Maybe it won't even be "Genesis" anymore. Only Daz knows what and when.

Hell yeah... There were four (and a half) generations of Michael/Victoria (+ Stephanie, David, Aiko, Kids, etc.); then Genesis was introduced. Now we have four (and a half) generations of Genesis... Where's my crystal ball? ;-)

Hello Daniel,

So I have tested your beta 1.2 and it seems nothing happen with subdivision level settings.

In Daz > Choose Subdivision Levels > Nothing changes in the "Base Vert count" column when I'm setting another Subdivision level for the objects (yes : "Enable Subdivision" is checked).

I tested with different levels for the body part and in Unity I still have same meshes like with your 1.1 plugin version.

To be sure, I'm using the 1.2beta I have uninstalled the 1.1 and reinstall 1.2beta but same result.

See attached file for Unity result (scene window at left and game window at right).

I hope it helps and my English is not too bad (I'm French).

Thank you again for all your efforts.

Wabby

My config :

Windows 10 64bits
Daz 4.15.0.30 Pro
Unity 2021.1.24 with HDRP 11.0.0

Thanks for the report!  First, you are correct: the "Base Vert count" does not change, because it's just the base vertex count -- not the subdivided vertex count.  The only thing that changes is what you choose in the Subdivision Level drop-down.

Please let me know the following things so I can try to reproduce your issues:

• What Daz Figure
• What hair, clothing, accessories, etc
• What steps you are taking to export to Unity. 

Some things to verify: Go into Help->About Installed Plugins and scroll down to "Unofficial DTU Bridge".  The version should be listed as 1.2.0.5.  And make sure the dialog window says "Unofficial DTU Bridge".  Also, make sure you are setting a Subdivision level higher than zero.  Try subdivision level 2 -- noticeable higher mesh detail level with minimal time to bake.

EDIT:

I've verified that Subdivision at Level 2 is working on Unity 2021.1.24 with Genesis 8.1 Base Male and Female, Genesis 8 Base Male and Female, Genesis 3 Base Male and Female, Genesis 2 Base Male and Female, Victoria 8.1, Victoria 7, Victoria 6.  Please answer the questions above so I can try to reproduce your problems with assets you are using.

Known bug: Daz Studio crashes when you export two different models with Subdivision Enabled.  Already fixed, will be part of next beta.

It's like Victoria 4.2 the next is Genesis 8.2, the Genesis series end.

Nexus series will begin.

Ok, I don't have a lot of morphs. So I did some tests. First I would like to point out my first run on the SSD surprised me beyond belief. It took 45+ seconds to load (I know before you say anything, what is there to complain about 45+ seconds). That can't be right. So I did it again. 43+ seconds. I'm like what the hell. I looked at the log and there were all these warnings and errors about BitLocker locked the SSD, but the product still loaded. So I turned off Bitlocker and decrypted the drive and got the following results.

HHD:

2021-10-11 11:44:09.240 Finished Loading Character Addons
2021-10-11 11:44:09.275 Finished asset load (open): 0m 14.495s - /People/Genesis 8 Female/Characters/Victoria 8 HD.duf

SSD.:

2021-10-11 16:55:11.138 Finished Loading Character Addons
2021-10-11 16:55:11.171 Finished asset load (open): 0m 10.372s - /People/Genesis 8 Female/Characters/Victoria 8 HD.duf

How in the hell did Bitlocker slow the load down on the SSD? So if you have BitLocker on you might want to test with it off not just unlocked. 

There Is still a difference in the speed of SSD vs HHD. Not as much as I thought though. Still like to point out I did notice the delay. Like Lieutenant Commander Data: said "0.68 seconds sir. For an android, that is nearly an eternity." 

Then I bought some of Zevo's Morphs to do another set of tests.

• 200 Plus Head And Face Morphs Bundle For Genesis 8 Female(S) And Male(S)
• ShapeShift Bundle For Genesis 8 Female(S) And Male(S)
• Body Diversity Morphs Bundle For Genesis 3 & 8 Female(S)

SSD:

2021-10-11 17:15:00.123 Finished Loading Character Addons
2021-10-11 17:15:00.169 Finished asset load (open): 0m 13.974s - /People/Genesis 8 Female/Characters/Victoria 8 HD.duf

HHD:

2021-10-11 23:31:40.269 Finished Loading Character Addons
2021-10-11 23:31:40.321 Finished asset load (open): 0m 14.506s - /People/Genesis 8 Female/Characters/Victoria 8 HD.duf

So research shows me that you are right about a little difference in loading, but still a difference. Now I have to turn BitLocker to see if my HDD takes an impact like my SSD

Edit: Each Set of tests was a fresh install of Daz

Edit: Sometimes I have old-timers mind farts. Of course, encrypting a drive slows down performance. 

yeah, been quiet, been an interesting few months.  Last month I was going to get something, got the figure, whent to top off the coffee cup, and when I came back and clicked the add to cart button for the hair, I was greeted with an error.

The hair lacked elf ear dials, I was still going to buy that.  The page has been this ever since.

ok, well, I'll find something I guess. The Briareth hair looks kind of cool, maybe that will work (assuming E&J's content hasn't been yanked out of my purchased items catalog). looks like the entire EJ store has been YEETed for whatever reason, I hope it isn't anything related to that other site that was having issues.

ok, guess we can just blame my bad timing and all of this on the messed up gravity fields of the Halo World we are on, lol.

