    The rescue equipment has some nice reuseable props and the gorgeous steam truck will look gorgeous if I iRay it (and it too has some decent, reuseable props) smiley

    I'm loving that the doors and drawers are rigged in that kitchen! Definitely seeing kitbash potential.

    And I haven't done anything with HDRi's outside of skies, so this will be an interesting chance to experiment.

    This is another excellent group of freebies. Thanks, Daz!

    If some people likes to use Smart Content, the two files needed to add Smart Content for 'French Style Shabby Chic Vol 2 Kitchen' are in the archive attached to this message.

    I kept the original name, I simply deleted the almost empty 'DAZ_3D_27311_French_Style_Shabby_Chic_Vol_2__Kitchen_.dsx' file created by DIM to force Daz to create a new one, and added metadata to every item. As they are no material presets, either included or as a addon in the store, I didn't bother with creating Compatibility Bases for each of them.

    I didn't include the thumbnail so if you want one, you'll have to either create one yourself or do what I did:

    • Download the promo render with 'artistic render' written on it from the product's page: https://www.daz3d.com/french-style-shabby-chic-vol-2-kitchen
    • (Optional step) Resize it to 380x494 (it's optionnal because the render as the correct picture ratio).
    • Save it as a JPEG picture (you may have a webp picture at that point and I didn't check if Daz Studio is able to deal with them) named 'DAZ_3D_27311_French_Style_Shabby_Chic_Vol_2__Kitchen_.jpg'
    • Move it in the same directory as the dsx and dsa files
    • Move all of them inside a 'Runtime/Support' in either your 'My DAZ 3D Library' (and replace the 'DAZ_3D_27311_French_Style_Shabby_Chic_Vol_2__Kitchen_.dsx' file created by DIM), or, better, in a library not managed by DIM (My Library is perfect for that if you don't have any other library) and deleted the existing  'DAZ_3D_27311_French_Style_Shabby_Chic_Vol_2__Kitchen_.dsx' file created by DIM.

    The benefit of using a library not managed by DIM is that you'll keep the metadata file safe: in the improbable case of Daz pushing an update to such an old product, I think I read that DIM would replace the existing one.

    Then, you'll have to tell Daz Studio to install the metadata (I remember whatching a video of someone explaining how to replace the metadata included in the DIM package and ask DIM to reinstall, but in the current situation, they are no metadata files included in 

    How to install metadata?

    With the Content Library active (I’m reusing older screenshots but the text should be up-to-date):

    1. Open your Content Library, right-click on the tab to get the following menu and select Content DB Maintenance

    2. Select Re-import Metadata

    3. UNSELECT everything by unchecking User Data and All Products, to avoid overwriting existing metadata (it’ll also be much faster to only import one product metadata than your whole library…).

    4. Select ‘DAZ 3D 27311 French Style Shabby Chic Vol 2  Kitchen ’ (as announced, it’s an old screenshot done for another set of metadata) and click accept:

    Once installed, you will be able to find the kitchen in Smart Content:

    • By searching for ‘kitchen’
    • By searching for the author, by typing key::"Anima Gemini", or key::RuntimeDNA or key::"Daz Originals" (the latter being the less useful because you likely already have a lot of Daz Originals content installed).

    Or by looking into one of the categories shows on the following screenshot, which is also what you should see:

    Let me know if there is any problem.

    Out of curiosity I unchecked the "hide items I own" and saw the 70's living room props set... which I would be super excited over if I hadn't bought it ages ago. Great set, though, and I've gotten solid use out of it. Super generous as a freebie.

    I forgot I had the living room. They are both very nice sets. And two furniture sets in case you don't have the kitschy room. Only things I passed on were the Lilith HD, since I wouldn't use the HD even if I picked up Lilith 7 and Absynthe, who is SO not my style. Neither is The Sheriff outfit but picked it up because I could use a few of the accessories for kitbashing.

    Those bracers on the Sheriff outfit could come in handy, and maybe the hat. The boots have sensible heels, too, which is... refreshing. 

    I waffled on Absynthe, but in the end  I got her for the nail options and such. (But then, I kind of have bupkis for G8s, having started with G9, so if I ever do want to load up a G8 I'm a bit starved for options).

    Hmm, I will have to take a closer look at the Absynthe nails. I wonder if the makeups would be more appealing to me on another character? It's the puffy-pursed lips and plucked-and-drawn-on eyebrows I can't stand.

    Agree on The Sheriff - it was the bracers, hat, & flat boots I was thinking of. Maybe I will be ambitious & reshader the whole outfit for cyberpunk genre with lots of neon and circuit patterns. Especially in the games Edgerunners will wear ANYTHING, no matter how unsuitable for skulking & sneaking.

