    All the adult females - we still haven't seen Laura or Maddie on G2F.

    Mind you, I'd hope to see Luke with Laura, and Matt with Maddie.

    We don't even have a K4 shape (or whatever it is that we don't have for them) which I'd really love to have first. There's more clothes for the Kids4 than all the others combined and it's kinda silly having kids for the Genesis technology with no children's stuff to easily wear.

    As for G2M, it may be due to what I've purchased/installed for him but I was looking for something other than contemporary in my library the other day and found very little.

    There is no official K4 Shape for Genesis, but there is a K4 AutoFit clone, and it comes standard with Genesis. So any K4 clothing should AutoFit to Genesis just fine (subject to the typical AutoFit caveat that how well it works will depend on the clothing and on the shape of your Genesis character, of course).

    You're right, I was wrong on that score. But I may as well use K4 itself in order to use Morphlet. K4 without morphlet is like bacon and eggs without the bacon.

    We already got Josie and Jayden for the Teens this round. Children seem to be variant every generation with DAZ. Gen 2 has little Vicky & Mike, Gen 3 has Laura & Luke, Gen 5 has Julie & Justin, and now Gen 6 has Josie & Jayden.

    So, the only acceptation one could argue at this point is Kids. But even then, some of the DAZ team says that morphs like Genesis Child and Zev0's Growing Up are supposed to cover that niche.

    I have several male everyday clothing over at ShareCG, and a few for G2M, but there is only so much you can make for men. Trousers, shirts, suits, jumpers etc. The ladies are so much easier as they wear all sorts of different style dress, skirts and tops that you can have loads of them.

    I would disagree with this statement, there are tons of items men can wear. Other than trousers, there are combat fatigues, cargo pants/shorts, jeans, short shorts (as opposed to the knee length ones seemingly in large supply) soccer wear, gym clothes, sporting apparel, kilts, tracksuit pants/sweatpants in the US?, cut-offs, and then there's sci-fi items: metal and cloth mixed variants, or full metal legs over skin like cyborgs, and we haven't even discussed costumes yet.

    Stealth gear too, something that's matte not shiny latex looking. Kevlar mesh, titanium alloy, astral webbing.

    Or even Ironman style suits.

    And then there's evening wear, formal and informal, sleep wear (soft cloth pants, or pyjamas, yukatas, robes), school uniforms, sporting team jackets.

    And swimwear that isn't a pair of board shorts. Speedo style, or the ones like Daniel Craig wore in Casino Royale (can't recall the style's name), or Jammers (knee length swimming speedos like they wear in the Olympics), underwear in briefs, bikinis, thongs, boyleg, straight cut or lo-rise. With all appropriate morphs for a human male to need.

    I think they would sell well enough if they were made to complement the female characters. Aiko 6 with Hiro 6, in gear that could supply them as a Team, rather than two individuals. Olympia and Gianni are two warrior types, although Gianni has some great outfits, and Michael and Victoria having a team set would help boost sales in my opinion towards decent male outfits.

    Some of the female swimwear options are fantastic, they look great, but for those of us rendering a couple on the beach are stuck with a modern, chic and elegant woman, partnered with an outdated look for the man's swimwear. Male swimwear (or underwear for that matter) can be sexy without being too revealing.

    I would like to see more good looking menswear as well. I've been thinking of giving up on rendering due to all the content being primarily sexy if not out right ridiculously revealing womens clothing . Right now all I want is a good looking futuristic/sci-fi looking mens jacket for the genesis figure or even a lager selection of modern day mens jackets.

    Every girl's crazy 'bout a sharp dressed man!" ;)

    Ditto on matching male and female uniforms.

    I need some matching jumpsuits for space travelers, preferably with pockets, loops and rings to attach gear, and for bonus points, shoulder duffel to carry gear in while on station rather than starship.... And I need them to fit men and women. Ok if they have morphs to unfasten to navel or whatever, so long as they also can be zipped up to look professional. :)

    Gianni is Gia's counterpart, not Olympia's. :P

    I'd love more like the Rogue Sci-fi suit for V6- but for men. I do auto fit it to M6, but, it still has a corsety front.

    I would like contemporary and Sci-fi clothing and perhaps western. There are plenty of barbarian/medieval/outfits and since I don't do fantasy renders, I tend not to use them.

    I think the problem I see is a a portion of men's clothing is only average in design, too 'nichey'. Shoes as well need some attention.

    Clothing for gen 2 is rapidly looking less realistic than the figures, which is in my opinion one of the reasons they look better with less.

    I would however, prefer to render realistic humans wearing clothing. So better clothing is a must.
