Welcome aboard, Aubrey 8!
https://www.daz3d.com/aubrey-8-tripping-the-metaverse
Seems like a decent character but what's with the horrible makeup? Ugh. Who creates these makeups for Daz Originals??? Haven't checked out the whole bundle yet but I see the freebies are from the SAME group they keep offering over and over again... Things like that can turn a sale into a non-sale for me. We need MORE to choose from!
I have to admit that it disturbs me a bit that everything is Daz Original. Shades of Dain (which I considered kind of a disaster). Again, another bundle where the only thing I like is the character and nothing else.
What's with this outfit? I don't know who made it, but I don't blame them for not wanting their name attached.
Character's fine, though.
Yeah, although I like Camilla and some of the addon characters, but not the bundle or the choice of freebies... I only got the Dain bundle because there was a good choice of freebies. But with this, we don't even have that...
It looks Dain-ish to me, too. The hair in this bundle doesn't look up to current standards, to me, either. I'll wait for more user reviews before considering this one.
Didn't we just get a pro bundle last week?
The 4 outfits and the 2 hair list "Bloodhunter" in the data paths. Coming just a week after Valentino, sounds like another Dain situation.
Threads merged.
Actually I liked most of what was in the Dain bundle, unfortunately the quality of the clothes was not up to par. The hair, I like.
Here I like the main character and Paisley from the add-ons. Little else.
Also, the offer is indeed terrible. The same as the last Nth bundles. Bad selection of freebies, the purple banner gives a mere 20% WITH coupon. Dain gave double the benefits, which even at base were better. We would get 2 pro bundles for free + the free stuff.
This is an easy no for me.
But with an offer as bad as this (and the last can't remember how many bundles) unless I love the character and I can see an immediate use for at least 3 or 4 items in the bundle it's a no for me.
Buying bundles with this offer only lets Daz know it's good enough and they won't try any harder.
It's my guess why the offer has been the same generic for so long. People bought the bundles with it so no reason to make it better.
I love the Future dress. Character looks pretty good. Nice eclectic mix in the bundle.
I like her in this promo image the best with that hair and outfit with the scarf which funny enough neither that hair or outfit is in the bundles or as extras yeah makeups are yeah and guessing as usual makeups aren't seperated blush, lipstick and eyeshadow unlike characters from others so no mix match. Also noticed in one promo she had stained teeth maybe option? or could be light, I remember someone complained about teeth always being bleached white
@AllenArt, I checked the Read Me documentation. Based on the File List, the artist for all the clothing, (and the addons for those clothing items,) and both hair items is named Bloodhunter. One pose set's Read Me generates a page not found error, the other shows there is only one set of poses and expressions, not two; I would expect a set for G8F and a set optimized for Aubrey 8 if Aubrey's name is in the product title.
The two additional characters in the bundle are from established PAs, but after the major disappointment I felt with Dain 8, there's no way I'm buying another Pro Bundle with all or most of the included products created by a single, unknown artist.
ETA: And now I see @NorthOf45 had checked and reported, as well.
Looks like the same deal as last time, for Valentina 8.
That deal didn't move me, even with the purple banner, this one isn't moving me either. Off to the wishlist...
Characters look nice otherwise, but my Daz Library is awash with caucasian females at this point, so yeah...
Any one know this outfit? Anyone know the model? Does NOT llok like it is in the bundle.
I like the way most base characters look, and if I had the funds I'd purchase them all, however Aubrey 8 is literally a young Mabel 8, there's no way one can not see it if one does a side by side. Aubrey would have been better suited as an add on for her IMO. Have to pass on this one (I need to put away for Josephene anyway, my favorite looking female character from the promo's thus far.)
She's one of the add-on characters: https://www.daz3d.com/monet-for-aubrey-8
^Not sure on the outfit - the outfit is seen more (with different textures) in this character's page: https://www.daz3d.com/paisley-for-aubrey-8 so maybe OziChick or TwiztedMetal would know

On Aubrey's theme:
From the product page:
So she sounds like a Dr. Who-ish time traveller, hence the interesting mix of clothing.
thanks, now for the outfit
As usual I like the main character. Definitely put off by no-named bundle items. Very much prefer to know who made things. And I'm not happy with the way that reading the descriptions of the outfits, nearly everything sounds like it's all a single item. And no promos showing matt zones to see whether you can turn parts off. And everything is Iray but the main character. A couple of the add-on characters have nice morphs, but all in all, I'm not convinced.
Going to need to think about this one. Probably wait until I see some user renders.
