So speaking of kitties, have you guys seen the cat renders Leilana posted to the gallery recenty, here and here? Really cute,
P3D Leora HD Ayala Outfit (Gen3F) Belinda Hair (Gen2/3/V4)
Another P3D gal.
If you haven't given Ayala Outfit a look, you'll really like the materials. Belinda Hair has nice morphs to plump/ volumize the hair, and a lot of other morphs.
LOL so true!
so I have to ask... is Patricia’s head a little big? It seems nearly the size of her rib cage.
I went looking for a hidden morph, which was the case with a character some months back, (don't recall who, or what morph,) but that wasn't the case here. However I did find a long nail morph from P3D for Tilly. I changed the limits on that morph to allow dialing in the negative, and that shortened the nails without distortion. The very ends of the nails are not squared, but unless you're showcasing the hands, it shouldn't be particularly noticable. I just filtered the shaping tab by P3D to find the Tilly nail morph. If you have other PSD characters, you may have other morphs from them to try. Good luck.
I have a couple of comments on today's new releases:
I also think CB Thyme for G3F/G8F is really pretty. Nice eyebrows. And with the extra 10% off for members, she's just $8.36 in my cart. And as she's a DO, I'll apply my Feb coupon. I can handle that...
I think the promo page header art is just awesome today. The orc looks amazing.
BTW, look at the amazingly cute shoes (in the thumbs on the product page, second row, third thumbnail) of Fairy Outfit for Karyssa. One thing I would suggest to vendors regarding their MAIN promo art though- don't hide the outfit that you are trying to sell. The bent up knees cover most of the outfit! That fourth thumbnail on the first row would have been a much better choice, it really shows the outfit.
I picked up the Greylien for $3.68, that's 83% off, using the DO coupon from PC+. I think I'm going to pick up those adorable frogs too from a couple days ago (in Cutest Smile sale.) Anyone get those and play with them yet? Oh, that sounds so funny! Pet frogs. I've had toads that lived out by the streetlight, who hid during the day in one of the water sprinkler heads. It had a weathered hole just slightly to the side. The toads were smart and got all the water they wanted, and the street light attracted bugs at night. I named the biggest, fattest one Leopold. He was there for years. We always looked when backing out of the driveway, not to run big, fat Leopold over with the car!
Greylien is a repeat. I have it for G3, and it was sold elsewhere. Looks good though as G8.
P3D Kim For Genesis 8 Female Daisy Outfit for Genesis 8 Female(s) Daisy Outfit Textures Swizzle Bob Hair For Genesis 8 Female(s)
P3D Yvette for Genesis 8 Female Active Lingerie for Genesis 8 Female(s) Active Lingerie Performance Textures
Z Pop Princess Poses (Gen8F / Stephanie 8)
I showed Kim a couple days ago in the Bardot Outfit, but I like this lighting better. Kim is wearing the Daisy Outfit and Swizzle Bob Hair.
The Daisy Outfit has a nice variety of materials when you pickup the texture set, and looks very classy. The texture set was worth getting as it has stripes, flowers, a patterned shirt, and bees. The pocket on the jean shorts has a pattern too. If you're tired of just T shirts or regular shirts, the top on this is just plain fun! And I really like the Swizzle Bob Hair. It's got a nice gloss to it. Shown loaded at default, no tweaks.
One thing with Kim- I don't think her pupils are dilated enough, she has a deer in the headlights look out of the box. Go in to Parameters>Actor and for the eyes, add a bit of dilation and see if you like it better. And @zeddicuss has some fun options in the Pop Princess pose set. A nice variety!
For Yvette, note her heavier thighs. This is not a "model" figure, it's very typical. FYI, I'm rendering all of these with the same lights so it's easy to compare skin tones. You can see that Yvette is much lighter than Kim.
Regarding Active Lingerie- I'm pretty sure women can hit the beach in this outfit. Looks like a swimsuit to me. And it's got a nicer, fuller bottom in back so it's more family friendly. Anyone use it for a swimsuit yet? I don't think if you put her in a scene in this, people would gasp and say, "Oh what is this world coming to?! She's in her underwear!!!"
Say yes to wider hips and bigger thighs. Very realistic.
Many fun morphs for Mystical Hair, including 4 Windy with sliders. Mix 'em up for some fun combinations!
Nice coverage in back.
Amazon Tree Frogs and Tadpole
P3D kim looks great. Plus love the tree frog. Kim has a very realistic look.
@Wonderland, did you see my answer to your question about Bella Bleu's fingernails?
Keep this up, @Novica, and I'll have to wishlist the entire catalog for P3D! She really does do beautiful female models.
