    The Measure Metrics are stated right on the info page for the base (toward the bottom). She's on the shorter end of the scale for a DAZ figure. 5'7". But she's *really* thin; 29.8"/22.3"/33.2". Don't know how this compares to Gisselle, since they didn't include the Measure Metrics when she was released. Gisselle looks about the same degree of thin, but I think she's taller.

    Thank you, I was browsing the page with my iFlaw-ne that's maybe why it was not showing up
    :smirk:

    I do not have Giselle either, nor the metrics but when she came out her description gave me the impression she like that...
    but I had found her measurements on a japanese website by googling
    170.5cm / B 74cm / W 52cm / H 77cm

    short for me is in the range of 150/160 m
    :)

    Thank you!!

    Ah. So not taller, but even thinner. Okay. They'd both look at home in a dance troupe anyway.

    Well "short" is relative. I think the shortest any hypothetically adult DAZ figure DAZ has currently is Belle at 5'4", and she's a teen who one might suppose hasn't quite got her full growth. Keiko, also teenish is 5'4.8". Callie is 5'5", Mei Lin is 5'5". I don't think any DAZ figure is shorter than that.

    Well, all in all I can scale her down: I was looking for a "small people" fantasy racial type (halfling, if you are familiar with D&D) ... hoping Ninive gets a brother soon
    :/

    I was about to buy the Pro Bundle, but got stuck since for some reason the 40% discount is not showing up in my basket
    :O
    I will wait for my helpdesk ticket to be resolved before going further
    :/

    My next item will have both iray and 3delight mats and renders, eta June or July. I love Iray now :)

    Great to hear this - I love your hairs. One of the reasons I know about converting them to Iray is because they look so great once converted and adjusted. They are worth the bit of extra effort to use them in Iray, and I keep using them :)
    It'll be great to have your iray mats included.

    I'm still on the fence about that head though. But what hair set is used in the FWSA character promo? The one braid hair piece?

    Pretty sure thats the Unicorn Princess hair by Valea

    At least her skin is so token and uninteresting

    Depends how you define 'uninteresting'. One could say the same for virtually every single official character. If you meant wanting something particularly exotic-looking, then there is this:

    http://www.daz3d.com/lady-of-the-lake-texture-for-ninive-6

    That's not what I meant, but I do incidentally like that texture set. Well I assume I might like it, they don't really have any worthwhile promos for it. Still, if that was her default skin, I would be quite content :D

    Xenomorphine said:

    (really, this still wasn't the time for a freckled character?)

    If you want that effect (for any female character), then just get this:

    http://www.daz3d.com/extreme-closeup-freckles-for-genesis-2-female-s

    I already have this, but I am not overly keen on it. And while I have zero confidence in DAZ when it comes to setting up iray materials, I do sort of like what they have done with some of their skins in 3Delight so far. I certainly would like to see their attempt at a freckled skin.


    They're good as an option, but you don't necessarily want them for a default look.

    No, you don't 'necessarily' want them for a default look. But after - what, 14 female characters? - most of which come with unblemished pale skin and I can't even count how many PA characters with the same unblemished pale skin, I think we can deviate from the same default look every once in a while. Especially if the character isn't all that original in the first place.

    I've personally got an issue with characters which come out with obvious birth marks and such. Anything which adds to a lack of symmetry means it's impossible to use the same skin on another character in the same scene, which pretty much eliminates 50% of the potential uses I have for any character I purchase (and makes it much less likely that I'd buy it).

    Well if you need skins which you can't tell apart, I think DAZ already has you covered pretty well.

    I mean, I don't hate Ninive all that much, but it's getting harder and harder for me to justify buying the exact same skin with usually only very slightly different morphs over and over again. I think this is the first time I might purchase a Pro Bundle just for the content EXCEPT the new DAZ figure.

    Funny enough, I don't want the Ninive figure, but thinking of taking the pro bundle for everything else, particularly with the current 70% sale attached to it. (I really really dislike unique UV sets)

    DAZ is a business entity not an artist. Settings are 90% + percent of the time created by someone not on staff (yes even for DO's) and as far as I have been able to tell the set up on a primary character has been done by a fair variety of people. So.. saying you don't have faith in DAZ to do iray settings is akin to saying "I don't think that PA's will be able to do Iray settings". I find that astonishingly unlikely.

    But after - what, 14 female characters? - most of which come with unblemished pale skin and I can’t even count how many PA characters with the same unblemished pale skin, I think we can deviate from the same default look every once in a while. Especially if the character isn’t all that original in the first place.

