    Yes indeed, straight into the cart! And thanks for the discount for owners of the Genesis/G2F version, and for getting Brothers and Growing Up together - every little helps! (It took me a few minutes with a calculator to work out how the calculations were done, but they seemed OK to me in the end)

    I was having problems with the cart would you mind saying how much discount you got, I've got both the Growing up products already and with both Growing up for Genesis Male 2 and Brothers in the cart I was getting $2 discount.
    Thanks

    Sorry but I'm really confused by the offered discounts, I have Growing up for Genesis and Genesis 2 Female, I have both Growing up and Brothers in my cart and the discount I'm getting is $1 off each is this correct.

    Assuming you're in PC, then the prices should work out as:
    Growing Up for G2M = 10.47 minus $1 for having a previous version = 9.47
    Brothers = 13.97 minus another 10% for being in basket with Growing Up = 12.57 (or maybe 12.58, not sure about that rounding)
    Total = 22.04
    I you have any Snowball discounts apply that before totalling - I had 10% Snowball discount so that was 8.52 + 11.32 = 19.84 (which is what I was charged)
    NOTE: I think you only get 1 x $1 if you have EITHER the Genesis version OR the G2F version, not $2 if you have both (I do and I didn't)

    Thank you for explaining that. There was nothing indicating a discount for previous versions.

    Thank you yes that's what I got too; to me it didn't seem quite right, the bundle for all 3 Growing ups is $22.37, I've already spent over $20 dollars on the other 2 and now need to spend another $9+, seems a bit unfair to those of us that have already purchased. Unfortunately at this time of year I really have to count the pennies.

    An incredible amount of work goes into creating these morphs, so it's hard to begrudge the extra cost considering what you get for your money. It would be a far greater injustice to give it away at a pittance, and to be fair with the discounts already in place, it's already a pretty good bargain.

    I'm currently the happy owner of all the Growing Up sets for both Genesis 2 and Genesis. I've also purchased both Brothers and Sisters. They really are worth the asking price, so if you use teens and tots as much as I do then I really can't recommend them highly enough. It's a good investment since the kids are so often left out of the big releases.

    I said nothing about them not being worth the price its just that the bundle price is a great deal lower than buying individually, I don't use Teens or youngsters enough now I think about it to warrant buying another set when I have the Genesis set already.

    I was lucky enough to pick up the G2F version then the Genesis version in special offers in the first place, so I've now spent $27.50 in total on all three - which I do consider a bargain for the use I've had and plan to have - which runs more than the bundle, but on the plus side I've had several weeks of fun with the other two already.
    I do love zev0's stuff (only a couple missing from the full collection) so am grateful if I get any savings at all on them.

    It was in this morning's newsletter (and I think it's now on the Hot Promotions page too - not sure when that went up though as I'm in the UK so I always arrive here a few hours after the offers go up)

    At last :lol:

    Can't wait to mix these into my genesis 2 chars! Dang work keeping me away from my 3D fix >.<</p>

    Insta buy.

    In my case buying the g2f and g2m together came out cheaper than the bundle so xP

    Having been looking forward to this for over a month, I've wasted no time putting them to use. I don't want to spam the thread with them, but here's the more recent of them, also featuring the Sisters pack.

    First chance to play - just a simple use of the 10-year-old, using Brothers ...
    ETA: I was doing a much more complex version with three boys, different ages, but unfortunately DS crashed when I hit one of my periodic and unexplained problems using a Leatherize shader preset. As I'd carelessly failed to save the scene it's gone ...

    Having a big issue with the textures for the Brothers set.
    Sorry, but since it's suppose to be a younger person I was expecting a cleaner, smoother texture, not blurred and wrinkly.
    Normally I would not say anything but since I cannot return the product (Due to the snowball promotion) I would like at least the following issue fixed please.

    Texture template exposed on the toes, also visible on the bump, sss, and normal maps.

    From what i can see, all bros share the same texture set. The set looks fine for the oldest 2-3 of em, but looks weird for the youngest ones, unless you cover all but their face, neck, and hands or put them at a distance.

    tbh, I use a transferred k4 texture set on the youngest ones in the scenes I started with them. Not perfect either, but at least they can wear more believable clothing (although Melanie's armored pic above works with any texture xD same goes for ninja outfits, as I found xP)

    BTW, is there just a body morph--no head/face? Or am I missing something?

    ...would post a render of wth I'm talking about, but I can't render anything more complicated than a single character with no background and 1-2 lights at most until my new PC arrives--just playing around with scene arrangements in preview mode for now.

    EDIT: actually, I should probably correct myself. Their legs look hairy. the arms look passable for even a 5 yearold (I think). So it isn't as dire as I originally stated :lol:

    Here is 5 year old surfer Dan. I used the FW Dan character as the starting point. I modified the Dan texture to reduce bump and displacement, because I wanted smoother skin without the bulging veins. He still has a little issue with minimal stubble and arm hair, but I think he is OK. I certainly have a shortage of skins that could be children skins. I'm sorry to hear that Brothers isn't a perfect solution to that problem. I had considered buying it just to get a child skin. I'll hold off for now.

    Here's a render of Gareth (the 10yo version) showing off his hairy legs :P

    Children skins are in short supply, I agree. This one, if nothing else, is easier to modify into a child skin compared to a lot (if not most) other male skins I've seen.

    ...on a side note: is it me or all my char renders looks smug? O.o

    Appreciate the feedback:) I'm sure we can have these changed to have less\no hair on the legs:)

    Sweet! Thank you much <3</p>

    Growing Up is one of my favoritest products (all of the versions actually) and now the Brothers' versatile morphs and textures can be used without extra work even with beach/surf themed renders :lol:

    Really impressed with your attention to detail O.O

    Hav a Happy New Year! :D

    (pic showing off his legs for comparison with my previous screenie--hence the weird choice of clothes :P)

    Greetings,
    I'm a little late to the party, but I wanted to let you know that in the middle of a family vacation to Disneyland, I woke up one morning, checked email on my phone as I was waking, and saw the 'brother from another mother' tag line, went straight to DAZ on my cellphone, didn't really notice what discount I got, put everything in the cart, bought it, smiled happily, and put my phone away and took my own little boys (5 & 3) to Disney.

    I only a day ago actually installed it all, and if D|S will stop crashing for one g*d**n render, I'll see about putting it up here.

    Count me in the camp who didn't buy Olympia because I was saving my zlotys for this. I'll get around to her in March... :)

    Thank you so much!

    -- Morgan

    Well, thought I'd peek in and contribute.
    I have a thing for the Garth body/ Young teen preset, lol.
    Anyway, been playing for a while and mixing in various other dials.

    Used the Summer on the River clothing (genesis with auto fit), G2F standing pose from Dumor3D (yes I know, not a boy pose) and two Advanced Spots - rendered in under a minute :)

    I'm having a problem with the Adult Proportions morph. When I use it, the eye no longer fits in the head. This is M6 with Adult Proportions set to 100%.
