    so they prioritized everything backwards. indecision

    There's never any real incentive to pre-order anything in truth .. to me - preorders should have had access to it yesterday and everybody else later then any issues could have been sorted but still give time to those who've spent $$$ to get their hands on it first .. but I suppose, once they have your money, they don't care anymore.

    A YUGE +1 to this.

     

    So if I didn't give Daz my money about a month ago, I could have simply bought V9 this morning and been rendering her now?  Wow, what an incentive to pre-order again.  frown 

  • Nothing in my DIM nor in my account manual downloads.

    I preordered at day one and it works, so maybe it has nothing to do with preordering.

    Character looks great but the bundle... apparently women only wear skimpy swimsuits and bedroom leather outfits. Can V9 be dialed up for being pregnant and include a maternity outfit? Maybe a business suit for a professional look? You know, stuff that women normally do and wear? I'm not female so maybe it's me, for all I know girls grow up dreaming of becoming strippers and porn stars, not doctors or lawyers...? Nice character, nothing new to go with it.

    When you add a pic to your post, image properties dialog will give you its width and height

    If width is bigger than 800 then manually change the value to 800 that it's resized to fit the forum rules (height should adjust accordingly).

    Hello everyone and happy launch day to Genesis 9 and V9!

    I have written a tutorial on how to use your previous gen hair items with custom rigging on Genesis 9 - https://www.deviantart.com/toyen-art/journal/Tutorial-How-to-Fit-Poseable-Hair-to-Genesis-9-933611835

    I believe many people might find it useful! Happy rendering!

    Thanks but it's not really that simple since just loading G8 takes about 45 minutes with all my morphs and I often change my mind, trying different hairstyles and hair colors. I really hope a PA creates a simple solution! 
     

    I haven't tried V9 yet but I played around with G9 and like a lot of it except the fact that there's NO SURFACE SELECTION FOR LIPS! One of the first things I usually do is add a bit more shine to lips and often alter the color of the lipstick or add a bit of color to bare lips. This seems impossible with G9! This is going to be a big problem for me as well as the hair issue. 
     

    I'll probably get the bundle and I actually like everything in it, and morphs/expressions when it comes out but unless these two issues are fixed, I can't see using G9 female much although the male seems fine and won't require shiny lips or bones in short hair. I own so many great G8 characters as well as G3 and older, I can't see buying into this unless there's an easy way to transfer morphs and textures to G9 as well as hair fits and a way to change the lips. Hoping PAs come out with all this but I have enough older content to last 5 lifetimes!

    Well I was dead set against buying into G9 but then I saw the promo for the makeup product https://www.daz3d.com/victoria-9-hd-makeup  
     

    I'm on an iPad and I zoomed in as close as possible on the eyes and lips and it really looks as realistic as a magazine ad! The main thing about previous generations was the lack of realism in the eyes, eyelashes, and the way some lipsticks had a sharp line and looked fake. There's no way I can invest a lot into G9 but I might end up getting the V9 bundle after all & the morphs/expressions when they come out. I'm sure a PA or maybe DAZ itself will come up with a clone for clothes. In the past I've done mostly non-realistic heavily postworked art anyway, but lately I've been getting into realism and G9 so far does seem more realistic. Most of the promos for DAZ Original core G8.1 characters look awful with that PBR plaster looking skin but the renders I've seen so far V9 and the makeup product skin look amazing! I'm wondering why they couldn't have had similar texturing on G8.1? Have they changed something in the PBR texturing? 

    Does this mean that for G9 make-up options are not included in the base figure but have to be purchased separately?

    G9 is looking more and more expensive if that is the case.

    Nothing in my DIM either for V9 Bundle itmes to include V9.

    Did you miss the oot 10 in 1 basic clothing and the mango movement which is exercise gear? Both are definitely things that women normally wear.

    I heard some people complaining about the hands but idk, I think they're pretty good

    At first I thought the Mango Movement was just poses. Was pleased to see it was clothes.

    Well, I broke out a G8 character for comparison, which left me wondering how sunny Daz thinks the Scottish highlands are.

    Yes no surface for lips and that is great, no extra texture space, no bad rims anymore. what you want is not impossible, you can still create your own surface for the lips and get bad rims

  • I'm pretty impressed after my first Daz session with Victoria, I really feel a step forward in realism as a general impression when I look at her in my scene. Well done Daz!!!

    I find weird they didn't put details on HD parts as promo images. I would like to see details on fingers, knees, face, etc... without textures. With Genesis 8 and 8.1, I always used HD morphs instead of normal maps (it's using less VRAM) and I would like to see if I could do the same with Genesis 9.

    Please anyone checked what is the quality of HD morphs ?

    @Imago

    According to  a post& vdeo By WendyLuvsCatz (over on face book,)

    you can still use the Genesis 8.1 DMC on G9 for mimic animation. 

  • Well, I broke out a G8 character for comparison, which left me wondering how sunny Daz thinks the Scottish highlands are.

    She's Scottish, so of course she has freckles and red hair. All seems totally authentic so far, so I'm sure the sunshine thing is 100% accurate too.

    Really Daz? Really?!?!? Nice stereotype, there. This blonde, non-freckled Scottish girl's eyes seem to be stuck on auto-roll. Maybe for V10, look beyond characters in The Simpsons for inspiration.

    I'm pretty much 50/50 Scottish and Swedish and I have dark brown hair, dark brown eyes, and no freckles. People actually tend to assume I'm Italian. Even my 100% Italian husband assumed I was Italian when we first started dating (lol). So yeah, totally get the frustration.

    Mods, can we merge these this thread with Victoria 9 - what a beauty - Page 2 - Daz 3D Forums

    Don't mind which into which, this was up first but the other has more posts. Would just be nice to have all test renders in the same place ^-^ (and uh, all the complaints too I guess)
