    Three cheers to the vendors and Daz for making a promotion like this. This year's Pride has been quite low key with Covid, so appreciate a themed sale. Do not need all the products in the bungle, but glad they are available to those who need them :) As the others have said, "Representation Matters".

    Loved working on this and I'm happy this bundle is being received with such warmth. Happy belated pride month all! heart

    Bravo! Brava!  Thanks, this is a brilliant package

    Nice work, DAZ.

    I actually looked at one of the promo images for the transgender shapes and thought instantly of a trans writer that I know. It doesn't look exactly like her, but the character's face definitely has something of the same 'feel'. An outstanding job by the modelers and promo artists.

    This is nice. Representation is good, and it is very important that this is a Daz Original product. Sure it would be fine if this was all 3rd party, but having the Daz Original branding on them has an extra meaning and impact. This is also why people ask for this with pro bundles (and indeed Daz has improved somwhat over G8's long run, but only slightly.) Having a "official" Daz product that features diversity means more than it would as a 3rd party. It always does.

    And I think that is the next step, a true pro bundle representing LGBTQ.

    Fantastic work to the artsists and to Daz. I love this!

    Thank you for all of the feedback and positive responses, y'all. I'm really proud of what we've accomplished here smiley A lot of work went into this.

    I was mezmerized by the animation for a good minute. It took me that long to figure out I needed to scroll down the screen. So Cool! Texted a friend on Skype right away. Bundle went into my cart burning rubber. 

    In addition to great character options, poses, as I looked at the vehicles, we got another bus! Yeah. And confetti! Parties. So useful for so many things. 

    Maybe in the future a texture add-on pack for Christmas, Halloween, Military, New Year's parade floats? (Yeah I know, shaders, but, I love throwing money at the PAs.)

    Love this so much.

    Thank you for the awesome support of diversity this month.  The Pride promotion is excellent and warms my heart to see everything included.  Thank you to all who have provided the products, marketing, assistance, and art work!

    This all means a lot to me.

    I was a software engineer at a major aerospace company in the 1980s and 1990s.  During my final 8 years, I had come out at the company and championed for equal protections and benefits for my LGBTQ coworkers.  While ultimately successful with my efforts, the stress and hate that came my way convinced me to leave the company.  I never did see the benefits of all that hard work.  However, I am proud of what I accomplished and see that the company has gained a reputation for being on the forefront of diversity.

    Since then, Poser, DAZ Studio, and the DAZ products that I've added to my library have made my journey of self worth much easier.  I continue to express myself through art work, even if I no longer jump into the activist role anymore.

    So, truly, thank you from the bottom of my heart for the wonderful support for and from everyone here.  You are all awesome!

    Lee

    I love the bundle. I have been wishing for Transgender morphs for a long time and now they are finally here! I didn't expect that, I love it!

    ..wish we had these for G3.  Been struggling to create transgender characters manually.  One of the big troubles is skin textures as while there are a number of very fair toned skins for females they are lacking for males and not all are interchangeable using the G3 F <> M UV utility.

    I live on the border of West Hollywood, a major epicenter of everything pride and had no idea all those flags existed! Santa Monica Blvd. is filled with rainbows, but I've never seen the others. Which is the Asexual flag? I didn't even know that was a thing. 

    Anyhow, congrats Daz for being inclusive of all races and sexual orientations. laugh

    For the curious

    Theres oodles .. this isn't even all of them 

    I did map the flags to use a full rectangle, so in theory you should be able to pop almost any flag onto them

    You are awesome! I am already beyond ecstatic that you included the asexual flag (I was not joking earlier about tearing up), and now you've gone and made it so easy to create different ones that I can make the aromantic flag even with my questionable editing skills.

    Hearing that lots of artists sulked about getting left out of this project is honestly so encouraging. I really, really hope that does mean we'll get more official content like this in the future, I will happily buy all of it. Even just having more quality pose sets (romance, relaxation, daily life, parenting) designed for M/M and F/F couples to bypass having to tweak M/F sets would be such a godsend.

    A huge thank you to all of the artists for the work you put into this, and to DAZ for putting your stamp on it as a DO.

    I actually identify with that A on the end blush but truthfully I never have seen myself as a sexual catagory just largely an uninterested observer rather than a participant

    Well done  Daz for getting with the times  amazing to see - now  to figure out how to get a bear pride  texture on the flags and my life will be  complete  ;)

    Does anyone know which product the pink top in the promo is? I can't find it.

    Put that in your diffuse, base colour white, and Gustav's your bear.  Oh, gotta flip it vertically first because the UV is upside down.

    I made bear pride textures for both the bus and the dinghy. Problem is that there seems to be a CC BY-SA 3.0 attached to the design with the paw. So I made one without the paw. Enjoy!

    The promos for the transgender shapes really highlight the absurdity of society's double standard about showing breasts.

    *Real life* highlights the double standards about showing breasts ;)

    I've loved to see the products and even more to se these reactions to it.
