    I don't think so. People are quite capable of making morphs, yet we all still buy them.

    I agree, even if you'd have plugin (I assume it is a plugin or updated Morph Loader of sort) that is capable to properly add high resolution morphs to the mesh, I presume that people still will need to have some software that is capable of sculpting such morphs, such as ZBrush. Making of HD morphs will need more time and effort purely because of all details they can add, and many people just don't bother even to make Hexagon morphs, with Hexagon being both inexpensive and integrated into DS solution. Level of Elite morphs and - moreso Elite textures - was so exclusive because it relied on high end physical hardware (big 3D scanners, live models) but HD morph helper is most probably purely digital thing.
    So to tl;dr my long paragraph I don't think that release of HD morph helper will damp commercial HD morph making in any way.

    We'll be able to buy characters that will utilise the HD morphs, but, I don't think they'll be available to non PA's.

    CHEERS!

    bundle prices just changed. :)

    The $180 price tag on the M6 Pro Bundle and whatever the price tag on the Starter Bundle were mistakes. The prices were supposed to be comparable to the V6 Pro and Starter Bundles. If you check the product pages you will see that the price has been lowered to reflect that.

    We will automatically be adding store credit to those who over payed for either of the bundles.

    Also, the morphs required for the characters in the M6 Pro and Starter Bundles should be released within an hour.

    Still, again, a pro bundle without head & body morphs?? That is a definite NO SALE for me.

    Thank you very much, Jared, those are extremely nice news to hear.

    I'm happy that my fears came ungrounded.

    But wait, I just realized it means I can't now fly into berserker viking rage, swinging axes, singing songs and chewing on those shields that were so conveniently provided as this week (sort of) freebie! Awwwwwwww....T_T

    Thank you very much for both listening to your customer base and acting quickly to address the situation. As soon as the morphs hit the store, my credit card is going to be reduced to hiding in the back of my wallet and whimpering plaintively

    I have a question: will G2M Head and Body morphs in Bundle like G2F had them here? So far I only see them as separate items.

    Morphs are in the store now.

    Yes, there will be a bundle for the morphs. It's just a few minutes behind the individual products. If you are planning on buying both the head and the body morphs then wait for the bundle. You'll save a few bucks.

    Incidentally here are the links to the product pages for the head and body morphs:
    http://www.daz3d.com/new-releases/genesis-2-male-head-shapes
    http://www.daz3d.com/new-releases/genesis-2-male-body-morphs

    You can check out the promo images and while you wait for the bundle to go live.

    Please don't assume that the price rise is some kind of counter to the discount coupon - given that the latter runs for only a couple of weeks and the pricing, if correct, will stand for a lot longer that's a bit of a leap.

    I agree. In all the years I have purchased from DAZ 3D, they have never done that. It would make sense if they explained why the price jump or made corrective action. The former is unlikely, but the latter is possible. They did it a few years back on some V4 products.

    Just don't get upset yet. They released stuff last night (EST), and they will sort things out this afternoon (EST).

    Their telephone customer service is excellent (or better than excellent). They will work to make things right.
    They always have in the past.

    Jared, from the moment Genesis hit the store the morphs suddenly are a separate purchase, which were included in the pro bundles of Gen4. Why has this changed?

    Morph bundle and M4 Clone purchased.

    M6 Pro Bundle sitting in the cart for Saturday

    I really hope the MegaPrize coupon is re-usable. :)

    See I told you they would sort it out.

    Good job DAZ :-)

    Only wish you guys could avoid causing all these heart attacks with these mistakes. :-)

    Thanks Jared. How long will one have to wait for their account to have the funds available for the over pricing thing? I bought last night before all this was sussed out.

    Thanks.

    Morphs Bundle is in the cart waiting your reply...

    Jared (or whoever is in charge ;P)

    I just did a search in the store for Dan (yes, I am Eagerly awaiting FWArts Dan ;P) and well, it did give a hit.. but I highly doubt the price is suppsoed to be 0.00... not to mention that the product page is a 404, and the product can't be put into the cart either :)

    Here's the searchresult link - http://www.daz3d.com/catalogsearch/result/?q=dan&x=-1169&y=-43

    and here's the result when clicking on the product to go to the page - http://www.daz3d.com/fw-dan-megapack

    A price would be interesting to have too :) and of course, being able to bring this handsome fella home
