Diito. But ... I had an orange banner, which disappeared (no I did not x it off) still have a msg for exclusive offer, own 2 M Bundles (3 if you count Carrara 8.5 pro), yet in reality my discount after carted is zilch-zero. I amlogged in and refreshed cart off and throughout the day. Anyone else seeing this?
I for one am heartily enjoying this "problem" in theory. The outfits looks extremely rushed and lacking details, though. Compare Dark Prince to Throne Defender which was V8's equivalent. I can't decide if it's just the lighting, or the texturing, or what.
I love the promos for the launch. They're all just lovely fanservice like Victoria usually gets.
I am wondering if the brows can be adjusted or if there will be more fit for the brows. It'd like to be able to make them a bit smaller. They cover a fair amount of real estate, and there are times when he almost looks Frida Kahlo as they cover nearly most of his forehead. It doesn't help that they are pretty solid colored so they can look a bit stark.
I really like this Mike
Such a jock 
Hmmm... I thought I was going to say that I absolutely love him. But after looking at some of the renders, I'll wait. I've got so much Michael stuff, all the freebies don't make it worth getting the pro bundle . I did pick up the morph packs and I'll play around with the base character for a while. Hopefully, my DSL will be back up tomorrow so I can download.
Happy rendering, y'all.
I'm hoping that we see a M8 brow product in the store soon. I think M8's brows are nice and manly which of course is what they should be. However they could use a bit of barbering.
Maybe Redz will do another update for Oh My Brows for G8M the way they did for G8F. (And also hopefully for Oh My Body Hair. Though autofit should be able to handle that without mangling, or they can just be rerigged by users. The brows would be a misery, though.)
I hope so! I did try to fit redz brows.. I wasn't successful.
M8s brows have a texture problem on my machine. Also once you start making your own facial shapes it is necessary to be able to change the shape of the brows. I would like to be able to move them slightly and tilt the angles.
More renders of Michael 8, please! I'm kind of on the fence about getting him now and I'd love to see some more renders of him.
Getting in some end of summer beach time :-)
(Please remembrer to limit the width to no more than 800 px. ~Mod)
Art imitating life imitating art perhaps.
I tried the two provided Michael 8 translucency settings (Medium 0.5 and High 0.65). The bump map setting seems to be too high, even though I don't think the translucency settings changed the bump setting. Compare the attached Michael 8 renders that I made with the various translucency settings that were provided in the product. For example, his shoulder shows a drastic bump change between the default translucency setting and the other two settings. These translucency settings don't seem to be appropriate for the other M8 shader settings. Also, there is no setting to return the translucency to the default value of 0.9 that he was loaded.
I have submitted a help request.
Click the images and then click again for a larger view to see the bump detail.
Michael 8 character loads with translucency 0.9 on the skin
Translucency High Setting (0.65)
Translucency Medium (0.5)
There is something definitely wrong with Michael's triceps. This becomes really obvious if you dial the bodybuilder details to 100%.
Thanks, I'll have to look for it.
Anyone getting callouts and gray blocks when loading M8 from the Characters folder? Also, where is the G3M figure load like we have for all the other base figures?
I'll try re-downloading, but just curious if I'm the only one.
Have you installed the Genesis 8 Male Starter Essentials ?
Yow. That looks terrible. And is it just a trick of the angle, or is his left arm actually slightly longer than the right one?
I don't think so. I think it's because his left shoulder is down. There is a problem with that muscle tho ;).

A tricep does not pop unless flexed so yea, even in a partially flexed arm like the tricep should not be that bulged out. It does look very very strange to me. I remember when I was first getting into creating my Bruno morphs I did similar things and you really have to make sure and add in a little bit of the tendon that connects to the elbow as well as the tricep long head to bulge out with the rest for a smoother, more relaxed transition...
OMG, no. I thought the essentials were part of that Dim thing. Then I thought maybe they're on the Michael 8 dl page, but they weren't, so I was stumped. I never thought of looking at 'Genesis 8 Starter Essentials' beause the last time I looked there, it was only the G8F stuff. Now they have both G8F and G8M essentials on the same page. Go figure. Thanks.
Out of the box M8 at about 76% some small morph tweaks using the Head and Body morphs.
Just a quick render of G3M with one of the hairs from the bundle. No postwork, just straight out of DS except for my sig and flattening to jpg. I played with PowerPose because it's the first time I have in....well ever. I used the High Translucency setting for the skin and had Normals ON. Lighting is a Dimension Theory Probe from either the base pack or one of the addons.
Edited to say: I don't like the bangs on this hair when you let them hang down. They look like they're a separate little chunk of hair that is detached from the main one. Wish it was more incorporated. Guess if I use this hair I won't do that again.
Left it big, so click on it to see full size.
I would say that if you do want to use the bangs on that hair, use it with a hair cap first. That would hide the fact that his hair is thinning and blend the bangs into the rest of the hair better
Actually the triceps are not that bad. about 20% bodybuilder, 80-ish % bodybuilder details and about 30% of vascularity from the massive morphs .
I really, REALLY would like to use Genesis in Poser, but there are just too many issues. So, for most of the time, M4 is still my fallback. Nevertheless, I think I will be getting the M8 Pro Bundle. I have all but one of the other bundles, so it's still a decent deal. And I know I'll want to use M8 at some point in the future.
Whoa... Too bad Michael doesn't have that shape "out of the box". I would have bought him by now. lol Dang, that looks fantastic!
Decisions, decisions. I really like the Pro Bundle, except for that one outfit -- there's always one, eh? Michael 4 is my main man and Genesis 2 is now getting some serious play on my part (yep, I'm really behind the times, lol!) That makes me stop and consider just how much use he will be to me. Pro bundle has all kinds of goodies and there are the bonus bundles to consider since I barely have any G3 male stuff and skipped M7 because he didn't appeal enough to me to make me overlook the whole Daz Studio only issue, whereas M8 does. But that is a big issue because there's no guarantee that Studio, my finicky system and I will get along well enough to justify the expense. So it's a question of Starter bundle plus morph packs and any bonuses that go with it or just M8, the morph packs and a few bits here and there until things are more settled. Speaking of bits, I know, only Pros come with those and he probably won't be able to borrow anyone else's. But I prefer to buy my toast at that other store as they have a much bigger selection.
I stand corrected. Effeminacy is not an ironclad indicator of sexual preference, to wit, Michael Jackson and Prince. Please pardon my inappropriate observation.

Where do I get a cap? Thx.
I think he is a good purchase. I like his bod. I don't like the head at all, but hopefully it will be only a matter of time before enough morphs come along to change that.
