    This is Alexandra 8 right of the box. The only flaw I've noticed (so far) is that the border of the lipstick on some makeups are to sharp (like in this image). I expect an update will correct that. When that is fixed, 10/10.

     

    Assuming that it's not intentional, LOL

    Nah, doubt it is intentional. Lipstick edges doesn't look like this.

    I really like the more mature look of her. But I can't really tell from the promos - is her body skin suiting the mature age look, or is it blemish free and more suited to a 20 year old? I can't see close ups of the hands specifically. 

    My blemishes and freckles have decreased as I've grown older. I have a few more wrinkles but blemishes don't typically increase.

  • Age doesn’t stop at the face though. Even if you keep yourself trim. And yes there are people with wonderful genetics who look youthful but that’s easily dial able and well represented in characters in the store already. This is a character that cries out for hd morphs to emphasize small areas of age.

    I get it that you can age but still be fit. But I agree with serene night. What's the point of making a "mature" character the selling point if she gonna have a body like all the other youngins in the shop. I'm not knocking a lady of a certain age having a great body. Its a little like introducing a black base character but all the add ons are light skinned with green eyes. I'm getting her though because her look is something i totally want to add to my gene pool. I'm just saying she needs a little bit of sag to go with her swag know what um sayin

    Yeah, her body seems young but if you need her to look a little older >> just add or subtract weight using morphs package. If that is not enough just fire up your favorite modeling program and add morphs yourself. What would have really sold this is a wrinkle texture and a 2nd skin liver spots. We need this for both G8 male and females.

  • I agree about her needing a bit more sagging options.  She should be the aging base...not needing another add on to make her look older.  Of course I could tweak or remorph any character.  But the point of buying a mature looking model is to not have to do that.  I'm just saying that an additional aged body morph and preset would be a nice inclusion.  Otherwise, I like her.  Good on Daz for bringing something new.

    I see $37.03 in Greybro's cart while my price goes down to $46.29 (I have 3 featured add-ons in my cart as well) . I guess it's because I haven't purchased many V8 bundles?

    Same here. I'm not sure what the difference is but his discounts are higher than mine and my total cart price for his cart is $65.82. And I have purchased several Genisi 8 pro bundle and nearly all of the Genesis 3 pro bundles.

    I like the character but I have too many other expenses and with the price I get I've had to wishlist her for now.

    Platinum club coupons maybe? Mine was $66.79. I had already used my PC coupons for the month before this so couldn't try applying them.

    No. Platinum Club coupons are not shown in this cart

    With all the free items in the cart, the PC Coupon for DOs would only give about a $2 discount....something else is in play.  And the coupon would have shown up in the screenshot.

    I notice Grebro is a Published Artist. Maybe that is it

    I think so. I have the same price as Greybro and we're both PAs. We get a slightly higher discount on Daz Originals.

    For me there is a lot to like in an older more average looking face.

    Oh, I posted that right after you posted...

  • nonesuch00nonesuch00 Posts: 18,302

    PAs get a slightly discount? Hmmm, might be worth making a product to get that discount. laugh

  • I just noticed Briallen has stretch marks on her belly! Very cool. smiley

    I just noticed something about Alexandra 8: she's the first DAZ figure I've seen with visible ribs.

    Pretty much any other character, you can see the outline of the ribcage, but you can't see individual ribs, even with Thin turned up to 100%. It's an oddity of the models, considering that you don't even need to be that thin for your ribs to be visible under the skin.

    The promos of Alexandra, on the other hand, suggest that she actually has discernible ribs. Interesting.

    I bought Kylie for her HD wrinkles---once I figured out that they were included and not from Khloe as this promo image mistakenly told me.

    I wondered about that. I removed her from my cart, because I thought it relied on another product I don't own. It looks like incorrect promo labels cost this artist a sale. I chose a different new release instead.

    It was probably just a naming issue in which that product was probably first named "Khloe" but likely had to be renamed because of a different character by that name was released recently: https://www.daz3d.com/fwsa-khloe-hd-for-karyssa-8

    So looks like they just forgot to update all the promo text with the new name.

    By 'blemish free' I meant a perfectly smooth young skin, not necessarily lots of 'blemishes' turning up on her skin as she got older. An older skin - whether 35, 45, 55, 65 etc - isn't perfectly smooth and young looking normally. Blemish free was just a term I used to ask if her skin matched her perceived age. I'm with @SereneNight - I think her age looks like it stops at the neck, regarding her skin. It's wonderful to see a more mature woman in DAZ's iconic bases finally, but to me, her skin is more important. Zevo's aging morphs can do age - but the skin is important.

    Yep exactly that, she was originally Khloe but we had to rename her, I didnt catch it on that promo image *shoot* Will see about getting that updated.

    One thing she reminds me of is an aging super model  who does yoga regularly and eats a lot of salad! I still like her.

    @jakiblue Were you thinking of a character more along these lines: https://www.daz3d.com/bellatrix-for-genesis-2-female-s

    wel picked up the pro bundle, added Kylie, textures for the wide leg pants and the 1st texture pack for Olympus Goddess outfit, got for free Rocker Chic Bundle, GoldieLocks Bundle and Lovable Nerds Bundle for $65.45 - $86.63 Australian pretty good deal for lot of content which actually worked out cheaper than just buying the bundle for $66 so really good deal

    Well I'll just have to disagree the skin that's exposed to the sun long term can look rougher long term but I don't look at a older person's skin and see markings they would not of had in their youth except for almost exclusively sun damage.

    Now if one adds sun damage to the skin then you are talking about tan lines and all sorts of person and clothing specific quirks that really isn't practical in a mass market product like this one is meant to be. Maybe DAZ 3D needs a Skin Builder for G8F and G8M that lets us build something as indiviualized as sun damage. LOL, ever compare the arm of a truck driver that he hangs out the window compared to the one he drives with?

    As far as her body goes tanning hasn't been popular for a while now and I notice a lot of people that are indoor type creatures entering there 50s with very pale skin (so pale you wonder if they have spent more than 10 minutes outdoors in one day in their life) and looking like they are in their teens as far as skin smoothness goes.  Age in an older person's body is reflectly mostly in a bit more sagginess because of muscle atrophy more than skin damage is reflected. One has to weight train to avoid that, seems the body atrophies muscles as we get older for some reason unrelated to the fact many of us haven't gotten any lazier in older age than we were as teens or 20s folk, LOL:
