So I've been starting to work in Daz with G8 and I see that the G9 library is expanding on the shop.
Is moving to G9 the right choice? I don't have much materials on G8 so I won't lose much if I move to work on G9.
Question is: is Genesis 9 worth it now? I remember a year ago people said it's not worth it yet.

- Needs a better video card (more vram mainly due to higher resource shaders) than G8 by quite a lot.
- you'll have to rebuild your library of character skins, hair, and clothing (some stuff can be converted but it is not perfect)
- animations from previous gens don't work and cannot be converted.
+ better skeleton/mesh/face rig, and skins, generally can give more "realistic" renders (although a skilled daz user with G8 or even G3 will do better than a noob with G9)
+ no longer male/female separation, so more options for some clothing items
