I don't have any missing items from the bundle. They were all bought separately and the morph wasn't included with any of them.

The morphs (at least some of them) and some skins were only available with the Pro Bundle and there is no other way to get them.

Not for me...I already own over half the stuff in the bundle. Until they sell the stuff separate, I'll pass. They should, since it seems they're fond of doing that these days (selling items separately).

WendyLuvsCatz

depends how low it might go you may decide since you get textures no longer in the store

was around $18 one point

I am not PC+ so it may even be less one day

Well, here's Cadichon and Horse 2 with the donkey morph. See if you can guess which is which.

tsroemi

The ears sure look weird, much too thin and pointy, and unfortunately not fleecy-woolly either. Ah well, that can be fixed I guess. The eyes are real beautiful, very donkey-like.

Also: the suitcaes have modern handes, making them unsuitable for medieval/fantasy renders. So, to summarize: a perfect product for people who are willing to pay for Daz Horse 2 + DAZ Horse 2 Pro Bundle and wish to render a donkey carrying suitcases (in contemporary settings only).

 

OK.

Richard Haseltine

A lot of people will already have the horse bundle.

I admit the suitcases and pack-saddle are my major hesitation, at first glance I was hoping for a more generic load.

I thought the same. I would have prefered one carrying boxes typically used for transporting goods. That way the saddle pack could be used as part of a merchant's baggage train (for horses or mules). Right now it is only suitable for carrying the suitcases of rich foreign tourists.

I understand people's disappointment needing the pro bundle, but it has been sold mega cheap on occassion (it is a very old bundle). Most bundles are a sum of its parts, this is one of the rare few that is a lot more, and the extra skins and morphs make the horse much more flexible, so it really should be wishlisted by anyone that uses horses in renders.

I would imagine most luggage moved around rough terrian these days is transported in the back of a jeep rather than on a mule, although if treking over mountains even a jeep would struggle with that (though would you take a suitcase on a mountain trek?). So if you can't use these items for pre-mechanised times, one wonders in what circumstances they would be needed.

I would imagine most luggage moved around rough terrian these days is transported in the back of a jeep rather than on a mule

That assumes there's a road/passage large enough for the jeep. 

For example, my grandmother's family is from a small village in the mountains in Corsica. There's a main road large enough for cars to reach the village, but once you're there you need to leave your car and walk through narrow alleys to reach your house. When my father was a child in the 50s-60s there were donkeys like Cadichon to carry luggage and other stuff through the village.

What do people do these days, use these big carrier bicycles maybe?

Don't know about Corsica, but in Castelbuono on Sicily the local garbage removal transport happens by donkeys

So at least in rural mountainous regions of southern Europe I would expect the donkey to outnumber ATVs as transport vehicle bigly (as a former US president would say). Cheaper to get and to maintenance, more flexible in about any terrain (even there where ATVs can't go, as "ALL terrain vehicle" really means "Well, quite a lot of terrain, but no too steep climbs and no woods with trees standing too close together, please..") and in the end, one can even make some tasty sausages out of them when they are too old to carry stuff around anymore.

Deepsea

I'm from Corsica. Cadichon lives here.

The Design Luggage are French inspired from Louis Vuitton and E Goyard 1850-1920.

I did buy Cadichon last night, but it would be good to have an add-on with more traditonal/generic/lo-tech loads too.

I agree; maybe also include a riding saddle and poses.

Yes, I've seen cargo bikes or regular bicycles with a cart add-on for example.

I see, cool! Although there must be some heavy pedalling involved, I imagine - all those steep, steep lanes. - How fun to hear also that Deepsea is from Corsica as well! I never imagined that, going by the avatar I thought of somewhere in Asia. Goes to show, never assume. ;-)

Still almost 60 bucks? No thanks. LOL The ONLY thing more I want from the bundle are the morphs and extra textures.

How did you check the price?

The reduced price can only be seen on the cart. 60 bucks sounds a lot if one already has all the included products.

That was the price in the cart. And I own 6 of the things in the pro bundle.

I own everything in the bundle and they still want $23.94.

Considering the number of things one would have to put in a ticket to get things working properly here, the easier solution is not buying stuff...
