Why do people still use G9?
Moving from V3-V4.1 generation up to G8.1 was worth adapting to new product because the improvement was visible. But moving to G9 is not about adapting to a new model, is about accepting the blatant enshittification of the model line. That's regardless of the free access to free items... The model itself is a pile of failures struggling to stay upright. The clothing are literally worthless, zero fashion skills and a lot of showing off about skills with some 3D modelling application. The hair items are more useful for broom models, with their fake vintage doll-like appearance.
So, the better question could be why do people get comfortable with enshittification?Doesn't matter what texture settings you tweak at the new "dforce strand based" hair models, the hair still looks like the creepy plastic hair used on dolls 30 years ago.
1. Limbs bend like sausages.
2. Posing custom models mostly result in monsters.
3. Ugly limbs.
4. Ridiculous poses.
5. The hair models made for G9 look like brooms, at best.
6. The custom morphs give mostly unexpected results instead of the expected ones, if used on any other model than the basic gender neutral one.
7. Expressions are ugly and creepy AF on any model.
8. Did I mention the ugly feet?
9. The HD "plus" feature becomes quickly a huuuge minus if activated.
10. Teeth look like a cheap/bad dental prosthesis.Why do all G9 models have such bad shaders for teeth and eyes and so ugly feet? And why all the G9 hair models look like brooms?
As it stands, it seems that the only positive aspect of G9 is the initial skin texture that bLeW tHe uSerS' MiNds WiTh iTs quAliTy...
So... Why would anyone convert a crappy G9 model to G8?I hate ads. Creating things is not an opportunity for running ads on creator's back, nor an invitation.
That being said, I'll skip the 4.22 update, no matter how "fast" it might be.
But since this 'ad-mania + onlyfans business model' has infected many areas, it looks like I will not upgrade DAZ from now on.
I am awaiting patiently the ads for watering the crops with Brawndo.*snarky post alert!
Um, no, there is no reason to penalize for "falsely reporting", as long as the only way to announce a non-functional link is selecting "broken links". It doesn't matter why the link doesn't work. This "oh, just wait and click again later" is not ok.
How this site treats the reports and the "reported" post is NOT the visitor's business. Most people just want to let someone know that there's something wrong with the link, whatever it could be, under "broken links" option in the (very short) list of options.Oh, I have something positive to say about G9. It's good that G9 creators didn't overworked those DUCK LIPS. They kept the silicone injections just under the totally ridiculous threshold.
Just select "hair" in the menu, see what you get... A chaotic mix of models, generations, applications - no order, no sense.
Searching is already a messy experience and the menu choiches are a nightmare.
Searching by tag is not implemented. The top menu doesn't have submenus.Oh, wait... Did someone mentioned a SUBMENU?
...and everything that's not free is just as bad.
This randomness, this total ignorance for coherent criteria affects G9 and G9 products, too.
For example, look at the wrinkles made for "FN Quinn HD For Genesis 9" character. Even V4/M4 generation had better elder characters. The G9 wrinkles are placed almost in random positions.
G9 keeps being totally ridiculous, it doesn't seem to even tend to improve. Either DAZ people don't get honest feedback, or they ignore it.@Zemlon
Too bad that almost everything produced for G9 is utterly ridiculous (when is not useless).
IMO, uploads for G9 are a total waste of storage space, time and effort.
It's like G9 is worked by that "AdamThwaites" dude: every product is a total failure.Anyway, if someone else considers giving G9 a run, I strongly suggest to create a separate "My Daz Library" for that purpose.
It will be easier (and more satisfying!) to delete it in one keystroke.
Oh, yes.
Sausage-like bends, horrific morphs, ugly/useless feet, ridiculous expressions&poses, cartoonish, clumzy, ridiculous geografting system that gets useful at high and very high mesh resolution, mostly cons and a huge bowl of wishful expectations, no more than the basic about human anatomy (debatable), completely ignores the different bone structure and joint movement (yeah, that's how little knowledge of basic anatomy G9 creators have), the mouth and eyes tend to NOT follow the morphs, "duplicate formula" new feature introduced with generosity, stereotypical scruffy hairstyles and limbs twisted randomly in corny positions called "poses" ('cause THAT's what DAZ "creators" think that 'gender fluid' means, apparently) - and sooooo oooooon.
...
I have deleted every trace of that horror not a second too soon.User @Klimperkalle also posts free products for points.
