Pear shaped ladies represent!

The bundles weren't really for me, but I picked up her, the HD, the muscle shape and a few specials.
She reminds me of Lisa Bonet.

The lowest I could get the Pro Bundle was $39 witth 8 tokens. So, wishlisted for now. and saving my pennies for Memorial Day and or the DAZ+ summer sale.
Has anybody been able to get the Pro Bundle lower?
$27.73 with two western add-ons, 2 featured artist items and 8 tokens. Plus you get 3 characters, 3 outfits and 3 hairs for free from the categories. Should also get 1 timeless treasure item for free too, but that category offer doesn't seem to be triggering for me in the cart.
I like her body shape.
they actually put straight up nudity on product images, I guess daz has changedt heri stance on it
I have it at $22.18
The cart has two western add-ons, two featured artist, two “Jungle” New Releases (for 20% off new items) and 8 tokens.
It's only for people buying the Starter Bundle, not for the ones buying the Pro Bundle:
The Starter Bundle is part of the Pro Bundle though, so it's a fair assumption.
Yes, but the Starter Bundle need to be in the cart to trigger the discount (as per the small text after the *) and the cart don't look at what's included inside a bundle to apply a discount.
$17.17 with all this plus monthly coupon. With all the freebies it's a big haul for the price.
What are the western add-ons? I don't see any advertisement for it in the shop.
It's any product related to Zahara 9 so for someone buying the Pro Bundle, it's the two textures add-ons and the desert addon by Predatron (which need another Predatron's product to work).
Thanks, that worked!
If I'm not mistaken and didn't forgot a discount somewhere, before tokens and coupons, the cheapest cart to get the cheapest price for the bundle right now is this one for $66.73 (it's likely higher because I used the cheapest products everywhere, but some are pretty old and for the jungle products, they are addons so if you don't have the base products, these addons are not useful):
Zaraha and two add-ons:
Two Featured Artist Stores products (for 30% off the bundle):
Two Jungle new products (for 20% off new releases):
Without the two jungle new products, the cart is at $63.70:
Zaraha and two add-ons:
Two Featured Artist Stores products (for 30% off the bundle):
the HD add doesn't seem to lend much overall to the character. Some finer details, but not a lot. it sure seems it should just be part of the overall model.
I wish there were more pictures for the alternate body shapes. A close-up of the face and two shots of the back - almost identical - don't cut it, especially for the more intensive body shapes like the muscular ones.
I wish they would bring back the young adult and eldery morphs instead of the slim/heavy/muscular/big hips & big boobs morphs they've been having as alternative shapes for a while now. It seems these are easy to reproduce with just a few morphs so they are not really worthwhile IMO. I mean I get it, it's less work for them..
Good tips, with that plus the tokens I was able to get the bundle down to $22.18. FYI https://www.daz3d.com/oriental-tobacco-tray is in the featured sellers list and is cheaper than either of The Jewlery Store items.
Cheers!
I had some time to try her out today. In all of these I have used her HD
(The muscle alt version has a HD version. I'm not sure how it works if you don't have the HD.)
Swapped out eyebrows, eyelashes and eye texture:
I thought her colouring might be simalar to Karmen or Olivia, so her she is next to them:
I was very keen on the musclar alt shape. I'm not completely into the calf muscle, even though I know short calf muscles are legit variation, they just didn't seem to stretch how I'd expect. The rest posed pretty well.
She has a little scar over her left thigh
And this is the eye makeup and foundation in the bundle (a lipstick from another set and some extra shaping applied for the corset).
Overall I'd say her body poses ok, proably middle of the pack for core gen 9, though there was some pleasent surprises with the muscle-alt version. Skin is more even/glamour/uniform than my personal preference, but I know other folk like that - it does have the advantage of a more even blend if using a foundation makeup.
Her face, like others in the generation, is difficult for me to pose naturally in anything other than a neutral expression.
Nice renders, @sid, as usual. Thanks for posting them with explanations. And thanks for the side by side with the other brown girls.
No orange banner offer for me for some reson, the selection of products in the bundles is best defined as anemic, and I already own most of the items that are being offered discounted with purchase, so this was a very easy pass for me. Besides, no matter how one looks at it, the Pro bundle will be 70% off before coupons and added discounts within a few months.
The Pro Bundle is now $17.74 (93% off) with the addition of a "First Half" New Release to the previous discount triggering items.
Is Zahara 9 the same as Zara 9 who is listed at the bottom of the Massive Memorial Day Weekend Sale email as a recent 'HOT NEW BUNDLES'? Or did I miss someone?
what is strange, yes, $17.74, but the total in my cart is $3 less than without a First Half release. I better jump on it quick.
