    Can you guys post some renders of Minto? She looks cute in the promos but she's also very covered up in most of the promos and in most of the promos her hair covers a lot of her face. I'm SUPER tempted to get her but would love to see some renders of her by the community first.

  • OH MY GOSH!!!! and she comes with MULTIPLE!!!!!! outfits, and props, and expressions, glasses AND contact lense appearance... just. I'm FLOORED. I grabbed it, and the DELIGHTFULLY cute pasty shop environment (I swear it looks JUST like the one down the block from where I used to work, if i changed the colors and put the seats all by windows.... ) I also grabbed Rarestone's gorgeous sweater shaders. <3 I am sure Pei and Minto will be enjoying some pastries and milk tea in their very soon!!!!! 

    I do not have Rarestone's previous girl, Minato, but she's wishlisted. Rarestone's amazing. Just wowzers. Screw my tooth. I mean. Uh. I'm supposed to be saving money for a crown for my tooth, but to be absolutely totally honest, Minto beats tooth in the "needs" department. :P Way to ROCK Rarestone. Wish Rarestone could pop in and see some of the <3 here!

    Here you are:

    First with hair and glasses, second without. Lighting is just headlamp.

    Minto IS a cute semi-anime character, but that's okay, as the morphs can mix with other morphs.

    I had not planned to buy anything, but then I saw the extras, which are things I have been looking for, and at the price, are good value.

    However, I'm having trouble finding the instructions on using the dForce "shaders", as all the links I've followed take me nowhere. So if anyone can point me in the right direction, I'd appreciate it.

    @dragonfly_2004 Thank you for the renders! :D She's so cute! She seems to be a mix of stylized and realistic to make an interesting and cute mix. 

  • frankrblowfrankrblow Posts: 2,052

    You're very welcome, Divamakeup.

    I just tried to run dForce on one of the outfits, and the shorts seemed to behave, but the sweater (with over-long sleeves) did not let the cuffs dangle; but that was with just a basic dForce dynamic surface modifier on each item. I'm pretty sure I should have applied the Minto dForce "shaders", but there's nothing to tell me which applies in any given situation. I'll play around, unless someone can guide me to the location of the directions.

    Does she have separate head and body morphs? I don't see them listed in the details.
  • Yes, separate body and head morphs same with Pei. So they can mix and match pretty well. I just wish Minto had a no-brow material (and a fibermesh brow) like Pei did. Otherwise, LOVE it! Haven't gotten to the clothes yet but i'll try soon :)

    Thank you for telling us, this is very valuable info. I convert G8 characters to G3 using SingularBlues' script but it can't do full body morphs so seperate head and body morphs just made another sale. Along with Sickleyields clone for clothes I am now really happy, and busy :)

     

    Here's Pei on Genesis 3 Female with the Kitty Dress converted. Can't wait to get Minto transferrred over

    Minto is a masterful modeling job of semi-realistic Japanses Anime style!

    Do all of the outfits in the promo images come in the package? If so, this is an incredible bargain.

    Yep - new favorite PA!  Pretty much anything RareStone does instantly goes into my shopping cart - I'll decide later if I actually NEED it.  Way over the top value for the money and awesome quality.  ALL PA's should aspire to this level!

    Cute! Don't really have a use for characters these days but might have to get her just for the clothes smiley

  • bluejauntebluejaunte Posts: 1,922

    Yay, just did get her. Anyone else getting 2 products listed in DIM though, one 290mb and one 1gb? Both with the same name? Looks strange.

  • dreamfarmerdreamfarmer Posts: 2,128

    Is she actually stylized somehow? I thought she looked very realistic, albeit younger than most characters we see.

    Her irises are clearly stylized and her chin, although less so.

    Yes, the files are labeled 1of2 and 2of2. My guess is that the upper limit for a DIM file is 1GB so it was split

    The details do mention an iris size on/off button, so the irises can be dialed back. I'm not seeing what's stylized about her chin, though. She looks like some people on Japanese twitter.

    I'd like to know what hair this is. https://www.daz3d.com/media/catalog/product/cache/1/image/9df78eab33525d08d6e5fb8d27136e95/m/i/minto_popup04.jpg It doesn't look like the two toned bob listed.

    Yes, the chin is realistic for many Japanese. She is very cute.

    Oh ok, didn't see any labelling. 1.3 GB worth of data though? :D

    The 1of2 and 2of2 only show on the downloaded files not in DIM unfortunately. Yep, lots and lots of new playthings from RareStone :D

    If you look at the what's included, then I do not think so. Both a school uniform and a swimsuit are seen in the promos, and neither of those are in the list of including clothing. For what is included look at the untextured images, plus the character herself.

    Aha, the irises thing explains some of the different promos. I was starting to wonder if it was the same character in all of them.

     

    Screencap of the 'wardrobe' section of Minto in Smart Content, for those confused. I admit I was hoping for the tank top, which was shown flat but not as clay. Still a great deal though.

    I do wonder if, since we have Minto (young) there's going to be a Minto (adult) tomorrow.

    I'm more impressed with the model than anything. That's the first halfway decent anime-esque model I've seen come out of a Genesis model.

  • ALLIEKATBLUEALLIEKATBLUE Posts: 2,977

    so cute

  • maikdeckermaikdecker Posts: 2,949

    Okay, I have a really bad problem with Minto. Take a look at the personal description texts:

    "Minto is the childhood playmate of Pei. Fate is one unpredictable thing. Even though Minto and Pei then entered different high schools, they got the same Costume Play hobby, which finally put them back together. Who knows that Minto used to be a girl who always trying to hide behind Pei and a little timid when she was young?" is what is written for Minto.

    And for Pei it reads "Pei is an artificial intelligence girl from the future. She has the looks and emotions of an Asian girl around 20 years old. During the mission, Pei always wears a combat suit that she was given when she awoke. By dodging the bullets of her enemy, Pei struggled to find the value and significance of being a life created by the mankind."

    So... this girl - Minto - went to school with an artificial intelligence, that - as these AIs probably don't age... - looked like a ~20ish asian girl and always wore a combat suit, but now shares her hobby of costume play? That sounds way creepy to me... devil

     

    Apart from that she (Minto) would be an instant buy if I would need a girl of her age for my stuff. She looks fantastic and the stuff that comes with her makes this a real bargain.

    I think the "costume play" for Pei is probably to justify her wearing the combat suit. But I also think the AI was based on the real person named Pei, who was Minto's friend.

    The pinkish tank top is a 3DU item. It's listed in the items in promos list. But most of the clothes (not shoes, only one pair of shoes) seen are in the package.
