    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.

    You have to go to the file list in the Read Me section: http://docs.daz3d.com/doku.php/public/read_me/index/68661/file_list

    There you will find

    PayPal is an option for buying games fron Steam. Steam has outright pornographic games in its store now. So no, Paypal is not the issue. If it was, then either Steam would stop using Paypal or Paypal would have forced Steam to change its policy.

    PayPal was definitely the problem in the cases I mentioned.

    Yes, they also provide services to sites with porn content. Do they charge the same as for family friendly sites though? That's definitely a factor. And they decide what "family friendly" means for them.

    Please do bear in mind that these rules may not be Daz' preference, bu somthing (they believe is) necessary to avoid issues with content filtering. Look at the issue certain product names caused a ittle while back, that certainly wasn't Daz' doing.

    Who is filtering content based on an exposed shoulder? I want names and details. 

    Well, let's see... where to begin

    First, at Wasatch High in Heber CIty Utah, the school officials actually altered the yearbook photos of dozens of female students to cover their shoulders.  https://www.csmonitor.com/USA/Society/2014/0530/Shoulder-shaming-girls-at-Utah-high-school-Why-the-big-coverup ;

    Then female reporters starting being barred from entering court houses while wearing outfits with bare shoulders, with one nationally publicized case being in Ogden, Utah. https://www.standard.net/reporter-booted-from-court-for-bare-shoulders/article_5df1606a-2787-57a1-9142-439a0cff5b11.html

    But hey, that was nothing, because then the U.S. House of Representatives completely banned female reporters from wearing sleeveless dresses while the Republicans were in control.    https://nypost.com/2017/07/06/women-with-bare-shoulders-banned-from-house-speakers-lobby/

    Then there's Pennsacola, Florida, another place where high school girls aren't allowed to bare their shoulders.  https://www.pnj.com/story/news/education/2017/08/25/pensacola-teen-protests-high-schools-ban-bare-shoulders/598546001

    And, sadly, I could go on and on. 

    Not a single one of these pertain to a website search, though.

    The point was that there's ample evidence that there are a number of people in positions of authority who do, inexplicably, consider the baring of a woman's shoulders to be inappropriate and have gone to extreme measures to impose their tastes on others. The Wasatch High incident was especially egregious, as the retouching was done without anyone even being aware that it had happened until the Yearbooks... which the students had paid for in advance.. were delivered.  Given the declining level of freedom on the internet and the open willingness of big net companies like Facebook to actively censor content at the behest of local governments, it's not inarguable that that such filters could possibly be the wave of the future.

    On the other hand, to be fair, is anyone going to not buy a character because the shoulders weren't visible? Probably not. But yeah does it stop there? What about feet, hands, legs, faces... I don't know, let's hope it stops with shoulders.

    Its the principle behind the policy that could certainly effect purchasing decisions. So yes it totally can. Perhaps a lot of people are not aware of this backward policy. Perhaps others will not care, its only a shoulder, right? On its surface it just sounds like a silly thing to get upset about. And some people may falsely think its is somehow protecting real kids. But ultimately it is about taking people's rights away, because kids have rights, too. If girls can't show their shoulders, where are we headed as a society? And will it even stop at the age of 18? There are numerous states in the US that have raised the age of smoking to 21. Some have attempted to raise the age of buying a gun to 21. What if that trend continues? Will they stop allowing 18 year olds to do other things? Like join the army or vote?

    Oh, they definintely won't stop allowing teens to join the military.  Well, not unless they reinstate the draft.  The entire current recruitment system is built around the idea that kids with no skills put up their bodies in exchange for learning a few skills or college credit.  Push that age back a few years and the 20 year old who's put in a few years starting to advance in the job market is going to be far less inclined to sign up.

    But other than that, yeah.

    Simply make sure that ALL promos using ALL females have the characters wear this: https://www.daz3d.com/dforce-sheet-ghost-for-genesis-8-female or other, less revealing, clothing.

    Paypal fees for pornographic sites are higher because of the rate of chargebacks, where customers dispute a payment, is much higher. That is why those specific sites get higher fees, and that only pertains to those specific sites. Daz is not going to be classified as porn because they show a girl's shoulder. Considering all of the other content that Daz sells, like pro bundles that include actual genital props, I find it extremely unlikely that a bare shoulder is what tips the scales to porn, LOL.

