## Overview
XGen Spline Description transfer. Though it requires a bit of process, this tool simplifies the steps.

* **Please do a Deep Backup first**
* **Please make sure the "Sampling" is set to 'Interpolate' before using this tool. (See picture below)**
* **Topology** and **UV** of the old and new geometries must be the same.
* It’s highly recommended to use this tool to transfer from one growth geometry to another ‘**within**’ the ‘**same**’ XGen collection and in the same Maya scene.
* The transferred description can not be renamed, it will have to use the same name as the exported description name.
* **NOTE:** If you are experiencing ‘versioning’ of descriptions, for example, your have exported a description named “**groom\_des**”, but when imported onto the new growth mesh and it gets re-named to “groom\_des1” or “groom\_des2”, that means you have a “**groom\_des**” folder **somewhere** in your **Collections** folder. Please **rename** that folder so the transfer does not clash with the old folder.
* The tool automatically renames the old folder upon exporting. If you are transferring across Maya scenes or across different XGen collections, the above issue can happen.
* The growth mesh name needs to be the same between the old and the new.
* The tool will only transfer the baked .PTEX files to its associated folders, with the **TPU (Texel Per Unit)** entered. Unfortunately, if you have to edit the textures on the transferred geo, you will have to re-create the texture.
* After the groom is transferred, it will automatically connect to the **"lambert1"** material. Please assign your own materials afterward.
