    Dain 8 clean shaven with chest hair set to low density.

    so confirming the chest hair in the promos comes with Dain?  It's not listed in the product anywhere, unless whiskers suddenly means body hair.

    Yes, the Chest hair figure is missing from his product page.  Also included is a very nice set of eyebrows which is not mentioned either.  The chest chair comes with three materials to control density: low, med and high in addition to materials for it and the eyebrows.

    37 tattoo options are missing from his product page too!

    I made a snip of the Hair Mats from Dain 8, Iray for you and the hair on face and chest. The brows are under anatomy.

    Sooooo I got him.  Here's more sample for yah.  Did a test render on him.  Turned out okay.

    he looks very familiar but cant put my finger on it.

    Like ... Matthew Rhys meets Simon Baker or James Tupper or something.

    Kind of reminds me of the guy from I Dream of Jeanie lol....

    What's that hair if I may ask?

    It looks a bit like Commander Hair to me, I used said hair for my 'Mattified' pic.  I could be wrong though...

    If it helps anyone feel better, for those that received the purple banner, if you think of it as paying the 'sale price' for the other G8 Pro bundle you pick, and hence are getting the Dain 8 Pro Bundle for free instead... 

    OK, I know that's not how it works, but for those that haven't bought all of the G8 pro bundles yet, that might still want some of them...

    I was pretty happy to have ended up with some 'soccer mom' clothing as part of my purchase with the Jenni 8 pro bundle.  Jenni 8 didn't interest me back when she was released for some reason, probably because the 'deal' wasn't as good as other deals at the time if I had to guess, but in my case it helped sweeten the Dain 8 deal. 

    But paying a lot for a G2 or G3 bundle doesn't have the same thrill by said logic.

    Just a random thought I had.

     

    Yeah, that's kind of my attitude: I got three cool G8M base characters with mediocre pro bundles (Dain, Diego and Nix) and a bunch of useful odds and ends, for around $80 store credit, and I bought the store credit at 30% off, so actual money spent was much less.

    Fibermesh...hahahahaha...It slows my pc terribly so probably won't be able to touch that. Thanks though!

    Really? That's both hilarious and sad.

    Am I the only one who thinks the pin-straight body hair on Dain and Kalen looks really unnatural?

  • memcneil70memcneil70 Posts: 5,281

    My eyesight is not as good as it should be on my monitors. Might be why I prefer to cover up body hair. 

    Someone in the thread waaay back asked for a render of the Future Soldier Suit on a female. I have put it on Ruben and on Lanya to compare. The breast/chest and hip areas are the biggest differences. I allowed for autofollow, not using any of my conversion packages.

    No, I'm with you there. It can be tweaked to look more natural, though.

    ^ It doesn't bother me on Dain, but it looks weird on Kalen. Wouldn't a black man have much more curly body hair?

    Depends. And it's entirely possible that he's meant to be Hispanic.

    i'm nervou to take a chance on Nikolai, cuz of the help tix backed up.  a refund  could take a while.

    they shoulda gave a promo showing his torso evenly matched skin

  • genaris said:

    @Leana and @nemesis10 thanks!

    @Lindsey the render looks great but Dain looks really weird. What is up with those trap muscles. They look weird. The closest I found to that weird shape is this but even these muscles (as weird as they look) have a more natural shape and come on a much bigger body. They should go more towards the sides and not so much towards the top. Do we have morphs to change their shape?

    @vwrangler Dain 8 and his pro bundle and now fantasy bundle look great to me but alsmot everything seems rushed. From some finishing touches to make the products great to the presentation and the missing promo images.

    Did Daz ever release updates or corrections for already released products for free? Because it seems like there should be some for this pack.

    +1 about those trap muscles!   That's a trend among the manufacturers, it seems, morphing up bigger and freakier traps/necks on models and I'm sooo hating it.  It's one thing for so many of the monster characters to have necks like pyramids or boat sails - hey, they're monsters, not humans! :)  -- but on actual human males these things look like carnival grotesques.  But, shape/morph aside, I'm thinking I will buy the Dain character just because the skin looks pretty realistic and well done in the promos.... and just use some other character's shape. :)

    Can't you just pose his shoulders up more?  Like he's starting to shrug?  I've gotten this look from other character when I've posed their shoulders too far down.

    can all that hulk be turned down with morphs? 

     

  • MelissaGTMelissaGT Posts: 2,611

    Just wanted to put an update out there in case anybody did the same thing I did...ticket for missed free Pro bundle has been processed and I was able to get my 2nd free G8 bundle...so I ended up with Jenni 8 and Leisa 8 as my freebies for purchasing Dain plus an add-on (I went with the HD add-on).

    Yes! Rendering right now!

    I really want to love this suit but the fact that there's no individual SURFACES for the tie / shirt / jacket, let alone it not being separate pieces is soo disappointing.

    Anyways, quickie test render of Dain HD!

    OK here is Dain at 50% with a bunch of morph changes and skin setting changes. To make traps smaller I used a PA morph for traps and turned limits off and went negative. I think he adds to the gene pool a bit, but I have so many over-buff guys that I need to tone down. He looks Scandinavian to me, like his name should be Sven lol. (Actually I once dated a guy who looks a lot like this but he was Canadian.)

    So-o, what exactly is wrong with the material zones on the Mercenary and Bouncer outfits? Someone called them chaotic, many others have expressed extreme disappointment. Can't the Geometry editor be used to separate the surfaces/regions/face groups (not that we should have to do it)? Salvageable or not?

    I, too, try to support quality products, regardless of who it is for, but the male characters do constantly seem to get less attention. Although the deals for Dain are quite good, I get the impression of being paid off to look the other way to accept sub-standard fare, as if DAZ knew this bundle included inferior products and had to sweeten the deal to make it more palatable. Someone said to consider it as paying for one of the other Genesis 8 Pro bundles and Dain's is the free one, but that's not Accounting will see it. Marketing will put their own spin on it, I'm sure.

    Still on the fence about this one. Do I get it and experience the disappointment first-hand, but get the satisfaction of returning it all to make a point, or skip it altogether and get it, and all the rest I have carefully selected, as bonus items on some future Pro Bundle release? That also means I won't be getting the Fantasy Bundle any time soon, either, missing out on the extra discount I would get.

    After all these comments I'm utterly glad I didn't even think about buying this bundle...

    But I'm still interested very much in The Fighter which looks like the most useful figure of the Dain Pack for me... So could someone please do a render of him and possibly without Dain being dialed in? Pretty please... ^^

    @maidecker, I did the renders of The Fighter, with the Alt version on the left and the main version on the right, 100% dialed into Dain 8. The second render is both of them with Dain dialed out completely. What I noticed as the dial moved, was the chins, besides the bodies changing.

    Mary

    Thanks a lot for the pictures. The differences are quite obvious, with the head shape and a totally different look around the eyes area. So no Fighter for me, until I get a chance to get Dain cheap ^^

    @NorthOf45, I can't speak to mercenary outfit yet.  

    RE: Bouncer Outfit.  Overall, it is a nice suit and tie.  I will get some use from it even if I make no further changes.  However, the top is a single piece (jacket, shirt, and tie).  The mesh is a single material zone, meaning in its default state I can't change the tie color by itself.  More importantly to those of us who use DForce, I can't isolate pieces of the top by material zone for use with DForce.  In default state, DForce causes the mesh to explode.  As you note, with some effort, folks can create material zones on their own.  But unless I am mistaken, each one of use will have to do that individually because sharing an edited mesh would be against the rules.
