    Grabbed a bunch of great stuff. There are some IDL Bundles for Poser for very little $$$ that I thought I'd try. There's also a Victorian circus mega bundle that looked cool. Lots of great hairs, plus the Bo Peep stuff. Going to have some fun!

    Here is Ishtar, autofitted to Vashti, a G3F. I tried it in 3Delight and then in Iray, reshading a bit. The hair doesn't look right with any of the Iray shaders I used. The dress came out okay. I couldn't shade the belt, I think that actually would have to be redone as a new texture. But all in all, it looks pretty good.

    Angeloi in 3Delight. It installed fine and there are tons of morphs to adjust the costume. A really wonderful outfit! Here's a first attempt at Iray. Not bad, needs work. Will add more texture versions and a better Iray render later. This is Nymwai by Mortem Vetus for V4, and Moonsong Hair.

    Still no word on the Malaik textures, so some are missing in the render.

    Yay! Downloading now! Then I'll update my renders. Woohoo!

    Does Ishtar and the other dresses in the bundles suffer from V-tearing when autofitted to G3F?

  • LlynaraLlynara Posts: 4,772

    Not sure what V-tearing is. The ones above with Ishtar were autofitted to a G3F. Some poses I tried looked a little odd the way the dress followed.

  • I think the V-tearing is talking about that awful bit of scrunching in the pelvic area that some outfits do when trying to fit on unusual shapes.  I haven't had a chance to download and install the new stuff yet.

    I did pick up a new bundle today that I hadn't seen before.  Polly Bundle for Mavka has 4 products in it.  She looks really cute.  It's a good deal for anyone who may already have Mavka for Genesis.

  • The Polly Bundle for Mavka is probably not for the Mavka for Genesis. The contents are all Poser files, and I believe, made for the original Mavka figure.

    I believe Mavka for Genesis has an autofit clone to wear clothes for the original Mavka.

    Better render with the Malaik wings on LY Fallon for G3F (wearing White Knight for G3F.)  I found that if you "fit" the wings to her, they do weird things. Parenting is okay though. There are many ways to pose these things, very versatile. I have not textured them for Iray. Trying to figure out what to textured feathered wings with. I have some leather and fur shaders. I don't see anything for feathers on the store and am still new at Iray.

    This is Raven, a winged Super from my Black Kat series. She's small but fierce!

    There's a duplicate product in the store:

    http://www.daz3d.com/kiki-pack-1-rompers

    http://www.daz3d.com/kiki-clothing-pack-1-rompers

    The "Required Product" links from the addons goes to the first one though, so if you own the other one it will not appear as "Owned" on the Required Products link, or as Purchased if you follow the link. The addons are also only shown on the first page.   

    Edit: cleared up some confusion (I hope)...

    I've gotten some of the outfits for Mavka over at Renderosity and haven't had a problem with them fitting.  I'm assuming there is an autofit like @fixmypcmike says.  I don't know if the morphs will work, but I'll play with them.  Considering the bundle was the same price as the clothing alone it made sense to get the bundle.  I have the original Mavka on my wishlist over there, but never got her because I didn't know how much trouble it would be to get her to work in DS, but then I ended up getting Mavka for Genesis and everything I've gotten for her has fit with no problems.

  • I am thinking about buying the Hattie Madder outfit: http://www.daz3d.com/hattiemadder for Victoria 4, I wonder how it autofits to Genesis 3 female, have anyone tried it? the shoes probably doesn't work so well but the rest of the outfit?

    Here's the dress autofitted (Full Body) to G3F, had to morph it a bit (lots of fit morhps included) to remove some poke-through. The sleeves though won't fit, don't know if there's a way to make them work. Iray render with default texture, no iray shaders.

  • Thanks for checking that for me! :) I can use that dress with some other loose sleeves I have from other outfits I think and retexturet them.

