    I also played with the Squishy Human morph, and wasn't too impressed...too many dforce explosions.  Hopefully if Gen 9 is going to incorporate soft body, they take that into account.

    I still seriously think that this all hinges on nVidia's big announcement tomorrow.  Features have been leaked about the 4000 series cards, and new innovations to Geforce in general.  Some rumours have been leaked online about some of the capabilities of the cards, though nothing is set in stone till Jensen takes the stage tomorrow.

    Though, if there were some breakthroughs in some aspects (real time ray tracing capabilities, better physics, etc), dollars to doughnuts developers such as Daz, Autodesk, etc were all given the specs and development cards to work with so they could create fancy new software to go along with the new cards.  After all, you don't want groundbreaking technology out there with nothing able to support that technology. Games and apps are probably already set to be dropped after tomorrow that will use the 4000 cards to their full potential.

    This is just wishful thinking, I guess...but could you imagine the power of Daz being able to utilize real time ray tracing?  Creating iRay images would be as quick as creating filament draw images.  Animations would take hours or minutes instead of days.

    Well, in that case, I'd have to stick with my 'humble' 3080 and Studio 4 for several more years. And probably get a new card in time for Genesis 12.

    My bet is on NVIDIA Curves and Fibers for Strand Based Hair.

    This is already in the current versions, as I understand it.

     It is in the 4.20.1.78 Beta for sure. I don't have the 4.20 release installed.

    (Edit: Well, fibers for hair when tessellation is 0, anyway, I don't know what curves are.)

    Then, it would be great if someone figured out how to work with curves and fibers inside DAZ Studio and share the knowledge. It will surely attract more DAZ Studio users and buyers wink.

    I've only seen a reference in the change log and some forum discussion.

    They are the same - curves is the more generic term, and I think formally correct, but fibres tends to be used in the context of hair and fur.

    I rather hope it's not G9; I have more fugures, male and female, than I have any rational use for - with clothing and poses to match. So a new G9 would have to have earth-shattering improvements for me to even consider looking at it.

    Jaw dropping... They've written complete manuals for the latest versions of Bryce, Carrara, Daz Studio and Hexagon.

    Though myself I think it's Genesis 9 (with or without DAZ 5.0), let me have a fantasy of:

    DAZ Creature 1.0 with a unique liquid evolution system. With a "creature embrio" to be a kind of basic genesis figure. It can be evolved to any animal including DAZ Horse 3.0 (or was it 8.0?) by means of "evolution" sliders. ;)

    Nice fantasy! I would like 'Daz Creature'! Better than the 10. Genesis release...

    Hm. what about "We have doubled our service team, and we hired a professional to support our dear DAZ user community. Our new Chief Communication Officer is already keen getting in contact with as many of you as possible."

    Going hard on selling Gen 8 characters in todays sale. So maybe Gen 9?

    It's definitely 5. I went by the PA Forum, and one of the PAs has been frantically updating plugins. It looked like as many as 10. (Most of which I own, so yay!)

    There have been several days where NOTHING came out but catch-up sales. They always do that kind of thing when they're about to drop a new version. I've been a Daz customer since Mike 2, which I think I bought a CD for. Dayam, I am OLD. This also might explain why there has been no technical service in months -- everybody has been trying to get 5 up and running. (Though that last may be pure speculation.)

    Anybody remember the Poser Dork? Posette you could kind of do something with, because porn. But the Dork was the ugliest looking thing. Just hideous. I did covers even then, so when I took one look at Mike 2, I bought him, and a CD of his clothes and hair. I think V2 was on there too. I had to have everything on CD because I got hit with computer viruses so often, I'd lose my hard drive and have to reinstall my Poser library from disks. You downloaded, but dialup took forever to download, and I did backups on CDs

    That's actually a good shout with the Daz announcement coming the day after NVIDIA GTC where the 4000 series is going to be revealed .. So it will be interesting to see what Jenson pulls out of his oven later today and how that could relate to Iray .. eyes and ears open everybody!

    Holy smoke!  I thought that was just me!  I'm glad - in a sad kinda way - that I'm not the only one who deals with this.  It's a small thing but annoying as #@%.  Kinda like that small pebble in you shoe you can't find or shake out.

    I remember Dork explaining the lessons by Dr. Geep.  Still have Dork and Posette taking up disk space. Dork and Posette talk about the old days walking the halls between meetings.

    Perhaps the big announcement will be that Daz 5.0 will no longer support the legacy rigging of Dork and Posette (and V4...)

    Someone really named a character Dork? laugh

  • SnowSultanSnowSultan Posts: 3,637

    Nah, it's just what people started calling the P4 Male after Michael came out. Posette and Dork, the Poser 4 people.

    Posette and Dork were nicknames given by poser users. Their official names were something like "Poser 4 Male" and "Poser 4 Female".

    Don't remember anymore, which version of Poser was the first one for me, whether it was Poser 3, 2 or even one, but I do have a faint recollection of having figures with clothing built in (all in one mesh) at some point and others that had clothing painted on the figure.

    The very first 3D figure that I saw, was a clay rendering of a anime figure done in 3D Studio maybe around 94-95