    I'd love to see the results if you do that cyberpunk kitbash!

    For Absynthe - there was an interesting lipstick option, I thought, with the overlays, and the nails had a couple non-standard colors. There's a dark blue for the eyes, too, that struck me as unique, and I could maybe use the body with a different face. She has a very distinctive look, and I get where it would be fabulous for those situations where one needs that look, though that'd be pretty rare for me. Maybe she'd show up as a background character at a Halloween party, or if I ever did a render set at the restaurant that used to be downtown, affectionately known as Fembers. It was frequented by the exceptionally flamboyant, and she'd fit right in. Certainly not something I would've paid money for, but hey, if she's going to be free... might come in handy.

    @SilverGirl, the cyberpunked sheriff WIP is here: https://www.daz3d.com/forums/discussion/comment/9306111/#Comment_9306111.

    I should probably "dim the lights" on those shaders I used in the outfit but that will have to wait on the successor to my somewhat lamented & quite nonfunctional laptop.

    And can someone please tell me where to find Absinthe's eyebrows in the rigging?

    Great selection again, cute and useful items. The texture might also be helpful, since the dress is in the outlet, I think as of today (I hadn't seen it before, but maybe I just didn't notice).:)

    The poses are nice. I had the other actual assets leaving me with textures for items I'll only get if they appear as freebies

  • SilverGirlSilverGirl Posts: 2,803

    I really like the hairstyle of the G3M... there's really nothing like it for newer gens, but it's way too clumpy-looking to mesh with what my other characters have for a unified aesthetic. Is there a way to do anything about that? I have a lot of hair shaders, but in my experience they seem like they just make the hair a different color of clumpy. Maybe I'm doing something wrong?

  • mdingmding Posts: 1,644

    I guess you mean esp. the moustache. I think you can get better results with other shaders (here I like the painterly style of https://www.daz3d.com/uht2-ultimate-color) although I don't know if you need painterly or rather photoreal but at least it looked better than the original:

    Actually I meant just the hair itself. Not planning to use the facial hair. (Assuming it can be separated? I haven't downloaded it to look yet.) That looks like it shows some promise... I go more for photoreal, but maybe it'll work.

    Thanks for the rec!

  • mdingmding Posts: 1,644

    @SilverGirl: For photoreal I would rather use another shader. Sometimes it is also the lighting (here https://www.daz3d.com/luxreal-hdri-lights-pack-4) and especially with hair: cranking up the quality 5-10.

    @SilverGirl, I was wondering the same thing, so I tried some experimentation with it.

    First, it autofits pretty well. I put it on one of my new characters, who's a G9, and all the morphs work on it. I think it looks pretty good on its own, but I wanted to see how it looked with the Backlight hair shaders, which I've liked on other polygonal hairs.

    The first attachment is how it looks with the Ebony 15 shader, with added shine and strength at maximum.

    The second attachment is a render of the hair with its own black material option. It's subtle, but the wispy parts look greyer and don't blend as well with the top part.

    You can see in both of those that the top looks a bit sparse. You can see the curve of Zoey's scalp through it.

    So, I tried combining the Adrian hair with another hair to fill in the gaps, specifically FE Soul's Strand-Based Slicked-Back Hair for Genesis 9. With the same shaders from the Backlight set on the Adrian hair, the slicked-back hair blends really well with the Adrian hair and fills in the gaps on top. Attachment three shows that. I quite like it.

    I rendered the hair combo without any adjustments to the FE Soul hair, but if you're going to be doing something which shows the back of the head, then dialing the FE Soul hair's head size slider all the way to -100 still fills in the top and doesn't interfere with the back ponytail. You can see how they fit together in the last attachment.

    I hope this helps! I think it's a lovely hair to have gotten for free. laugh

    Wow, that's super detailed! Thank you! Don't have that slicked back hair, but maybe I have something else similar (goodness knows I have enough hairs... watch, I'll have everything except something useful LOL) 

    ETA: played around with it some, and I think I got close, but it still kinda looks like he hasn't washed his hair for a week, which definitely doesn't work for that character. WL'ing the shaders you used, as I don't have those yet... they look like they might be handy in general. I'll give it all another go when I get them. :)

Two characters, VYK Sloane and Mila For Genesis 3 Female(s), require head and body morphs (which I don't have and I hope they return to the outlet), but they might work just as well. I also think the Atlantida items will work without the Atlantida Temple. Restaurant Waiter Uniform for Genesis 3 Male(s) and Swamp Witch for Genesis 2 Female(s) are very nice and fits well on g8m and g8f with autofit, as does Flirty Hair for Genesis 3 Female(s).
