Stylized characters? (morphs, models, etc?)
Hello!
I'm still new to DAZ3D so I'm not sure where to start looking for certain solutions. Basically my question is: where do I start if I want stylized characters?
I know there are models like Sakura8 with characters with textures and stylized proportions. But I'd like to know if you can expand the options for Genesis 8. For example, are there head and body morphs that are recommended for anyone who wants to get stylized characters? I searched the store but the morphs I saw did not seem to me to be for this purpose. As for the models, are there other similar to Sakura8, which is compatible with Genesis8?
Thanks!

Sakura 8 is your best option if you are interested in a traditional Anime look for your 3D characters
Aiko 8 is the latest incarnation of the DAZ character previously designed for Anime enthusiasts, although the later versions have tended more towards realism. Nevertheless, the figure remains quite stylized, if not Anime perse.
Dolly for Genesis 8 Female is a toonish variation.
Another toonish option are the Paige and Pace characters for Genesis 8 Female
There is also Kayma for Genesis 8 Female and Hanna for Genesis 8 Female.
The Toon Generation line by 3D Universe is also available, but its only for Genesis 3.
As for morph packages that are strictly collections of stylized morphs, I am not aware of any specifically, although usually morphs can be mixed and matched.
Perhaps if you could be a little more specific about what style of character you are looking for, that might elicit more responses.
If, however, you are looking for some package that would allow you to create virtually anything that you might imagine, that definitely does not exist, which is why vendors use modelling programs to create their distinctive characters.

Facegen Artist Pro works with G8 if you can afford it and gives near photorealistic results.
