Another Victoria 9 HD Artwork with HDRi Style Realistic:

https://www.daz3d.com/gallery/user/5352879728623616#gallery=newest&page=1&image=1289832

daz studio 4.21.0.5, blender 3.5.1, diffeomorphic 1.7.1.1571

@bennie I don't get anything like that. You can try my steps below to test, or provide your exact steps, please make it as simple as possible to reproduce the issue. Be sure to update to the latest commit for bug fixes.

steps (works fine):

1. standard import Victoria 8.1 and merge rigs, or easy import with the default values
2. add custom shapes, add simple ik with full options
3. pose the figure using ik controls

edit. I see Thomas added extra ik controls for arms and legs, not sure what they are for and I see they conflict each other. That's not a issue if we don't use them but I'm going to ask. Now reported.

https://bitbucket.org/Diffeomorphic/import_daz/issues/1555/

It's most likely due to the number of morphs you have installed. They don't need to be applied to slow it down, they just need to exist in a loaded daz library lol. Loading the figures takes longer the more you have installed, and so do posing, expressions, simulations and animations.

I'm assuming you have far fewer G3 and G9 characters than G8/8.1. Case in point: My G9 loaded instantly when I only had Victoria 9, and now it's beginning to show I have a bunch of G9 characters. G8 is worse by a long shot, but I have countless characters.. I try to uninstall the ones I don't use to keep things acceptable.

You could try creating another daz content library in the settings in which you keep the bare minimum to work on your current scenes and another with the rest etc. There's a bunch of videos on the issue like this one.

Do I need to buy the Victoria 9 mega bundle?

I bought her intro bundle and I don't have it. 

Call it a stunt, but here's Face Transfer on a stock G9 figure.

This was actually a learning and testing exercise. Nothing here is remotely out-of-the-box usage of FT, and a lot of small steps were involved. In essence, it's FT to G8.1 (which is what I normally use, so I can make use of all of the G8.1 features with my FT characters). From there, I converted the original FT mat files to G9 format, then converted the shape to G9 using info I found on another forum thread here. The shape is half Face Transfer and half the result of another 2D conversion product I've been testing lately - part of this test was to confirm that this hodgepodge of shapes would make the trip, as the example for the process I followed used a commercial Daz figure. Then I loaded a stock G9, to which I applied the shape, the Victoria 9 mats (as a shortcut to get a bunch of skin settings set), then replaced the Victoria 9 base color and translucency color mats with the converted FT mats.

I have normals, etc., for this character but didn't go that far for this exercise, which was specifically about the application to G9. 

NOTE: There's some face staining here which I could have prevented by using a version of this source image that had shadows cleaned up a bit. It doesn't affect the "proof of concept" but it bugs me! :)

Thank you for your timely advice.
But I wanted to reassure you, I'm not a developer or something similar and I have no intention of selling or distributing the result. What I do is just for fun.
I wish I could add a presenter to my youtube video tutorials. These are also done for entertainment only and I do not receive any form of income. But since you've posed the problem, I'd like to ask you a few questions, also to avoid running into future problems. I have read the conditions of sale of the software, but with English and with google translated which is sometimes not very clear, I ask you some questions which I hope you can give me an answer to.
1 Can I use animated characters in my video tutorials for non-profit purposes?

You mean renders of the characters? Yes, and in for profit work too (with limited exceptions for the Anne Marie Goddard digital Clone for Victoria 3, and with the exception of most Flipped Normals products)..

2 if one day I change my mind and make a profit from viewing youtube, what changes? Do I have to buy licenses?

Nothing changes.

3 Can the characters and products you sell in your shop be used for this purpose or do you need to purchase additional licenses?

The basic licnese covers the use of the content to create rendered, 2D images and videos (with the exceptions noted above).

4 Can you explain to me in simple words what are "interactive licenses " and "printing licenses?" Do I have to consider them when making these purchases?

You need an interactive license if you are going to be distributing 3D data, rather than 2D renders. Most obviously 3D games, but it applies to anything which requires sharing 3D data (or texture files) from the products.

