While I apprechiate artist creating male content, I am quite often disappointed by the content we get. Why is it always pretty white ladies, the asian one who got released a couple of days ago, she is so pretty. I haven't bought her yet, I'm waiting for a sale because this March Madness has drained my wallet quite badly. But everytime we get a new male character, it's old, uninteresting. At least to me. There is 1 item from the bundle I actually wanna get, but that's it. Create a high quality male teen character, just like teen Josie or any others, that way people will buy them in pairs. Just my 2 cents

I'm sorry, but which store are you looking at? Because I must respectfully disagree. :P

A lot of the characters are matching pairs. Leroy and Nida, Jonathan and Josephene, Kanade and Yuzuru, Deigo and Gabriela, Elios and Ellithia, Sanjay and Kala, Mr Woo and Mrs Chow, Ollie and Edie, Floyd and Mabel, Monique and Darius, Victoria and Michael, etc...it's not like they're only making young girls and old men.

Also, you've got characters like Deigo, Silas, Yuzuru, Sanjay, Nix, Lee, The Brute, Landon, a pretty diverse cast of male characters who aren't old.

If you don't mind me asking, what exactly would you consider an "interesting" male character?

Apparently there is a lack of Teen males. I saw more than one person complain about this.

In my mind there's nothing special about a teen and there are already a few teen males that are great, without the need for a DO character for it, but that is just my preference. I have 0 interest in a teen male.

 

Well, I can agree with that. Just look at the new releases. 2 MORE Teens for G8F. 0 for Males overall. I don't know why that is, but apparently they don't sell. The only reason why I'd wanna buy a teen male is for the skin texture, and morph it further. I just don't think it's fair to have that more females... But on the other side, I understand PAs, why would they spend their time creating something and risk not selling enough.

If there was a very interesting teen male maybe I could be interested in him but the previous generation teens were so generic and bland that I would not be.

I think there are so many other interesting types of characters we don't have yet that caucasian teen male is not one I would be interested in. For example Dasan 8 is very interesting, he looks like he has a back story to him. 

Of course this is only my opinion. If there are enough people interested in a teen male, why not have a pro bundle for that.

Another thing I would want to mention though is that lately I see a pattern for pairs of characters being released: CJ and Dain, Leroy and Nida, Jonathan and Josephine. Because of that I would expect a pair to Dasan to be released before anything else.

Maybe the chance for the teen male was missed after Raven of Josie. 

Male-M3dia made some G8 male teens that are perfectly good and I think better than something Daz would have come out with to be honest. The downside is that they are only shapes with no textures.

After seeing your response, Laurie, I decided to go ahead and post what I was not going to post:

According to Daz representatives from the past, young males sell poorly, even to the point that Tween Ryan 7 was virtually given away for free as a new release. (Perhaps marketing figured, "We're gonna lose money anyway; so, let's buy some customer goodwill instead").

Also, Lucas 8 is late teen to early twenties, and he is probably one of the least popular G8 Core figures, which solidified Daz's original contention (although his orange, waxy, featureless skin and lack of morph personality may be more of a factor in low sales than his age and gender). BTW, Altern8 fixes Lucas 8's skin very nicely.

Although young male is the character category that is least interesting to me, I still need them for scene fillers. This past weekend I was finally able to pick up some wishlisted young males at a price befitting their value to me---though not their high quality: Justin, Josh, Jeremy, & Nick. Them, along with Male-M3dia's unparalleled male teen morph packs (these morphs easily rival Core figure quality in detail and distinctiveness) and skins like Nix 8 and Gage (as well as Genesis 8 UV Swap to use female skins) make it possible to field an entire teen male sports team as well as their opponents with no repetition.

I believe Lucas's poor sale performance isn't so much due to him being young and Male ... but that he wasn't such a convincing character. Mousso's new Asher is also young and Male and seems to perform well.

There are a few not so low cut ones :

What you want looks a lot like the Isla Bikini JVRender linked above.

Some other ones from the other store:

https://www.renderosity.com/mod/bcs/index.php?ViewProduct=142189

https://www.renderosity.com/mod/bcs/index.php?ViewProduct=111579

https://www.renderosity.com/mod/bcs/index.php?ViewProduct=122321

Ah, missed this on your first post JV, thanks for re-pointing it out Alex. Yes, that's almost precisely the bottom I was looking for. Now, if only there were some more options. I already have a couple of the ones you posted from Renderosity. I like the 3DAge stuff a lot, and have quite a bit of it, I just have no idea how to successfully port it over to G3F or G8F. I am also a huge fan of high cut leotards, and they have some brilliant ones that would look so damn good on modern figures. Any paths you know to get that stuff over to modern figures?

