Confused about what I need

Hello everyone.
I'm using DAZ basically like a creator for sketching/drawing dolls, make a figure, get it into the pose I want and use it as a base for drawing/illustrating by hand.

My problem is that I am limited in the ability to give the figures the proportions that I want them to have, hips, legs, chest, etc etc.
I don't really care which version Genesis it would be as long as I can fully control the figures. I don't even use hair, clothing or such.

So my question is ... What would I need to get, for whatever version, to be able to do this?

    The basic Head and Body Morph sets would probably meet your needs.

    For Genesis 8 (the latest model) you'll need Genesis 8 male body morphs and Genesis 8 female body morphs. This will give you the basics and it will get you quite far already. I'd recommend getting those first and play around with them, and only get further products if you feel you still need more possibilities.

    For the two previous Generations the equivalent products are called the same: Genesis 3 male/female body morphs and Genesis 2 male/female body morphs. They are all the same price, so why not go with the most recent model? Genesis 3 and 8 are very similar. I personally haven't worked with Genesis 2 but I heard the posing is a little less sophisticated.

    You could save a little bit of money by going even further back. For Genesis you'd need Genesis Evolution: Body Morphs. It covers both genders, so you'd have to get only one product and not two.

    The generation before Genesis would be Victoria 4 and Michael 4, the products you'd need are Victoria 4 Shapes++ and Michael 4 Shapes++. V4 and M4 don't come with the base program, but both figures and their morph packs sometimes show up in the freebie section. I wouldn't spend money on this generation, but if you're very patient/thrifty/desperate you could get it for free.

    Btw the above products are all just for shaping bodies. To shape faces you'll need Genesis 8/3/2 male/female head morphs.