    Even if Paypal did charge Daz more, for one, I would sue for discrimination if they could not provide proof that chargebacks were higher for Daz customers. But other sites seem to get by OK with Paypal. Are you telling me that Daz cannot afford a small processing fee, even though Renderosity has less than half the traffic Daz does, and Rendo does far less business?

    And my point is that we stop this dead now. Are we really supposed to just suck it up and hope that the Empire doesn't further alter the deal in the future? That is what I am seeing from most of you. While nearly all of you disagree with this policy, most of you are just waving your hands up and saying "Whelp, that's the world today!"

    If nobody ever speaks up, then we may as well just throw what freedoms we have left away.

    But Ok. I'll stop now. Obviously there is no point. This is your new reality people. Enjoy it.

    There's very little you can do. Drop an email to Daz and let them know what you think. Other than that, you'd have to probably go to the source of the problem which may very well be somewhere else entirely, rooted in culture, location, politics, religion and god knows what. I think it's not far fetched that you will see a different landscape in Utah than at the beaches in south of France. To most Europeans, the ways of the US are rather prude and a nipple slip on TV being a national tragedy is amusing. If you go to Saudi Arabia then the perspective likely changes and suddenly USA is impossibly vulgar.

    So we shrug it off. Like so many things. In the grand scheme of things there really ARE worse things than that, I'm sure you'll agree. It's just a promo. You still get to render as many shoulders as you want laugh

    If I may, ahem, bring the discussion back to the feet: can the displacement be used on another character?

    Yes, it will replace existing displacement maps for the legs but hardly any characters use displacement anyway.

    Any plans for male characters by bluejaunte?

    Would like to see smile HD expression compatible with Genesis 8 male.

    The discussion of what can be shown is getting wildly tangental, leaping from one idea to a geernalisation to an offspin. As has been said, if you are not happy contact Daz (though bear in mind that it may not be their decision).

    As for the thread, please discuss Bluejaunte's new character.

    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.

    They are really missing. Please correct it. btw, this is one of the most brain stoppers. I bought it immediately without bothering wishlist as usual. thx for a great product. Wonder why there can't be this level of quality much. I guess you have some tricks the others don't know. Oh!, since I'm one of your fanboys (have so many of your works), let me ask you please produce some Asians!

    Thanks for the kind words! 

    Go to folder '\data\DAZ 3D\Genesis 8\Female\Morphs\bluejaunte\Ensley'. Is there a FHMEnsley and FBMEnsley?

    I can't really do much, if it's not working you're gonna have to contact Daz support. If the files were actually missing in the release then many more people would be complaining so I have to assume it's some Mac thing.

    Please don't!  Partially because you might hit someone or hurt yourself, but mainly because this market needs your unique and wonderful inspired products too.  I'm up to 15 of your products now. :)

    So if someone wanted to, they could dial out most of her body and dial in V8 and put her in a bikini and post render here so people could see the full skin texture. Problem solved.

    As ever, amazing looking character.

    Inaru is my most recent purchase. (Just got her.)

    So if someone wanted to, they could dial out most of her body and dial in V8 and put her in a bikini and post render here so people could see the full skin texture. Problem solved.

    I wish it was compulsory to do that with all characters; a shot of them in default shape for just that reason. It would prevent me returning the odd one I expect.

    @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.

    lana_lass said:

    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.

     

    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!!) 

    LOL indeed, and thanks for the kind words smiley

    underaged? she could be without any troubles be between 18 and 20 years...

    She's clearly underage to me, I think in this case you won't find many people who'd argue that. But it goes to show everyone has a different perception of age.

    Not to mention that "legal age" varies quite a bit.   Technically speaking,for example, if you're were trying to doing an accurate illustration of Romeo and Juliet, Shakespeare specifically writes that she's just 13 years old.  'she hath not seen the change of fourteen years'  .

    Oh yeah girls used to have children around 13 too. No wonder when life expectancy was only 40.

    I've got a cousin that eloped at age 13 to another state & got married. Here husband was 15 close to 16 I was told. They've since raised the marriage age in those states. She was married over 20 years before she got a divorce. She's remarried now. There marriage and kids were tyypicval, except their ages, nothing particularly weird, and nothing was arranged on anyone else's part to get the two together to begin with. I've never heard of the reverse situation where a 13 year old boy eloped to get married although 15 years old ain't far off.