Happy to help.

For converting I think the best and easiest way are the converters from https://www.daz3d.com/catalogsearch/result/?q=rssy+converter .

For this particular bathing suit https://www.daz3d.com/rssy-clothing-converter-from-victoria-4-to-genesis-8-female this is the one that fits.

Also Luciel's suggestion sounds pretty good.

This is a fast example of using Fit control to convert https://www.daz3d.com/realfit-hipster-bikini.

In first image I have the original on the left and the modified with fit control add-on on the right. Note that I did this pretty fast but there are a lot more sliders to this even more accurately.

The second image I have the same hipster bikini on the left but modified only with it's own morphs, and the same modified with fit control on the right for comparison.

Leony is one I like

I believe Lucas's poor sale performance isn't so much due to him being young and Male ... but that he wasn't such a convincing character. Mousso's new Asher is also young and Male and seems to perform well.

I agree (as I suggested in my post). I think Mousso's new character is doing well because Keanu. I don't know if there is another male person alive with more cred among our ilk than Keanu.

I agree with your points about Lucas and especially his skin problems.

I think Asher looking like Keanu certainly helps ... but I think what's more important is that he is simply very well made, a typical Mousso character. Now he might not perform equally well compared to female characters sales-wise and it might also factor in that he is not DO, like the rest of Mousso's characters. But I hope he sells well compared to other males and hopefully Daz will take notice.

Finally finished putting my cart together and placed the order. Shopping for a sale like this really sucks on my phone, both because I can’t filter by wishlist and because I can’t hop between tabs as easily. 

Congrats, I am still struggling to decide on some items. It would be so much easier if we could pick more from people and wearables.

It's weird we have to pick the same amount of stuff from animations and poses as from people and wearables. Would have been better if it was people and poses for one and wearables for another, or all combined for double the amount.

I think that most young males are bland. They lack personality or any distinct features and are just generic. Asher is one to break out of that pattern, that is why he is so well received.

I could totally get behind a young male if he has a look that said something.

I also think that it's funny how Daz is full of gorgeous women but very few of the men are attractive. What up with that?

Because men are allowed to have character. Women must simply be beautiful.

Hmm thats a hard one.  Hopefully someone will come in with an answer. You might can message the artist but it looks like its an older render so they may not even know anymore.  Couple I found that might be at least close? (I don't own either so I cant test morphs to see if they can get the same shape)

Michael 4 and Victoria 4 can't be installed via Connect (install tab in DS) due to the system they use for morphs. That's true for the base figures and their morph packs, but clothes, hair, accessories and most characters can be installed with Connect.

This took me way too long to figure out when I first started using DS.

Hello, my name is Jon and I'm new using DAZ Studio. I have questioned the female sets that you sell on the website or any other site that supports the DAZ Studio. Can those female sets be animated to do video clip?

or no it's just for photo work. See 2 examples of what I mean on the female sets. Thanks and I hope someone can help me with this question.

While I apprechiate artist creating male content, I am quite often disappointed by the content we get. Why is it always pretty white ladies, the asian one who got released a couple of days ago, she is so pretty. I haven't bought her yet, I'm waiting for a sale because this March Madness has drained my wallet quite badly. But everytime we get a new male character, it's old, uninteresting. At least to me. There is 1 item from the bundle I actually wanna get, but that's it. Create a high quality male teen character, just like teen Josie or any others, that way people will buy them in pairs. Just my 2 cents

I'm sorry, but which store are you looking at? Because I must respectfully disagree. :P

A lot of the characters are matching pairs. Leroy and Nida, Jonathan and Josephene, Kanade and Yuzuru, Deigo and Gabriela, Elios and Ellithia, Sanjay and Kala, Mr Woo and Mrs Chow, Ollie and Edie, Floyd and Mabel, Monique and Darius, Victoria and Michael, etc...it's not like they're only making young girls and old men.

Also, you've got characters like Deigo, Silas, Yuzuru, Sanjay, Nix, Lee, The Brute, Landon, a pretty diverse cast of male characters who aren't old.

If you don't mind me asking, what exactly would you consider an "interesting" male character?

