"Oh What A Shame" turned to "Deep Joy"

Many, many years ago I hummed and hawed about getting a little high fantasy bridge model.This was in V3/M3 days. My wife and I were close to broke, and cash was very tight. In the end I decided not to get it, but always remembered it. Then 2 years ago on my return to DS, I looked for it, but could never find it. So imagine my pleasure to see it shown in the clearance sale in a bundle. Joy of joys. Here it is:- https://www.daz3d.com/high-fantasy-scenes-props-bundle.
Only, only, the bundle has been eviscerated and the bridge isn't part of it any more. Oh what a shame.
Regards,
Richard
ETA, I took a flyer, risked £1.50 and bought it anyway.The bundle DOES still have the bridge in it. I am so, so pleased. Ridiculous, really, but it stuck in my mind for a decade and a half, and now I can play with it.

It is funny... I have that entire set and all the accesory characters! I do feel your pain. A long time ago, I was purely a Poser user and kept procrastinating about buying a set from Shimazu for V4 male. A few years ago, I looked to see if I could buy the set and Daz3d has discontinued selling it. After a little research I contacted Shimazu who would sell me the set but lost it in a hard disk crash! I have often toyed with the idea of asking Daz3d Support if they could return a set the creator but... that is unlikely.
Should look really great with updated shaders :D
Have fun!

I got that bundle for free many years ago along with such treasures as the morphing skull for joining the Platinum Club
Order Date: 2010-10-26
There have been times where I bought a bundle where one of the included products had been discontinued earlier... but the bundle still had the discontinued item in it upon being installed onto my machine. Its possible that bridge is still in there, but I haven't actually drilled down to where that product is in my Runtime to find out.
edit: Actually, it appears the bridge is actually in the installer zip for the bundle, since I see objects named Bridge-Grass.obj and Bridge-Leaves.obj and so on in a subdir of Geometries, but I don't remember how long ago it was that I bought the thing, so maybe they hadn't discontinued that bridge yet as a separate product. The date-stamp on the zip in my InstallManager Downloads dir is March 25 of this year tho, so apparently I got it not that long ago.
The bridge is in the bundle still. It's a little strange. The bridge itself is a character, while the tree, grass & stones are props. Anyway, did a little render with it this morning, in an UltraScenery Harpwood scene. Couldn't be happier.

I'm guessing the bridge must have movable, pose-able parts or something, if its located with "the characters," since the Poser way of placing things was to put anything with movable parts (such as a plant with a bendy stem) in next to people and animals, while placing purely-static-and-non-bendable things into Props. That always throws me off the scent when looking for certain objects, because I keep forgetting that "the characters" in Poser is NOT limited to "people and animals" like the paradigm has been for Daz things.
A beautiful picture! I am very happy for you. I have also experienced such situations; it's great to suddenly find long desired things.
Thanks also for this tip; I bought this little gem right away!
Old versions of Poser had a 'feature' that meant you needed a figure/character in a scene before you could apply material presets to anything in the scene, can't remember the details as whilst I have played with Poser 4-9 I've always preferred Daz Studio.
Funny enough, I have a Poser 5 box still on the bookshelf behind my rig and the sticker on it says "Poser 5 Upgrade Win English"... I remember getting Poser 4 on the cover CD of some magazine.
