Tale of Two Asobis

I love Asobi, she’s my new favourite character.  Initially I couldn’t affort Hitomi, so I took a gamble [not much of one given Daz’s great return policy] and bought her without Hitomi.  This week I was able to get Hitomi in the catch up sale.  I thought I would do a quick comparison between the with and without Hitomi versions.  The pose is the same from below the neck for a fair comparison.  The non-Hitomi version is a collection of dial spinning of various other morphs.  I made no attempt to try and match the Hitomi morph version, I did all the dial spinning before I got Hitomi, except I did alter the breasts, boosting the implant morph from 0 to 100% to compete with Hitomi’s ample bosom.  I expect you could get a pretty good body match without Hitomi, but the face is the difference.

The render is unretouched using the Hitomi Bubblegum light quality setting.

[EDIT: and yes, one of the reasons the “with Hitomi” version is taller is that she apparently has the power to levitate an inch or two off the sand…hey, i DID say it was a “quick” comparison!  ]

Just realized this sale will go on for a looooong time.

The sale page says “Catch Up ends Friday, Oct. 1 - Don’t miss it!”
The next Friday, October 1st is October 1, 2021.

We added in some more New items!  Check them out.  And the Sale has been extended to MONDAY, October 1 2012… Looks like we have some legacy text that still says Friday floating around… so if anyone asks, please let them know that MONDAY the 1st is the last day.

Thanks Kevin.  Can you please poke the web folks.  The store is a mess.  It’s showing unformatted so everything is running down the left side of the page, links and all.  It’s a MESS!  Been like this for over 24 hours!  Not very enticing for shopping!

I see no mess, try to toss away the daz3d.com cookie.

And Platinum Club prices are visible if I’m logged in too.

Kevin do you know when the download issue a number of us are experiencing is going to be solved?

Ramwolff, refresh or reload and it might fix it. It was like that on Friday for me.

Just one last Asobi “with and without Hitomi” comparison render…cause…I…couldn’t-stop-myself…

Is there any easy way to know which items were added in?

Nope, deleted all the DAZ cookies as suggested, in fact I decided to go through all my cookies, DAYUM allot of those are just trash.  This is the newest screen grab. Cleared cache again too.  And folks wonder why there are those of us that bitch and complain about what a mess this place is still.  Well this is ONE reason… they messed it up and are now away for the weekend. Real nice!

http://www.daz3d.com/shop/new-releases/tempest-victoria-4

There may actually be more than that (Im not really sure, as I lost track)  But I think they also added Pretty3D and Ron’s new brushes over the weekend as well.

http://www.daz3d.com/shop/new-releases/jordan-and-evan-hair-bundle

And I think that covers thru the weekend

Might be that some DNS lookups fails or points at a bad server,

Wow Tempest is really tempting.  Sad to say she will have to reside in my wishlist for now. I wonder if I can rent out my cats for mouse catching or something. LOL
