    I like her, but everything else in the pro bundle is  "I can wait for it to be one sale, like SERIOUS sale!"  I was able to get the pro bundle down to $48.48 by using my "08_23DAZPLUS" coupon and 3 available tokens.  I have three other new side items in the cart as well.  I will pull the trigger later this evening after researching all the side deals available.

    This promo picture alone was the decider for me!

    My first thoughts were that she looked a bit like Ana De Armas in that picture when I saw it.

    I was getting a little (just enough) Olga Kurylenko vibes from that particular image.

    Didn't know who that is, so I looked real quick, I can see that from a couple of her pics.

    Some may not have those in mind, but the interactive license added for the bundle for free, provided that you have some use for some of the contained items, considering the price with 8 tokens applied... less of an actual issue.

    Since this seems to be the Mira thread, I’ll post some renders to it. I didn’t get any of the bundles, but instead the base character, one of the hairs, one jewellery, and one of the tattoo sets (which I want to reverse engineer, as my current method for making tattoos for my personal projects is very clunky.)

    She’s mostly ok, she poses about average for gen9. Her mouth is difficult to pose as it comes, and I’m not sure how I’ll go ‘fixing’ the top lip to make it confirm to what I want. I can see she’s developed a bit of an eye alignment problem that I didn’t correct for prior to render.

    The rose tattoos she comes with are a cool design, but don't look like real tattoos to me. They are layered, so possibly something I could tweak to make look more like ink in skin.

    She does look young to me. I’d only attempt the most chaste of romance covers without aging her up. Possibly a good fit for that young-julia skin.

    (Sorry as always about the imgur hosting, Daz forums do not like my fat pics! I think I got one of three to attach)

    If you happen to have eight tokens, the bundle and the two texture packs total $44.23 for Daz+ members. Not bad, but not great. But if you want some of the "Vintage Gen Bundles", use the monthly DO coupon, and buy store credit for the purchase at the current 5% discount... The deal starts to look a lot better.

    Bundle and licenses, both texture packs, two G8 Pro bundles, three G3-G8 PA bundles ($52-$60 list price each), and the two new Daz+ releases = $60.23.

    The real question - and it's a sad state of affairs when this immediately comes to mind - is whether or not Daz will screw over Day One buyers and offer a larger discount later today.

    MIRA = Motor Industry Research Association (though these days it's called Horiba-MIRA. Where cars are deliberately tested to destruction. I have tested stuff there, and I simply can't imagine it being someone's name. Regards, Richard.

    I like her!  Simple render to test some things out.

    [Editx2] Forum is not uploading images, not from local HD, but finally got it from DAZ Gallery.

    Hmm, imagine that: It's 15% cheaper today - literally the day after release. Looks to be about $6.63 less for the bundle and texture packs (assuming tokens), but more depending on the rest of the cart since the additional items would be further discounted, too. Not as harsh as the "day after" drop for Van Helsing (from what I recall), but still a crappy way to treat people (and a stellar way to undo the goodwill and enthusiasm that interesting releases and good sales would otherwise cultivate).

    The 15% extra off the whole cart, took the discounts high enough to consider pulling the trigger.

    While checking her out, I found a difference between Josie, Ally and Mira... The width of their hips.

    Thank you for posting some pics.  Although I am not interested in this particular bundle (personal taste), I did want to see more of the character.  There seems to be something going on in the transition between the mouth/lips and the rest of the face.  Like a ridge or something.  Could it just be an artifact, or due to particular expressions, particular FBMs?

    Not the 1st time for this. That's why I learned to wait a day before buying a bundle I might want. 15% is better than none.

    I'm just going to mix every character I buy with Nikolai; it's become a tradition laugh

    Yeah, they do that... With Olympia 9, I waited from June 8th (Thursday) to June 11th (Sunday) and got the Pro Bundle cheaper.

    The expression pack made especially for looks like it has tried to compsentate, but I certainly had a lot of trouble using other presets, powerpose, or the dials that come with Genesis 9/expansions.

    @sid - thank you again.  Good to know about the expression pack.  yes

    I really don't like the way G9 expressions are built... then again, the intire concept of creating expressions using bones seems fundementally off to begin with as it adds patterns of rigidity that don't exist in real life.  That said, I didn't like G8.1's expressions much either, and Genesis 8 also had notable issues, especially with the mouth's breaking weirdly into a "Joker" typoe smile.  As a result, I still find myself going back to G3 when I want subtle expressions.

    That's a pretty odd way to think about names, but here is probably the most well-known Mira, and a more thorough list.

    Well known? Never heard of them. But then, popular culture and I are largely unacquainted with each other. Regards, Richard.

    Mira is a common female name in Finland

    yes, and adding that Rune is a common MALE scandinavian name. Hm, don't get me starteddevil 

  • stelaristelari Posts: 80

    Mira seems to mix pretty well, smooths out some of the issues people observed - here's some quick shots mixed with Aroon, Harmony, Madison (from elsewhere), Mylah.

    Mira means peaceful in Slavic languages.

    I DO NOT like this character. I think out of all the G9's so far, she's my least favorite. She has a really ugly transition between the brow and bridge of the nose that only gets worse when an expression is added. Hard pass. :(

    It looks like a subdermal implant! x^D