Apparently there is a lack of Teen males. I saw more than one person complain about this.

In my mind there's nothing special about a teen and there are already a few teen males that are great, without the need for a DO character for it, but that is just my preference. I have 0 interest in a teen male.

 

Well, I can agree with that. Just look at the new releases. 2 MORE Teens for G8F. 0 for Males overall. I don't know why that is, but apparently they don't sell. The only reason why I'd wanna buy a teen male is for the skin texture, and morph it further. I just don't think it's fair to have that more females... But on the other side, I understand PAs, why would they spend their time creating something and risk not selling enough.

If there was a very interesting teen male maybe I could be interested in him but the previous generation teens were so generic and bland that I would not be.

I think there are so many other interesting types of characters we don't have yet that caucasian teen male is not one I would be interested in. For example Dasan 8 is very interesting, he looks like he has a back story to him. 

Of course this is only my opinion. If there are enough people interested in a teen male, why not have a pro bundle for that.

Another thing I would want to mention though is that lately I see a pattern for pairs of characters being released: CJ and Dain, Leroy and Nida, Jonathan and Josephine. Because of that I would expect a pair to Dasan to be released before anything else.

Maybe the chance for the teen male was missed after Raven of Josie. 

Male-M3dia made some G8 male teens that are perfectly good and I think better than something Daz would have come out with to be honest. The downside is that they are only shapes with no textures.

After seeing your response, Laurie, I decided to go ahead and post what I was not going to post:

According to Daz representatives from the past, young males sell poorly, even to the point that Tween Ryan 7 was virtually given away for free as a new release. (Perhaps marketing figured, "We're gonna lose money anyway; so, let's buy some customer goodwill instead").

Also, Lucas 8 is late teen to early twenties, and he is probably one of the least popular G8 Core figures, which solidified Daz's original contention (although his orange, waxy, featureless skin and lack of morph personality may be more of a factor in low sales than his age and gender). BTW, Altern8 fixes Lucas 8's skin very nicely.

Although young male is the character category that is least interesting to me, I still need them for scene fillers. This past weekend I was finally able to pick up some wishlisted young males at a price befitting their value to me---though not their high quality: Justin, Josh, Jeremy, & Nick. Them, along with Male-M3dia's unparalleled male teen morph packs (these morphs easily rival Core figure quality in detail and distinctiveness) and skins like Nix 8 and Gage (as well as Genesis 8 UV Swap to use female skins) make it possible to field an entire teen male sports team as well as their opponents with no repetition.

The character is 50% Teen Josie and 50% Charlotte.  It's a favorite combo of mine. For her skin, I used Bramble HD.
Her Hair is OOT Dark Ponytail with Bangs #2 from OOT Mega Updo Hair.

The character is 50% Teen Josie and 50% Victoria. The skin is Victoria 8 with some shader tweaking (of course).
Her hair is again a combo.  OOT Mega Updo Scalp and Bangs #2. The back fall is Goldtassel's Jolie Hair. Goldtassel has several hairs that have interchangable parts and outoftouch has some too... so I mix and match them together and use Sloshwerk's ColorWerks Hair Shaders for Iray to tie them all together.

I hope this was helpful.

Thank you so much!  Lovely model!

Just wanted to send out my deepest thanks to Windfield for making such great hair products! Today's release, Monica Hair, was one of the fastest times I've ever carted an item. I absolutely LOVE it. I love all of the Windfield hairs that I have, and I just wanted to extend my sincerest thanks for such superb items! Thank-you!

That blonde character is fantastic.  Is that a commercially available one or something you created yourself?  If it's available do you mind sharing her name?

Also for those interested here is a thread I created a while back on how to make transmap hair into dForce enabled using weight maps, for anyone interested in experimenting.

She's actually pretty much straight out-of-the-box Tara 2 HD by Kayleyss. Did a couple of minor surface adjustments, and combined a slight bit of morph from Aurore by the same vendor, but other than that, this is how she comes.

Ooops, I passed on her because of the demon part. I guess I made a mistake! D:

If I understand correctly, DAZ Install Manager currently only supports tags that are assigned to products by DAZ.

To help organize large content libraries in DIM, it would be useful if users could assign their own tags to items.

For example, I'd like to be able to tag products by generation -- Genesis 8, Genesis 3, Michael/Victoria 4, etc. -- and by type -- people, animals, props.

This would be helpful in simplifying library organization, reinstalls, etc.
