The most versatile, morph-able, posable, realistic human model on the planet !!
Genesis 2™ is the latest version of the Genesis base that DAZ 3D figures are built on. Think of it as a “figure platform” that is the foundation of every other DAZ 3D character shape. This means that all of our characters can be morphed into nearly anything from a small child to a giant troll. Add fat, skinny, muscular, alien, Minotaur, or any mix-and-match variations in between. Think of Genesis 2 as the clay that lets you literally dial-in your own creation. And when you’re done, being built on Genesis 2 means your creation will still be fully rigged, posable, animatable, and realistic. Additionally, the thousands of accessories such as hair, weapons, clothing and more will seamlessly work with your new design. Then will, shrink, stretch, fit, and move as needed.
Genesis 2 truly does enable you to create your own vision.
Morphing
The concept of morphing has advanced even further with the updated Genesis 2 product line. The original Genesis enabled a figure to be morphed little by little towards a child, a monster, a supermodel, a muscle-bound warrior or even an alien. Now, Genesis 2 provides even more points of customization. You as an artist can now easily sculpt any Genesis 2 figure into more detailed, more defined and more gender-specific form.
Male and Female Bases
The specific male and female bases not only allow for more masculine and feminine figures, but also allows for clothing designed more specifically for one or the other. This reveals more authentic attires that drape, hang and hug exactly where they should.
Increased details
With over 2,000 more polygons than even the original Genesis, the detail levels on the most critical body parts like faces and limbs, and non-critical areas like knee and elbow joints, unveil a more realistic end product.
Articulation
No matter how good a figure looks, it has to move correctly. It has to react well with its environment in a convincing way. With Genesis 2, we updated the level of articulation to increase the individual movement of each body part. This includes ears, toes, breasts, body joints and torso. Weight Mapping was also modernized, to show the effects of these movements and their gravity.
Facial expressions
Genesis 2 was also revised to provide more dynamic facial movements and expressions by adding a movable jaw, increased facial polygons, and a new eye reflection mesh.
Compatibility
Due to consistency of key body parts and shapes, users are still able to utilize their original Genesis content and accessories on Genesis 2 characters through the DAZ Studio "auto fit" process.
Software support
You can leverage all DAZ 3D Genesis models using the free DAZ Studio 3D software, which also allows you to utilize Genesis 2’s HD capability. You can also implement your characters in scenes created in POSER using the DAZ DSON import utility.
HD add-ons
Genesis 2 HD add-ons can be purchased for most characters, delivering even more eye-popping results using:
- Morphs sculpted at 64x the resolution of the base figure.
- Sharper creases where you need them.
- Smoother curves for an organic, natural look.
- More definition without significant system overhead.
- Fine details that do not rely on image maps and work across UV sets.