    There are more really good bundles, from RDNA and others in the 80% off section today. If you sort them by price, from high to low, you'll find most of them. Some of them are stacking with other sales, plus the discount if you happened to buy something in the past three days. Good time to stock up on anything missed in the last sale. A lot of the same products are in there! Also some great deals on classic hairs (especially long styles) and timeless characters.

    Even better, the "Winter is Coming" sale stacks with the "Thanksgiving Weekend sale". Many of those vendors also have products in the 75% and 80% areas, including Arki and Lady Little Fox. Plus the extra discounts for anything purchased the last few days, and occasionally a PC+ discount = massive savings on even some of the newer stuff. It's hard to decide what to get and what to wishlist!

  • I can't get the 84% on neoindia. how do you manage to get it? (I max out at 75%)

    I bought Damen the other day, so I get an extra 5% off the holiday sale. I'm a PC+ member, not sure that makes a difference on this one. I have two "Thanksgiving Sale" items in my cart and two "Winter is Coming" products in there, which brought the prices down even lower. Those sales seem to stack for certain vendors.

  • I don't have the day 1 2 3 discount.

    And I definitely don't stack more than 75% on arki/shox design, whatever I do.

     

    ....And I just find out that the Undead Creature Creator HD Morph Pack for Genesis 3 Male was....for the male! I own the female one. They so much look the same on the main promo image

    I think it's a combo of the 123 sale and the stacking "Winter is Coming" sale, but I can't be sure. Arki is one of the vendors listed in Winter is Coming sale, and some of her items are in the 80% off area (if you buy one of today's new releases.)

    Guess I shouldn't have said anything. Now all the prices have changed, just as I was getting ready to check out (after hours of looking at stuff.) Went from $150 to $250. Probably won't buy anything today if they want to nearly double them on me. Just walking away from the computer. Happy Thanksgiving!

    Yes, same thing happened to me! If prices don't go back, I'm emptying out my cart and returning all trigger items for last 3 days! Cart jumped up by $100 too.

    I'm going to try later. Or tomorrow. I understand if there's a mistake that needs to be corrected, but I've been shopping for hours and double checking them as I go. Really frustrated at the moment. The discounts don't look right either. I'm supposed to get an extra 5% off for my purchases on Day 2, but it's showing up as 3% here and there and the whole thing is just wonky.

    Really good RDNA bundle deals in the blowout sale. The $7 items are $3.50 with any new release, and then are discounted more if you have a Holiday Loyalty Rewards banner. On top of that, there are some PC+ items in that sales that are coming out around a little over $1.

    And don't forget to use the "HOLLIDAZ" coupon code to get a free RDNA item from this page: http://www.daz3d.com/featured-runtime-dna-free-selection (I picked Ultragenesis Morphs)

    Yeh, but they took all the good stuff I wanted out of that offer Not Cool.  So, no matter how good the offer I may just save my money and not buy anything for awhile!

    That stinks, but there are still some good things in there. Just have to dig, and make lemonade out of lemons! laugh

    What's funny is, when I unhide what I own, there are a few more pages full of stuff! I've picked up more than I realized during these blowouts.

    But why does my wishlist keep getting bigger?

    Same cart, different day- the discounts and coupon are not working at the moment the way they should. Nothing has changed in the cart, and both were working yesterday before my cart stopped working. I've got a ticket in.

  • You are so right, wonderful bundle sales right now. Fern lake bundle is on sale today. That is going in my cart. Hurray cool

  • LlynaraLlynara Posts: 4,772

    Looks like it's fixed and there are many RDNA bundles ringing up for under $3 with Holiday banner. I ended up getting most of the ones above for $2.18 each. THe HOLLIDAZ code is finally working as well, and there are more items to choose from, which are the PC+ items. They were taken out of the sale, so no Plushes for $1, sadly. Maybe another day! At least you can get one for free with the code.

    There are still some great deals to be had.

    EDIT: The coupon ends late tonight. Not sure how long the blowout sale lasts.
