Why there is no good looking Genesis 8 Female?
in The Commons
I've been using Genesis 3 for a long time and I'm very happy with all the models/poses/clothes for G3. But when it comes to G8 everything seems to be great, poses and clothes, except for the models !! With all due respect all the G8 female models are just average to bad. Is it because G8 features and/or structures? I'm trying to find one to buy but I don't find a good enough looking model.
Is this just me? seriously I want to know because this is going on forever and I hate it.

Yes.
...To list a few.
beautiful! who is this character please ? thanks in advance
Ah one of my favorite quotes "Beauty is in the eye of the be(er)holder"
Define "good looking" ? There are quite a few G8 females in store that are very attractive.
Click on the image. I put a Link to each character with each image. :)
thanks a lot !
Those "models" you find so unappealing are just morphs/shapes
of the base figure made by someone other than yourself.
It is best to buy as many morphs packages as you can find, and
manipulate the sliders until you get a satisfactory result that meets your
personal standards
I rarely Buy "characters" except for a few unique/exceptional males Like Ivan HD and George HD.
However Daz studio has many built in tools to change the figure appearence to your liking
Do the work.
Well, as they sat "Beauty is in the Eye of the Beholder"; but. personally, I think Monique 8 is an exceptionally good looking model.
Well said, Diva

My G8 collection is growing at an astounding rate because there are so many gorgeous male and female characters!
You could always dial spin your own, or invest in mudbox or zbrush and make your own.
@akahandsome " I don't find a good enough looking model."
Nope, not a one. Mindie, Sharah, Meifen, Rumor (to add to the list)
I always tell myself that I will stop buying characters, but there are some very talented artists out there that just keeps making me buy their new characters. For each generation, including G8, I end up with so much characters that I don't even get a chance to use all of them before the new generation is rolled out. My new favorite, by Mousso, over at rendo.
Define "good looking" and maybe we can understand what you mean.
Nope, G8F has the same shape as G3F. Also, you can transfer your characters from G3F with minimal fuss.

I suspect it was reference to the Daz Originals that a lot of people didn't care for the looks of.
OP's statement was "With all due respect all the G8 female models are just average to bad".
Dude - you mean sexy? Models havent been sexy for years in RL why should they be in DS?
In general I agree though so I moph my own or add some of Zevo's curves. https://www.daz3d.com/zev0
Whether its what they wear or how they deform thier physique, it is just not sexy any more.

Yep I do the cooking for my wife :D
They could be talking about the DAZ G8 line though, some people don't consider other characters when they say "the G8s," "the G3s," "Generation 4," etc.
The G8s seem to get a lot of complaints in the forums about ugliness but personally while looking stylistically not too different from G3 they are much easier to use than G3 started out to be and stylistically look the same even though their geometry has changed to be more adult looking and less preteen waifish looking.
I see those figures as a private resource for mixing and matching anyway. You think, there is no beauty, then make your beauty. Simple as that.
Maybe a good question would be which G3 female is considered "good looking" by akahandsome.
People obviously have different opinions on what is "good looking"
I find all the Genesis 8 women to be exceptionally excellent. I'd like to see more "average" people, like George! MeMoo is good too! After all, there are more than beauty queens and male models in this world!
Well said!
I only purchase characters for the skin and occasionally for the head morph. have yet to see a character with a body morph I liked other than GND for V4, and even her I added other morphs to the mix.
I totally agree. Beauty is in the eye of the beholder. By using morph products and putting in the time, you will be able to spin your own custom characters that will scratch your digital itch, if you will. And, as a plus, your creations will mirror your own creative worldview!
That is true, btw, for every single generation of DAZ figures, be it Aiko3, Victoria 4, or any of the various Genesises.
Can I ask what Genesis 3 Characters you like? Maybe to get an idea of what you are looking for? (May also be more productive for PAs that may read the thread to help know better what you would like to see for Genesis 8) What is beautiful is different to everyone, so seeing what you find beautiful would help a lot I think if you are willing to share links to some of the Genesis 3 characters you love.
Browse through Lynoness, Fred Winkler, Godin's, Sabby's, Silver, Balladzines online store and you will see some amazing Genesis 8 Females.
If you prefer Genesis 3 just bring your favorite characters over with one of the morph tutorials. Then you can have the functionality of Genesis 8 with the look you like.
Some PA's make some good loking characters. But the initial DAZ releases were not. Victoria 8 and Olympia 8 come to mind. I mean, Victoria 8 doesn't even look human.
I couldn't disagree more. I think she's lovely! :)
Here she is with the base G8F skin:
And here's one of my favorite combos - Victoria 8 at 100% with Girl 7 mixed in at about 12%:
