Quote - seriously buc whomever started this thread no offence but leting david 4 actually be used would be a good thing.  daz is starting to move faster forward than it's paid members or not can catch up to even b4 the next gen is out so they need to slow down or end up with  a match to poser 7 that nobody liked.

Trust me, just about everyone who uses Gen 4 the males would love to have D4. Unfortunately, that practically has no chance of happening as DAZ has now entered Gen 5 with Genesis. There are some of us who try to argue that a D4 would still be profitable for people who prefer programs like Poser or DS3 and in doing so, quite litterally profitable for DAZ themselves. Instead, DAZ says that they have something in the making for Genesis that will make Poser users "feel like they're in heaven", to quote directly...

So the only thing we as a 3D community can do at this point is strive for DAZ and MallenLane to give us a D5.

Yep, DAZ has released in the past different versions of their figures for each generation and David was an alternative male version to Michael. Now that DAZ is into the generation 5 figures for genesis, some as above are overly enthusiastic that DAZ create a David morph for genesis like they did with Stephanie.

Personally I have no use or need for a gen 5 David morph, but more options are always good. (I was kinda surprised that they left out David from the gen3 Iconic shapes)

Actually, he's there. He was just released much earlier than the others, shortly after the Gen 4 Iconic Shapes. As a matter of fact, if you look closely at the image I posted, it is the D3 Genesis Shape promotional image shopped black & white.

You can find the actual shape Here. But yeah, if anything should surprize you, it should be the fact that we never got a David 4!

100% genuine, my dear. If you appriciate the idea of an ACTUAL "Real World" looking male shape from DAZ, then you are more than welcome to help influence one.

Quote - well that is how it was designed, unfortunately.  You can try this fun trick... Use two suits. Hide the hands on one and the rest on the other... Works great. There're are a lot of really fun things you can do with two suits. > Quote - I've had some problems with the "All Seams In" preset for the Supersuit.

It looks fine for medium distance shots, but the hands/gloves don't appear right in closer shots.

If I apply the preset the skin shows on the hand and finger finger areas.
I tried hiding the fingers to see what happens, as shown in last picture.
The preset appears to be fully body, so seams can't be adjusted by area.

Of course, it's entirely possible that it's my system thats doing this.  I've had things in the past that work fine for everyone but me.

Sometimes I use up to FOUR suits. Sometimes when I don't have a kind of article of clothing I want like a shirt, pants, and other do able items, I make the illusion of them with multiple layers of surface shading bodysuits. I've been doing that since Gen 3.

I'm not sure, because as I said I tried looking here, the DAZ store, RunTimeDNA and ShareCG. There is absolutely nothing to be found regarding any ballet items for males. Though, I will agree with you on the idea that most of this may be Second Skin. Still, whether these are authentic or composed using other clothing and material alteration I would pay whatever would be nessesery to have a decent dancewear for the project I'm working on.
