High-density meshes may require significant VRAM (8GB+ recommended). Paid or Free
implementation is a massive step up. The detail is described as "incredible" and far less plastic-looking than previous versions. Because Genesis 9 uses a unified mesh for male and female characters, the textures and morphs created in FaceGen blend more seamlessly across different character types. How the Workflow Works
: Users report that FaceGen results on Genesis 9 appear significantly more detailed and less "plastic" than previous generations, likely due to G9's improved mesh density. Implementation Workflow
: Use a high-quality, passport-style photo (minimum 128x128 pixels) with neutral lighting and expression.
Absolutely. Despite the friction, moving from Genesis 8 to Genesis 9 with FaceGen is a net gain. The enhanced mesh density of Genesis 9 means that the subtle asymmetries generated by FaceGen (a slightly higher eyebrow on one side, a crooked nose) render beautifully without looking like low-poly glitches.
tab in Daz to lower the specularity and glossiness for a more natural look.
: Users can utilize "Create → Photo" for automatic point placement on front-facing photos, with manual adjustment options for finer control. Performance Comparison: G9 vs. G8/8.1 Reliable, but can look "boxy" or plastic in close-ups.
