What I want is...a random character generator (just morphs will just do)
Yes, I KNOW someone has done such a thing, but the one in the shop is very limiting...not to forget, they just short of ignored doing a male version for Genesis 1

It might help if you explained how the existing option is limiting.
If you are willing to pay the commission on it, I'm sure 3D Universe who created the other randomizers would be more than willing to do one.
Genesis 1 doesn't have EITHER a male or female version. Genesis 1 is androgynous, or having an ambiguous sexuality . . . neither male or female. That's what V5 and M5 are for. Genesis 1 "out-of-the-box" has no sexual orientation at all.
I'm a Computer Science major at my University, but have literally no experience trying to make python scripts for DAZ Studio. Is there an API? Since it's a pay-service from 3D-Universe I would assume it's less trivial than just iterating over all the shaping morphs and giving it a random value?
Where would one read up on how to script for DS? How do the scripts hook into the program / what does it interface with? Is it just editing / parsing the text files that describe the character?
There is a DAZ Studio SDK available for script developers: SDK
That should get you started.
Thanks Jared! I'll check it out tonight. I doubt I'll be able to help you, Vata, but I'll give it a shot:)
Richard Haseltine just pointed out to me that I gave you the full SDK (which you may very well want). If you are just interested in scripting you may just need this:
http://docs.daz3d.com/doku.php/public/software/dazstudio/4/referenceguide/scripting/start
As a note DAZ Studio 4.6 doesn't use python scripting. Instead it uses a proprietary scripting language called DAZ Script II which is an extension of QtScript which is an extension of ECMAScript.
Yeah I hopped onto the docs page that is linked from the link you sent me. Apparently I have the SDK installed from when I originally downloaded 4.6. I'm vaguely familiar with QT from working with C++, but I've never heard of QTscript. Should be enlightening.

and that's where you're wrong

huh? yes, it straight out states only FEMALE verity comes out form it

But that's an add-on product, not Genesis "out-of-the-box" (see render below).
If the randomizer was what you were referring to, perhaps getting in touch with 3D Universe to see if he (I think it's a he) is interested in creating a male version of the randomizer as well may be the trick.
....I know Genesis 1 is an IT figure, but doesn't change the fact the randomizer that was made for it doesn't support a Male output
That randomizer is what I find limiting. It only make us of the basic morphs. But there are other morphs out there made.
It could easily be that what the GenX is and you input the morphs to transfer over
list the parameters you want to randomise using a filter if needed then give them random slider values.
there are many random number generators on the web you set limits for.
I've been known to write a pretty nifty code or two for the old Atari 2600, but I'm probably not the kind of programmer you're looking for.
