Just have your male identify as female: Voila!

Happy to confirm that clothing does work like this in real life, and a shirt automagically becomes a woman's shirt when loaded on a woman. I've also never encountered clipping while swapping from a feminine morph to a masculine morph. No warping issues on autofit, either!

yea the template would be much better to use. I would try exporting an obj instead and use that with the templates

Do you mean use the OBJ I exported from MD with the Transfer Utility in DS, just like we have done for G8?

Yes :)

• Are the skins compatible and if not what is the difference ?

No, because the UV is different. 

• Will we be able to transfer G8 heads to G9 with a tool one day?

Probably

• Will we be able one day to have a converter of pose, if yes, towards which date ?

Jay Versluis, during the video that introduced V9/G9 to the public, used a G8 to G9 pose converter, so I would imagine it will be released soon.

Daz could have indicated the incompatibilities between G8 and G9.
Now, we know that the G8 poses aren't compatible with G9.

I haven't tried Genesis 9 Starter Essentials yet, because I prefer to wait until I know more about this new version.
Also, it will probably take several months to get G9 characters in the store.
Let's hope G9 lasts as long as G8 though, because using these new versions wastes a lot of time.
For now, I'm going to read the user posts.
Thanks to everyone who will talk about their problems with the G9.

So when do you think we'll be able to use Face Transfer on Genesis 9? I tried and all it did was import a clothed Genesis 8 Male figure and applied the transfer to it. I haven't tried again to see if that was just a fluke.

More stylized than I'd prefer, but the custom body shape gives it away...  Bettina is Hayley Atwell

-EDIT- I didn't see previous post when I was doing my own, LOL... cannot seem to delete, so there we go... (even used the same image)

I've managed to morph my own super convincing model for Hayley Atwell if you want her too. I'll upload her to this thread very soon too after I finish compiling her setup files for Daz3D Studio directories.
 

Still there... work around worked until I saved the posed figure and tried to load it into a scene. 

How do I get rid of the properties which seemed to transfer from the pose preset to the character I posed?

Those are "supported shapes" for the clothing items, not morphs included in the package. Default morph packages should be released soon (and it's pretty surprising they didn't launch on day one (but then, not that surprising considering it's Daz)) that will contain those actual morphs.

What were your settings in Transfer Utility? Remember that default G9 is in between masculine and feminine, so you'd need to set your source to "current" or "morph".

This way gives V9 her own day of glory so to speak ;-)

I'm fairly sure that the morph bundles, etc. will follow over the next weeks, months, etc. as they usually do.

I for one am not disappointed with the Bundle although a little surprized that the a.e. have to be yet another purchase - but the price isn't bad at all. And for those down the road in time I'm sure they will appreciate that they don't have to shell out for a full Pro bundle just to get a set.

That might be one way to look at it, but I have to disagree. Genesis 8 at least offered some compatible features with G3, you could drop most G3 skins right on 8. Poses would work, and only needed a small adjustment. With 9, however, few things work on G9. You can't drop your old skins on it. Poses do not work at all. So people are truly starting all over again, and we have to remember that we have not had to start over again since 2017.

G3 to G8 isn't exactly a fair comparison, because G3 and G8 had nearly identical meshes and the same UV. The biggest difference between them in terms of non-morph content was the switch from T pose to A pose. Hell, a lot of people complain that G8 wasn't different enough from G3 and should have just been an upgrade to G3. I wasn't around in those days, but I expect the transition from, for example, G2 to G3 was much more jarring to people used to the older figure, and it's only because G8 has been around so long that the leap to G9 seems so onerous.

1st question: Created a very basic long sleeve top. It fits when I bring it into DS but when I use the transfer utility it seems to distort the mesh. Why? Does this mean that clothing needs to be slightly bigger?

I had to look, and Genesis 8 launched on October 12, 2017. So it has been exactly 5 years since Genesis 8 launched. And frankly, people got used to Genesis 8 being "the" Daz model. People who had stuck to Victoria 4 for ages finally moved on to Genesis 8. That is what Genesis 8 accomplished. Also keep in mind that Daz was doing some wild bundling in the Genesis 8 early days. Remember how buying a bundle they gifted like 2 or even 3 Pro bundles with it? This really pushed people to take the leap that might not otherwise. I was one of them.

I also don't feel the bundle is really offering anything. One single hair, one single pose pack, 3 very not everyday clothing items (unless you wear a bikini or fetish wear everyday day), expressions, and a make up pack. It is a pretty sparse bundle. When you look at past bundles I see more in the older bundles. Victoria 8 has 2 hairs, 2 pose packs, FIVE outfits covering more variety, expressions, and 2 extra characters. V8 also had makeup included with her base, not sold separately. Granted, I suppose the makeup product with V9 has more stuff, but still, it is sold separately and considered one of of the products included with the bundle.

That just doesn't drive value to me.

So now Genesis 9 is starting over in many ways, and I would bet some good money that a lot of people are going to wait. 

I like that Genesis 9 has 4 male and 4 female skins, that is pretty cool. So there's that. But I am talking about the Victoria 9 bundle itself. So after playing with these I am just sitting here thinking why would I even need Victoria 9 anyway? It is just not compelling to me. Victoria 9 is not ugly, but I am just not into her all that much. Maybe someday I'll get the character by itself.

The base characters are, like all the previous Genesis generations, rather blah.  The male character looks almost the same as the female character, the only difference being the texture maps have beard shadow.  It's nice that there is a variety of skin colors to choose from but all the characters look the same. Since it is likely 3-6 months before the DAZ male characters start to show up, I hope that the basic morph packs (head, body, expression) appear soon.  I would like to have something to play with in Genesis 9.

Anyone know what causes this? Is it simply a setting I need to change?

That's most likely caused by the hair cap intersecting with the forehead.  Look for a morph in the hair to adjust it. In OOT hairs it's usually called "forehead depth" or similar. A few percent will fix it.

Thanks I'll give that a try.

mmm wonder why mine fail to import, shall try my other computer Win10, was my Win 7

same thing i/0 error

maybe upload your eye duf (it's just a character preset so OK)

Here you go, was for the female morph applied to one - also shaders need some work to get to operate okay.

 

works 

I wonder why mine doesn't though, 2 computers, 2 installs, 2 libraries 

mmm D|S4.21? 

Good to hear that it works for you !!!

Am running DAZ Studio 4.10

AHa

that could be the secret sauce, I have 4.11 on my Win7 but used the 4.21 beta 

same error basic wear but autofitted stuffs saved as support assets work

and grew a nice mane of dynamic hair on him (simulated animation ) Mimic plugin works with 8.1 configuration dmc too!
