Ok, this has been on my mind awhile So ill finally ask it.
WTF is up with all the versions of different base models?
I thought G3 G8 was the foundation and everything would be built on this.
Cant any morph applied to G3 G8 to get almost any character?
Nope. Custom morphs are sculpted, usually in something like Zbrush or a similar program and then custom textures and the like applied. Then it's bundled up as "Victoria" or "Whateverfuckingnametheycomeupwith". But when you have a bunch of these different "morphs" you can mess with the dials to get some rather unique looking characters.
The Genesis/generation of the model is just the framework that the figure can utilise, the bones, base textures and all that malarkey.
That's why I've stuck with V4 for so long now, I'm scared of all those letters and numbers and shit. 😀
You can always use the skin texture on same generation but to get the exact form ie morph u need the right model or models and morphs. same as an expression or pose for say v7 looks good on her but than use it on say girl 7 it will not look right because of the different morphs shape if it was built specific for v7 but u can always ajust that
There used to be a lot more vendor support for the sub type models than there has been since the G3F launch.
Basically, they shot themselves in the foot by making the base G3F so good.
That said I did expect more support for the ethnic variants than was forthcoming.With G8 the low support of sub variants trend seems to continue, which potentially, from the customer's point of view is a plus, because it makes things a little cheaper.

So isnt this another model? Cant you just sell it as a morph?
other than marketing, i just dont understand.
It seems like its being presented as a new model and not a character.
Daz have always been hard marketers.
Prior to G3F there was significant support for the sub variants from vendors.
With G3F & G8F being so good, vendors seem to have become switched on to the fact that most potential customers do not have most / any of the plethora of sub types that Daz are churning out, but everyone that has downloaded the free Daz Studio has G3F & or G8F & that is where the bulk of the potential customers are; not so much with the really expensive sub variants.Daz keep spinning these new sub types with hype & varying quality of bundles to boost sales.
Some hit the mark, perhaps most do not.

finally daz is waking up from cryo sleep after all these years of the "teenage fashion week" and purposing a real mature woman never to late
As far i can read some of gfx threads...it seems that you people forget one thing: Daz is free..so, can someone tell me how to make money from..a free software ?
that being said, its also amazing...coming from people that downloading "freely" items to give lesson or whateva else on...how daz should market their 'very' own products !!??
No really, r can you be serious ? Did i miss smthg or...?Ill sell you a car that only runs on gas that I sell.
Youll need to service the car at my shop.
You'll need buy any upgrades from my store.
3rd party items will work but work better with add ons I sell. There are literally thousands of extras you can buy
from me to have more fun.Here are the keys.
