Where do we find these? It says they are free but doesn't say where to get them. Am I missing something?

It may refer to the new skins mats that were added to the Genesis 8 Starter Essentials that I just downloaded a few hours ago.
These are solid and I am happy they were added to the essential kit.
So we just re-install gen 8?
Yes
Very cool, thank you so much!
Additinaly to the Caucasian base skins (which were Michael 7 and Karen 7, I believe) we now also get the skins of Darius 7, Monique 7, Kalea 7, Kimo 7, Lee 7, and Mei Lin 7.
The UVs are all changed to 8.1.
I´m particularly excited about Kimo 7 beause I don´t have that many male brown skins yet.
And for the skins I already did have, it´s nice to have versions of them that use standard UVs.
Jinx!
Richard, can you merge please? Thanks!
Thank you! That is awesome!
Is it only for 8.1 or 8.0 as well and are they the PBR or Uber versions?
8.1 only; Uber shader
Thanks.
Where are these in the content library?
On the one hand, it's a little disappointing that that's all it is, but on the other, they didn't have to do that, so it's a nice addition to the basics. They are pretty good skins, after all, and I always appreciate more diverse options.
Thanks for nothing. Good that I did not download that update.
In the updated base content.
New and more inclusive / diverse options are always, always welcome!
I know that I would have been thrilled to have those extra options when I was just starting out.
which file path / folder
If they updated the UVs to 8.1's base layout, that's actually pretty cool... well, if you use 8.1, anyway.
The Genesis 3 base figures all have their own UVs, which can be a pain to deal with sometimes.

Done
Not gonna disseminate the content. You've got the file list.

Just real quick... Kimo´s skin on a tweaked Jonas.

thanks
Kalea, Mei Lin, and Monique seem to have some UV trouble around the iris/sclera.
Anyone else have the same problem?
Karen and the male skins look fine.
Thank you :-)
This is pretty interesting, and cool. Thanks for this.
But I am still a bit confused. Is the update only for the starter essentials, as in that is the only thing needed to download? What is this about Michael and Karen 7 mentioned later? Do we need to download them specifically or what?
I download everything manually, so I always see updates for all my products because they were never installed by DIM to begin with.
This is nice, but I wish the banner gave more details on what exactly was updated. The way it is worded makes it sound like all G8 core characters were given extra skin options.
they should had made it clear which was only for G8.1 because in the banner it's saying "for genesis 8 core base which would means genesis 8 too not just genesis 8.1 they need to fix the banner or the material because the promotion is missleading.
Are these included in the standard packages permanently, or do I have just one weekend to grab 'em?
Hallelujah!

It's not nothing. Remember those characters had custom UV maps...and I hated that about them. Just like Victoria 7. If they're anything like Victoria 7's skin that was converted to G8, then the skins should now use the base UV...which is a wonderful thing. Making my skin mashups will be oh so much easier.
I have noticed that when I load a G8F and then apply the materials, they do not load onto the torso. Or is this only for 8.1? *edit* Yup, it is.