The outfit is dForce G.I.S. Admiral for Genesis 8 Female(s) with the Lore add-on textures. It's one of my favorite outfits.
Thanks for the investigation. Looks too risky to me, after what we got with Dain. I only kept that bundle because of the freebies I got with it. I have enough gals already.. Every new bunch of morphs just slows down the loading of G8F. It has to be very special to tempt me now.
I'm on the fence. I was able to find offbeat freebies like a fire truck, a muscle car, and other things that I have no current need for but sometimes getting something I think I'll never use inspires me to do something different and interesting. I do really like the tattoos, and characters Camilla, Paisley & Monet which makes me think she'll mix interestingly into the gene pool. And although I'm not into the clothes at all, I'm trying to think if I could come up with something cool with shaders. I really don't need anything in my cart right now, not sure why I'm even considering it except for the fact that I'm apparently an addict...
Yeah to me both bundles just seem so so, will wait and see I suppose but I am not getting that must have vibe.. :(
Aubrey 8 looks a lot like Sydney 8.
@sevrin I agree that outfit with the high collar looks unattractive, and to me, the hair products in the pro bundle seem oily and clumpy. The double braid updo one looks cartoonish IMO, like something a 3D Universe character would wear. I'm not impressed with the style but as always, other folks may find it fits the style they want. The long french braid one tried something new with the messy part, but the way the hair integrates together just seemed a bit sloppy (look at the ash blonde shot of the back of the head- that looks like a big mess at the top backside to me.) To each his/her own, but this bundle doesn't seem to have quality that I expect to see in a Pro Bundle. And so many "Daz Originals" - hmmm.
No. If nothing extraordinary happens then no Pro Bundle this time:
- Main charater is nice. Hair is fine. But Clothing is IMO rather uninspired.
- AddOns are difficult to pick. Textures for not so interesting clothes, hmm? Other characters this time not from my favorite PAs?
- Pro Bundle + 4 AddOns & extra discount woud add up to > 70 $. Not that attractive.
- 80% discount is the same again and again. Starter Bundles where I do have Pro Bundles already.
- Free stuff is the same again and again. Does not look that new products are ever included with that list.
I like the look of Aubrey 8 herself. Nice body shape - not too young, but not quite old-er either. The main promo of her in the scarf, holding back her hair on one side, makes her very appealing - except for that jacket!! Is it meant to deform under her breasts like that?????? Wowser, that's bad.
None of the items have a vendor name other than 'daz originals' which puts me off immensely - we're familiar with vendors' works, so knowing who made something means we'll have an idea of the quality of the outfit, that you can't tell from the promos. And honestly, the promos in those outfits are turning me off big time.
The "dForce Hooded Outfit" looks interesting - but there's something about the way that hood is going over the shoulders and coat at the top that I don't like...I can't tell if it's just an unfinished simulation drape or what. And I feel the coat conforms to the breasts too much. The 'dforce Futuristic dress' is kinda groovy - would work for steampunk too. But in the very first promo on the store page, there is a very harsh deformation under her breasts, particularly noticeable on the left (as we look at it) side.
The "High Collar Outfit" - oh dear. Interesting in idea - but WAY too clingy on the breasts, that collar would mean you would be limited in posing of the head, it's not dForce, so I think you'd be VERY limited in its movements. Clothes simply do NOT sit under breasts like that. The "Long Tunic and Skirt" looks awful - like something from the V4 days. It looks like a cyclinder, with no realistic movement of the bottom of the skirt or tunic, and again, not dForce, so looks incredibly stiff.
The "double braid updo hairstyle" - no thank you. Looks bad. In the first promo, at the top of her forehead, the opacity is off and looks like it's springing from the middle of her forehead. The third pop up - the red one - look at the back of her ear...good gravy. Teh whole hair looks like solid straws. Same with the "Long French Braid" - solid ribbons or flattened straws. Terrible. Mstene's Margeux looks nice - I'm kinda over that cats eyeliner tho - but Mstene does good characters so she's a win. Camilla's very pretty but a bit too smooth looking and blemish free for me.
Teh pose packs are fine - nothing overly sexy or seductive...at least they are poses for actually DOING something, other than being a model.
I've got a weird feeling about this bundle - it honestly doesn't look like any work by vendors we know or are usually in the pro bundles. It's almost like they wanted to put another pro bundle, but nothing was made for it yet so they grabbed a few outfits and hairs that had been submitted in the normal way and decided to do that.
And yeah, it's the SAME daz originals for free. Seriously, there are thousands of DO's....couldn't we get a different selection occasionally for the "free" ones??
