I saw a Victoria 8 HD morph today.  I thought the Genesis 8 meshes were already HD.  I realize I didn't read it in any of the descriptions, but I guess I wrongly assumed this.

I assumed this too and am pretty annoyed that it isn't the case. I thought that was one of the selling points of Genesis 8. Not happy to find out there are yet more "add-ons" needed for the HD. It should be part of the new line and the Pro packs. 

Yeah, I think I agree. Plus, there is just NO way that I'm going to pay 40 smackers regular price for an HD morph. No way. I'm not even going to pay 23 and change. It's just too much. I don't normally complain too much about prices but holy smokes....

I have a request to make, do you know if there are any free sweaters with a shirt collar for Victoria 4?  Any help would be appreciated.  Thanks!

Also, another request: Are there any Time Machine props available for DAZ Studio for free?

They never said the base figure was HD; the only thing that was by default was the expressions.And, quite honestly, if HD ever comes included with any DAZ Original (including Genesis 9), I simply will not download it, because I do not need the useless (to my prefered art style) content filling my hard drive; yes, I have a terabylte hard drive, but I still don't see the need to install content I have no interest in using.

Mei Lin. Definitely Mei Lin. Excellent character and my favorite general purpose skin by far.

The only HD morphs I use are Zev0's vascularity morphs and Aging Morphs; I have Victoria 7HD and have only trird it one time.

I really only use HD for the men, where more details in the hands and face are needed to avoid excess smoothness. Enough vendors now make their famele characters Hd, that buying DAZ 3d hd morphs is not neccessary for me.

I'm confused by today's sale. I thought Victoria 8 was already HD. I thought that was a selling point of Genesis 8. Apparently now we "need" an add-on to make it so? I'm annoyed by that. 

Only certain parts are HD.

I agree, selling HD morphs separate from the main character is a money grab. A character just isn't the same thing without their HD morphs. They should now be incorporated in the pro pack. Plus enough vendors now include HD morphs for female characters that I never buy them for the ladies anymore.

The V8 HD product is a set of High Definition morphs for V8 to bring an extra amount of detail.

It does not change the actual mesh of the Genesis 8 figure, it just uses a subdivided mesh to bring in details that you would not ordinarily be able to achieve with a base level mesh.

See the details between the pic on the left and the one on the right?......the right is the HD details

IIRC none of the base textures for the Genesis series of figures comes with genital textures, you need to use a different texture set ie Victoria 7's.

I have this same issue with over 1600 products out of 4400+ total.  That is almost half of my library of products.  It would take me forever to edit metadata for all of these.  And a lot of these are not old products such as Aiko 6, Blackout for Genesis 2 Females, Dark Heart for Genesis 2, even Victoria 6 and 6 HD.

I also tried uninstalling all the StudioCF and PoserCF files through DIM since I don't use Poser.  Those are all in Lost and Found as grey tiles.

Can someone please tell me how to fix this Smart Content issue? 

Genesis 8 is basically just genesis 3 in most of the main areas. I personally think the HD morphs should be part of the character now.

Yea. I'm confused as well.  I thought Victoria 8 was HD already.  Now it has me questioning what I know about HD. What is it exactly?  Is it just an updated mesh with more "resolution" or does it come with updated texture maps as well?

U means it's user data, created by you, not vendor data, from the store. Since it's user data it doesn't hook up to a store product that can be downloaded. Presumably either you somehow saved, or triggered a save inadvertently, as a new product - that product now has no files unless you reinstall the original sore product; alternatively it may indicate an error in the metadata, but I'm not then sure how it could have been installed in the first palce.

Head and body morphs installed by DIM show up as user data by default in the Smart Content tab. The thumbnails are greyed out but you can still use them. I never update metadata inside the Studio application since it screwed up my installation twice already (eg. duplicate entries in Smart Content like Victoria 5, missing thumbnails after update, etc.). 

Hi. I wish to export morphs for New Genitalia For Victoria 7 with the model, from Daz 3D to other 3d packages (iclone and 3DS Max). My problem is with the FBX export not showing the NGV7 morphs in morph rules in the export dialogue when setting up the export for the character. Is there another way to export morphs for this feature for the character?

If you are looking for samesex couple poses then I think Aeris on Rendo has the best so  far of the romantic poses. I've bought all of hers and I think they are very good. Her latest one Romance for All is generally pretty good and has poses for both sexes, and straight and gay and lesbian couples, although, I would personally prefer to have just more of the lesbian and gay poses because  I already own so many straight couple sets, that I don't think I can use more of those.

 She has occasional oddness in the posing of some of her characters, but nothing a few adjustments can't fix

RenderguyNY also has a great freebie marriage set: https://www.daz3d.com/forums/discussion/comment/1270176/#Comment_1270176   Although usage rights aren't clear to me. The link is in the thread.

Of the poses sold here, FeralFey's sets, several have nice variety and have poses for both gFor standard poses Shimzu, and Muscleman, are usually a good bet.

I do have the issue with the height for romantic poses as well. Owen and Boyd aren't the same height, due to Boyd's being bio-engineered and nearly 6'8' big tall. Owen is not short by any means. But Boyd is just super tall and. I find it tough to portray sometimes as the couples sets are for similar-sized characters. But I have that issue wish Vicky and Mike too, because Victoria is quite tall, and I tend to like her a bit shorter.

I really want to see more poses for Genesis 8 male.... I find the existing poses somewhat limited to modeling and flexing poses which I don't need as much of. There are only so many story reasons artistically I need a character will strike up a modeling pose.

Glad to hear you've fixed the issue with the shoes. Thats an interesting solution, I actually don't' own cross fit so I will have to try it. I thought of you, because I liked the fact that a recent dress I used had separate pumps for each foot, which I really like. I like being able to have a character with one shoe off and one shoe on. I think it would make fitting them easier too. I wish more PA's would separate the shoes like that.

For Genesis 3 female the base model came with different eye color materials (labeled Jeane)

I do not see this for Genesis 8, how do you change the eye color in the default model?

There are eye colors for Elizabeth, Victoria 8, but not the base model?

For Genesis 3 the base model produced nice Iray renders without having to do any lighting or render affects (just with default head lamp),

Genesis 8 is dark/pale/fadded with the default render settings. What is the easiest way to render Genesis 8?

I tried changing the Iray render settings to use Exposer = 13.1, F/stop = 7, File ISO = 140 and this improved the color, but it this the best way?

Conversely Victoria 8 now seems to render nicely with defaults, where as Victoria 7 was dark.

Also if I apply a Genesis 3 pose to Genesis 8 the arms go crazy (bent at odd angles behind their back), and ideas how to fix?

Is there ever going to be a version 9 (and beyond) or has Daz pretty much stopped developing Carraraall together? It would appear they have.

my internet is faster than yours lol

So I guess that since a new version of Carrara hasn't been released in over four years Daz will have to cull themselves and sell it somewhere else 

are you trying to defy logic :)

Carrara be their best selling software

if you google daz Carrara you get
