    Right. What happened to the basic Head and Body morphs and the basic expression package? We need these for the G8M base, regardless of whether we opt for M8. C'mon, people. The basic tools should be available when the base is.

    So I suppose this isn't what you're expecting ?

    No, more like this

    but for G8M

    Nope. They mean the male version of these, which are the basic morph sets daz always produce along side a figures release, essential for custom characters, expressions and tune ups wink

    Well he looks very realistic, I like him (not so much the hair on Quinton though lol).

    But does that mean we'll get an update of the main app with Base Gen8 Male ?

    You can download Genesis 8 Male Starter Essentials right now. 

    YESSSS thanks ! ^^

    It also includes some power poses, eager to see that.

    I see there's also an update on the Gen8 Female, any idea what it might be ?

    Yeah, those are on my list, I suppose they're must-have if you intend to do anything serious with Daz ? I feel like if you get these you don't need to add any pre-made character, am I right ?

    And do these make the one-click expression packs totally useless or are they complementary ?

    It all adds to your tool kit. Many (myself aswell) see them as the basic staples. The bread an butter so to speak. You could in theory just use them alone for your own characters for sure. But theres always things other later kits provide that these basic ones dont, and all character's also add to the genetic pool, and give you textures too. I always focus on these sort of partial morph kits first, Zev0 also does essential partial morphing kits among other PAs, highly recomend his products if you intend to get into custom characters smiley

    I was actually just pointing this out in a private group elsewhere and it will only get worse if you beef up/more muscular the model.

    Yes, we must be careful though. My orange banner is not correct. It states I own one previous pro bundle and that is incorrect, I own 2 previous pros, 3 if they include M5 that came with Carrara. They fixed this later with V8, maybe they will do the same in this case too.

    Yes, good advice, I own 4 Michael Pro bundles, and it says I only own 3. Not sure if to wait a while, or submit a support ticket. No orange banner either, so maybe I will wait a few more hours.

    Those are triceps but if flexed they are like that but he is not posed in a way that they are flexed and showing in either picture you posted. They should be showing the opposite.

    I do intend to, initially I was leaning more towards Make Human which allows to do that from the start and for free, but the render isn't quite as good and they lack all the props you have here.

    Zev0 ? Where can I find his stuff ?

    And I haven't had an answer to : is now (or, say, beginning of september if I want to use my next coupons) the best time to buy M8 or should I wait for additional promo ?

    In any case I don't think the add-ons in the bundles are essential, I think I'd rather choose some of them later, do you agree ?

    I'm not sure about him being good or otherwise. His face looks kind of standard 3D-ish but maybe I can't tell anymore.

    if you want him, buy him now. You MAY get some deep discount on him later, but I wouldn't bet on it happening in the next 12 months. V8's been out since June and hasn't had a deep discount on her at all.

    I think the Michael 8 promo hairstyle must be by RedzStudio. It has her look. I'll wait for it and the G8M head/body/expression morphs before getting Michael 8.

    Orange banners almost never show on my phone but they always do on my monitor. Did you check your messages?

    Hi HorusRa,

    I usually have no problem getting orange banners, but strangely nothing this time....BUT.... it is in my exclusive offers messages, but the number of owned Michael Pro bundles is wrong.

    I have bought Michael 4,5,6,7 Pro bundles in the past, and Daz has calculated this as owning 3 Pro bundles !  surprise  Hopefully just another Daz glitch (sigh).

    oh if you are a pc+ member our coupons not working right tried my daz origional $6 off coupon and only knocked off extra $2 of M8pro so maybe restricting discounts to the pc+ bonus and my other extra bonus, same too with the other $6 coupon when tried adding old stuff that is part of the sale didn't get that knocked off so maybe I'll just get the M8Pro with the two discounts already + the two older michael pro's I don't have for free and keep the coupons for the daz morphs/expressions packs that'll probably come out tomorrow or before end of month and older related content conected to those

    Yup, the PC coupon will only drop the price of the M8 pro bundle by less than $1 if you add all the free Michael pro bundles.

    I guess I'll also save the coupon for later until next week.

    I don't think they counted Victoria 4 in the last promo for Victoria 8 - so I they probably won't include Michael 4 as counting toward the number of pro bundles. I think they might be just counting the Genesis line.

    Y'know, I'm the same way. I'm not feeling the love for the G8 line at all, and don't like using them, except when I have to. And as for previous content....I'm currently going through my "Lost and found" categorization in Smart Content and I have products there that I have completely forgotten about. Including half a dozen or so stonemason products - so I'm installing it all, correcting the metadata so it will actually show in Smart Content, and I've realized...I don't need to buy stuff for a long long time.  

    Wonderland said:

    Sorry, just not into him. If he was real, I wouldn't date him. My favorite is still Michael 4. Like Victoria 8, I just don't find him attractive. I have more than enough males from previous generations and so far, I have to say, I'm just not impressed with Gen 8. I have soooo much content already, that I have a feeling I'll be good with just the G8 bases and morphs and some merchant resource morphs and may wait for G9 and great sales on older content...  Actually, I have more content than I could probably use in a lifetime, so I'm happy I'm not swayed to purchase him laugh

     

    How do you change the metadata to add to smart content? I still haven't figured that out...

    Haslor is working on a tutorial. If you have access to the PC forum, there's more about it there:

    Yes,

    Interestingly, they are counting the M4 Pro bundle as one of the FREE Michael Pro bundles, so maybe this is where I saw the confusion. It is quite feasable they may only be giving discount for Genesis Pro bundles owned, and if as you suggest, V4 wasn't counted, then my exclusive offer total is right.

    I have started to put some Michael 8 items in my cart, and the discounts are correct, so looks like I will be spending my day making purchases, downloading content, and doing that all important first render!  Happy days.

    I own the M5, M6, and M7 Pro Bundles, but no orange banner. And no Head/Body Morphs. indecision

    M8's face is nice and pleasant, a lot like M7, but at least in the promos his skin is very pale. And he is a bit skinny. Divamakeup is right: His muscles look pointed. Hm.

    Meanwhile, I love G8F (though not her feet; G3F's feet were much better), so today I'll try G8M Base...

    Are you looking at the bicep (which looks fine to me) or the lateral head of the tricep as that can look pointy as it wraps around, especially when flexing?

  • alienareaalienarea Posts: 526

    Just bought the M8 pro bundle.

    What I like:

    Unlike V8, all characters for M8 come with a no brow option :) :) :)

    The Sci-Fi settler pants cover the genitals if you expand them. When you bend the genitals up and left or right it's almost real

    What I don't like:

    We need morphs, there aren't even ones for height and size

    So far, the faces look meh

    I'm only getting 1.62$ off instead of 6$ off. I have M5, M6 and M8 in cart.

    Yeah, I noticed that issue as well: https://www.daz3d.com/forums/discussion/comment/2750866/#Comment_2750866

    Apparently it's a known glitch. Jakiblue recommends purchasing him without the free characters (so that the coupons work correctly) then sending in a support ticket for the free ones: https://www.daz3d.com/forums/discussion/comment/2750886/#Comment_2750886
