    I found the dusk and daytime versions of a recent PC+ dead tree were absolutely identical too even though they had different icons devil

    So, does it need to be upgraded, or is it going to stand as is?

    Based on past experience - don't hold your breath.

    Well, at least the Bundle file isn't in my "downloads to do" DIM list...

    Yeah, after nearly a month with no textures, I had them refund my purchase of the Be Carefree outfit.  They know it's not right, but it's still being offered for sale.  "Known Issues" is, of course, blank.  IDK what that's even there for anymore.

    last few days bought several newly released  products not showing up in the right places and very hard to locate or missing stuff such as textures lots of them

    The sad truth is that Daz is NOT what it used to be ;).

    I've been super impressed with the level of detail and realism that Dekogon Studios brings to their products. This is a wonderful Classroom and I'm SO GLAD they're bringing their creations to Daz Studio!

    Special thank you to @Aabacus for the great scene file: https://www.daz3d.com/forums/discussion/comment/5896861/#Comment_5896861

    I really love this product! It would have been better if there where a couple of scene files (or scene subsets even) with the props placed, but seriously at that AMAZING price and for what all you get with it - you can't really complain. lol The number of props and all that comes with this bundle is fantastic! All in all, an outstanding bundle!

    I've done some renders with it (with some minor mods to Aabacus' scene).

    I really like this bundle! I can see myself using these great assets frequently! :D

    When You check the render settings, you'll notice that the time is different. And as the scene comes with "Sun Sky only" active, this will change the lighting. Of course without a sky in the background it's not easy to notice.

    I haven't looked at it that much closer, but it also might be that the candle in the lamp on the lamp post might be lit in the dusk setup. Or it might not. *shrug*

    But yeah, it's a bit weird that there are two scenes delivered that don't really are that different...

    Quality has been somewhat laz these days too ... thought I would look for some of the alleged hidden drawers to make some morphs. What I found was a lot of overlapping mesh [bad for Iray render times] [useful for any render come to think of it] and overlapping surfaces all on the one surface material [not helpful].

    Considering I did get the package for a good price I'll keep it but at full price, no way. The concept is not to have to remodel things to make them work.

    the mort arbor tree had an update so maybe scenes different now, not looked

    Very nice. Thanks a lot...

    If You got too much spare time to kill - devil - the teacher's table has four unmovable drawers, which maybe could be made to move, too.

    my Saturn has its ring BTW

    Mine is a square plane which on close inspection has an image of the rings imprinted on it. Also getting what appears to be gouges in the model

    There don't seem to be any transparency maps with the sets.  The orrery is missing one which is why Saturn's rings are a plane.  And if you look closely at the two tomato plants, they're also missing transparency maps for the leaves.

    Looks like dust artifacts on photo(s) used to create the model(s) from photogrammetric methods to my eyes.

    I see they finally adjusted the base price of the bundle from that $26.95 "steal" price to a less exciting $69.95.

    Well, if they are going to raise the price I hope they fix the problems and also add a preset for the scene.

    Here you go -- and it also had a hidden storage space ;-)

    Saw a new thread about this bundle, but all the goodies are in here, so I will add another small piece of the puzzle. The Table Planets prop with the square rings around Saturn really bugs me, so I made an opacity map to round them off. Just drop it in the Cutout Opacity channel for the Table Planets prop. Save over the original prop/scene_subset to make it permanent.

    Someday I might tackle the tomato plants... yeah, soon...

    Sooner than I thought...

    Here is an opacity mask for the tomato plants (HSSC Plant 01, HSSC Plant 02). Copy the file to the appropriate texture folder ("\Runtime\textures\Tesla3DCorp\HS Science Classroom"), load the prop, and add it to the Cutout Opacity channel. Save each as a scene_subset and overwrite the originals to make it permanent. One of the leaves' UV mapping overlaps with the bottom of the pot. To get the proper leaf cutout, a piece of the bottom of the pot got masked out, but you will never see it, unless you have a propensity for knocking over the plants.

    The Classroom preload uses an internal version, and doesn't use the breakout props, so you will need to do the same for the larger set.

    The texture shaded preview mode looks strange because of the opacity map, but renders okay.
