    Can anyone show Daenestra without Angharad?

    Well, I guess I'm going to pass. If there were more character addons and as nice as Daenestra, I might have considered, but I'm not interested in any of the other addons, especially textures for outfits I'm not really into in the first place. If these outfits had been sexier, I would have jumped at the bundle, but now I'll just wait till I can get the character cheap so I can get Daenestra. Glad I didn't spend a whole lot to get that $10 coupon. Also, the deal is terrible, very few freebies. I really wish a character like Daenestra would be the core character, but we always get unattractive characters with terrible makeup  that the PAs have to work hard to make pretty.

    Interesting, might of guessed there was no g sound.

    Quick render & mess around in GIMP.

    Yes, she's got a big gourd on her.

    I always like Chainmail for ridiculous sexification. That always sells me. Just drop in a trans map.

    I'm not a fan of unform-looking fantasy, so I mixed some of the Ninian textures here.

    Corseted fantasy. *sigh* Got like a million outfits like this? At least corsets fit over a lot of different armors and body suits (or skin only), so corsets will always be useful.

    She's built like a young gymnast sort of. Not too sorry I didn't get a banner - I don't need any more females ;). And I agree what someone said about buyer fatigue - it's getting to be a real drain. I think I'm gonna lay off for awhile.

    It is really a pity, that the PC+Monthly Coupon doesn't work. I have the Starter Bundle and an Add on and 2 selected G8 in the cart and if I try to use the Monthly Coupon it only good for a change from 34.88$ to 31.43$ .... there is no freebie in the cart....shouldn't teh Coupon work with the full 6$?

    The select G8 will mess with the coupon. All these "fixed" priced items we get lately do because thay cannot be lower in value, its similar to freebies, they "eat" part  of  the $6.

    Is there a chance to get an refund as store credit for the rest of the 6$? Have anybody tried?

    This probably isn't the place to ask, but thought I might get an answer without starting a new thread...

    How does one get the Purple Banners? I used to get them somewhat regularly, but for the last 6 Months or so (in which I've spent far more money than in the past) I haven't seen a single one. Is it triggered by specific purchases?

    It varies.  In today's case, you needed to have bought one of yesterday's new releases.

    In last couple of Pro bundle sales having "many" G8 pro bundles triggered the banner. The "many" seems to vary from time to time. Example I did not got it owning 8 bundles for Aubrey, but 5 of those i had bought only a couple days prior(maybe they calculated with days in advance). Next Bundle (sahira) i did got it and i had the same 8. Now i'm over 20 bundles and i got it also for Daisy. But i think i read some people that did got it for aubrey and sahira did not for Daisy.

    And today, no one got the purple bunner for owning many G8. This time it's a $10 off if you purchased a debut item yesterday (and it was advertised in advance).

    Glad the other render looks good. It really was just a quick mess around in GIMP, playing with lighting in post. (She's rendered in almost default full light, with some additional lights. Then I layer soft and hard light in post, and use other layers (some partial/erased to let other effects through).)

    Angharad seems like she's made for the dark and brooding kind of fantasy, which I prefer in general.

    I would, but my browser isn't playing nice with attachments in the Daz forum right now.

    I grew up in England, knew quite a few Welsh. I still would have fouled it up.

    I thought it was pronounced Ahng Har Odd.

    So, thanks for the clarification. Now I won't sound silly.

    Thanks for the pronunciation link, @Chohole! That's a beautiful sound to me. @tsarist, that IS how it's pronounced, not with a hard American "at" A.

    Kudos to the copywriter of the product page Details!

    "From an early age, Angharad made her own way in the early human world, quickly finding her fleet feet and skill with a blade advantageous. She established a name for herself in underground combat rings, learning how to dodge lumbering enemies and the city guard with equal ease.

    Angharad 8 likes to explore exotic and ancient ruins, and is rarely intimidated or frightened on excursions. With 4 Eye Colors and 5 Make-Ups, she’s welcome most anywhere, but beware -- her sense of diplomacy has occasionally involved insulting dragons to their faces."