I didn't know that. It's still a great looking model. I just don't do SciFi stuff enough to buy something like that unless it's deeply discounted; glitch-deep.
I'm glad it got a laugh :)
We're a pet-less household here since it was discovered that my little guinea pig had a tumour blocking his intestine and we had to let him go this morning. At six years old he would have been unlikely to survive an operation to remove it, and putting one of my best mates in the whole world ever through that would only have prolonged his misery. I promised him a long time ago that I would never let him spend a single unnecessary day in pain from something I knew he couldn't come back from. It's the hardest part of having pets, but I had to do the same thing for his brother last year and at least know they're together again now. I gave all his dried food, hay and toys etc to my sister aftewards for her piggy, and the realisation that it filled my son's car boot and back seat to the point where he could barely see through the window was a huge comfort - six years spent being spoiled rotten in the piggy equivalent of the Ritz hotel can only be a good thing :)
I am very sorry for your loss. Although it is hard, I'm sure you made the best decision for your pet.
@astracadia Your piggy was obviously pampered and had the best life possible. I can see his brother romping over to greet him, happy as a lark. Responsible and loving humans do what's best for the animal, and you certainly did that. So now it's time to pamper yourself. HUGS!
Hmmm, I haven't seen any renders here of Sahel yet. She is gorgeous. I had to buy her. She looks too young for the skimpy clothes though.
Any opinions on the dForce Master - Cloth Simulation Presets ? I haven't bought it yet. Pricey. I have been too lazy to learn to use dForce and was wondering if this is real easy to use.
I've used it several times and really like it. I do know how to use dforce but this a. cuts my time way down and b. so far, has lessened the amount of explosions and things not working well by quite a bit. and c. my pc doesn't crash nearly as much from Dforce as it does when I don't use it.
And I love the hair one as well. For all the same reason.
@luci45 Bless you for asking that question. I haven't piddled with learning dForce either. Lazy and lack of time, both. And sad to say, I already own that product and still haven't had time to try it.
One reason I didn't buy Sahel is the intensity of the purple shadoes under the eyes. She doesn't look healthy to me. While I like the approach of not having flawless skin and having a few shadows, she has more shadows than I do as a 61 year old. And the color of them looks more like bruising to me. So have to be honest and say I find her very charismatic, love the morphs and most of the skin materials, but not under the eyes. I think based on all the comments I've read, I'm the sole person who thinks that though!
But as usual Luci45, your render looks stunning!
Nothing like sitting at your computer listening half-heartedly to television, then hearing there's a fire that has gone from 10 acres, to 45 acres, then 100 acres.. and then they name the general area of the barn. I look up and see FIFTY homes with flames bearing down on them, and a huge tractor by the Fire Service building a firebreak ditch. I had to go look up that subdivision and they are about four miles down from Stetson. We were supposed to get rain tonight, and the stupid clouds are parting like Moses and the Red Sea. The fire is only 45% contained and the stupid Fire Service went home at dark. Really. Dark in the winter is 5:30ish.
So will see tomorrow what's going on, but there's no wild winds or anything to really stoke the flames or send them racing along. They did have a helicopter dumping water, that's one nice thing about being by the Gulf of Mexico, there's a really decent water supply LOL!
Sahel, Side part hair and the Fairy Outfit ear-thing (the outfit is cute, but if/when I get confident enough in Blender, I may end up ripping off the heels and reshape the shoes)
I must say that I hadn't noticed the under-eye shadow that much. Now of course I can't stop seeing it.
What news is there? Is the barn and Stetson safe? Folks' homes?
Nothing new, we had drenching rains last night, and the local news online, and several local stations online haven't posted anything new, so that means it hasn't spread. They'd be all over it. Thanks for asking! (I'd also be hearing from the barn owner.)
So glad it rained! Phew!
Yes, same here. I guess I'll send in a ticket to tech support. I started a thread in the forum hoping the PA would see it but no one responded...
@Wonderland, I posted this above, regarding Bella Bleu's nails, but I'm not sure you saw it. Not a perfect solution, but something to help you get by until this gets updated. (I sure hope it gets updated!)
Good. Seems like an oversight on the part of the vendor. But I'm not surprised QA didn't catch it. And if it was intentional, the vendor needs to know we want that morph!
Thanks @L'Adair just saw it now. Unfortunately I don't have any P3D characters for G8, just G3... I'm going to put in a ticket.
G8F products in my runtime run a bit thin, too. Most of my G8F stuff is also G3F. I picked up Tilly the same time I got the Bella Blue bundle. I think her face is really lovely, and it was too good a glitch, er, price to pass up.
I like isoucetextures entries especialy Hyuna G8. Nice skin and versitile under many different lights.
This is Hyuna valentine.
