Suggestion for DAZ - Split Genesis 9 into Genesis 9.1F and 9.1M and fix all of the joint bend problems.  Then the product might be successful.

I'd aggree on the split, but the joint bending problems cannot be fixed on G9.
The mesh just doesn't support it, because of the lack of edge loops. G9 is mostly modeled of plain quads, which is pretty much a beginner's mistake.
I have no idea, why DAZ is making such a mistake.
My guess is, they just wanted to save time and ran an automatic re-mesher over their draft shape of Genesis 9.
That is bad news.  I was hoping that DAZ could make the necessary corrections to fix G9's joints, thus creating a worthwhile product.  In light of Nevertrumper's comments, I am considering changing my name to NeverG9er!!
;-) To be fair, I have to admit, that I am really picky with those things. Some don't even see a problem with G9 at all.
