    I think you mean Cayman Studios, not Redz. Redz spcializes in hair, although she has some fine characters as well (often with hair included.)

    Cayman is the one with the geografted UV patches.

    I bought him but the free figures weren't added. :/ So I sent a message to sales...

    Also I tried the basic clothes, the shirt is mixed up with the shorts (poke-away, right ?). Hope it won't do the same with further clothes... Looks like a recurrent problem on many clothes though.

    The Basic Wear for G8M doesn't seem to be made very well, IMO. There usually isn't a big issue with poke through, particularly not with newer figure clothes. But these issues are not normal. Even with Smoothing and Collision, I'm still getting poke through:

    Again, that's just not normal. There seems to be an issue.

     

    Things seem to be okay on my end...

    Smoothing off and Interactive Update On is just wrong. I wonder why it's loading that way? Apart from anything else, Interactive Update has nothing to do when smoothing is off.

    Diva, what happens when you switch those settings manually?

    What about the G3M to G8M pose conversion?

     Genesis 3 to Genesis 8 Pose Converter was updated 8/22 that added Genesis 8 Male support.

    I actually really love the hair in the set and love the fact they are  short. I have too many long hairs already and don't need more... especially all the ones with the female hairlines.

    The triceps in the promos aren't like that on Micheal 8. The artist must have done something. On my Micheal they look normal. Could be a promo with one of the base morphs in.

    Slightley O.T. here: Had a laugh today, when read, as being part of the Michael8 pro bundle, Axel hair. As a german the name Axel sounds like "Achsel" , wich is the german word for an arm pit. Axel hair, so hillarious. laugh

    Masterstroke, though Alex is more common, Axel (for Alexander) is a real German name. But you are right - Axel really sounds like Achsel, that's why I dislike this name. The best laugh today for me was Zander. Zander in German is a very tasty - fish!  laugh

     

    And in French "accélère" means "go faster, so it's pretty fun too!!

    It is the default brow. I haven't gotten around to doing much with it yet.  It appeares to be something wrong with the textures. Oots hair shader fixed it for me.

    orange banner isn't up but check your exclusive offers in your messages section get extra bonuses if your lucky plus if you get michael don't forget to add any of the other michael bundles you don't have that are listed into your cart to get them free

     

    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, I have the same issue. I have purchased all four pro bundles but am only getting credit for three.

    Ah!

  • nonesuch00nonesuch00 Posts: 18,120

    There should be seperate morphs for muscularity & for 'flexed' muscles which should happen no matter if the muscularity muscles morphs are dialed in or not athough I have no ideal how you modelers implement that practically.

    Axel Hair does not look "right" for some reason. I would have preferred a longer hair style and the other shorter one included.

     

    Not sure what exactly "right" means?  Many males have shorter on the sides and more volume on the top. It's definitely in-style right now.  Do you just not like the combination?  However, one of the things I'd want to render and check would be how spiky the sideburns are though- the one promo which shows a different angle, they look pretty sharp. (which that cut can be- I just want to see if it's distracting.)

     

    The hairline is a little low (which is odd as most times my complaint is the hair line is too high) and the way the hair flls is odd to me. The flip back of his hair (and this is my opinion only, please take it for what it is worth) could only be managed with product.

    Just feels off but this is just my feeling and opinion. I certainly do not have the skill to make such a product.

    UV support is mostly native. If this is like G8F, Base Male and Michael 7 UV should work without too many issues. The other characters may need adjustment. (Elijah 7, for example, should be fine from underneath the pecs down, but from there up, the chest and shoulders probably won't look right.) I'd suggest that you ask @Redz if there was going to be a UV product for G3M-to-G8M as they did with G3F-to-G8F, but the latter product rather abruptly turned into a Daz Original, so they may not be able to say.

    As for morphs, if you don't use something like Singular Bliss' script, you'll need to wait and see if anyone is able to pick up the ball on a new version of something like GenX2. With Dimension3D/Ralf Sesseler's death, it's not clear that anyone will be able to do what he did.

    Don't some of the G3M's use special uv's that were created just for them like G3F has?  Yeah, maybe Redz will do something if, as you say, it doesn't get snatched up when Daz sees there's interest in it.  I do have GenX2, but I guess that won't work with him.  And Ralf, bless his heart, wish he was still with us.  I have many of his utilities.

    So even if you buy the pro bundles, morphs are a separate expense? Are later gensis figures able to use morphs that work on earlier figures? I have several from the first genesis and have not bought any genesis product since. I will likely still get the m8 pro because I get all the others for free, but just wondering if any come with morphs.

    @choppski Man... long time no see. Alas, no the morphs are not cross compatible without purchasing a tool for that.  Are you making the leap to Studio? I was just thinking about you the other day.

     

    Always been with studio, just a WAY older version. Now that I was forced to upgrade the rapidity with which hair renders has made me kick myself for not doing it sooner. But I am stressed to learn that I will need separate morphs for each figure, especially since a) I have many of my fav m4 figures setup as morphs for the basic genesis and b) I just bought the pro bundles for every michael since and cannot imagine forking over money for morphs for every one. And then I suppose I will need a texture converter. I am curious about the new body hair and beard options. So much to learn.

  • NathanomirNathanomir Posts: 125

    Michael 8 sure appeared a heck of a lot more quickly than anticipated. Major kudos to DAZ for that. Probably won't upgrade (still haven't, and probably won't upgrade to V8). Most of my guys are still M6s. I just like the way his face looks better than M7's.

    It's interesting, though, that we now have V8, O8, and M8, but still no V8 HD. Or did I overlook it?

    You can do that now if you follow the directions on the G3 to G8 thread.  I have all of my G3 female characters (131 of them) moved up to G8F and they work perfectly.  The skins don't need to be converted at all.

    I tried to follow it but i'm not that clever unfortunately.  I have 'foggy brain' and it's hard for me to follow along when it's a written thing.  I do better with videos.  Besides it seemed there were 2 or 3 ppl writing different variations and it kept getting updated and/or revised so often I couldn't keep up.  If someone makes a video tutorial for the process based on whoever's process is the most accurate (and easy), then I'd watch it over and over.

    I'm sorry, I know I had to go over it several times as well.  And its moved forward to a better script (I think, I haven't had time to really read through).  I'll keep an eye out and if i come across a video that explains things properly I will let you know.

    As IceDragonArt says, Singular Bliss' script is in the Morphs G3 to G8 thread at  https://www.daz3d.com/forums/discussion/comment/2707576/#Comment_2707576 -- there's also a link in their sigfile, but of course, you have to be in a thread where they've just posted to find it easily.

    And yes, several of the G3Ms use special UVs. (All of them, I think.) That's what I meant about Elijah 7; if you try to use LIE overlays on him, like tattoos, if they're meant to be used on Base Male UV, everything will be fine from somewhere below the chest to the feet. Above that, you start getting surprisingly large gaps between chest and shoulder joint area.  The G3M (Eddie) Base Male is identical, so Eddie's texture will be fine, and Michael 7 UVs will probably be just fine on G8M. Everyone else will likely have issues.

    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

    Thanks for the info.

    I just don't know if it's worth it for me right now. I mean, this is a good deal (although I would only be getting Michael 6 for free -- I have all the other Michael Pro Bundles). The problem is Poser compatability. I am using it more in my workflow right now and just don't know if this purchase would be used until next year...

    Sigh.

    I'm gonna sleep on it. But I am leaning toward getting the M8 Pro Bundle, just in case I want it for the future.