EJ is not around here any more I guess.

other fun stuff, Pauls Hardwear has a great vid about getting your computer off the floor. even the RS6000 had kickboards at the bottom that normal PCs don't have. speaking of the RS6000, some computers just won't fit on a desk, so the big guns are a tad exempt from that "get it off the floor" thing.

Exactly which version of daz Studio is this - Help>About Daz Studio? It needs to be 4.14.0.2 or later for the new PBRSkin shader, used by Victoria 8.1, to work.

It was more what does it say regarding loading textures for Victoria?

I'm definatily in Iray Preview.   I didn't even know that a Filament preview existed.

I loaded a Victoria 8 into the scene and it came out just fine with all of its initial textures and new ones could be added to it.    But the V8.1 is still pure white.

Hello Daz Gurus:

I recently purchased the Victoria 8.1..   I downloaded it via DIM and then tried to put it into the render room.  I got a warning that it needed to update Starter Essentials which it did.

However.  When the figure showed up it was without any sort of skin textures..  Making it look like a marble statue.  It is rigged and all of the dials work, it's just missing all of the textures.  I also bought Raw Art's Pearlette and it does the same exact thing.  So both figures are missing their automatic textures.  When you try to apply the textures to them nothing happens.   Does anyone know what went wrong and how to fix this problem?

I've included a screen shot so that you all can see what I mean.

(SOLVED, what brought by my Iray Render Engine was a udate of my drivers.. Who would have thought?  But Emma with DAZ Tech support suggested it and it worked!)

Thank you all very much for your help!  It was much appreciated!

N-Ra Swollen Feet and Ankles Morph for Genesis 8 Female

An ugly morph. Then again, swollen feet aren't meant to be pretty.

Based on real swollen feet and ankles.

You may not need to dial the morph all of the way up.  I found dialling up to 0.75 more than enough. 
I made it with the G8F base character in mind - That's why Victoria 8's render looks "off" ("preggers"/pregnant preview). I don't know if it'll work with G8.1F, or with any other feet, ankle, or leg morphs (I can't imagine it will with the latter). 

Read_Me includes instructions on how to install via DIM.

Thank you for viewing (and downloading) 

Well, I don't know about the earlier editions, but Response Vehicles scale is notably off. I have a G8M character who is the equivalent of 6'3", and that should easily fit into something the size of your average Crown Victoria imitation. Yet his head gets nicely bisected by the roof of the government vehicle at its default scale. I had to scale it up to over 110%, and even then, the length was still too short, so I had to add z-scale as well. (Somehow, the wheels didn't turn into ovals. Not sure how that didn't happen.)

Seems to be a consistent thing that cars somehow aren't consistently made to Genesis scale, of whatever generation.

Debating whether or not to return them, since they didn't drive any discounts for that particular purchase.

No matter what I do, DIM won't download the following products:

I checked to see that I had harddrive space, no issues. I deleted a already downloaded product as was able to redownload that with no issue.

Items were purchased about four hours ago.

When I attempt to manually download the products I get:

Slight necro, but this is for anyone who's wondering about porting Victoria 4 to Genesis 8 via using Gen X for the initial step. I think earlier in this thread I reported that it doesn't work. This was wrong, the porting works just fine, you just have to make sure your head morph is set right in the converter, as it's unlikely to be FHM :)
Also the secret to Vicky 4 characters looking right is to use the Legacy Victoria 4 shape (IIRC for Genesis 2) instead of the one with Gen X and use the corresponding Genesis 2 to 8 tool to port the one from the store here as a base. 

RS and SY's 3delight to Iray converter also usually does by far the best job on Vicky4 skins, though I've had to use other tools for a few individual mats.

Great tools by Riversoft et al.

Hi all,
I was looking through various products here in the shop, hunting for interesting hair models, and then I found this:

Belladonna poses for Victoria 7 - Volume 1 | Daz 3D
It's a pose pack, yet the promo images show very interesting (at least for me) curly hair and short hair. Does anybody know what hair models these are?

Thanks a lot,

Kind regards,

I'm not 100% certain, but it looks like AprilYSH's Miranda Hair

Hey all!

So releasing with the awesome and amazing Superhero Training Room will be a collection of not one but TWO pose sets that I hope you will find inspiring. Because superheros come in different shapes and sizes, I've included a selection of shapes support to make things a little more easy and interesting and allow you to get going on your renders without having to stop and tweak the poses. Pose presets support for Genesis 8/8.1 Male, Genesis 8/8.1 Female, Michael 8, Victoria 8, The Brute 8, Freja 8, Kayo 8, both shape options for Raw Biggun HD (1 & 2), and Raw Jemma HD. Also, as a side note, Owen 8 works really well with the Genesis 8 Male base poses - for when you want a younger, less muscular (but more muscular than the base shape) hero to work with.

First up: Hero In Training for Genesis 8: Amateurs! For all those situations when things go wrong, or when your hero is just starting out. 

The main promo and the last promo are the exact same image, and in the last promo, she identifies it as 100% Victoria 8.1.
