there is any scripting that uses explicit naming conventions for Genesis 8.1 features. 60 Full Pose Presets for Genesis 8 Female and 60 mirror poses, plus Default Pose to zero (reset) figure pose. The short answer: Some poses will work and some won’t.
