    I've been trying to get a look at the RockyShoo outfit, but I keep getting redirected back to the main page.

    I like the look of her, but I've been ruined by the better discounts over the past few months. Thanks to the overlords at Daz for a purple banner though. 

    Try a hard refresh, as it was sorted out

    I have never seen a human with hair that starts millimetres above the ear. But there are several such hairstyles in the Daz store, and, invariably, they lack an ear height morph. I wonder what that's about?

     

    I don't like that ear section either. The rest of the hair is an interesting combination of layering though, but note there are NO MORPHS to adjust by the ears. 

    Make the ears bigger. :)

    Yeah, the only thing manly about her is the paucity of her sales incentives.

    The morphs that make the ears bigger also move the scalp hair up, unless you dial in elf/Vulcan ears, but that is rarely preferable.

    Yeh, I'm not seeing it either; there is a tough vibe, even a hard look to her, but manly was amusing.

     

    Chevy's braids are definitely getting bought; I haven't decided on anything else yet.

    Beauty lies in the eye of the beholder.
    And while she is not outright manly nor ugly, her facial features are too harsh for my likings to call her a beauty.
    However, you tricked with your choice for the point of view, which is hiding her jawbone line within the composition.

    I found that putting things into the cart from the main store page and clicking on them in the cart got me to the proper item's page. 

    I can't figure out how the rockyshoo outfit is supposed to be constructed, but it certainly photographs well. And the jacket outfit has all it's texture add-ons in its main package, so I wouldn't expect a texture add-on for that. The two missing outfits don't look like they belong in this package at all. Maybe they escaped and ran off to Shangra-La or some place.

    Lots of glitchy links today, and they're still not sorted out on the home page for me. I can't directly get to rockyshoo, or one of the pose packs. Last night I had to jump through hoops just to see the base character.

    I do really like the base and Redz add-on. Emrys's add-on is also very nice (thank you for a clean face promo, so I can see what the character looks like). The double braids hair is beautiful, but it's Iray only, so I'm grumphed about that.

    Huh? Mine does that and I've not done an inventory to know but I think it's not too uncommon.

    The morphs that make the ears bigger also move the scalp hair up, unless you dial in elf/Vulcan ears, but that is rarely preferable.

    It is possible to adjust auto-follow morphs (auto-follow on a morph can also be fully disabled, although that needs to done before fitting the item in question - the elf ear morphs have it disabled by default, which is why they don't follow).

    If you go to the parameters on the hair with hidden parameters shown, you can adjust the strength of the auto-follow morph. This also includes setting the morph higher or even the opposite of what it is on the figure - so if you have any morph for adjusting ears on the Genesis figure, it can be dialed in on just the hair. (Smoothing may be necesary).
    Although in that case, you may want to use the transfer utility to transfer the morph to the hair, as the morph will need to be at least slightly active to show up as an auto-follow. (although for one of my characters, I do have a morph I often want to apply to clothes dialed in at 0.001% on the figure just so it quickly and easily shows up on any clothing as an auto-follow).

    This method is particularly useful for things like the "Bodybuilder details" morph, which can be dialled back on clothing to stop it looking too shrinkwrapped to the figure. (Just a shame when creators build all everything into one body morph, so that the details can't be dialled out. Separate HD morphs are particularly appreciated on this front).

    googled hairline ears and that style certainly exists in real life

  • Oso3DOso3D Posts: 15,084

    Abyssal: Actually I was trying to hide a little of the 'hover' of the dress I chose, but hey, your suggestion is good; I think she looks way hotter this way.

  • Always at your service, @Oso3D.

    I think it's the well-defined nose and chin.  I do see what you are saying.

    Attractive, either way, though.  That's for sure!

    Huh? Looks like the hair doesn't fit right. Maybe you're supposed to move the character's ears up instead of the hair's ear parts down? Weird in any case. frown

    The face makes her look like Nix's sister. I don't know that I'd call the effect "manly" given that he had relatively refined features for a guy, but it does make her look somewhat generic from the shoulders up.

