Renderotica

7 Months later and there was no reply from Meipe. Weird. So I have also been searching for a solution to this problem. The only solution I have currently, from testing and pulling my own hair out is that the Genesis 9 model must be in BASE resolution and not High Resolution. You can add as much sub-division as you like to the base resolution and the geograph will not sink in (with the headlights). However, even at Sub-Division 1 with High resolution on your Genesis 9 model and the Headlights drop into the breast enough to be noticeable. If you turn the Sub-D up more, they sink in more.

As of right now, there is no option to use the Headlights with better than Base resolution from what I can see. And the problem with that is, because of the stupid design choice by Daz to make one model for both Male and Female, the female chest looks square and blocky without high resolution. So you are basically left with two options, have the Headlights graph sink in and have nice, round breasts, or have the headlights be flush with blocky edges on the breasts.

Breastacular is a whole other issue. While it fits seamlessly for me, it takes more of my breast shaping control away. It does not auto follow the morphs I had applied. It takes away any natural shape I may have applied and to be honest, while I love Meipe's products, the morphs are typically exaggerated and weird where breasts and nipples are concerned.

I really hate G9 but keep buying the models because their face geometry and skin textures are very nice. The chest and navel areas losing the geometry that previous generations had is the only major draw back and to this point, I have yet to find a product that solves these issues in any meaningful way and I have purchased every single one I can find from every single vendor I know of.

Thing is, I went back to G8F, had the same problems with Breastacular and Headlights on her, but also other creator's breast grafts, and in the end gave up and just used the G8F breast and morphs which just about met my needs. I did try turning off the HD morphs (needed for the character) to figure which were affecting it, and with no HD morphs I STILL got mismatches between the bottom edge of Breastacular and the normal G8F mesh with it  just not aligning with the Freja8 morph in the bottom of the sternum area, which wasn't the only morph in use but was the base I then morphed from qnd the main issue. So I gave up on grafts (I posted a render of the issue after Meipe asked to explain what issue in another thread - the suggestions thread, I think - but nothing came of that). I had to find a Morph set and SculpTool solution to fingers pressing into the breast. I keep thinking I might like to move to a G9 version of the character but am put off if none of the grafts will work, but the base DAZ chest-and-morphs are no good, unlike G8F. Need to look for some maybe HD G9 breast morphs, I suppose.

There's probably more of an issue for me because she's a reasonably muscular (not She-Hulk or even heavyweight real world bodybuilder) defined, low bodyfat character who wouldn't have implants, so for realism she has fairly small, natural breasts (at that bodyfat level she's possible but unusual to have any significant breasts at all), and the focus for most products are huge breasts, not small natural ones.
