Early Access to Jacqueline 8.1?

13

Comments

  • Not to be too negative, but I'm sure a very similar look could be achieved mixing only a few G8 and G8.1 characters on Vic 8.1 base. Brooke 8.1 is much more useful because making someone like her would take many more morphs used together to the worse effect. 8.1 PBR skin shader can be used on any G8 skin.

     It's a nice looking model but I already have Rayia and Mousso models doing exactly the same thing and they're all usable with the new shiny base and shaders.

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

    Everything about this render is gorgeous.  What is she wearing?  Lovely

    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 :)

    I think she’s much prettier than V8.1 but she does look pretty much like a Mousso girl and those come with HD. As I said in another thread, you can get 4 Mousso girls on sale for less than the price of this one at $22 and the deal on the bundle is awful. If this had been an old pro bundle style deal, I definitely would have gotten it, but this is just too low on content, too high in price with no decent freebie perks. $5.00 off old content I’ve picked through ages ago doesn’t cut it.

    That swimsuit is called "One Piece Bikini with Anklet" by fefecoolyellow... it's super lovely.

    here is a quick one with Jacqueline, and she insisted that she's not a Hippie

    Thanks blush

    The render is technically quite simple... HDRI with the illusion of DoF, the promenade set, the car, Jacqueline, and the camera (with an additional ghost light from the camera (a very simple ghost light that I made from a plane primitive). I tried to keep it simple, anyway.

    As noted, the swimsuit is from the other store... One Piece Bikini.

    I just have to think of a way to fit the contest theme. (I also want to avoid the hippie thing.)

    Well, this second bundle is more what I want in terms of outfits & whatever.

    I can't say I have a lot of use for hippie/Boho, although I have a bit of that already.

    Sci fi/fantasy is more of what I'm doing right now, so this second bundle fits my interest.

    EDIT: In my cart at $30.60 due to the SP orange banner plus another banner for owning a Victoria 8.1 bundle.

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

     

    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...

    May I ask what outfit this is?

    Shirt: OOT's Flowy Sheer top for G3F plus Sveva's Boho Chic textures (the other store).

    Pants: Karth's Sport Set 1 for G8F (the other store).

    Scarf: Rockabilly Outfit (from this store).

  • WonderlandWonderland Posts: 7,040

    This is a sci-fi bundle? Could they cover up any MORE skin? Ugh. I guess the anti-skimpwear people are winning. This almost feels like politics. I’m pro skin lol. 

  • Some of the Daz PAs are good at being sneaky with their revealing outfits even if the overall outfit has the shoulders and the b00bz all covered up.

    That Betty Bot suit is a real winner in this new bundle. (I bet it would be good skimpy wear if you ditch the Body Suit part.)

    Of course, I mostly go to the other store for outfits with cleavage or side boob or whatever because it's usually not going to happen here.

    Thank you!
    3 of 4 in my library. Always forget about those quality OoT clothing back from the G3F days. So in my case she has to go without pants then ;-)

    I would agree with you --I write erotic romance. But Facebook will not let you advertise images with cleavage or side boob. This includes bare-chested men. That's right--romance novel covers for small presses are not allowed to advertise books with bare chested men, because the FB algorithm thinks they are naked women. (!!) In fact, this program is so dumb, it once rejected an image of a man in a tux holding a frog because it thought the frog's butt was cleavage.

    So there are a lot of great outfits, men's and women's, that I have to turn down because they show too much bare skin. I look for cross straps and paint in the right place, because that confuses the prude computer.

    The image of the girl in pink with the car? Yeah, that wouldn't fly at all. And yes, you see stuff much more daring on TV, and no, it makes NO sense, but you can't argue with the FB Nazis.

    THIS Bundle is MUCH more to my liking. I really like the Betty Bot outfit.I guess Daz doesn't love me anymore because I got NO Banner!

    I think she's gorgeous, but not wild about the bundles. Too much $$$ for too little content. The deals just aren't that good. Maybe I'm spoiled, but I miss the Pro Bundles. I'll wishlist this for now.

  • MelissaGTMelissaGT Posts: 2,611

    I like the character - dislike both bundles.

    One more image, then back to deciding about the bundle...

    It might have even been an advantage in medieval times as well, as the opponent would've been stunned by the mere sight of the valley cheeky

    I like the today's bundle. My orange banner lowered the price to USD 40, which is a lot, but thanks to the gift cards e-mail, it was not that much of an issue.

    Three outfits without high heels, and not of the skimpy kind, of which I have a plethora of outfits already. One of the outfits is pretty useful for Steampunk renders, yay! Another a very good looking medieval full plate armour set. Yay! The last one I do not see an immediate purpose for in my renders, but I may be able to kitbash something from it.

    A second female character, the looks of which I like a lot. I really like Sia's face, plus she has an interesting body too. I would love to see her maybe 5-10 cm shorter, but she is still has a distinctivem appealing look, so I am still quite happy.

    The hair looks good too.

    The pose pack is unfortunately only full body poses, but some will be useful.

    I got the textures for Betty Bot 6000 and the HD add-on for Jacqueline, and some additional stuff with a very nice discount.

    Has there been an email about gift cards? Must have missed it.

  • There seems to have been one but only to folks who did not redeem older gift cards.

    Betty Bot, minus the Body suit (and a few other pieces also left off).

    (Not Jacqueline.)

    The skirt is a little weird... like any metal/armor piece that moves when you move the joints, so it might be better if I parented it instead. Same goes for the neck piece/choker.

    I just really like the Betty Bot outfit, and I wanted to show that it could go a little more skimpy than the promo shots show. It's good Retro Sci Fi.

    EDIT1: Also... the figure is a mix of things, including 3d Universe's Toon Gen 4, Lady Littlefox's Star 2.0 for G3F (transferred to Genesis 8.1 here), and Adiene & Jessaii's Niesha for G8F... The hardest part of playing with Jacqueline 8.1 is not morphing her face to fit my current Toon mood.

    EDIT2: I think the belly button morph is actually from Angel-Wings, except I'm not sure it's available right now with her figures? (I probably picked up the dial from the other store, and her products are not available at that site.)

  • I dig all the armors and the plate harness and the heavy sci-fi one are going to end converted to G8M in no time. Still no use for Jacqy 8.1, though.

    I honestly didn't notice anything weird about the skirt until you pointed it out, and even then it doesn't detract at all and I think totally works. But I'm in a similar boat myself right now. I'm doing an animated scene where a statue comes to life and fights the hero, but I don't want the clothes to move exactly like clothes, I want it to be stiffer like the stone that it is. Obviously I want it to move but you know what I mean. That's not a bad idea to just parent it, I might give that a whirl. 

    And I love seeing toon-styled created characters. I would love to see more!

    So cool @The Blurst of Times! 

    How on earth did you transfer Lady Littlefox's Star 2.0 for G3F to G8.1 ??? I really need to figure out that workflow!
    There's so many older shapes that I want to use with the newer mesh...

    For my own personal art, I really enjoy making stylized characters too... dial spinning FTW!

    No scripts, all done by hand via a tutorial on this very forum. Bethany 7 in Genesis 8.1? Star 2.0? All the same process... of course, replacing G8F with G8.1F for the new mesh/facial rig/etc.
