Ashan 8

Ashan 8 himself looks interesting and different enough to encourage me to buy my first Pro bundle in a while. I'm very keen to see what he renders like, but unfortunately, although I can download him now, I have to work today and so can't take a proper look until later.
I'm very pleased with not just the look of the new pro bundle out today, but with the overall offers - simple discounts, simple free items and no trawling through pages and pages of items to find something that I want.
Great work Daz on the deal for this one.

Very nice. And the bundle items look kitbashable.
Plus, am very grateful for the 3DL materials on that beard.
Gorgeous character! I love most of the outfits and side characters as well. Wish I could buy, but into the wishlist for now.
Does anyone recognise the facial hair in the Dacre HD character there? https://www.daz3d.com/dacre-hd-for-ashan-8 4th pop up promo
Sale with banner (for buying Pro Bundles before) is nice, plus the free bundle(s) and extras...might get this set. Good job here, thanks.

is dForce Hair, but the dForce prefix is missing in the product name.
@jakiblue Looks like Willis.
Welcome back from long breaks, @ThePhilosopher and @VincentXyooj. Big ups to @sade, one of the hardest working PAs in Daztopia.
Valentino has a running mate. I like him. The purple banner was sweet too added to the incentives and pre-gift card sales. The outfits look real good. This is a nicely done bundle, minus the V4-era-looking dForce hair. Thank you, Daz, for a true high-definition HD Add-On rather than the non-HD HD Add-Ons of recent releases.
.... oops lol I had posted link to hair not facial hair. Need more coffee.
That aside, the bundle is a no brainer and imo probably the best sculpted HD male to date or at least one of the top ones. Reminds me of G3 male details. So many kudos to that individual.
Took a look at the readme for Insidious Monk, since recent history indicates that something credited only to "Daz Originals" may have a PA we've never heard of before. And, well ... definitely not the case for that outfit. It has more than 35 listed creator credits in the readme.
That said, I'm pretty sure that's an error. It seems to start with the beginning of the Daz alphabet, and doesn't even get all the way through letter A before it stops. I think someone may have pasted the entire author field of the database into that, and just run into the character/author limit.
According to the file list, it looks like Barbara Brundon is the actual creator for Daz, and she's definitely someone we've heard of before!
Pro Bundle says he comes with girly bits.
Could be the new one that comes with Ashan https://www.daz3d.com/ashan-beard-for-genesis-8-male
With the purple banner for all the other Genesis 8 Pro Bundles I own, and using the special offers, the Ashan 8 Pro Bundle, together with three Genesis 2, two Genesis 3, and one Genesis 8 Po Bundles displays at USD 22.26. That is very very nice, given that another Genesis 8 Pro Bundle is already there. The HD add-on is only USD 8.23 for me.
Wow. Thank you for the generous discount Daz.
I would advise anyone thinking about buying the bundle to experiment with the various special offers and discount combinations at hand.
We will report that.
Well, at least she's not another interchangeable blonde... LOL
I love male releases
I tend to save plenty of cash.
I thought that was more of a Rotica theme myself, but Daz is branching out!
But, he has a Jennifer Aniston wig
which is a valid lifestyle choice
I read the offer as an "or" not an "and" ;)
The offer ist
Buy the Ashan 8 Pro Bundle and choose 1 of the following for FREE:
1 Select Genesis 8 Pro Bundle
2 Select Genesis 3 Pro Bundles
3 Select Genesis 2 Pro Bundles
I like him:
Sun Worshipper

it's "and". I think it's misleading because you get 1 x G8 pro bundle, 2 x G3 pro bundles and 3 x G2 Pro bundles if you get the Ashan pro and three add ons.
Looks like the beard from https://www.daz3d.com/dylan-for-michael-8 to me
Strange. I must have overlooked that red part and it worked for me.
I got those 6 Pro Bundles for free.
"Choose 1 of the following for FREE" explicitly denotes a choice from a selection. (Then they listed the set from which the selection would be made). I forgot English is not Daz's first language.
Oh man, he's stunning and the deal is almost too good to pass up. I'm super nervous about pulling the trigger on this big of a discount since I last got the cart bug, though--it's almost $1k worth of stuff.
Edit: oh right it's 4am and I forgot I could just get a gift card for the amount he actually costs.
Looking at the promos for the figure https://www.daz3d.com/ashan-8 I wonder if they are using the HD add on there - I'm not getting that same definition when rendering the base.
I bought the pro bundle and at least 3 add ons, then I just added one G8 bundle. Does this mean I lost out on 2 G3 and 3 G2 Pro bundles simply because Daz can't write? Jeeez...
Bit grainy as I finished it early - was just a test. Not a bad figure. Will have to mix him in with the very very few G8 Males I have LOL and see what I get.

You have to add three Ashan 8 add ons to get that deal...but the sales discount increases so the price for the bundle drops. My overall priice after adding a couple of the textures and one of the add on characters was lower than the bundle alone.
