  • Once more... nothing real fancy, straightforward setup.

    Aaaand another "no buy" that makes me glad to have ignored that "special offer to buy five figures blindly with no option to get your money back".

     

    Yeah. Agreed. I kind of like the character, but have no thought or plan to do any hippie or 60s renders.

    Vary nice - she does have a sort of Sharon Tate vibe going on - and that is a huge compliment, especially for a character being promoted as 60's chic.

    Well, the bundle is out. The character is nice. I like her but not into the hippie thing.

    I don't know if she's a fed trying to infiltrate the hippie movement, but if she is maybe some spy gear (microphone in flowers, cameras) would be in order.

    I REALLY like the lunch counter. That might have to go in my cart!

    Overall, decent effort, but the bundle is a no go.

    I didn't get a banner again, which really makes passing an easy decision.

    seems to be the same artist who made brooke

    This is Margot Robbie in-character portraying Sharon tate for 'Once Upon A Time In Hollywood'...

    That outfit looks a bit familiar to something... umm... hehehe

    An iconic style sensation in the 60's, Tate appeared in the Bond-style spy spoof 'The Wrecking Crew' in 1968 and showed the world she could have been a great comedic actress as well as the serious roles she played.

    Tragically, she never got the chance to have a long and extensive career, but hey, don't want to talk morbid stuff here... I'll just say Jaqueline 8.1 looks mighty fine.

    OK, FINALLY a DazO I like!  I REALLY like her, I think my favorite DazO since V7 but is she really any different from a Mousso girl? Is she a Mousso girl? Mousso girls usually come with their own HD though, Have to see how the bundle prices out with the freebies and if there are any freebies I even want since I already own so much older stuff, but I know I’ll get her eventually if not now. Guess I’m no longer in the orange banner club since the season pass thing happened.  This is definitely my favorite of all DazO G8/8.1s though. Just have to see if it’s financially worth it. The bundle looks cool, but haven’t really checked it out in detail. All in all, this definitely fits my style.

    I had a banner offering a silver pass, but hardly tempting. I might well have bought this on the old system, but for now I will look elsewhere. This looks better, perhaps. But not very exciting.

    Nice, first Daz character I've seen in months that I might buy, really like that outfit as well, only 30% discount though so looks like I'll have to pass, no job (thanks to covid), no money, no Daz goodies for me. sad

    Well I just really looked at the deal and it’s awful! $58 for no extra characters, just one hair, two outfits, a set I don’t need and two poses that look exactly like every other poses I have and only $5,00 off each category? Are they kidding? Into wishlist it goes until on major sale!

    I would have gone for the bundle if the clothes would not been that horrible. One is another paper-thin piece of casual clothing with  no hems at all. The other is not that much better. The hair is nice, though. And the diner as well.

    same for me. no loyality discount. would have bought the bundle for $37.50 but not for 58.

    but I'm thankfully to DAZ, with the new core figure system (higher prices, worse deals (thinking of $100 of daz free items like in the past) and loyality discount is replaced by the session pass) I save lots of money.

    I did receive an orange banner today, but only to tell me that I am a valued customer and would get the silver season pass for a great discount. easy pass for me. I did not go for the platinum, I did not go for the gold. And the discount was just not that great.

    Another white twenty-something. Unsympathetic face. Pretty legs. That''s my impression.

    So... she's a hippy?

    Or something else?

    I wonder what the "Jacqueline 8.1 Undercover Retro Bundle" will be... a freedom-loving undercover agent of the 60's?

    'Undercover' is an extremely practical theme: since the 'undercover' agent works without a uniform, he/she can wear what any other contemporary wears. wink

    Same... Neither her features not her textures make her stand out amongst hundreds of similar characters => Not worth the disk space and increase in load times. 

  • Phew, DAZ is making it harder. Also got that loyalty offer to get silver for the plat price without the freebies. Well I would get that only for the bundle discounts but with those base prices it's tough. To make good use it would still be $150 + approx 5 times at least $70 for both bundles. So $500 all in all. Need a gift card sale first to consider getting on board.

    Apart from that what bikini is Jacqui wearing? Any ideas?

  • mwokeemwokee Posts: 1,275
    Seven products in the bundle, two are poses and one is a diner. A diner? Generic hair and hippie outfit are redundant to other products. Not much substance or value here. Nice character but still, another pretty white girl. Daz continues to recycle what's already been done.

    Jacqueline is nice, but only with the HD imo.  All the base characters promos show her with HD, which is dirty pool.

    The Dekogon Diner is nice, although the bench cushions are missing brass buttons and are too puffy.  I've eaten and lived drama there. 

    The Bunny Dreams outfit styling is nice, but only the handbag looks to be of good quality.

    The Aycroft outfit is mostly pretty good looking, but the Wallflower Jeanz from Rendo beat the pants off the pants.

     

    Might have bought the bundle if the HD Add-on gave a discount like they used to, but it doesn't, so I'll pick up the occasional bit on sale.

    Had to half the reflection on this

    And I've got no idea what the hell is happening with that zip.

    100% this. Generic tall pretty skinny white girl. At least Brooke looked like a realistic middle-aged woman.

    Sometimes when they make the zippers rigid like that, there are dials to move it back in place...


    One more quick & simple render with Jacqueline...

    So another 70's pretty European White girl.  She's very nice. 

    It would be good though to get a male.

    She doesn't have to be white...

  • I may catch some flack but, I really don't see anything unique with this firgure that hasn't been seen in other G8F characters. Bascially, I, for one, can't detect the difference between G8 and G8.1.

  • davesodaveso Posts: 7,169

    i agree ... much more of the same.  The main thing i look for now are interesting skin textures. Fair skinned at DAZ 95% of the time. no blemishes, smooth. That was at least where Brooke differed, but in her case the bump needed to be reduced by 500%. 

  • Kaleb242Kaleb242 Posts: 344

    Jacqueline 8.1 does have skin blemishes, but they're just very subtle and more realistic (especially when compared to Brooke, which has over-exaggerated facial blemishes)...

    She´s pretty and she looks well made, but not particularly distinctive. I can easily think of several characters just like her, such as V8.1, Aurore, or Sonja. Easy pass for me, but good for those who like this sort of thing. God knows I can´t stop buying square jawed hunks that don´t look all that different from one another :)
