Does anyone know if [Beautiful Bends for G2F] the subject line product is still available? I can't seem to find it, but wanted to get it because I'm revisiting G2F/Gia 6 for some projects. I need to address her elbow bends a bit. Otherwise, I'm still enamored of her.

Doesn't appear to be, but there are these alternatives

Moved to the Commons as it is not a Daz Studio question.
I have that in my Product Library and there is no link to the store page, so no it isn't available I'm afraid.
Thanks for the alternate suggestions. I had been looking into Gia 7 and 8, but she's just not the same. She may as well be an entirely different character. I'm still thinking of converting Gia 6 to G8F, but haven't bought the converter yet. Meanwhile, if I could sort out some minor shoulder and elbow bending shortcomings with Gia 6, I might actually use her. Here she is, retextured with a PBR shader and a touch more muscularity, and rendered in Iray. To my eye, she's still got it.
I agree that G2 has some fantastic character and when converting MMD motion into BVH, the results work so much better when applied to G1 and G2. The bends in the shoulders and elbows do look horrible though. Hips and knees look pretty bad too with extreme bends.
I enthusiastically recommend anything from K.H.Image studio, they make some truly accurate anatomical JCMs and by anatomical, I don't mean the genitals!
UN is specifically for Vicky 6, though, right? Would I be better off in this instance getting Ideal Beauty with its Gia 6 add-on? Or maybe use RiverSoft's product to convert her to G8 and get it over with. I can't believe these tools for legacy figures are still so expensive.
By illustration, the image on the left is the one initially posted above. In the one on the right, however, I've added a slight bit of muscularity overall, and then adjusted Gia's coracobrachalis (proximal to her armpits) and adjusted the long head of her triceps to fill out the area above her elbows a bit. It's slight, but makes the bends more natural.
Most definitely, yes!
As far as muscles/flexion type of morphs, you would do well to snag Simon WM's Muscularity Morphs for Genesis 2 Female(s) as a companion morph package!
Yes, I'm already using that. That's how I tweaked Gia's muscularity/arms. Thanks.
Cool, and you're welcome!
