    I don't get the Julia 9 Teen addon. If it's just skin and normals, what does it have to do with Julia 9? They don't even use the Julia 9 model for advertising it, which is somewhat misleading to consumers.

    I was also perplexed by this. I don't understand why the two skin add-ons list Julia 9 as a requirement, they certainly do not need her morph. Do the skins use part of Julia's skin?.

    It uses Julia's :

    • Specular Lobe 1 Roughness
    • Normal Map (it seems only the acne mats have their own head normal map, all the others fall back to Julia's)

     

    i guess I can drop those two from my cart too. Or can they work wih another g9 skin? like the base skins?

    Can't see why not - it's essentially just diffuse and subsurface scattering maps, + the acne head normals.

    Julia G9 Teenified
    I just saw that her right thumb goes into her left hand on the first one :(

    Here's a render of the Julia Teen Freckled skin in 8K (saved as jpg with 95% quality to make size managable for some people..) on the left.

    2nd pic on the right (or below depending..) uses the regular Julia G9 freckled skin as a comparison. Nothing was changed beyond that, and the fingers position was adjusted so they do not poke into another unlike in the first pic..


    Morphs

    • 70% Julia
    • 50% Julia HD details
    • 30% Josie
    • 100% Josie Proportions
    • 100% Breasts Small

    Materials

    • Applied Julia's materials
    • Applied Julia's Teen freckled materials

    You seem to have to apply some other materials prior to the teen ones as they do not map the nails whatsoever (white texture - same behavior with angela's teen materials). Other than that it seems to load the needed Julia G9 / Base G9 normals mix.

    While I do not like the current Josie incarnation by itself, I find it very useful to make some characters appear younger. Obviously there are morphs meant for that, but I find Josie's own morph to work very well for it. The G9 skin details (8K normals) look good but are very sandpaper-ish.

    I also find it weird they didn't include some morph that could be applied on top of Julia to go along with the skin. This whole release is weird. Julia herself does not look like a teenager whatsoever, so why the skin but no morph? Missed opportunity there.

    The skin differences when opening the textures seem that there's some blur going on for the teen version, above the skin / moles, but below the freckles. Not sure how elese to explain it, but everything seems a bit more blurry when zoomed in. It's mostly noticable around the navel where you can see the very faint hair being blurred. The other differences are smaller areolas, and slight different skin tint overall.

    Hey I went back to highschool at 26 with the regular kids to get my advanced highschool credits (Grade 13 here in Canada while they still had one) I did that to kill a year before going to college to get my Technology diploma at 30 and I started gaming in my 50s so I can buy the backstory...lol

     The looks of these lassies are such a cut above typical past DAZ 3D fare, they are beautiful, but in a very understated, naturalistic way. I love their looks.

    Here's a ridiculous problem.  The person creating Julia's normal maps forgot to either erase the nipple from the map (like every other core character), or create a set of maps for male nipples.

    As a result, my hitman character is now a human/cow hybrid. laugh

    I've been playing a bit with her. Her out of the box body proportions aren't the best but with the teen body morph option for losing neck weight and the several options if you add the make-up and skins I think is a win win.

    1. Using the hair of the gamer bundle (I like her better with the Taylor hair shown in the promos) and some geoshells

     

     

    2. With that combo 50% Julia  50% Victoria. Teen Skin and some body morphs. A bit noisy, I was impatient. blush

    I'm less and less impressed with Julia. She seems to look best when mixed with Kaylee or Victoria, or as a guy.

    I agree that's weird! But if you enable the HD normal maps, that problem goes away, because it removes the normal map and only used the "detailed normal map" section in the surfaces.

    I looked at other core G9 characters which does not create this issue - and there's only one body normal map that comes with them but there's no nipples on them.. so yeah they should update it. I guess file a bug?

    We could pretend that he just has a really uncomfortable ingrown hair. I haven't had a chance to check this out on myself, but it might be worth just filing a ticket to make sure the Daz team knows about it.

    Julia comes with a body morph or is that from something else?

    I used the teen morphs in both of them. It's a different product.It softens the bulky G9 chest. And body morphs from the G9 essential pack. Cheers.

    I like that hair on her. Very cool.

    If you apply the detail normal maps it doesn't remove the other ones. Or it shouldn't.

    It seems to do it on every G9 core figure I have when you enable the "Normal Map HD"

    Normal Map HD turns off the normal Map since you are using the HD morphs and that would "double up" the effect. Normal Map default means you are using the standard figure and the Normal Maps help the details come out. But the details normal map is in a different channel.

    Is it just me or does she look Barbra Streisand-inspired around the mouth? Shame about the tiny nose, though.

    That's IT! I knew she was familiar just couldn't place her. Of course I remember Streisand from her early movies and vinal albums.  

    So recently my YouTube feed is showing this shorts of a gamer girl called LovelyLo and I definitely sure she's the inspiration for Julia 9.

    This is fantastic. I definetely have to buy Pixie. I was with a lot on my plate when I skipped her.

    Is it just me or does anyone else have a real problem with the way Pixie's nose is attached to her face (especially between the eyes)? The brand new gal's nose has the same "look". I just do NOT like it at all and have never seen a person whose nose attaches to their face like that or even an anime character that does (and yes, I realized these are stylized characters). It just looks really weird.

    I noticed it too, and I passed on Pixie and Kiri. However, I have seen a person with a similar nose bridge.

    Angela 9 HD Teen Skin Add-On is literally that, another skin, no further morphs? I'm having a hard time believing the promo shots for A9 Teen Skin don't have additional head/mody morphs, too.