The print license is needed for 3D printing beyond the very limited, strictly non-commercial usage allowed by the basic license. It doesn't cover other methods for creating physical models, such as injection moulding.

I repeat, currently I do not pursue any profit, also because my job and my family take up all my time, and this is just for fun. But it is good to know how to behave.
I hope google translate did its job well.
I always thank you for your availability

Legacy UVs for Genesis 9: Classic Edition - Victoria 4 will be released shortly.  This will include new geografts and an eye attachment to accommodate the older generation surfaces.  As with previous Generation 4 UV sets, the Victoria 4 material presets will have to be in .duf format to work on Genesis 9, so you may need to convert the old native .pz2 or .ds MATs to .duf.  This can be done easily by loading the MATs onto Victoria 4 and then saving them as .duf files (File > Save As > Material(s) Preset...).

Any issues or questions, let me know.

Released today: Legacy UVs for Genesis 9: Classic Edition - Victoria 4
https://www.daz3d.com/legacy-uvs-for-genesis-9-classic-edition--victoria-4

I've just uploaded a new V8 figure and she seems to be completely distorted, especially in the region of the hip bones as you can see.

The only shapes that are applied are the Victoria 8 head and body shaping. Reducing them to 0 straightens out the muscles but does nothing to reset the hipbone deformation.

Is this the new normal or is this an error? And if so, does anyone know if there's a workaround or a correction? I'm using Daz 4:21 (64 bit) and W10 version 21H2

Thanks in advance

For clarity,  you only really need to buy ONE Genesis 8 female pro bundle (ie Victoria 8) and ONE Genesis 8 male pro bundle (ie Michael 8) to get the genitals. Those same genitals are used for every other Daz base figure in the Genesis 8 line and all the texture sets that have genital maps will fit them. Hope that made sense.

Laurie

NB    Every other Daz adult base figure  

Does it inlcude Stylized character pro bundles (Aiko, Kenji, Toon Dwayne, ...) ?

Usually no, but one can see it in "What's included" if it's there.

Anyways, this is an ancient thread and if one want's G8 Anatomical Elements now, one gets them for both genders in many of the G8.1 bundles

I  played a bit with Xiu Lin. Pretty face, but she needs to take care of her hands.

I like her. Did you morph her face some, because she looks less toonish than I remember? I guess we could turn down the normals on her hands.

Yes, I morphed in some Victoria 9, need to look it up. Used the Kiri skin.

She looks absolutely wonderful here.

This is a great product!! I have used numerous pose change products in the meantime. I have tried at least all products and scripts, both free and paid. All products in the past were converted similarly, but they could not be used without fine-tuning. This is because it takes too much time to re-modify the converted pose, so finding a similar pose product released for the current character can save time. In fact, it is true that I had many doubts about how well this product would convert, but this product shattered my doubts. Finally, you don't have to fix your hand pose!! And the pose of the two characters combined is almost perfectly transformed!! Some poses can be reproduced with only minor adjustments without destroying the original pose. With this product, I have been able to render scenes with a new generation of characters using poses I have collected as a hobby for almost decades (I have collected many poses since victoria in zygote and poser3 in metacreation). This is truly an innovation.

Thanks for the kind words!  I am glad you like it.

If there's anything I want from the creator, I've been waiting for a tool that can somehow reuse characters before victoria4 (I'm victoria3, vicky, and literally Paleolithic poses without deleting them. In the past, I tried using tools like philc's puppet master, but the results is not good.) Can you also make the conversion possible? Other users may have the same thoughts as me, but if there is an auto script that converts and saves the entire folder at once, it will be a great product that can not find the slightest flaw. I would be happy to purchase an add-on product if such functionality was added.

Unfortunately, I came to the Daz Studio game too late.  I do not even have a single pre-V4 character or pose.  As far as converting the entire folder at once, that goes against the philosophy of the Universal Pose Converter.  I wanted to stop people from littering their entire HD with conversions of poses and just use the poses directly.
