Torment 8.1

He's devilishy handsome. I really like what I see! I'm genuinely curious though if we'll get updates to previous core characters to 8.1 much like Mike and Vic. Either way I'm really impressed!

    Yeah, he looks good.

    But I'm more impressed about the bad deal.

    $60 for the bundle + xx for addons.

    The $60 free genesis 1 items are not interesting for me and $5 discount per category is a joke.

    Amen 

  • While it is on Daz's Splash page now... it soon won't be.

    Despite the fact that the discounts are not working anyway (as of now)... I wonder if they have mistakenly trown in the "Vault Sales" stuff into the "Legacy Items" selection. That stuff is not just old, it is old with an exclamation mark.

    Does he use the new PBR shader?

    I see mostly Genesis 2 stuff in the Legacy Items selection now. And to be honest, I'm more interested in some of that, than inthe Torment bundle. The bundle has some stuff that makes me go "hmm, maybe", but not $60 (the price the bundle ends up with in my cart) worth of "hmm, maybe". So I might as well just throw $60 worth of Genesis 2 stuff in my cart instead and be done with it. Or buy the bundle, add $60 worth of G2 items, and just tell myself I bought the G2 items and got the Torment bundle thrown in for free. Which I'm not gonna do either, so Torment and todays discounts are going to be a skip for me.

    Beautiful render!

    Kudos to the folks who did the promo renders for this character, too. He's already pretty much exactly my type, but if he wasn't I think I'd still be tempted. laugh

    Very cool character. Good work.

    Otherwise, Thanks Daz, you are saving me so much money in 2021 so far with these awesome incentives.  I'm sure I might eat  it in a couple weeks when March Madness starts. 

    LOL!

    I missed this in the features list because I'm used to getting them with core characters, but his brows are painted and don't come as a separate anatomy attachment. I don't usually use fibermesh brows anyway, but his brow color is tied to skin color with no options to change it (which sucks because I really like his brow shape).

    Wait, so it's locked in with the  blond color?   No other options?

  • Carola OCarola O Posts: 3,823

    There's an off and on for the brows, but from what I gathered the painted brows are locked to the skin color. And there's no fibermesh brows as attachments

  • Interesting figure and interesting bundle (although quite small with 8 products). But I really wonder about recent promotions. OK, throwing in two textures is a now brainer because it brings the bundle price a few additional cents down. But apart from that? Sure, I find some G2 items which I probably never use. And with those 5$ per catagory I can add two additional extremly old things for free which I might also never use. Apart from that? Not much I have to say. So I really need to thing about whether I want to spend $60 or even some more for getting those HD morphs. If DAZ continues with promotions like this they should at least through in the HD into the bundle to make it a bit more attractive.

    Not impressed with this release. Not sure if it's because the products are all uninteresting to me or that they thought it was a tasteful/good idea to release a demon character on Ash Wednesday. (I find it disrespectful.) Only positives I see is that at least the human form has normal teeth, unlike Damien Demon for G3M. And that he implies that the 8.1 lime will be mostly of "new" characters and not repeats like Victoria and Michael.

    That's a good point, and at least somewhat promising for the future.

    So, now I'll just wait for Cat 8.1 and Lilith 8.1, instead of Cat 8 and Lilith 8.

    Can see that the PA's of this product https://www.daz3d.com/kiina-hd-for-genesis-8-female are Baldurs Gate 3 fans..

  • A nice figure but as usual the "deal" for a male figure ensures that he will not sell well.

    I just can't bring myself to buy this bundle because I would feel that I was allowing myself to be ripped off.  The "$5 of each of these categories" is so ridiculous as to be insulting.  They may as well just write, "Buy our new bundle for more than previous pro bundles have been, and we will grant you the privilege of spending even more money on old stuff."

  • and yet I can use the old stuff but not the G8.1 easily so no sale here either

    Gotta say...he looks amazing. I love love love the horns. I don't know if I'd be able to find $60 worth of legacy items, lol. 

    *edit* After looking at the rest of the items in the bundle, I need to weigh if I want to get just the base character. I like the two extra characters that come in the bundle, but I have beef with the two outfits. They are the same quality we've been getting of late...clothes that turn to spaghetti with the slightest of torso/shoulder movement...metal pieces that bend and stretch. They fit all wrong. Just...WHY.

    I wouldn't hold my breath for Lilith 8.1. I think that demon girl shown in one of the promo images, might be the next "matching" figure and I have doubts she'd be called Lilith. I don't like her horns either (I have Tara 2, and it's hard to compete with that quality character IMO) but those don't look too familiar.

    Nice character, but definitely one of the most unreasonable "deals" yet.

    Unless you're simulataneously interested in both G8.1 and Gen 3 or 4 era content, the $60 of Legacy items and $5 off the rather restrictive categories is unlikely to offer any useful discount on anything you might particularly want. (And when it comes to the Staff Picks items, those see better deals than 20% off so often that it's barely worth mention).

    Love the character but not the deal.

    "Buy this state of the art Genesis 8.1 figure and get - drum roll please - $60 of content from the oldest Genesis line!"

    "Or $5 off these newer items that have been MUCH cheaper during past sales!"

    It's baffling to consider that someone in marketing would think this deal would have wide appeal. And it's sad to think that poor sales might be attributed to the character rather than the crappy deal.

  • So many weak and expensive bundles of late.

  • rafidewrafidew Posts: 180

    The character looks really interesting, but the deal's not for me. Maybe I'll pick it up at a later date.

  • Carola OCarola O Posts: 3,823

    I picked up the character himself, the deal was... well beyond lackluster to put it nicely

    Agreed, but obviously still selling. Otherwise DAZ would have changed their approach. Or, maybe not...

    the extra 10 percent isnt triggering.  i have an orange banner.  is it only for the bundle or should it work on the base??

    thanks.

    it says 8.1 i'm guessing it means uses the new head maps?

  • davesodaveso Posts: 7,169

    i'm not into demony characters at all. I like the human form, not the rest. Are the promo pics using the HD add on? They look mighty nice, even the ones with horns. 
    The "sale" price is ridiculous. 10% off, the same. Bundle for sure a pass. Might pick up the character.

    The message does say it's an extra 10% off the Temptation bundle, with a link.

    Leonard HD ... can the demon skins be used without the horns? I don;t like horns. the skin textures in this product are awesome good.
