    I’ve been passing on Daz O character bundles lately (not into Tasha or Sydney at all!) and will probably pass on this. The Landon character and bundle are OK, but nothing I don’t already have or need and I definitely don’t need any of the addons and the freebie deals in the various categories are too complicated to deal with and don’t really interest me. If they just said $90 off ANY non new Daz Originals with a wider choice of addons, that might have interested me. It’s like a part of me wants new shiny stuff but there’s nothing I really want or need anymore. I’m oversaturated with 3D assets lol! I’ll wait till March Madness is over then possibly take a break. I really think I already own way too much and the current deals aren’t enough to entice me... I’m an addict but there’s nothing to satisfy my need for a fix lol! I need to save money too, so it’s all good! smiley

    Here he is with some tweaks with Altern8.

    I think he has a bit of a Brad Pitt vibe to him here.:)

    I really like his jawline. I think I'm going to get him. I have him in my cart already. Just need that final nudge to pull the trigger, lol. Doesn't help that march madness is right around the corner!

     

  • I like him but I may have to wait till friday(payday).  Hopefully todays offer still works then

     

  • Thorn + vasculatiry

    Typically, a new figure release's offer lasts for two weeks. However, with "March Madness" coming up, Don't count on it going beyond next Sunday. While I have only experience as a Daz customer to go on, I fully expect March Madness to start on Monday, Feb. 25. I could be wrong. They could start MM on March 1st, but I don't recall an event sale starting on anything but a Monday for months, if not years. (Then again, I have a very old memory, prone to "senior" moments.)

    Yumm!

    Thorn + vasculatiry 

     

  • Here's a quick test I did using all of the variations of Landon 8. The version here will be smaller, but you can see the HD image on my Deviant Art site:

    There is no postwork done on these figures except for adding their names.

    I had not anticipated this ... as I was not around until the very end of last year's March Madness.  January and February were very "quiet" spending months after a crazy couple months at the end of the year.  I figured I would have another week of calm.

    Well, unless Daz changes things up, MM will be rather tame compared to the 2018 end-of-the-year trifecta of event sales. There are usually two or three catchup sales where all the MM new releases are at the intro price again, so it shouldn't hurt to wishlist some things to pick up during the catchups. Then you can be sure to get the things you really want/need right away. Don't forget, "There's Always Another Sale™". You don't have to buy it all in one go. (Though wouldn't it be nice if one could afford to?)

  • On the other hand it is probably a really good time to pick up a preparitory gift certificate...

    LOL

    Oh, yeah. Anytime you can pick up a GC at a discount, it's a win.

    Compared to your out of the box render, this is magnificent. The level of detail in the skin that Altern8 brings out is incredible. Thank you for your renders.

    I like Landon a lot!  I can't wait to try out Thorne too.

    Oh thank you! That's really nice of you to say! laugh I think it definitely brings a little bit of "roughness" to him - makes him look a little older perhaps.

    I think he's pretty hunky both versions, though. heheh :D

    I was thinking of getting the pro bundle, and started looking at individual items, when I saw that https://daz3d.com/dforce-outsider-outfit-for-genesis-8-males is showing what looks like texture problems in the main promo image. I'll wait until people start posting images with dForce added. The promos, if they are using dForce indicate the jeans don't perform well with dForce. Please prove me wrong, because we need good dForce stuff for the males.

    (Edit to fix typo.)

    I haven't rendered that set yet, but the Alpha set has an issue with the shirt textures (also carries over to the add-on since they share normal maps, etc.)

    Here is Landon. I added fitness, a bulge, and dialed up those tiny nipples. I like my werewolves a bit more ripped. wink

    Wow shame about those textures! Hopefully they'll get those fixed. Wonder how that got past the testers.

    I'm usually not a fan of monsters but Lycan is breathtaking! Josh Crockett really hit this out of the ballpark!

    Here are the pants on G8 using a pose from the Landon Pro Bundle. The first is with dforce and the second is without it.

    That really is a good Brad Pitt, I thought of him immediately when I saw it. Is that morph out-of-the-box, or did you turn some dials to get that look?

    The morph is just Landon, no morph adjustments - I used PowerPose to change his expression to give him a bit of a smirk and raise one of his eyebrows.

    Most of all Landon 8 reminds me of Lucas 8

    Really like Landon. Ture he is pretty similar to other males from Genesis 8, but he's different enough to make him a good addition to the gene pool.

    Landon: It's Dark...

     

    Excellent work on both of these.  Sometimes the promo images don't show a figure at its best, it's only when people start using the figure and posting images like this that we get to see the full potential.
