Welp, she ended up in my cart. Decent price on the mega bundle and there are a lot of useful clothing sets in there. Also, she's a real lady.

I like her looks a lot. And I've picked up enough new releases in the past week or so for the punch card discount to kick in very nicely. Not really thinking of the bundle, though. But there are a couple of things in it that I think I'd use, so will probbly cherry-pick those. Will give it a bit of consideration, however.
I ended up biting on the bundle. There were just enough items in it to make springing for the whole a better deal than buying seperately.
But *what* is it with the ugly shoes? I swear the only shoes in the bundle that are fit for human feet are the boots with the Mrs Klaus robe.
The RiverSoft Art string lights set looks really useful and it's actually a dollar cheaper for me to buy that and the bundle than it is to buy the bundle alone, which is cool. I was just thinking I wished I could swap it in place of the London set (it's nice, just probably not something I'll have a lot of use for).
Ahahaha I didn't catch Martha, although looking at her again I can kinda see it. But she looks kind of like a vyktohria sculpt to me maybe? I think it's the face proportions.
I like pretty much everyhing in the bundle and Minerva looks great, insta buy at that price.
Looks like Paulina Porizkova

She's a very nice character!
(I will say though, despite the increase in details, overall she doesn't look much more photo-realistic than Ellithia 8 or Ophelia 7 to me.)
Michelle Pfeifer look alike for me. Very great
Yeah, this is a going to be a buy for me. Her skin texture is really beautiful. It looks like she has vellus hair painted on the head texture from the main image. Can anyone who's purchased confirm? Or has vellus hair for G9 been released, and I've just missed it?
She is lovely.
Only she has the same problem with the Makeup options when you want to apply the Apply All options.
It looks weird.
One has to go to texture shaded preview and apply it, then it works.
Other than that, glad I bought the Mega bundle for a super price.
The skin texture, as displayed in the promos at least, looks like she's made out of the same stuff Data is (as seen when the borg drill into his head in... First Contact I think?).
We must be looking at different promos because the ones I saw on her main page look great to me.
I may have exaggerated a little - promos 16-20 were the ones I was referring to. The main one is pretty good - the rest are somewhere in between. I'd be interested to see customer renders to make sure it's just the promo lighting that is to blame.
As an being an old dude she's a hottie. This could push me towards G9 however, there still isn't enough content out for G9 in clothing for me to jump gravitate to the figure yet.
I like her. Her features look like Martha Stewart. Her clothing though doesn't look good to me.
I will probably pass. I'm trying to avoid adding too many morphs to may g9 runtime, but the base figure looks nice.
It doesn't matter about the unified base. It's still likely to be an endless flood of female-oriented everything.
+1
This is the skin texture without makeup and on another character. I de-aged her a bit by not using her normal map and HD at full strength. Seems like it will be pretty versatile, so I'm happy with it.
Haha...I thought she looked like old Vicky 9 :P. I like her tho.
Love her look. I can stop using Michael 9 HD details for aging female characters.
her body does not match face/ older looking face, body of 30 year old.
You would hate California.... Lunchtime in a shopping distrinct in Santa Barbara or Marin County, you would se a bunch of older women with personal trainer toned bodies.
ah. and all those skin products, massages, on and on. OK.
Putting aside skin folds and creases or lack of muscle play under the skin (which in Daz usually is achieved with extra producs like skin fold morphs/bend enhancers), the figure's body is not looking any more or less aged than Porizkova's bikini photos.
Thanks to the multiple discounts, the Mega Bundle is carting at $32.10. I'd gotten it down to $25+, but that must've been a glitch which they've fixed. I think I'll wait to see what happens later. Nice skin, believable morph, handsome geezer. Name choice is fitting for our day.
Love the bundle and Minerva - thanks for the great deal, Daz!
Did you possibly take out another new item? Put the texture pack for the outfit in, it should take it back down?
@AZDigitalArtist Many thanks and kind salutations! I don't want the texture pack, but I added it, and the Bundle went down to 25+. I added the hair texture add-on, and both texture packs halved in price (making two roughly the same price as one). I'll keep trying until I can get something I want. I only wanted 5 items out of the bundle, but the bundle was cheaper than the five together. Thanks again!
And fresh air, eating healthy food, affluence in general....
