Good stuff today

Wow, lots of good looking fantasy products and the G9 morphs at last. An update worth waiting for.   :)   Just please get a G9 Powerpose done soon, it's more important than many might think.

    The Iron Lady Outfit absolutely whips. I hope we end up with more stuff like this for G9.

    Yeah, unfortunately most of it is female stuff, but I do need some for the new figure, I guess ;). Glad to get those head and body morphs. A couple of the dresses are nice. I like the one by fefecoolyellow a lot ;). Nice expressions by Quixotry too. Not buying until tomorrow though just to let everything settle. LOL.

    I should REALLY add that I hope male stuff coming out in the future is as nice as these dresses. I'd pay a little more for really nice clothes. Just don't wanna see any 3D tubes with no fly, no seams, no details or pants that look like second skin ;). Nothing looks worse on a guy than super skinny jeans and I don't regret saying it (they don't look all that great on the ladies either for that matter). LMAO laugh

    Absolutely love the V9 mega bundle, and I'm glad the basic morph/expression bundle is out as well.

  • There was a time when I was playing medieval fantasy RPG's that I would have loved all this stuff for making avatars for my characters or illustrations of them. I still really like the genre. I am impressed. smiley

    Today's bundles aren't for me, but they look really nice. smiley

    Yeah, but the price is just too steep, to me of course.
  • Iron Lady is unisex(!). The last time there was anything looking like a usable hauberk it was G3 and female.

    The bundles are very pretty but I'm spent out after The V9 Intro Bundle, G9 Essentials Expansion, Leon the Lion & the G9 Body, Face, & Expression morphs were purchased today. It's been over a year since I spent that much in a week I think. The rest has to go to Michael 9. I'm glad I got the 10% Gift Card discount yesterday.

    I purchased the morphs bundle and I wonder if the morphs are HD or not, because they look better than Genesis 8 ones and the new ones are very cool :)

    I love a couple of the outfits and I'm a sucker for 3DSugar poses. There are some items that don't seem up to par for what those particular PA's put out...

    • Mega Terrain: Highlands - Kindred Arts - I'm a big KA fan but this is not up to snuff. This is also re-inventing an already well-done wheel (https://www.daz3d.com/highlands)
    • The Castle Ruin - Polish - I'm a fan of Polish but this one is also not up to snuff when compared to the PA's normal level of quality and detail

    Given I don't really want the two above products, and I'm not feeling the OOT hair...I might be better off buying what I want a la' carte.

    It would be nice if I could actually download the morphs. I can download my entire order except for the Genesis 9 Essential Shapes Bundle. Super.

    Edit: never mind. Had to force down load with DIM by manually entering the SKU numbers.

    The morphs are not HD, but G9 has a higher base mesh density, which allows for more detailed sculpting.

    Yeah, I can only afford the morph/expression bundle now (and it's the most necessary purchase for G9 anyway), so I wishlisted the medieval stuff. I can't really use G9 until more of our familiar morph sets are released and we get a lot more textures, but most of us are used to that by now.

    I took a cursory glance at all the individial morphs and I've got to say thanks Daz for all the detailed morphs...especially for cheeks, cheekbones and brows. They look very well done. :)

  • I noticed this morning after downloading the updates to the essentials, in addition to the new morphs available, that the basic masculine shorts had changed.  Before the updates they had a simple morph built into them for "masculinity~~Cough cough".  After the updates that built in morph is no longer in the clothing.......why?  It was simple, tastefully done and not offensive in the least.

    I resisted other things the past few days, wishlisting. I knew I wanted the shapes when they came out. I also save my DAZ+ coupon just for this.

    My price for the shapes was $23.60.

    The Vicoria 9 Mega Bundle, it has been a long time since I could say I loved everything in a bundle but this time, oh yeah. I have been binge reading a 13th C Welsh series and while the outfits aren't exact, they are a lot better than we have had. And there is one female character always putting on pants to shoot the Welsh bows. Got the bundle down to $76.09. Thank you everyone who worked on the bundle and the shape packages.

    Added the Iray update for Sci-Fi Outpost and Props at $2.79 and the freebie car. Still have some money in store credit.

    I am happy.

    It's nice to see the morph packages. Not much interest for me for anything else, though maybe the hair.

    Hmm. Isn't the coupon worth $6 so shouldn't it be $21.60 if you own the starter essentials expansion already? My cart shows $27.79 as I already own the essentials and $37.72 on the product page. Actually I'm not even sure how they calculate "for the price of unowned items" with the discount applied considering I paid $12,24 for the former character essentials.

    Decisions, decisions, decisions - good stuff, but limited funds.

    Yes, an exceptionally nice selection today!

    Now I'm going to be parked at SickleYield and Riversoft Arts doorstep waiting for the G9 to G8 clothing conversion package. Or do these new fantasy outfits come with ay kind of out-of-the-box back-compatibility?

    An updated Wear Them All would work nicely too.

    In the freebie's section there's a tutorial on how to make a G9 clone for G8 that might help you out :).

    Overall I really like the Iron Lady outfit but I'm not fond of the rigging for the leather skirt - it conforms instead of being d-force.  For me, that means a double render sometimes - one with the skirt following the legs and another with the legs posed then hidden to make the skirt do what I want then Photoshop the two together.  Still, it looks great on G9M.

    You should be able to add a dForce modifier to it. I add dForce to stuff all the time.

    all the new stuff looks absolutely wonderful and the sort of things I will buy if Australia ever gets out of this hole we are in

    this is the sort of content I wanted, practical believable fantasy clothing with flat shoes yes

    right now I am facing the reality that running Stable Diffusion on my PC the for the last couple of months and my resulting electricity bill increase would have easily covered the Victorial 9 Megabundle AND a DAZ+ membership blush

    I am not short of money and certainly could buy both but instilling some hard budget rules on myself for at least the next quarter until the next bill comes

    (I did a lot of full on day/night GPU running after the meter was read and before the bill arrived)

    I am as bad as a Cryptominer and judging myself pretty harshly for this and have a drive full of images I cannot claim authorship for in any way cheeky

     (and I rendered hour long videos FFS, doing that in DAZ would take weeks, machine learning renders very fast and I include interpolation and upscaling in that)

    I am now trying to use those images in Gimp, Hitfilm and other editing software to create something of my own instead of producing more of them on my PC, I still use various free online options to do a handful each day

    Agreed!  I love the boots!  Much easier to run in or out of battle with those.
