Thanks but I am not asking for help. I am used to hitting Daz limitations but I've always thought Daz assets are superior to what games use but apparently not anymore.
@Paca
Is OmniSkin official now? I've never heard of the OCN line of products until now and a search under its PA "UV Rapt" in the Daz Store yielded nothing. This is probably the most interesting G9 male character I've seen in a long time, unfortunately he's not my cup of tea.
For human figure the body is always dial-able and that personal taste matters 99% so I am not bothered that much by the G9 body of vendors. Almost all Daz Originals bodies are fine by me. Having said that, Mechaser really stands above all the rest in terms of making unique G9 bodies that just look naturally correct.
However, the lack of quality non-human G9 is why I have pretty much ceased playing with Daz nowadays.
RawArt seems to be the only one still making them. I think his G8 works are OK but something is really off with his G9 stuff. I can't pinpoint why that is and on top of that is his refusal to make head and body morph separate so I don't even bother checking them out anymore.
Feng makes some interesting non-human characters but unfortunately he is not very good at sculpting anatomy. The skeleton structure and muscle attachment are off to me in almost all his G9 figures, human or creatures.
I love the works of JoeQuick and Josh Crockett in G8 but they both seemed to have quit G9 after the initial launch.
Is it the correct etiquette to send thank you reply when receiving filled request notification?
I ask because I personally do not like receiving msg from strangers and the your-request-has-been-filled notification has wording that you should only write msg when something is wrong. So I naturally lean toward I should respect their time. I would like to thank the person filling my request but the system is a bit inhibitive on that inclination.
I've tried playing with transmitted color or SSS in Daz surfaces per usually suggested to reduce red or yellow but none have looked good or even better than before I made the adjustments. LoL I think if it were that easy there wouldn't be such high demand for good looking very light skins.
@G8 or else crowd
After playing with what PA can do with G9 head morphs in celeb likeness I am not going back to G8.@Pharrell Williams
The problem with Death 9 skin is that it has a lot of shadows baked into the textures and especially in the case of the head does not play well with celeb likeness morphs.

I have seen some nice pics of OmniSkin tests but with my skills I am afraid I am stuck with PBRSkin until Daz releases G9.1.VPN speed entirely depends on where you are and where you are trying to connect. My VPN price has gone up significantly this year and it will cost me $150/yr for a 2 year plan on my next renewal. Depending on where I am and the location of the site I am connecting to I have experienced speed between 4Mbs to 800Mbs. For Google stuff I can usually get 300Mbps+ no matter where I am.
Connectivity for me is the only factor and the two hardest tests are the Great Firewall of China and Netflix geo-blocking. I've never found a VPN that can work on both over long-term. A lot of VPN claim they can but most just break when either China or Netflix upgrade their systems, which is few times a year.
Thanks everyone, I am going to put Face Transfer 2 to the dust bin. FT2 with G9 is an vast improvement over the joke that is FT1 but still not worth the time if the texture is such low quality.
PS: Are you sure sure FT2 does not change head morph? It generated some really weird shapes from pictures where the hair is draping over the face.
Where does one find working servers and file links? Every emule link site I had died out years ago and to be able to search for stuff you need to have working servers connected.
I think Daz will use the same playbook with G9 as G8. OmniSkin shader is already in Daz so they will launch G9.1 first with OmniSkin just like G8.1 with PBRSkin. G10 will stay with OmniSkin and come out a couple of years later.
G9 has definitely changed my opinion of HID. Not a fan of HID G8 but I am playing with Daz again mostly because of HID G9. Kadaj777 and V3D seem to have taken advantage of G9 as well where in my very amateurish opinion there is a noticeable improvement of likeness between their G9 and G8 characters.
Sangriart was my go to G8 celeb vendor but has not made the leap in quality with her G9 for some reason.
I have been playing with RKS characters lately and come away feeling that the morphs really are not very good. The likeness mostly disappear as soon as the skins are replaced with something else. IMO this is the case for all RKS characters available here.
On the other hand I found HID G9 have improved so much from his/her G8 characters. HID G8 is pretty much like RKS G9 where the morphs aren't the source of the likeness. However HID G9 sculpts, not all but a few, do carry over the likeness when using other skins.
What does CBDC has to do with Renderhub? US had already killed CBDC because it effectively eliminates any legitimate business usage pretense for crypto and the negative impact on VISA/Mastercard/Paypal profits. Trump family is now rolling in crypto and Trump is threatening any country looking to issue CBDC. EU was working on CBDC until pressure from US and their own banking industry killed it. China is the only major economy rolling out CBDC but still far from ubiquitous. India is likely to follow but they are years away from ready.
