Oh wow.  I mean just wow.  I think this is my new favorite G8F and the price isn't even posted yet.

    Certainly looks good.

    ... but no separate head and body morphs? Hmm.

    Pretty teen (?) character.  Beautiful subtle make-up.  And I don't usually make a big deal about feet, but: nice feet!

    I suppose you could apply the character and then choose a different head or body afterward.

    She is beautiful and totally well done. Great work. And although Sina and her are in the same range (teen or young twenty-something) they don't look too close to each other. Wonderful.

    There are separate head and body morphs in the package, according to the file list.

    I don't see it - there is just

    • BJ Ensley
    • Apply/Remove preset

    ... or am I missing something?

    She does look great though.

  • In the description it is stated that she is an assymetric HD morph, which is welcome. I like it that Bluejaunte created a realistic character. And don't have any character from this PA yet. This might be the first (did consider Faye & young Lyra). I agree with Sevrin, I also don't make a big deal of the feet normally, but those feet are a plus. Might be good for some swimming pool shots.

    Can anyone already comfirm that this character has pointy breasts? In the promo shots it looks like that. I would like if this character has, since 99% off the characters in the store have the normal shape. some variation in shape is welcome.

    I have a few, all are wishlisted.

    Basically, they all add something to the gene-pool; so if one is in more of a hurry, they make for a good base, partially dialled in with some SimTenaro randomisation.

    I can see this character being one of those that is particularly tough to get the age. So might get 'carded' (it's called?), or conversley might not.

    That made me think of a joke Ricky Gervais told at some awards show: "Once Upon a Time in Hollywood was so long that by the end of it, Leonardo DiCaprio's date to the premiere was too old for him."

    Ensley is another bestseller I'm sure. Now, if bluejaunte just made a man so these girls would have a date in their class (who wasn't old enough to be their dad). But making a real man is quite difficult; that's probably why there are so few, but I speak of humans.

    She is absolutely stunning and I agree with @sevrin -- a really realistic teen/young adult look. Now if only I had $20 to spend on one character! But she's wishlist for sure. She really shows how Bluejaunte's approach to achieving HD realism by crafting small individual asymmetric details and custom sculpts in the expressions and teeth etc that are unique for that "person" truly hits the next level :)

    Her description states...

     

    "Ensley includes the following:

    • Asymmetric head morph
    • Asymmetric HD morph"

    Which is suggestive (but not definitive) that she has a seperate head morph from her full body morph

    Sorry, but I don't get what you are trying to say on the last line. What do you mean that she is "tough to get the age". What is 'carded'?? 

    Those $20 are indeed a stretch for a single character. I need to buy too much of my wishlist to compensate the discount back to 69%, let alone to 75%. Using her as trigger/leverage for the discount is really troublesome.

    @kleinefotoman "Sorry, but I don't get what you are trying to say on the last line."

    In the US, "carded" means getting checked for legal age before buying alcohol. Mant places have begun to check id regarless of appearance.

    "Can anyone already comfirm that this character has pointy breasts?"

    There are many breast morphs available in the shop. if you don't own https://www.daz3d.com/genesis-8-female-body-morphs , you should at a minimum buy it.

    Hey guys! Yes there are absolutely separate head and body morphs smiley

    That list was auto generated by the Store Page Lister product, guess I have to look into why it doesn't list the individual Apply/Remove presets (head, body, HD details and feet neutralize in this case). Maybe I've just used it wrong.

    Pointy breasts, well somewhat? I'm not sure at what point breasts become pointy. She's clearly underage, can I legally show the breasts here from an untextured viewport render?

    But yeah, to make them as pointy as you want should be no issue with morphs.

    Bluejaunte's characters are more expensive than many other characters. These character packs are packed with details which you can use for other characters as well, and will even achieve great results for close ups. You also get unique skin presets that can be used for other characters and work with other diffuse, normal and bump maps.

    All of these matter more and less only if you use these characters in renders where you can see those details. If you just need another character for renders that focus more on environments or clothes then chances are you are turning mesh resolution to base, subdivision to zero, downscale the diffuse and maybe even delete the bump and normal maps because at a certain distance they don't really matter but take up precious vram space. If this is your intended use case there are other options ... I shot 5 characters at 2-3 usd each in the last months.

    Thank you, bluejaunte! This is going to be my Easter gift for myself :)

    This just made me LOL! A question philosophers have debated since the dawn of time.

    Also, thanks so much @bluejaunt for all of the painstaking detail, time and passion you've put into this character (as you do with all of your characters!!) 

  • @Asari, as Ensley seems to have detailed skin, I would use her for normal shots and closeups. Characters without detail I use as background characters. But thanks for the hints about vram.

    @bluejante, thanks for the info about the morphs and the breasts. When I want to buy a character, I personally like to see at least one promo shot where you can see the complete form of said character (shoulders, breastshape &size, taille, hip and legs). For a younger character a swimsuit with pattern (so you better see the shape) will do.

    Yeah new standards at DAZ, we are no longer allowed to even show shoulders of underrage characters. So the swimsuit is out I guess.

    Would a leotard or full bodysuit be acceptable?

  • Yeah new standards at DAZ, we are no longer allowed to even show shoulders of underrage characters. So the swimsuit is out I guess.

    Hmm. Those rules make tank tops taboo, too (example: "basic wear"). Maybe time for cap-sleeve T-shirts to make a come-back? wink

    Though, as Leana mentioned, leotards or bodysuits might also solve that dilemma.

    Theoretically it should be, though it wouldn't surprise me if it was rejected if that body suit is too tight and revealing? I don't know.

    Is there any Mac user here? I can't apply shape to Ensley. Just genesis 8 female base. I guess it's a big bug for MacOS.

    Enter 'ensley' into the search field, there should be head and body morphs? As they're not showing as currently used I can only assume they didn't get dialed in somehow. Or are missing.

    Given that the only two qualities anyone will ever use to decide when buying a 3D figure are the morph shpaes and the skin textures, it seems bizarre that DAZ doesn't have some kind of standard guideline for this sort of thing.  Then again, no matter how you look at it, DAZ really does have some schizophrenic policies for a company that, at the end of the day, makes its money selling naked human figures and revealing clothing. If you follow their apparent logic of trying to not offend anyone anywhere, then how long will it be before all female figures sold here will only be able to be displayed wearing full body burqas? 

    All that aside, thanks again for continuing to push the bar with your awesome character work.
