Genesis 9 Coming?

The RED Crown

G8.2 = improve Bend arms and legs plus flex Muscle .

G8.1 + G8.2 if exist = G9 .

Wouldn't be surprised to see 8.2 first too.  Meebee depends on how much they were able to develop alongside regular products, which in turn depends on how DAZ is doing in general.  Hopefully very good.

One thing is sure though: the first 9th generation figure should be Cat 9. I mean, a Cat figure is looooong overdue, and it'd be nice and fitting with cats having 9 lives and all that. I definitely won't be interested in yet another dog for the next 20 years.

Dread that G9 will have real soft body physics in some form finally (which is actually super awesome and eagerly awaited!).  But flipside, or the dread, is that my G8 investments are not compat because of new bone architecture and probably new skinning, which would take too much fiddling, or worse yet.  Anyway just a worry, and not a fact.

Likely, would prefer option to pay a big price for a s/n based plugin tied to DazStudio that lets me upgrade my G8 family as opposed to waiting years for all the new figure options and toolsets to emerge.  But am probably just dreaming here.  Never hurts to say though

You can get a soft body effects on g8.x with different techniques like mesh grabber or even pulling it into Blender and sculpting a morph, the problem is that some areas the poly resolution is real low and without access to HD you can't always apply what you need exactly. Even mesh grabber refuses to actually work at anything but the Base Resolution.

FYI: My wish is for way easier soft body physics.  Like realtime & real thing.  Not slow work-arounds like we have now.  Even spring dynamics plugin is not real-time.  But it does recognize any weighted custom skinned bones.  Which is start.

Make my own custom morphs in the super-fast hex>Daz bridge.  Works way faster and better for me than mesh grabber.  Have used mesh-grabber twice for geografts as Hex can't properly display.

There's been a lot of sales lately, deep discounts on current products.

Does this mean Genesis 9 is coming out soon?

I hope not!

G1 was perfect, G2 was acceptable, G3 was barely usable and G8 totally unusable... I can't imagine how G9 could be with this trend!

...that too, but sadly it will likely have dForce strand based instead of LAMH fur (the latter looks much more real).
