to be clear, there are 2 G9 products .. FREE ..G9 Starter Essentials,
and G9 Character Essentials which you pay for ? and no way, at this time to morph the face shape, etc. or the body. 
 

Something new to check out meanwhile - G9 comes with a new feature called Utilities in the parameter dials. Some interesting new options available in there :D

With the script in this video you can change the base shape to either male or female, fit your clothing and dial up the non gender shape to check the fit. The advantage with that is you can turn on smoothing and it will smooth to base giving you the best fit and results. This makes it easier for users who prefer to create on a gender shape. After you're done you export the obj and use the transfer utility as usual.

You do need to be on DS 4.21 to use Utilities

I looked at the Intro bundle, and don't think it's worth the $111. I'll eventually get Victoria 9 and various morph packages when they're available.

the gentital morph is in this package? i dont see it in the file list.

GeoGraft not morph, and it should be. Most people seem to have them, but not maps to match the base textures (which I understand should be there).

currently there seems to be just the merchant resource morph pack, but the price is 10k for body and another 10k for head morphs, and no, no mistakes in those prices..

where do you see that?

If only Carrara could be provided with updated FBX import/export  - maybe that would fix things. Seems to be the default transfer method these days.

Is Genesis 9 Character Essentials just eyebrows & eyelashes? It only lists those 2 in the area that says what is in the pack.

Seems to be. Plus "anatomical elements".

The anatomical elements are in the Character Essentials product.  The male version is much like what was sold for Genesis 8.  The female version has external details but only one morph (realism if I remember correctly).  There were no textures included for the anatomical elements.

The gen grafts (not morphs) are not in the file list because they are a separate item bundled with the character essentials.

thanks. i really dont need all those eyebrow and eyelsh colors and styles.

Details

Genesis 9 Character Essentials is must-have set to create diverse, lifelike characters. With Genesis 9 anatomical elements, over 100 eyebrow options, half of which are card-based to work better in games, 32 eye colors, and 7 eyelash styles with 9 color options and separate control of the lower and upper lashes, you'll design unique characters like a pro."

so i clicked on Nivida Iray and all the textures attached, but if i try to move in the scene they fade like i'm rendering and i can't navigate. all i want to to is render this scene, transfer to Blender and then transfer to Unity. there's no Daz to Unity Bridge on this product. https://www.daz3d.com/the-alley i'm looking for Nvidia iray tutorials that address this movement and seeming render problem, but i'm not finding any. sorry, folks. i'm clueless here. i've never worked with environments in Daz, just characters.

From the last couple of YouTube videos from Jay, it looks like there will be a head/body morph pack coming. just as was the case for G8, except they might be in one pack this time.... maybe.

Thanks, I'll try and be patent and wait for the release.  :) 

You don't need to transfer it, I just meant that other appl;ications can have the same issue and so you may find generic advice beyond the daz forums - though it has been discussed, and various suggestions/workarounds offered, here too.

I tested just G9 without V9 and am frustrated without morphs and expressions yet but played with what there was, mostly just assymetry morphs and pose controls for face. The first two are the same character one with female skin/morph, the other male with male skin but the same character, interesting..The second was using hair for V8 which loads sideways and you have to conform the hair as a full body suit (no option for hair) and it loses all its bones.You can't even load it so it's upright so you can manually adjust it with XYZ and parent! Also the worst thing are there is no lip or iris surfaces so you can't adjust colors or gloss to lips or irises which is something I do on most renders! I like most everything else about it and when there are morphs/expressions it will be much better but the lack of separate facial surfaces kills it for me. Hoping PAs come up with ways to fix these issues! My use of G9 will be very limited unless these things are addressed!

I changed the texture of the hair which looked too dark and dry to me but the skin textures are default. and use the default HIDRI that looks much better on G8 than on G9. Will definitely have to use different lighting but I was still using DS4.14 beta before this which I hope still works!

 

Quick partial render with default HDRI with more extreme tone mapping settings.It drives me crazy that I can't add gloss or color to lips! This really kills it for me!

In regard to the hair, I still use G8 hair,  I just parent it when G9 is in the default pose and then I can still use all the settings for the hair :) 

That didn't work for me. Hair loads sideways and it's really hard to manipulate it so it's upside right! When you do conform hair, it won't take textures, gets an error. Someone in another thread posted a workaround but it's REALLY complicated! I really hope a PA comes up with a workaround!

The figure is an in-beteween between the male and female shape. Go to the shaping tab, there should be a slider for the male/female morph.

A SLIDER????? The difference between men and women is a slider?????

I'm a man not a SLIDER!!!!!

A cisman or a transman? 

With enough research and patience (and trial/error experimentation) we can make our own clothing convertors, which work with both Auto-Fit and Transfer Utility.

I'm totally Jazzed about Genesis 9! Doesn't mean we need to abandon anything. I still use some pretty early generations still.

Genesis 1 blew me away with how much could be done with it. It wasn't perfect, but it's still awesome to this day.

Genesis 2 through 8 made leaping advances, and 9 is no different. 

I think I'm going to love the FACS on dials! 

Just the Free Essentials pack (all I have so far, but that'll soon change, I think) comes with a really nice setup! Free!!!
