I don't think that is a mistake by the PA.

In those cases the long path is caused by DAZ Connect, which for some ridiculous reason uses "non-standard" paths, also the beginning of the path is completely unnecessary (/Users/Owner/Documents/DAZ 3D/Studio/)

The ExP system for adding morphs, as I recall.

Does anyone remember which were the main differences between Victoria 4 and Victoria 4.2?

honesly Michael 3 and Victoria 3 use the least amount of RAM and are good enough for extras

are also actually higher poly than genesis + but way less overheads 

I used a few instanced in this video

Iray will even render it but I used Filament as faster

Medieval Feast and Fury Bundle https://www.daz3d.com/medieval-feast-and-fury-bundle has a few errors in the "What's Included and Features" section:

1. FG Medieval Great Hall is listed but doesn't exist. It should be FG Medieval Dining Hall - https://www.daz3d.com/fg-medieval-dining-hall_Fugazi1968

2. Victoria 8 HD Add-On is listed but ahhh, yeah, probably not part of the bundle :)

3. Dire Wolf Animations for Daz Dog 8 and Genesis 8 isn't listed - https://www.daz3d.com/dire-wolf-animations-for-daz-dog-8-and-genesis-8

Looking at the 2021-01 Hair, I see that there is a fit for both Victoria 8 as well as Victoria 8.1.  Interesting...

Good find! That is the first real clue, I think. 

^Well, the base Genesis 8 figures are free, so I imagine the base Genesis 8.1 (or whatever it's called) version will be free too.

If 'Victoria 8.1' is a new figure, then it'll cost money same as all the others.

I wonder if Daz is going to charge us for the update, given it's not an entirely new line.
(Unlike some here, I wasn't using Daz when V4 was the in thing, let alone when the upgrades to that model happened, so I've no idea what they've done in the past in regards to such.)

Hey folks I am wondering if anyone could link a breakdown on what to do to add a custom character for this example https://elleque.net/?p=5736 this character comes with some props and materials. I know how to have the character show up in the smart content editing the metadata information. but I want to also add the materials and props for that chartacter as well. I have tried in the past to do a few things like create a new catagory for compabablity base but when I try and set that up nothing shows up. there is a lot of information out there on how to attach it with allready been created like victoria 4 and genesis 3, but I havent found one that setup a character thats not been created before. any help would be awsome even if its a paid tut on daz I use enough 3rd part content that would be awsome.

I've Id  some of the mousso characters. 

• Caramel - Already Identified as Cara Delevigne
• Chanel - Analeigh Tipton
• Dior - Miranda Kerr
• Juniper - Michel Pfieffer
• Marne - Anne Hathaway
• Gail - Natalie Dormer
• Revel - Sigourney Weaver
• Melanthe - Heidi Klum

Others I'm less sure abut

• Lilianna Emily - Di Damato?
• Flavia -Candice Swanpool?
• Rei - Doutzen, Kroes?
• Ryleigh - Kate Moss?

Anyhow Aside from famous actresses, I think he uses the modeling world a lot. Expecially SI swimsuit, and Victoria's secret.  Names Like Revel, Chanel, Dior also indicate this connection.

I suppose, Sherilynn looks very similar like Barbara Palvin (fashion / photo model) by age about 25.

Ok so it is NOT just me, phew, yeah I just feel like so much originality has dropped, the one Charles mentioned is exactly what I mean. There is this level of sophistication, that Victoria 8 started, and now every other Genesis Character feels like they just moved some sliders and made a model, rather than create something unique. The clothes are horrendous and unoriginal, I think the last piece of clothing I bought that was useful was the Vitruvian Exosuit and the Shogun armor but that is like months ago. Also I am not sure why but even the specials this new year really sucked. Last year you could buy so much and now it feels like everything they offer requires a new product to be purchased first so yeah, not sure why?

Mousso is a she...

I use Dimension-Z's N.G.S. Anagenessis 2 - Revolution shaders on all of my figures. But occasionally, when I render my figures, I see light and dark rectangular pixels on their skin, as you can see in the screenshot I've attached below. The figure in the screenshot is Destiny for Olympia 6, but I've also rendered Victoria 6 and Priya for Genesis 3 with the N.G.S. Anagenessis 2 - Revolution shaders and have seen these pixels on those figures as well. I've noticed the only time I see these markings is when I render a figure up close in certain dark environments. The figure below is rendered with the Orestes Iray HDRI Environments - Cave Shelter. If someone has encountered this problem and/or has any idea how to solve it, please let me know. 

Unbelievable,

It looks like Daz3.com starts massive product renaming (titles and links). Compare this

I can't believe this...

WHY? Rebranding? WHY? What about backlinks from Pinterest, Twitter, Posercontent or something else? What are you doing daz3d?

I don't know how PoserContent will deal with this, but I hope we will NOT start thread named "RIP PoserContent" soon. I crossed my fingers...
