I've been messing with my Basic G2F and figureing out poses and it just occured to me why they look like mannequins. Are eyebrows not a standard feature? Do you need to buy a character? Am I really dumb and missing them in the content list?

    My basic G2F has eyebrows, so not sure what you are seeing?

    For most characters, the eyebrows are painted on the skin...and use displacement maps to add some relief.

    There are a set of free ones by Laticis

    Jimmy, I envy you. I tried doing a render of a closeup so you could see how Marilyn Manson my figure looks but I was 45mins into it and it was at 30% so i gave up. Does anyone know why his G2F behaves and mine deosn't, please let me know ;)

    When you load G2 She loads with brows but perhaps you updated materials to use the "No Brows" Material option (quick render attached) ?

    Look under  People - Genesis2 Female - Material for all the various options

    What render engine are you uinsg, Iray?   I let my render run for about 35 seconds in Iray, and then cancelled it, and posted the above image.   I don't use my graphics card (GPU) at all, and my render is done with CPU only (i7 Intel), so I donlt know why yours would take so long, but you can cancel it nowadays and keep the image you have up to that point, no need to wiat for 100% if it shows what you want.

    If you don't have eyebrows on the Base G2F when loaded fresh from the Content Library, then you must have overwritten the default figure.   If you reinstall Genesis 2 Female Starter Essentials, it may get it back to the normal skin again.   You should never overwrite the Base figures, always save as a Scene or Scene subset if you have made changes, and save it in the 'Scenes' folder.

    Good stuff! Thanks guys! And Jimmy...you just gave me valuable insight and hope! My pictures typically take 1+hrs to render (but never more than 2) because I am working with the bare minimum for Daz. i3 Processor and 4GB of RAM. I was thinking I should go big and upgrade to an i7 and if that's what you're working with, I totally am gonna! My goal is to generate full story lines with Daz Illustrations and having to spend 52hrs just in render is going to suck balls. And probably melt my laptop.
