    How about a documentation or video on proper database maintenace and backup (what exact files need to be backed up and how to stop the database so it can be copied).

    ...a true albino complexion and hair. I know there are many "pale" skin textures that come with various characters but they tend to be fantasy oriented with various makeup and tone details burned in.  I've been working wih SBP3 but they always tend to come out greyish using the Iray sun.

    Of course it is probably moot anyway as likely it would only be for G8 or 8.1.

    Thanks kindly for the links. I did look at them but it seems it more about catalgouing and metadata then database structure and what to backup.

    Perhaps if you have purchased these products you could enlighten me.

    Cheers & many thanks...

    Tyrone does too (https://www.daz3d.com/tyrone-for-darius-8), but I'm not sure they would be considered "true" as both have some color to them. 

     

    I want to see a well-made, modern arcade with Iray materials. Like Dave and Busters only you can call it Mike and Barry's or something. 

    There are machines, but the arcades themselves are for 3delight and leave a lot to be desired.

    I'd love a hair product that was a variety of bangs/fringe styles. No other hair, just that bit, to add on to other hairstyles.

    Length and thickness morphs would be great, too.

    Yes, I’d like a whole pack of individual hair pieces that could be added on to other hair products, Then we could just use a hairshader pack to make everything fit together (or not.)

    Also I’d love era specific hairstyles. Especially early 60’s style like Bewitched or Laura on the old Dick Van Dyke show and other Star Trekish fun 60’s styles, and 50’s and 40’s style hair. Also 70’s Farrah Fawcett hair, 80’s hair from like every John Hughes movie & 80’s Heather Locklear hair, 90’s Rachel hair...And men’s hair from these eras too! Beatles hair, rocker hair, the style Alan Alda had on MASH, hippie hair, 70’s (Ashton Kutcher), fringed hair, Elvis hair, 50’s ... The men’s hairs we have are all so similar and modern time. We need variety and hair from other eras!

    I too would like hairpieces, now they have Dforce ones you can attach anywhere by the pinned bit

    plaits, ponytails etc to place by hats and hoods or if kinky as a tail devil

    One thing I'm constantly looking for are energy and spell effects. There are some, but I'd love to see more.

    If you do postwork, check out the brushes here, Ron’s brushes (that won’t show up if you search “brushes” angry) Orestes, and a few more or there are free and paid ones on Deviant Art, the “other” store, and many all over the internet. I find you can be more precise in postwork but there are several here for in DS like Jepes or you can play with putting emissive lights on any interesting object and resize like waves, splashes, etc...

    ...Tyorne's looks more natural. Unfortunately I primarily work with G3 which uses a different Mat zones structure (and it's even more difficult to transfer between male and female UVs even with conversion scripts).  

    Did quite a bit of study on albinism to try and recreate the skin tone with SBP   In a "photo studio" setting it looks fine but in natural sunlight it comes out sort of grey instead of having a slight pinkish tint).  

    Some of the images I've used as examples  followed by one of the characters I've designed. :

    A G3 or G8 version of RuntimeDNA's "Cookie" & "Chip" figures that could use the original clothes, as well. They were the best toon figures I've seen, and very versatile.

    Wait a minute, there's G3 and G8 versions of Chip and Cookie, how come I never heard of this and where are they.

    It may be a bit too gross, and not family friendly enough for the Daz Store. But seeing that we have Caryn and Tobyn 8. I'd quite like birth poses, with L.I.E. womb "goop"/afterbirth.

     Ewwwww! But ok, I can see that. For that though, you should probably have a model made to look like a real newborn. Even Caryn and Tobyn look kinda old for that.

    Royal Navy uniforms for G8M. Ones for post-captains/commanders (with epaulettes you can hide and unhide as needed for the different grades) and lieutenants, following the 1795 uniform regulations. Coats that rely primarily on tailoring for a good fit instead of dForce and prayer (Protozoon's White Tie Outfit is a great example), and have accurate cuffs instead of featureless tubes. I'd eagerly buy both full dress and undress versions. Options for both fall-front knee-breeches and long trousers, as well as boots and buckle shoes, plus stockings (all things that are good kitbashing items for other outfits as well). Appropriate naval bicornes, both fore and aft and athwart-ships, with shaping morphs to adjust the profile and rise.

    Marine uniforms for the same time period.

    Slops and shore-going rig for the hands (we do have some stuff that could suit for the former).

    New ships that come with Iray shaders. Maybe a corvette or a frigate, something smaller than a ship of the line like HMS Victory.

    Interior environments like a historically accurate great cabin, wardroom, gun deck, etc.

    Solid-colored wool and felt shaders.

    Stuff that properly belongs under the "historical" genre filter.

    ...mentioned it elsewhere a while back

    1930s newsboy outfit with bracers that are separate and not part of the shirt texture so they fit properly instead of tightly follow the upper body countours (and for G8, not just 8.1).

    Yes, I have all three of those, the first two are water plants, but not lilies, and the other ones are very pretty, not quite what I`m after though. I just wish the ones I had for VUE could be exported, I`d have loads of them then wink

    I would like to see a true FBX conversion mechanism that takes the weighted FBX and converts the weighting, hierarchy and joint structure so that it can be saved as a DUF file that will properly work. Right now the best option we have is FBX to Poser then to DAZ --maybe.... sometimes....
