I like him. There's enough definition to the body. Love the asymmetrical six pack
As usual those creases under the pectorals and that funny navel are distracting

Nathan.. Drake? So next Thursday, we're to expect Lara?
I don't get that many male characters because I rarely use them but Daz G9 male characters have been awful in particular, at least for my liking, It's something in their faces, I think the eyes. I liked Lawrence enough even though I still sometimes see something in the eyes I don't like, but at least it's very minor.
Well, I think Nathan 9 is the first one I fully like. Heck, going to even try making something for the render challenge.
PD. Completely support the idea of Lara being next xD
I like his face. Very nice. Not much for the bundle, but I'll likely pick up the character.
This mixture especially is EXCEPTIONAL.
The guy needs his beard! He looks kinda plain without it.
With beard or scruff he's nice
I do have one critique: why are all G9 males feet so small?
Very nice, giving me a bit of a Tom Hardy vibe there.
DAZ isn't even trying with these names any more. Josie in a girl band, Nathan as an adventurer...reminds me of a vendor at Rendo who made game character lookalikes with ridiculous names too like Chammy and Song Li. ;)
Looks like a versatile character; he can even look like Selenskyj. Certainly good for the Genesis gene pool.
Absolutely.
I like the character, only thing stopping me buying is the need to be careful with funds. Usually the added deals will tip me, but even they are less of a bonus now.
Maybe the unisex mesh means they start that way and nobody worries about fixing it? Dunno.
Not bad, but nothing I don't already have.
Plus, I have dForce hair for Genesis 8 which is superior in my opinion.
I think I would have liked more masculine shading and variation on the body skin, as the heavy beard shadow on the face doesn't make it really make the material useable on most ladies. It looks a bit werid that you get all that face detail and weathering on then it drops away at the neck to be baby smooth.
Default HD (I may have darkened the eyebrows he loads with)
Wearing Thimor's materials: (I like this version the best out of the few I tried, including Default Nathan)
Silly Nathan vs Nahuel (I regret ah, turning on the chests)
Proportion wise, Nathan's body is very long when I load him. I would probably lengthan the legs.
Need a skinny dude and some mid tones skins next, please Daz.
I really like that mix too.
Nathan "as is" is quite nice too.
Well I saw Harrison Ford right away on the main promo and of course the theme. So I love him. With 5 tokens and DAZ+ coupon and the two add-ons, bundle down to $38.46, total cart $48.46.
That mixture is incredible and shows just how versatile he is.
@Sid, those images are helpful. I wondered about how his skin would look on the ladies. I had already thought he might shift to female okay, but not sure about the skin. So the next step is using another's skin?

That's the killer for me. I see how it impacts the clothes from previous generations because of autofit, and you need to depend on past generations of clothing when it comes to male figures. But to me, I don't see anything really new or improved here. I think this is more for newer customers.
What hair is that being used in the promo pic?
It isn't the 'Gabriel Flipped' hair that comes with the bundle.
It looks like https://www.daz3d.com/dforce-thadeus-hair-for-genesis-3--8-males but mirrored. Could be something that isn't out yet, but it looks like an AprilYSH hair for sure.
Tried that supercombo with Michael and Lawrence. I don't own Thimor, so added some Cadwell to the mix.
I rendered small, though, and I'm not sure if this hair is the best choice.
EDIT: Added this one later
I'm on the fence. He looks okay but a bit generic.
The expression package is very Harrison Ford. Not that he's the only actor who makes those faces.
wow, those look great!
I really like the expression package. I mean to try them with Vicky 9. You never know how they'll work out.
70% Nathan 9 +HD Normals
50% Lawrence
Michael 9 skin and eyes.

I had to look Chris Evans up. In a few pictures, I might agree.
But I remember Harrison Ford from the very first Star Wars movie I saw as I waited for my son to decide to get out of me a few months after the movie was released. The theatre was around Ogden UT and the star destroyer flew over us and the room shook. I had been released from duty to wait him out and it was the middle of a business day, only about 25 people there. A week after his birth, my sister and I took my son to 'see' the movie in San Francisco in a packed old fashioned theatre. He and I have been rabid fans of his since.
But I remember an early picture of Harrison Ford from when he was a carpenter, trying to break into the movie business. That is what Nathan 9 looks like, a young 20/30 something Harrison Ford at the beginning of his career.
Maybe it is a generational thing? I am a contemporary of his, Chris Evans may be a contemporary of yours?

Well, just the fact that DAZ released him on May the 4th is a pretty strong suggestion that they knew what they were doing.
i think it's good, I few of the renders remind me of Daniel Craig, that James Bond guy.
I think you are right, judging from the dForce Adventure Style Outfit for Genesis 9 in the bundle. I totally forgot Harrison Ford IS Dr. Jones!
I can see that in his storefront promo.
Excellent!
