Guys, V9 and the Genesis 9 figure are great. Victoria 9 is like Victoria 8.1 on steroids, and do you see how beautiful and natural the arm bend is on just the base figure?!

Eh, they look good but I'm just wondering how well they will hold up when you dial in big characters like the Brute and Swole - which hopefully will make their way to Gen9 as well, seeing that I do use those characters a lot. I mostly do fantasy themed renders as opposed to contemporary and realistic ones (for that I can always step out into the real world...). Gen8 had problems even with big but still realistic bodybuilder type characters. Especially if you were to get, say, a good bicep flex.

I wonder if they managed to resolve the problem with big bellied characters and bends, too. Real bellies just don't behave the way they currently do if you bend character forward... though I guess this would require soft body dynamics rather than just being something you can fix with good bends.

Yeah, those are really great examples of specific cases that have been a problem in the past. I'm hoping since the bends are really well done out of the box for this generation that it means they function better in general. Definitely look forward to seeing how they work with more unusual characters and body types. I hope you will test it and let us know soon, either with something custom or once some of the bigger characters (as you said -- hopefully) do make their way to Gen9. 

I have downloaded Victoria 9 / Genesis 9 and Essentials, they will load up, but getting some missing files, presume just a startup glitch so will await outcome and keep checking for updates; looking forward to her coming out to play.

Anatomical elements yes, but materials where?

There should be presets in Victoria 9's materials if you have her, and while I can't check right now I think the basic G9 skin options should have gens materials you can apply.

Not sure if anyone else has had this issue, but I preordered the V9 bundle (the big one) and as of 7:44am Oct 19 2022 I still do not have access to download any of it, not via Daz Central, not the DIM nor manual install.

This is really bad look for Daz3d as a company, they should have been sure to have all the preorder downloads ready to launch BEFORE launching for purchase to the store. If you preordered you should NOT be stuck unable to get the items you paid for with no recourse other than Daz3d slow ticket system.

Whatever the reason, the presales bundle content just isn't there. The Starter Essentials got assigned correctly and could be downloaded - they're for free and in the shop now. 

Do i understand this right? Those who preordered don't have Victoria 9 HD content but those who buy now have? That would be bugs then.

If just no one has Victoria 9 yet, i'd put that under hiccough, or maybe it's even smart to first iron out bugs of the general package, then start the specialized one. Though with ordinary sales being up, that doesn't appear to be the strategy at all...

Yes, a lot of people have the same problem. Hopefully it will be fixed later today.

Things that I've noticed

1. Like others, I can get G9 Essentials but not by V9 Preorder bundle. It shows as purchased in my account, but does not show up in DIM
2. Like others, I get an error using the eyebrows, message says missing files
3. The shirt - none of its adjustment morphs seem to work. I've tried them all, at various settings... no change at all.
4. Agree about the poses - the "male" ones still have a feminine flair to them, like the feet
5. There doesn't seem to be baseline expression morphs - is that expected?

That being said, the figures look nice, and they rendered nicely (using my new RTX 4090 :-D). I'm looking forward to the Victoria 9 release 

Going to throw my name in here as well as one who Pre ordered the Victoria 9 HD Intro Bundle back on 27th of September There is nothing downloadable in DIM ,but shows as purchased in product library. Don't know if the Voss hair or other bathing suit is supposed to be the pre order  bonus or not but they are not there either.

I hope everyone's downloads and things are worked out soon, because this is a really wonderful update!
Riggswolfe, I belive the anatomical elements -- including eyebrows -- are in the Character Essentials which are available to purchase. I don't use gens, so I can't say much, but I did see that it's in that product when I purchased it.

I saw the email this morning that I could now download the Victoria 9 HD bundle that I bought in September. When I went to DIM, only the Genesis 9 Starter Essentials were there to be downloaded. When I look in my product library, I see that I've purchased the V9 HD bundle, but all the parts show as not purchased—which has never been the case with other bundles. What's going on? None of the prodicts show up inmy DAZ library after I downloaded the essentials. I expected all the parts of the bundle to appear in DIM; none did. What did I pay $80.00 for a month ago? 

Like many others Victoria 9 bundle shows as purchaseds but none of the individual products do and I can't download anything from it. I was able to download the starter essentials and the bonus items for preordering however. I haven't tried anything with my starter essentials yet to see if I have the same issues with eyebrows and such as I figure it's pointless until an update eventually goes out.

I can download and install Starter Essentials but I can't see the Victoria 9 Presale Bundle that I bought when it came out.

Paid $$$ for the Victoria 9 bundle pre-order and it's nowhere to be found... please fix this. Thank you.

Same problem here. Genesis 9 Starter Essentials installed, still claims file is missing. Also pre-ordered the Victoria 9 Bundle but none of the bundle items appear in Daz Central for download

Voss hair and a bikini.  Did you get the bikini?  This sounds like a cluster****.

Nothing. No Vicki 9 .. no bundle items .. no freebies .. nothing.

Could have not pre-ordered .. spent a little extra $$ now and could be playing around with it already ..

I don't even see Victoria 9 in my DAZ Central (I pre-ordered her a couple of days ago). Yes, I have installed Genesis 9 and everything is working fine. Please help!

Same here. I preordered it the night of the "Big Announcement" . No freebies (the bikini and Voss hair) No Victoria 9. Daz drops the ball again.

I pre-ordered Victoria 9 and it was supposed to come with Voss hair.....thats not happend.

Pre-ordered the Victoria 9 HD Presale Bundle (now changed in Intro Bundle and this is disappointing because it creates a LOT of chaos), still no download are available. In the store the separate products don't show ad "purchased".

As the title says, I pre-ordered the Victoria 9 intro bundle and it's not showing up in my Daz Install Manager or anywhere else, though it is in my product catalog on the site.  Anyone have any ideas why?
