It's totally my fault but I bought the "Natural Bundle" (https://www.renderotica.com/store/sku/65126_Natural-BUNDLE) thinking it would work on G8F/M, but found out afterwards that the "Natural Trans Women" and "Natural Trans Men" only work on G8.1F/M :(


Is there any way to make them work on G8F/M, or is it impossible?

I don't own it but these seem to be set up for the genital grafts products.

For Strand Hair or Fibermesh:
- Genital portions:
The Golden Palace and Dicktator meshes at least haven't changed with 8.1 I don't think. So, unless a script is blocking you. You should be able to load it directly to, load it solo then reparent, or load to 8.1 then reparent to 8 (why you would want to do this rather than update the character to 8.1 IDK).

Strand Hair/Fiber Figure portions:
The Meshes remain the same for 8 and 8.1 figures below the neck (I think only the eyelashes changed mesh wise). So unless blocked by script definitions they should load fine, otherwise load solo off of figure, or on assigned compatible figure, then try to reparent.

For any Shader/Materials portions:
The G8.1 Figures UVs are slightly different G8 "Torso" has been split into "Head" and "Body" on G8.1s. A manual copy paste of the Body to Torso (or Torso to Body depending on your UV set) in the surfaces tab should copy the materials over to the correct mesh location. As that portion of the figure mesh hasn't changed, its only displayed with additional subdivision by default.

Getting the color to match may be another challenge, as you may need to load or unload the PBR Skin Shaders between the 2 figure versions.
(*Note: as long as your character was for G8 the Morphs and Uber Iray (with Basic UV) will load to G8.1. So depending on the situation, it may be easier to load the Character and Materials to 8.1 then load the Hairs to the already compatible 8.1)

Hope that all was understandable and helps you out.

Fibermesh and strand-based hair are different in many ways. SBH is actually dependable on surfaces and those are actually different in 8.1, so the SBH products can only be fitted to the figure that they are made for otherwise if you try to fit them to something else an error will pop up. Parenting in this case is not really important, fitting however is. If the SBH is not fitted it will not follow the figure, especially the morphs, which in genital models is important.
With that said, I must ask what are you using it for exactly?
I mean if you are making a still render, you could first load the 8.1 with genitals and fit the hair, apply the pose and then load 8 with genitals and apply the same pose. After that you can just switch the visibility on your 8.1 while leaving the hair visible, that will leave the hair in the right position for your g8. I mean it's not the perfect solution but it is a possible workaround, for still render of course.

Hope that helps.
