More like Keiko 8.
I may have tried to add Gens to her (for Science!!!), and it doesn't look like there are textures for it.
So what do you think is lacking ? it might help with the next release !
I predict we'll see textures on R'otica within the next week or so. XP
I like her. She has a more than slight Miku Hatsune feel with the Kanade hair and the Photon outfit (and I'm a fan).
Most of the other costumes are a little bit of a miss for me I feel, and the bundled pose sets are just meh (they might be ok, but the promo pics are dead-eyed)
However, her companion characters are all great.
It's one of those situations where I like about half, but not there's not a lot there I'd use regularly enough to justify pulling the trigger on a bundle buy.
Especially as Daz have gotten in the habit of running a hard to turn down sale the day before a big release.
Maybe we'll see in the next week.
Torso UV worked just fine for the Daz gens. Scripts for the third party gens should not have a problem with her since Genesis 8 did away with the custom UV proliferation.
...
As a figure, not 100% my thing. However, I'll take cute (KAWAII!!!!) any day, and her genetics will add to the collective.
If anything, she seems closer to Aiko, with the view that Aiko 7 and 8 have become more humanistic than previous Aikos. She's decidedly more voluptuous than Keiko.
Photon textures were definitely one of the add on packs that went into my cart.
So that hair finally came out. That's all I care about.
I am just guessing here that kanade-hair https://www.daz3d.com/kanade-hair-for-genesis-8-female-s\
is not strans base hair or deforce. its doesn't say it is anyway .
I'm disappointed. Kanade herself isn't that different from Aiko. Worse, many of the promo pics prominently feature items that don't come with the bundle.
Main splash for Kanade: 'Love that jewelry on the left Kanade and the bracers on the center Kanade! The mesh top on the right Kanade could be fun to work with. And ... they're nowhere to be seen in the bundle.'
Main thumbnail for Kanade: 'Ooh, she comes with a sailor high school uniform!' Nevermind. That's a previous PA release.
Main thumbnail for Clary for Kanade: 'Wow, look at that outfit, especially those wings! Where in the bundle is this outfit?' Sigh. The outfit in the promo must be kit-bashed from various items not in the bundle.
The offerings that do come with Kanade are decent, but most of them don't have the pizzazz of the stuff that was used for promo pics. I'll have to look at the additional bonuses to see whether or not it's worth buying. It's not a terrible bundle, but not very exciting, either.
Basically she's Aiko 2.0
Pass for me.
pass
I’d love to know where the wings are from too. Outfit is indeed made from parts of other outfit, the top is from Gemini Warrior outfit for example.
Is funny seeing all the people going to the trouble of posting they they are not getting her
been guilty myself on previous figures but usually elaborate why
she actually is fine for what she is, and a good deal with $70 free offered to me and Sanjay is in the stuff offered, I just simply don’t have the funds.
I didn't really need her (since I already have Aiko and Sakura, so she'd almost be like the third sibling of the same family), but there were enough other things in the pro-pack (Emiko hair, Photon outfit, Charmer outfit and the mask from the Yami Kawaii outfit) and between the addons (texture addons for Photon and Charmer, plus the Panther outfit with texture addon) that would've cost me as much as the pro-pack if I were to buy them seperately, so I figured I might as well grab the rest of the contents as extras and pick up $70 in long-time wishlisted items with it.
One of the things that mildly annoyed me about some anime is that all the girls have the exact same face with different colour hair to distinguish them. But we now have Kanade 8, Sakura 8, Aiko 8, and the other recent PA characters to give us a variety when there's a group photo. And thanks to crocodile liu's spilling of the beans, we know that Yuzuru is forthcoming as a partner for Kanade. If he's a Core character, it would be great if his accompanying Pro Bundle mates are same-type partners for Sakura and Aiko.
General thoughts: base character is closer to the Aiko 3/Aiko 4 paradigm than the newer ones, so that kind of appeals to me. Photon outfit is something a little different from what we've seen and super-kudos for the built-in underlayer-all I'd have to do is swap out the transmaps to have a more conservative looking outfit. Mori Kei and Yami Kawaii are really cute. Charmer outfit...only things I'd use would be the gloves and maybe the pants. Hairstyles are a bit stylized and may not work for photorealistic renders, but they're reasonable companions to this character. Addon characters inside the bundle and out are generally good, although I don't care for the jailbait-ish (maybe unintentional?) promo art on Hana, who is the most naturalistic of the Kanade characters, and looks to me to be about 16-17. Some of the other characters also skate a bit close to the wind in terms of promo art, but they are more stylized, and their age is more ambiguous. The geoshell lipsticks on the Hinkypunk character are a clever idea, but as someone who would be back-converting any characters to G3F, it's unlikely to be useful to me personally.
The free stuff category has been topped off with more interesting and current items, FWIW. Didn't have to work to find things that appealed to me.
If I purchase, it will be because I like the base character and want to support the design decisions made on Mori Kei and Photon.
Yeah. The new stuff in the "free" area for Kanade was more than ample inducement for this one. A lot of things I had on my wishlist.
Now to get through my work day before I can actually start playing with my new doll.
One of the BEST Daz character!!! A definite buy! Please make more anime characters. Thank you.
Anyone know why Hana add on is showing 30% and the others 51% off?
At first I wasn't particularly interested with the core character since I generally prefer to do photorealistic renders, but this might be one of the first bundles where I could easily find more than four add-ons I would love to pick up with the bundle (granted, I'm still fairly new, and I don't have either of the previous anime bundles). I really like the accompanying hairs and outfits, too.
Downside is that I can't drop that much money in one sitting to make that purchase. But the characters look like a lot of fun, and I'm especially curious to see renders made with Cinder, Hana, and Amerie.
Hopefully I'll be able to snag this one and a few of the add-ons in the future. :-D
Also, she's not a Daz Original, or isn't listed as one currently, so I suspect that's why she isn't getting the extra discount.
If you're a Platinum Club member, then you get a 30% discount on Daz Original items. There is a default 30% introductory discount for new items in the first two weeks. This is where the 51% comes from. For items that are not Daz Originals (such as Hana), you don't get the extra 30% discount, just the base introductory discount.
Spent $80 on the Daz orginal sale yesterday. Gotta pass on this one.
Good to know, thanks!!
I don't really render anime or cartoony figures (so no add-on characters for me), but I love the cute outfits (including the add-ons) and hair!
I like her a lot! Definitely picked her up. IMO, the best add-on character is Hana. But I'm a sucker for that fresh faced freckled look. Especially when my daughter and I are working on an image together.
