I just want some decent damned foot morphs for this generation. The hands are beautiful but the feet are terrible! Beauty fingers and toes is needed for this generation!
All this generations models tend to look the same am i right?
Not really, the render style looks alike and that dominates what is noticed because seeing renders is not so typical. If one because really immersed in rendering than like different people in photographs being easy to recognize as different so would it be easier to recognize different models in renders. There are far fewer of them though so that is very limiting.
Depends who you talk to, and what your definition of same is; do you mean similar?
I didn't say I would know which was which, only that I can tell them apart; the main criteria of distinctive.
Of course it does;
As all those are subjective; what is appealing to one, is not to another; what is attractive to one, is not to another, and so on. The third one is less subjective, but still depends on how familiar one is with the geno-type; a caucasion, or any other ethnic type will find (as a rule) characteristics they have been exposed to the most easier to distinguish.

They state "Characteristic of one person or thing, and so serving to distinguish it from others." Differences can be subtle; twins, outside of their own close circle can be taken for identical - yet they are never 100% identical.
The fact something is more or less distinctive to you doesn't make it so; that again is subjective, and so open to opinion.
... All it needs to be is not literally identical.
(I'm going to guess that we're not going to agree, and so suggest we leave it as-is.)
edit
I mean, yes? Pretty easily? It might take a few extra seconds without textures? Strictly speaking I think Penny and Steph are a bit less interesting looking to me personally. Steph in particular I find pretty blandly pretty, But I could still identify her.
I have to say between the comments to the effect of "its impossible to tell figures apart" and some of the suggestions in the celebrity look-alike thread I cand decide if I'm overly exacting when I look at faces or a lot of other people aren't exacting enough
That Oxford definition is the definition of distinctive when applied to a characteristic of a person or thing, not when applied to the person or thing. No one said DAZ characters don't have distinctive qualities, only that a lot of them are not distinctive, i.e., they are not "easy to recognize because of being different from other people or things of the same type." As even you said, you are not sure you could tell which one was rendered without comparing to others. "Able to tell apart" is not the requirement for distinctiveness, only a single very slightly distinctive characteristic is required to do that.
"Differences can be subtle; twins, outside of their own close circle can be taken for identical - yet they are never 100% identical." As you've ably noted, twins are not distinctive compared to each other.
Well then, I'll render one of them when I get back home and if you can tell who it is without looking at other references I'll eat my words.
To me they don't look the same and it is fairly easy to change the looks
Penny 8 with https://www.daz3d.com/short-wet-hair-for-genesis-8-male-s-and-female-s
I find many of this generation Daz original base female models have large jaws and a tall strong look compared to the cuter look of gen 7.
Gen 8 also seem to be a bit older and often get secondary creases on their cheeks when they smile (look at the store pics of teen Josie 8)
Personally I find most gen 7 base models more attractive than their gen 8 equivalent but thats just me and others will have different ideals.
Obviously this doesnt apply to all gen 8 base models - Karyssa and Sakura are amazingly cute - and of course you can mix their cuteness in to the other characters.
Again, this can all be easily changed with some morphs and a few spins of a few sliders. It's like many users feel that what you buy is what you get and they seem to make a buying decision based on that alone and that is so far from the truth. I wonder how many users, if any have quite a few if not all the DAZ addon characters and yet don't have the basic head and body morphs
This is a really weird argument.
"I don't like buying characters that look the same."
"Well you can make them look different by adding other morphs you already bought."
How does that add actual value to buying two copies of very similar morphs? You can already change the one you have.
Do you have DOF turned on in your rendering camera? It looks like the focal distance is set incorrectly. Penny looks blurry to me here.
Oh I agree, I have all the DAZ 8 figures except that fairy one, I just don't think telling someone that if they think a character looks to similar to three or four that they have it's fine because they can morph it is going to convince anyone.
My point is that we keep seeing comments that they all look a certain way and it's not to their liking, then change it. the beauty of the DAZ addon characters is that you get some finer details that the normal DAZ morphs don't have, I get that. But if a user doesn't like penny's lips, or her eye size/shape, or her nose, they are not stuck with that as many comments seem to deplore and it's an easy fix in most cases.
Fair.
I think I agree, if the complaint is to same'y/looks dial spun than saying so dialspin is a bit silly. I think the "so dial spin" kneejeck comes from seeing a lot of complaints like "the jaws to big" (often phrased pretty rudely, although not in this thread thankfully) and after a while I just want to scream "THERES LITERALLY A DIAL CALLED JAW SIZE"
Okay, for all you who can recognize Victoria, Olympia, Stephanie, and Penny at a glance, I'm curious. Who's who? Can you tell without looking back at promo shots or digging into your own runtime? (I can't do this even a little so I'll be highly impressed.)
Eyebrows, eyelashes, hair and eyes are all addons and always the same. Makeup was chosen by a random number roll. Camera focal length is always the same. Morph is always either V8, O8, S8, or P8 at 100%.
Let me try! :D
Penny
Stephanie
Olympia
Victoria
Maybe it's me but the skin could use a little more detail. But overall, I think she's rather alluring... I call her my 'Pretty Penny'. ;)
I only own Victoria out of all these and even I'm not sure which one is her - number 4, I think. I'd say that three was very definitely Stephanie and Penny is possibly number 1, which makes number two Olympia.
Oooh the angles and makeups (and stupid daz sss settings) make it more of a challenge but think Victoria, Stephanie, Penny, Olympia?
edit 1 and 3 are the hardest imo I think I'm switching to penny, steph, vicky, olympia
I'm not good at this at all either and don't even own but one of them so far (I tend to favor G8F unmorphed as I like her average good looks):
1) Stephanie
2) Olympia
3) Penny
4) Victoria
I didn't look at other's statements of who's who so I wasn't influenced by that. The one I feel surest about is Penny is at number 3. I felt she was clearly meant to be more old style Hollywood pinup and it shows.
Same character with different make-ups/angles
This is fun
I'm going to guess:
1 Victoria
2 Stephanie
3. Olympia
4. Penny
Okay big reveal time.
Ah, but who?
They are indeed all Victoria 8. Even the skin, no changes. All that I did was make some expressions, poses, and camera angles that I thought might "feel" characteristic of different types of people, and randomly pulled one makeup from each character set with random.org. This is what people are trying to say when they are saying that these characters are not "distinctive" and that they're "too similar." It's not that you can't tell they're supposed to be different people when you look at them together, because you can, and there are tells that give away who is who when you directly compare. But there are such strong common features to all of them that it's really difficult to be sure if someone in a render is Victoria or Stephanie or...
(also thank god it's not just me and I'm not secretly faceblind)
I'm not complaining about the "endless parade of white girls" because I still like all these characters, and I still have all of them, but I understand the reason for hoping that before we get another girl one could throw into this lineup and people would be sure she was five different morphs, maybe we get a Bethany, or a Mei Lin, or a (M)Ollie, or a ghost white Irish girl with freckles all over her body, or a Native American girl with deeply hooded eyes and strong cheekbones on a soft round face. Because I can and I will use the V8s and the O8s and the S8s and the P8s, but I have a really hard time arguing to anyone else that "this one is a new thing."
Actually this may be more of a demonstration of psychology... that if you say "these are different people" people will believe you and justify it. For instance, on first glance I was completely confident 1 was victoria, but at second look I absolutely knew that 3 was because of a very specific feature (the ears I recognize figure ears is that weird?) since I knew 3 absolutely had to be Victoria I knew the others logically couldn't be.