    So what alternate ethnicity would you have anticipated being included with a character that is loosely based on British mythos? What flaws would you expect her to have? How do you think she should have deviated from how the lady of the lake has traditionally been portrayed in art? Would "water nymph with bad skin" really be a big seller?

    I think that some people have trouble grasping how big collaboration projects work. Basically it boils down to having a starting point and a concept that people use as their jumping off point. This is not exclusive to DAZ mind you and it wouldn't necessarily involve a character. Though, if you look around the industry it is by far the easiest thing to center on and have people build a variety products around. In the past non figure based collaborative projects have not had the best track record for success. It doesn't always have to be super complex either. It could be a figure as the core and then "pinup" or "woman who works" as the concept or even the figure creators statement about who they see the figure as. The concept though is important so that the final group of products has some sort of cohesion when the work of potentially dozens of artists is viewed together.

    Ninive 6 is cute. Wish I could afford to buy the pro bundle. I have added the bundle to my wishlist.

    I've been wanting to get the Michael 6 pro bundle for a while. Getting that at 70% off with the Ninive pro bundle is a great deal... just need my budget to come in before the sale ends. Fingers crossed.

    I'm liking Ninive so far, Here's what I got after a few morph tweaks and applying the Domina Skin (with RedSpec).

    Rendered in OctaneRender (Poser)

    Was also trying to see how many of the pro bundle items I could cram into one image in some way. lol

    Edit: Adjusted her gaze more towards the camera. Looks better I think.

    Nice render... now I recognize her. Vulcan! She might be Dr Spock's forgotten daughter. So she is part human at least.

    Since he was a pediatrician, I would hope Dr. Spock didn't forget about any of his children. http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Benjamin_Spock
    Mr. Spock, on the other hand, did have a son in the novel Yesterday's Son. http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yesterday's_Son Yeah, I'm probably nit-picking, but as far as I know, the Spock on the Enterprise was never a doctor. The above render could be a Vulcan, though. Very nice.

    I'm a little confused... why are several of the skins 'for Ninive 6' using G2F base UV, rather than Ninive 6 UV?

    I mean, I think that's a good thing, but in what way are they 'for Ninive 6'?

    Probably because they use her shape in some way.

    I fail to understand why Ninive 6 cost so much more than any other characters based off of G2F. I fail to see anything remotely interesting about this character, with just the purchase of the character alone it's $22.00, but why? It doesn't look remotely as interesting as, let's say any of Raiya's characters. Lately DAZ characters are getting more and more expensive, but the quality is not deserving of the price. Anyway, just my 2 cents.

  • Oso3DOso3D Posts: 15,046
    edited December 1969

    The way I look at it, the pro pack is $57, and has two hair styles, two skins that are usable on all G2F Base, a bunch of poses, and four different outfits.

    Even though I'm not hugely interested in Ninive, it might be worth it, for me, just for all the other stuff.

    Which reminds me... can the Ninive use other UV sets?

    The Pro Bundle was an insta-purchase for me! I like her -- not only is she lovely out of the box, but the Nimue hair is stunning. I can't tell anyone else what their use-case scenario is (or should be!) but I think this figure will give me a ton of flexibility in how I can use her. She can pass for an elven figure quite easily, and yet, with a little bit of tweaking, she could easily pass as a petite human female also. I love that flexibility. Lately I've been doing predominantly fantasy renders, and at least in the fantasy literature I read, elves are depicted as being quite a bit thinner, lighter boned, narrower, etc than humans, and Ninive and her little sister Giselle fit the bill quite nicely. Having choices is a good thing, and Daz continues to expand my options. Great work!

    Yes, you can use any skin you have the UVs for on her morph... and, separately, since you'll get Ninive's UVs with her, you can use her default skin with any G2F character you choose... so that's 3 skins usable on all G2F characters.

    Ooooh, it hadn't sunk in that you could then have ninive on others. Interesting.

  • JOdelJOdel Posts: 6,288

    Yeah. That's the main reason to always consider picking up the base. Installing the base gives you access to the UV set and the base's official texture.

    The UV set isn't that big an issue, since most vendors use the G2 UV, or the M6 or V6 UV for their textures for any character, but some of the individual character bases are really nice, and you need the UV set to use them on anything. And once you have that UV set you can use it on anything (with varying results. Some extreme morphs may be sub-optimal, but most humans can swap skins without that big a problem).
