Could someone who has her please confirm whether or not she uses Victoria 8 UVs?

I don't have her but Victoria 8 uses Base Female so I assume Daz has dropped the multiple UV sets of the past generations which makes our lives easier :)
I hope so, cause I really like her. And that's what I thought too, but some of the characters for V8 explicitly say they use the Genesis Base UV and others don't.
Probably best to take the jump and get her; I can always return her after all.
Yup! She uses Base Female UV's. Daz made the terrific decision to do away with separate UV's. *___* I think they'll only do it for extreme shapes, but who knows!
The "Products Required" also says that you need Genesis 8 Female Body Morphs for Benita, but you don't, just so you know. (But I did put that in the written description :) )
Oh, thanks, that is good to know! I do have the Body Morphs, so that wasn't an issue:)
Looking forward to getting out of the office and getting her!
Now, Saiyaness really knows how to do promo renders. If the renders for O8 were nearly this good, I'd already have bought. I think I have just about every Saiyaness character in my wishlist that I don't already own.
I don't buy characters any more that don't use base, which is handy as none appear to now. I can understand different UVs for massively different shapes, but am still dubious as to how essential, as the textures are painted once the shape is dialled in.
I've decided to get Benita for the texture, more than the shape, which I consider a bonus; I rarely buy characters now, but if they offering something different, then I always consider.
Lets face it, for characters, nose in the centre, eye either side, and a mouth below the nose - can only be so different; the main differences I look for, are good and interesting textures. I got fed up of merchant resources; the info doesn't say, but the character doesn't look like they're made from a merchant resource. :)
Agree, they look fantastic.
I LOVE this character and plan to get her soon as possible :).

What does she look like sans Victoria 8? Not that I have any morph packs either yet... but at least planning to get those eventually.
Do the make ups show in the previe window or are the invisible like v8 and the base figure's are?
I have to say that Saiyaness is one PA who really listens to what the customers want. She's got the uneven eyebrows going on as well as skin imperfection. Her work truly is remarkable.
Yes, they show up for me.
She looks glum in all the promos,and I'd like to see how she reacts to a larger range of expressions. Can she smile? Does it look OK?
What I liked instantly was that she's not that sweet, little, cute girl, we get so much... but a woman. And then I saw her skin and liked her even more :)
She's the closest thing to a native american woman I've seen yet.

The only issue I've had with Benita (just bought) is that she seems to render paler than she does in your promo pics. I noticed this for Kaeko too. Is there something wrong with my lighting?
EDIT: I've played around with the lighting some more, and yes, it was my fault.
But another question: What hair did you use for your promo pics?
I dislike the default smile G8/V8 has so I let gravity do its thing. I also just find smiles really creepy. Most expressions are creepy. Here's some expressions on Benita!
I highly recommend anyone on any character take advantage of all the lip morphs (and teeth morphs, jaw morphs) to find a smile that works for YOU. But smiles are still creepy though.
I'm glad you figured the lighting out. If you're tinkering with SSS colours or whatnot, I'm sure the skin colour will change too, but I always try to get the skin as close to her actual texture colour as possible.
The hair is Reyna Hair by AprilYSH and I used it to death. :p
Here's how she looks without V8. She looks a bit odd. It's pretty rare I want to do a character for an official figure, but I wanted to take advantage of V8's modelling.
Thank you for providing the additional images. I'm going to buy her.
And so I did go right to the store, and I did buy her. Here is the basic figure. I haven't played with all the options yet.
Edit: Replaced image with one with a more flattering focal length.
Question: The Vellus Hair has a morph called Benita Morph, but it loads with value 0%. Should it be loading at 100%?
I love this character. Benita and some dial spins :) Not a complete render, obviously...still cooking.

She looks worth it even without V8. Good thing the month's about to flip over...
Wow...looks great all around. I don't have the V8 head and body morphs, yet. Is this still a good buy? I do have V8.
I would love Saiyoness to do that sweet, cute girl, if she would do one in her realistic style. I like the cute girls...but would love one that looked "real." I find that I have to keep dialing back the pixie effect on most of the existing teen models to get something that looks like an actual girl. Some of the teens are like little adults and some are more cartoony. I do like some in those styles. But, I have tons of them and would like something more "Saiyoness." :)
I would have loved for Saiyoness to do the new Olympia. Who knows? We might have actually gotten a Greek goddess that looks...err..."Greek."
Would probably be a bad idea, since hairs can be used on a lot of different characters it's better to keep the basic settings neutral to avoid complications.
That's coming along nicely. You have inspired me to twirl some dials and see what I get.
I've wanted a believeable Native American for a long time ;). Some of the ones in the store are nice, but they look like dark skinned caucasions ;). Not exactly what I was affter. LOL

I think you are getting the result you want. I'd enjoy seeing your final image when it is done.
