Sickleyield has very nice head morphs. For something different, look at Balletta Boogiedown by Tempesta3d, over at Renderosity.
Are you looking for just morphs or also skins?
Skins, mainly. I do have some morphs for the face, but yeah, mainly skins.
Oh, and I should have mentioned - I use DS so looking for good DS mats on them too. :D
Splendid, I shall compile my list within minutes...
I'm including those three figures in spite of you looking for Gen2F, because getting the skins to work isn't too hard.

+1 for this. I have had a very hard time finding a good supply of African, Indian, Native American, etc, skin textures.
So, those are the best DAZ textures I could find within a reasonable time limit. However, making your own African textures is something extremely rewarding.
Nice list cecilia, bookmarked a couple. Got any for outside of DAZ since I rarely buy characters here due to the incomplete (no nude) promo images.
FSMCDesigns, how can I show you the links? Obviously I can't post them here due to the policy (no commercial links). There is a free character with dark skin called ML Monja, look it up since all links to HW get removed because of the purchasables displaying on a carousel next to the freebies.
On RDNA, there's K4 Abena. Also, all for V4: MST Neroli, MST Merchant Resource SA, MST BB, Kimani, Abeje, Kayla, VYK Ecstasy, Anahi, EF V4 African Male, Miria, Hemavati, Desert Rose.
The other sites have a lot more textures for V4 than G2F. Vendor Reciecup on Rendo has quite a few V4 characters. I found a "Rasta Hair" there that might be useful. A few other V4 characters from Rendo that are nice:
A3D Kewe
P3D Ruby (Hallie Berry lookalike)
VYK Xhosa (a very dark skinned character)
Thanks Cecilia, i was under the impression that Chohole said links were ok if they were in answer to an inquiry.
Off to check out the RDNA ones.
MRL characters at rendo... she has a few very good dark skinned ones.
I forgot http://www.daz3d.com/janessa-for-victoria-4-and-genesis. If Chohole says it's OK to post links you asked for, I will when I have some time. As Slimer said, P3D and Recieup are musts (some characters are free).
Felicity HD from Raiya is excellent:
http://www.daz3d.com/felicity-hd-for-victoria-6
I don't use DS, but I can verify that she renders very well in Reality / LuxRender.
If you read the list, you can see her there. Any Raiya-made character is top-notch if you ask me.
Also reciecup, she has lots.
Reciecup's products are all on Rendo now. Her personal site (rendercandy) is gone. The freebies she hosted there do not seem to have a new home. Only Naeima is still available.

Surprised nobody mentioned Zamuelnow's thread Black Is Beautiful II He has an extensive list of characters and resources.
I have most of the V4 characters Cecilia listed. Some of the textures I've modified or done a mix-and-match with diffuse from one set and bump+spec from another set. Some of the sets I'm not so satisfied with. Janessa's skin looks too uniform to me. Marie and Leena have a lot more "character" in the skin, if that makes sense. I frequently use Dulce, Marie, and V3 Sanura converted to V4. I like Grace, but there's a strong cinnamon tone in her skin. I fiddled with it a lot to try to dial that back.

I can't recommend Cara HD enough, one stunning and very versatile texture, and if you own Amazing skins, you can even tweak her to get more variety with skin tones and specular styles (I used her skin in promo pics last month, but promo credits were missing on the store).

All freebies she made are at Poser Addicts - still free. To me, they are worthy of becoming paid products, but don't tell anyone :P.
A thousand times yes for Cara (and Raiya has good black male characters too). I wanted to mention looking in the "Black is Beautiful" thread if no one has mentioned it: http://www.daz3d.com/forums/discussion/368/ . Here is Cara...
Lol! Yes, I know about the wayback machine, but I forget it's there. Kind of like the mailbox at the end of the street. Thanks for refreshing the links.
just looking threw the lists proposed, and kind of got side swiped. G2F, FW Yasmin!?
http://www.daz3d.com/gallery/#images/29686
Isn't FW Yasmin a gen5 figure, not a gen6? I wish she was gen6, still very nice to have around for them roman like attributes she dose have at times, lol.
Myself, I still prefer let DIM put stuff in the computer, so shopping elsewhere is not something I look forward to, assuming the stuff functions at all with Daz Studio.
Wow, seriously? You are missing out on some great things. I would guess 2/3's of my shopping is done elsewhere, then again, I started out on poser and it's file structure and i don't use DIM.

lol. and about 2/3 of the stuff I find elsewhere that I would like, dose not function in Studio, if it loads at all. And when it dose, the shaders are a complete mess.

To date, there are only two things that Daz Studio has worked flawlessly with. ArchaeopteryxDR, and P3D Sandra. Sorry to be blunt, however most stuff sold elsewhere that claims to work in Studio, dos not. It's worse in the free area, from skirts and hair, to ships, even mayan pyramids, are no-go.

So needless to say. Having been threw that, Never Again. :coolmad:
To get back to the topic ... Jaki - look at the new releases ...
you started it ...
LOL
The new releases are overjoying. Off to investigate beyond the promos on the MM page.
