  • Why didn't they improve the human torso/horse body join point? It's still too harsh and abrupt. I get that it's a geograft, but they couldn't have made a trans map? I mean, this was the biggest issue i had with the g3 centuars.

     

    *sigh* Still gonna buy it though.

    Genesis 8 Centaur has arrived! There is a 10% off banner. Has anyone tried it?

    I got a 20% off banner and it did work... I'm about to install.  I am curious about if it can use older centaur textures.

    Er... why is the Centaur Pro Bundle only 40% off while the seperate Female and Male Centaur bundles are 58% off each?  That's got to be an error. 

  • Yep. Must be. Makes no sense that a bundle of both centraur bundles is more expensive than getting those two individually.

    I show them all as 40%.

    If I add another item, it goes to 50% as expected.

    Do you show the same percentages in your cart as on the page? Do you have any couponless discounts applying?

    Woe is me, I only got 10% lol. Anyways, I didn't see any new hides and breeds textures! Perhaps, backward autofit may work using the old textures?

    The PC+ discount isn't applying to the Centaur Pro Bundle.

    I checked this and the problem seems to be that the PC+ discount for DAZ originals isn't applying to the Pro bundle but it is to the seperate Male and Female Bundles.  

    Also, the rotating banner ad says up to 70% off, but the highest discount I'm seeing is 40% + 45%,which is 67%.

    Couldn't agree more! it's the main reason I didn't get the G3 version when released and the reason why i don't plan on getting this version. RAWArt or another PA will probably come out with a product with a better/lower transition, but then I'll probably be stuck with their artistic vision that I can't change like I was with the G3 version.

    In Genesis 8 Centaur Pro Bundle you have two products: Hides and Breeds for Centaur Female and Hides and Breeds for Centaur Male, which are not listed in the respective Bundles. Is it possible that it is for this?

    Here's a better question, for any early buyer... does the Centaur 8 come with a power pose template for the horse body? 

    EDIT - I spun this off into a seperate thread  so that we don't clutter up this thread with off topic horse tale  https://www.daz3d.com/forums/discussion/348526/centaur-8-extra-horse-textures-and-other-thoughts#latest

    yeah i have the same issue about how bad is transition between horse and human in the torso, when i saw that new i really get excited but after hear the same "problem again" it make me a little sad, i was really thinking hard in buy it but now i'm not too sure about it.

     

    Another thing which i noticed was which it's looks like the centaur pro bundle don't get the 30% extra discount from Platinum membership

    The solution was probably already in the hands of DAZ: Bear Blendy Two Layer Shader for Iray

    I am seeing the pc discount on the Centaur Pro bundle, so may be that has been fixed now.  However, clicking on the links for the two "Hides and Breeds" products in that bundle goes to the inactive page.  I have a horrible feeling that they are going to repeat the very unfair marketing of the Horse 2 Pro bundle by having products that are not available anywhere but in the pro bundle.

  • Cris PalominoCris Palomino Posts: 12,454

    Discounts show all be fixed now and pro bundle as first tile.

    Yep.  It looks like that's exactly what they seem to have done, and they've compouonded the error by not making that very clear up front.  If you don't read the Cenataur 8 Pro Bundle text closely, a lot of people will probably never be aware that the Hides and Breed add-ons exist.

  • Discounts show all be fixed now and pro bundle as first tile.

    I'm glad I waited before hitting button got it down to about $68($99+change Australian)  with two extras and discounts now it's dropped to $48.12 - $74.05 Australian 

  • think it's kinda considered an extra thank you bonus for buying the pro getting the hides but yeah even if not included in the two seperate bundles at least offer to buy seperately they did for centaur 7, and someone asked about anatomical elements well from promos from one of the pose sets it shows he is a boy horse. Also some of the textures or tattoos? are on both horse and humanoid parts from some promos so maybe that means you can still use textures for the horse parts of horse 2 and centaur 7 too and 8 are all new different and not doubling up, haven't hit buy yet and I've got a render going maybe few hours yet so can't confirm. Also side note it does not mentio you need Daz Horse 2 which may be obvious you need to most of us unless it is not DH2 base used at all and is new made just for this I doubt it though otherwisemaybe few buy it don't have DH2 and not know they need it may get upset

    Hm, I have both centaur G7 figure and no banner. So the owners of the previous figures didn't get a cut on the new G8 figure?

    Said that several post ago, they are looking into it:

    Xellosz, I'm sending in an inquiry as I only get the additional discount when I have more than one. I didn't realize your questions hadn't been addressed.

    Do you have the G3 centaurs pro bundles or just the bases? My banner mentions the bundles.

    Just the base. Seems like I'll be waiting for a few month till the G8 centaur bundle will be in the extra items of a sale.

    Has anyone who has purchased the Centaur Pro Bundle been able to access the Hides and Breeds files? They do not show in either DIM or on the Product library page for me.

    As a followup to the 'Hides & Breeds thing", looking at the product library page that links from your order (I purchased the pro bundle), As others have noted the two Hides and Breeds items are listed in 'What's Included' to the right of the main product pic (see screenshot in Haruchai's post above" but both just link to an 'Oops' page.  Same for the Pro bundle product page, as others have reported.  Mainly this is a 'me too' post, noting the broken links as others have noted.

    I can live with the broken links to the product page, it is not being able to download the files that is concerning me mostly.

  • the male centaur appears in figures - people - male, and the female one appears in figures- creatures

    I was looking for centaur 8 in smarty but each are listed as genesis 8 male centaur & genesis 8 female centaur, but as said male is in people and female is in creature

    like c7 you have a complete centaur and an additive that is the horse body to add to your choice of male/female character. However if you load your favourite character then the horse body add on it does not auto hides the lower half of the human you gotta do that manually. But there is another way load the complete centaur instead then while selected got your femal/male body you wish to use selct their shape morphs then textures and all be fine
