Yay, that's the one item I was waiting for. Into the cart before I even looked at the promos, glad she's a grown-up. Now hurry, weekend.

Btw that was one expensive figure... day 1 (I don't usually do that), with today's stacking rebate and BJ store (and others) on sale. Ended up at $140, when I wanted to take a break after MM...

Instead, Gaia didn't impress me so much at first sight. I am sure of the quality that BJ brings, but I feel her to be too much "similar" to some previous BJ's characters I already own. I don't feel that "new" or "wow" factor that I need to buy at D1. Maybe I'll change my mind seeing her in some custom works. After all, my appreciation of BJ started when I saw Amira as a model in OOT promos....

For now, Victoria will remain my only 8.1 figure.... 

I can't seem to export the head morphs at all in FBX.

I'm specifically looking for Visemes and eye close/open

I've attached pictures showing that the Visemes are there in the Parameters list but don't appear in the export list. The morphs should appear in that list when exporting no matter how you have the rules set right?

Collada export does show all the morphs but seems to break when I try to export it with head morphs. (Blender throws an warning and imports nothing)

"Sax FWL (Warning): Source with id "blMilWom_v4b_68498-morph-targets" in morph controller with  id "blMilWom_v4b_68498-morph" used in input with semantic SEMANTIC_MORPH_TARGET could not be found!"

I created the Aiko 4 model by double clicking on the Aiko 4 Base and going through the PowerLoader import dialog (selecting the V4.2 Base and Aiko 4 Morphs.)

I'm not sure what I'm missing here?

I've also tried setting the Morph Export Rules to target the visemes just in case and nothing.

https://www.daz3d.com/vyk-markie-for-victoria-81 has a naughty promo. I think the crotch of her underwear might need to be adjusted. 

Will report.

It’s just her shin. It’s a weird render. The sleeve is cutting through the knee a bit and somehow makes the shin with the dirty hole look like her crotch lol.  

OH, it's that image you're on about. That's just the ripped jeans material. I thought you were talking about the green knickers image.
I know it's probably the top of her thigh, but it does look like she may be feeling a draft down there
 

Yes, I noticed that afterwards, These don’t look like Vyktioria’s renders that are usually super creative and artistic. Looks like she may have hired out.

I am not sure whether this is intented or whether a mischievous Gremlin sneaked in and messed with it, but there is this in the store: https://www.daz3d.com/vyk-markie-for-victoria-81

The figure lists this as a required product (SKU 38!): https://www.daz3d.com/road-bicycle

The bicycle lists the figure as its add-on.

Could someone take a look at it, please?

Somehow this happens. And, yeah, I think it's gremlins. Will let Daz know. Thanks for the heads up.

Got it fixed. One more question is there a way to edit the ranger vest on victoria in that pose. If i select the model for the ranger top in the instance manager then click the icon to edit in assembly room the vest jumps off the character. If i select the ranger top and everything included with that model, hip, abdomen, etc. i can only edit it in the modeling room. The problem is I end up deforming the mesh a little more than I need and jumping back and forth between the two rooms which makes a bigger mess. So I make the edit jump back if it doesn't work I undo the edit and start again. If I had to fix several instances of poke through this way the vest would probably look a little off (odd bends and folds) I would think.

Looks like Hongyu's Bikini to me, but that came out substantially after Piper.

edit: oh, of course. Hongyu's Bikini for V7.

Hello!

When I render Victoria 8.1 out of the box she's colourless. Regardless of light. 
Only way to get rid of this is to reset the texture and start over with basic Iray or select another set of textures. 
What is wrong? What must I do?
I use DAZ 4.14

Victoria 8.1 uses the new PBR shader, which requires DS4.15.x

So where does one find 4.15?  The download studio link is broken these days and so are my automatic updates...

Download a fresh copy through DIM/Daz Central and install it, with DS closed. You can also use the Public Build (beta) which will leave the geenral release alone - that has to be installed through DIM.

Thank you I made sure Victoria was selected first then applied the hair and now it works.

Hello everyone.
First of all, notice that I do not speak English so I am using Gooogle Translator to write to you.
Well, today I bought Genesis Alive (product link attached):
https://www.daz3d.com/genesis-alive

And I found it very good and just what I needed.
For the same reason, I plan to buy in the near future (when I collect money) Genesis 2 Alive!, Genesis 8 Alive!, Michael Alive and Victoria Alive.
However, there is something that bothers me about all this.
I can't find a GENESIS 3 ALIVE! Version.
Why didn't the car make such a version but it did make a Genesis 8 version?
Or is it that it existed but Daz removed the product listing?
Or is it just that they serve the same Genesis 2 or 8 Alive?

If the version does not really exist and the version for Genesis 8 or 2 does not work, could you recommend a product that does the same but for Genesis 3 ?, that is, breathing, head movement, blinking, etc., that is, very movements basic ambience while you are still or doing something.

I await your responses.
Greetings.

The hair needs to be aprented to the head in order to follow it, since it is a prop rather than a fitted figure. That should happen on load, but since it isn't you could try parenting it with Parent In Place off (right-click the hair>Change Parent, uncheck the Parent In Place box) - that should snap it it to the head's orientation, and maybe position, so that it is relatively easy to settle. You could also try just rloading the hair with Victoria 4 selected, if it might not have been the first time.

Look at the comparison in this image. Using the same textures, the only difference is the face morphs using Michael/Victoria 8.0 vs 8.1. Which one looks closer to real?

 In my opinion the 8.1 versions really looks a bit cartoonish.

I think the same. There might be some improvements regarding skin shader and eye UVs, but overall, most images I saw have a noticeable cartoonish look.
I know that DAZ is trying to jump the non-binary trend with 8.1, but for me, Michael 8.1 looks not really manly. So, I definitely do not miss this character in my library.

The 8.1 generation appears like an art direction change rather than an update. My issue is that the art is shifting towards a more stylized look (cartoony/exaggerated features). When you mix classic 8.0 with 8.1 models in the same scene, they don't match well. Yes the older gens offered a mix of cartoony and photoreal characters, but my point is more about the overall art direction as a whole for Daz. Not sure if Daz got a new artist recently but the direction is changing fast towards this. Maybe stylized sells better and more people prefer this, but in my opinion this is not ideal in the long run. Hopefully this was just the case for the first few 8.1 models released.

This is the Applied Figure to a V5 Model and I tried it even with a Basic Genesis Model too, same thing happened.

Also isn't Genesis Basic model supposed to have textures on it?

I can't remember if it did or not, I don't normally use Genesis characters much.

and I also have the files Genesis Starter Essentials, Genesis Evolution: Body Morphs, Victoria 4.2 Base,Victoria 4.2 Shapes++,
