I'm kind of impressed that he looks less fair with Victoria's skin than his own, even though she's tuned so that she can only be a blond or redhead without looking odd.

I'm also waiting for Michael 9.  I bought Victoria 9 but really havent done much with her.  I'm hoping it won't be long before Michael 9 makes his appearance.

Traditionally it takes several months for Michael to show up after Victoria is released. I think there was one generation where he showed up fairly quickly.

I would like to see Micheal 9 soon but I am also apprehensive.  I also fear that the content will be designed to look good on the female shape first and then just turn the slider on.

I tend to lean towards pessimism

If the pre-8.1/post original Genesis period can be used as a guide, Michael in G2, G3 and G8 tended to come about two months after Victoria. 8.1 was very unusual, but it was not quite the same sort of very major generation change that 9.0 is.

Honestly I'd prefer Michael models would come out before the Victoria ones.

But my question is: when will Michael 9 come out? I'm anxious to see how the new Michael 9 will be. 

There's a problem with the X-Fashion Sunshine in Cotton Set for Genesis 9 and Genesis 8 Females.  The G8 version fits correctly on Moryen (left), but there's way too much bust room on Victoria 9.  Has anyone else come across this?

Anyway, putting in a ticket.

NB: I tried the G8 version on V9 using autofit, and it fits correctly.

Ai tempi di Victoria 4 era anche peggio (o meglio, questione di punti di vista )

Nice chest hair

Planning to add variations like varied length and curly hair? Maybe wet and clumped?

It currently has length and thickness but the file sizes are not small, especially for the chest. Adding too many morphs will make the end product massive. Then again, one of Victoria 9's hair styles can be over 600MB to download, so I don't suppose people would have a problem downloading a product that could be well over 1GB. 

As far as DAZ Studio is concerned, it doesn't have any problem handling the geometry as long as you're not posing in Iray mode. Then again, this is only the chest and armpits.

Hi, The character in this promo is a bit of a mix of morphs. The main character morph is Amile. https://www.daz3d.com/mst-amile-for-victoria-8 but I added other morphs to soften her features slightly.

Oh, you did it? It looked very beautiful.

Thank you for answering my question.

DIM 1.4.0.94 default filter for generation 9 figures does not work. I own and have installed the starter essentials and Victoria 9 HD, but neither show up with that filter. The default filters were updated today, but this still does not work. See attached screenshots. I mentioned this before in the forum, so when I saw a filter update today, I expected a fix. But no. So I submitted a help request.

Delete the $ at the end of the filter text.

Oh, I see. In every generation 9 product I own, the "9" is not the last character in the product name. Thanks, Richard. Your breadth of knowledge always astounds me.

hah, that wasn't my breadth of knowledge - I am an utter bodger when it comes to Regular Expressions.

I have been comparing Genesis 9 to the Genesis 8.1 Female and Male and Victoria 9 to Victoria 8.1.

I don't like the measurements of Genesis 9 at all. I would have expected the Genesis 9 Unisex base to be taller than the Genesis 9 Feminine version, and Genesis 9 Masculine version to be taller than the Genesis 9 Unisex base. But they are all the same height, and smaller as Genesis 8.1 Female.

The shoulders look to square, and the female breasts to saggy. Maybe previous Genesis generations were not as real or to idealized, but they looked more attractive.

Victoria 9 has a very pretty face, though.

Genesis 9 will be remembered as the portrait generation by some, and as the lost generation by others.

There is a reason for the same size - to get past a ton of clothing issues caused by scaling in all previous generations, Genesis 9 uses proportion dials to adjust the figure sizes.

That means that you can now have an orc character that's 7 feet tall, but he can also be gnome size and still look fine, and clothing will still fit decently because scaling is not baked into the character.

But how many Orcs in tuxedos does one need?

One the one hand Daz is praising Genesis 9 for more realism, while on the other sacrificing realism for compatability.

I only used orc an an example of one character. It also goes for any of the other figures. The proportion dials work well with clothing.

I used the Orc as an example as well.

Take the Genesis 8.1 female base and the Genesis 9 with feminine dialed in. When you dial up Genesis 9 to the same height as Genesis 8.1 the shoulders are too massive.

When you take a real life product like a jeans, it can be unisex, still there are male and female cuts as genders have a different anatomy.

In my opinion, the unisex base is a step into the wrong direction.

 

All that can be changed tho. There are proportional dials for almost everything on G9...almost every body part :). It's infinitely "tweakable" compared to earlier Genesis versions I think. 

As for promos and posing and "noodle joints" I think it could possibly be that a lot of the promos were done before G9 was even completely finished and may have had updates since. Also, I notice that some are neglecting to use the base joint correctives and flexion sliders found on the main figure Parameters tab. They help.

What is the problem with your feet? Neither pair of shoes works. Neither those of Genesis 8 nor those that are designed exclusively for her. Is there a trick that I don't know? I am doing something wrong? someone who can help me

BUT, if you right-click on the eyebros and select "fit to," then select Hagar, they pop into place. They're not loaded in right by default. Edit: Wait, no, they just parented somewhere inside the body. Definitely support ticket. Second edit: The model doesn't do that with any other eyebrows, so that's the problem item.

Thanks. Yes....weird! No matter what I do I can't them to stick. Can't be bothered with support ticket - so she's sporting Victoria 8 eyebrows now instead!

I am taking my time to add to G9 bit by bit. With Victoria 9, the Essential bundles and Growing Up for G9, I have a base for now.

At the moment I can't do anything with it, as I can only type on the iPad with my left hand after a bad shoulder injury (wet, very smooth stone floor and slippery soles....), and it may be months before I can work properly with DS again. This is especially annoying because I really like the concept of G9 and would have loved to start trying everything right away. But this way I choose much more carefully what I buy for G9, which is not bad...

Ealdwulf said:As Duane_Moody said back in '17 Unimesh didn't come about until generation 4 and even then it was not until either v4.1 or v4.2 that was done.  I do remember that it was done to allow textures and clothing to be shared amongst the characters for the same gender.

 I believe that the unimesh began with Victoria 3, then Micheal 3.