    To me the earline looks kind of punkish, like girl-with-the-dragon-tattoo kind of style... buzzed around the ear to show off either bigger ear piercings or tats or something like that. it's unique but not wrong. maybe cool if it had morphs to lower it, but you could for example dial ear height on the head by like 1% to turn on the autofollow in the hair and then go to the hair invisible follow morphs and dial it negatively if that makes sense. or use dformers or mesh grabber. ;)

    Yeah AbyssalEros, I understood your comment... I just am kind of mind boggled at all the responses overall. Even if some of stuff isn't my style I think things were still quality. Michaela is gorgeous as folks have noted. I don't have Ophelia, so I was glad to personally add a tough muscular gal to my shapes collection and my char is kind of tomb raider tough movie star star inspired.

    Serina was quickly put in my cart, really like her eyebrows and overall look. I LOVE that the blush option is added and not part of the default mat.  I hate blush that is built-in. Very nice job and love your gal!

    Full disclosure, she does have some natural blushing-it was in the photo materials i used to make her, and its stronger with high sss. Alas. I hope you still like her! I strive to make each character better and better. Have been taking this month to rework from the bottom up so hope in the future I can offer even better.

    Already bought her, some natural cheek coloring is fine!  I would suggest that perhaps consider a complete no-blush option with LIE blush (or however it's done)  with two blush options and make it clear in the description, aka promote it. Quite a few comments in my Art Studio thread have been on blushes, so a variety would be nice. There's a couple characters already offering that and I scoop them up when I see them. Looking forward to see what you do next!  yes

    This will be the first Pro bundle I will skip since I am PC+. Even if the two fantasy dresses will eventually appear inside the bundle. I do not like the jaw bone line of her, and the supplement chars are not much better. Aside of the nice Double Dutch Braids the other hairs look kind of retro (Genesis 2 or even older). Playtime Chills I would not even add as a freebie in my cart. The other clothes look indeed really good, but the overall offer is not that good to buy the whole bundle to get four maybe six (if the fantasy dresses are part of the bundle) assets. And the twenty bucks for old assets are not tempting at all. Sorry @DAZ and the PAs, for my honesty.

    I agree with everything you've said, except I like the main character more or less and Michaela looks pretty nice. Other than that, the hair is awful, the clothes are just ok, except for that one outfit that is just so silly and goofy looking that I almost thought it was a joke. IF I get anything of this character it'll be just the base, the HD and Michaela.

     

    Whoa ... surely not meaning https://www.daz3d.com/dforce-double-dutch-braids-for-genesis-8-and-genesis-3-females? because that hair has so much detail it's mind boggling.... and, as someone with an age old computer that takes years to render and dforce stuff.... it loads and renders pretty quickly and has morphs if you can't or don't want to dforce it.... I kind of think this hair is the best part of the bundle IMHO.... 

    I just don't like the look of dforce strand hair in general. I was not speaking of the style.

    Advice is always welcome and I will be sure to include that in options! I usually try to do a no-makeup option on nearly all my characters- Serina ended a bit more made up as I initially was trying to go glam tomb raider and i went a bit strong on the glow up. Next girl will be better! Thanks for your support! <3

    My own opinion, is that we're becoming used to softer, more rounded shapes; perhaps because of all the art and retouched photos that exist.

    Three, actually. They probably called that the Zorro snap or something.

    That is very nice @AnotherUserName. My render of the outfit and Michaela is cooking right now. I am taking it into a Sci-Fi direction. I liked the provided poses for the character and outfit, to start with, as the wings on the top had me a bit worried. The walking pose works like a charm. Edit to add, she reminds me of a young Kathryn Janeway, which is weird as the front image on the shop is tickling my brain as I think I know that face, and it is not Janeway.
