Not finished, but Interesting to see the changes.

I can't find good official material about Genesis 3, Victoria 7 or Michael 7.

    Nice work finding those images... it's really hard to find a comprehensive history of DAZ, just lots of vague snippets here and there... 21 years and it seems like researching ancient Egyptian podiatry is easier.

    I hope this helps you get started. laugh

    Thank you GiGi_7 for the walk down memory lane.

    I think that Genesis 3, Victoria 7 and Micheal 7 will be a bit miffed for being left out of the list..

    Very cool!

    I only joined this world at the tail end of Genesis 2, so it's fascinating to see the earlier stuff.

    I’m a little frustrated that I can’t find official images of Victoria 7 and Michael 7 that aren’t the same as the promos on their product pages.

    I even got a promo of Victoria 1 and Michael 1 as a couple and none of the generation 7.

    These were the first promos for V7 (June 23rd 2015) and the first for M7 (November 17th 2015) but sadly I don't have a "this is Genesis 3" type annoucement image.

    Ahh k, I wondered why makes one wonder why Genesis 2 and Genesis 8/8.1 got so much fanfare but Genesis 3 did not..

    It seems that there was no big announcement for the Genesis 3 base figures.  This is what I found from something written in June 24, 2015

    Some readers may be wondering: “What?! I only have Genesis 2, where do I get Genesis 3?” Good question — none of the Victoria 7 DAZ Store pages have any indication of how you get Genesis 3. The latest version of DAZ Studio states clearly that it only ships with Genesis 2. DAZ’s main Genesis 3 information page has no links to any G3 downloads or product.

    So the process of getting G3 seems a real mystery. It took me 40 minutes of searching until I found the following aside, buried in a Forum thread:

    “You can select it [the new G3 Female icon] in your Library [inside of DAZ Studio 4.8 beta only] then click the Download & Install button”

    The same observation was made in an article from the same source written on November 17, 2015.  In both cases the articles were written after the official launch dates of Vickie and Mike 7 as cited my @MelanieL.  The low key rollout of the Genesis 3 base may be the reason why there was no big announcement. @Ghosty12  do you have a link or image to the Genesis 3 promo page?

    ...and G3 is where I stopped at as it just got too exhausting both financially and work wise to keep retooling every 2 years and rebuilding my stable of characters.  Had no Idea G8 was going to last almost 4 years. Seems in some ways we've come full circle to the Gen4 days with G8.1. 

    Wondering when G8.2 will appear. wink

    Here is a part of the original Genesis 3 promo blurb from way back in 2015.. It will be six years since the release of Genesis 3 next month..

    I was able to successfully rescue components with transparency with the dates given in the files that MelanieL kindly uploaded. But in the case of Michael 7 all the content at 2015-11-17 disappeared. This has also happened with Michael 8, of which only the main promo image remains, while all Victora 8's promos remain. Fortunately I can crop from the supplied image where Michael 7 is on a monochrome background.Definitely the queen here is Victory.