    The Blurst of Times said:

    Yay! Do more, please.

    I usually see women with Angharad 8's specific somatotype (big head, short neck, short torso, no waist) who are 5 feet or so (152.4 to 156 cm) rather than 5' 6" like she is, but I'm thankful to have that body shape in Daz on a slider.

    This could be most unpronounceable bundle so far! I get the theme, but, geez. 

    Her skin looks off. Like the normal and bumps are way too high, and it just doesn't look right. Daisy has more realistic skin, and she's supposed to be the fairy.

    The EXzela hair looks nice, its about the only item that peaks any interest for me. Though Daenestra (these names are wack) is nice, too. EXzela is elegant, yet still practical hair, and looks better than most dforce hairs. However in this promo pic here you can see it is conforming to something it shouldn't be, which I thought dforce was supposed to prevent from happening. 

    That might be something that could be dialed out, I don't know. This hair lists no regular morphs, so its strictly dforce only. That is a serious drawback in my book, as I like the utility of being able to just use it without dforce sometimes. One thing though, the promos of Angharad for EXzela are much more appealing than the promos on her own product page, so maybe there is hope for her.

    The offer is ok, its basically a repeat of Daisy's, and I am guessing the purple banner will also repeat Daisy's. But this model looks much weaker overall. Some of the bundle items prop her up slightly, but I feel like I have seen these outfits before. 

    Buyer fatigue is setting in. You are playing a dangerous game Daz.

    As someone of Afro-Welsh ancestry, i have to ask what is hard about Ang (as in sang) plus Har (like hard without the d) plus ad (like add): Ang Har Ad.  It means "much loved one".

    It's probably hard if you're a monolingual American angel

    I am an American who speaks only English but it isn't any harder than Idaho.

    My comment was just a bit tongue-in-cheek (which makes it hard to pronounce everything by the way)...

    Note to self: if it looks mildly funny in your head: keep it there.

  • tsaristtsarist Posts: 1,618
    I love this character. One of the morphs is even more appealing than the base.

    The clothes are interesting. Maybe not as sexy as I would like, but cool anyway.

    Im picking her up today.

    That's how it goes. If the outfits had been sexied up, I would have passed on the bundle, and maybe have wishlisted the base and the HD. The next bundle will probably be right up your preferences again :)

    That looks great. Is the top belt attached to the corset or top? Does the top have a lot of material zones that you can make invisible? 

  • PhatmartinoPhatmartino Posts: 287

    Thanks for the info on the Banners, guys! I'll just be happy and possibly take advantage if I inadvertantly qualify in the future.

    Thanks!

    Belt is separate (under Accessories). Corset and Shirt are separate items. Bracers are part of the Shirt, and the Gloves are really just little half-gloves, which is fine.

    The Shirt has many zones, but the main region is "Shirt", so you can't just hide it without making her practically naked. You need to edit/create Opacity maps on Ninian if you want to sexify it. (There IS an Opacity map with the base textures, but it seems to simply eliminate a wrap around the collar, which is odd. Must be part of the sculpt that was not wanted by the texture artist.)

    I like her! I won't be getting her, though. She reminds me a bit of Ophelia 7 and Bridget 8 so I don't think she'd add all that much to my library.

    (She also vaguely reminds me of AubreyJosepheneCJRobynLeisaJenni...)

    Daenestra on the other hand is really gorgeous. I'd love to see a her without Angharad, and perhaps one with Bridget instead of Angharad.

    She's lovely either way.  Mostly shorter?  I didn't reframe after dialing out the base.  Out of the box, she only has Angharad dialed in 50%.

    I really like her face, though her head is a bit big - but this can be dialed out easily. Her body looks nice, too.

    I would think so - open a ticket for Sales and one of the options is for Coupon for Freebie or the like (I know it isn't actually a freebie but functionally it looks to be the same issue so I'd pick that).

    @Sevrin: Thank you so much! Definitely a character worth getting even without the base!
