    These rapid fire releases have finished me off. I had to back away. It's out of control.

    She reminds me -- very slightly -- of Dichen Lachman. Can anyone else see a resemblance, or am I just hallucinating again?

    Yeah, I can see that a little bit.

    I like Kayo herself, and Togata hair. The rest of the bundle is fine, just not particularly for me.

    Her HD is ... odd. Normally, if the hand details aren't there, the rest of the HD addon will be fairly undefined. In this case, everything BUT the hands gains from the HD. Weird.

    Including animations in a bundle is distinctly unusual. Also gives ThreeDigital their first public credit (for the moment, anyway.)

    Interested to see if animation pose sets become more common in bundles.

    thanks for that @DisparateDreamer. I tend to avoid dForce hairs - mainly cos of the simulation time, but also because the textures always look a bit...."fuzzy"...to me. Nice to know the hair will work without dForceing.  

    The hair? 2 loose athlete-type hairs, not really styled for a night on the town... and with dForce only in the bundle? Like, who even deals with dForce hair simulations?
     

    I have to point out that Chevybabe's hair is INCREDIBLY well made. It has morphs for posing without simming for those of us who don't have the machines or the time to simulate. ;) That's why i pass up most dforce hair, but i definitely have all of Chevybabe's hair. my 9 year old beast of a machine really struggles these days but for that hair...worth it :) I cant wait for a new computer (the computer tech told me a 'potato would be better than my graphic card"  XD 

     

    Togatta hair doesn't require simulation either. It comes with preset styles. Simulation is entirely optional.

    I thought she looked like Mei Lin 8 (face only), but looking at the clay renders in their HDs, they look very different. Mei Lin 8 has a weaker jawline and smaller lips.

    Might pick up Kayo later, I like the look of her body.

    Which day was the two items day? I thought I had bought two items then, but perhaps I didn't

    I bought the drone taxi and the iray reshader that day...I think it was the  4th of july?

    Thanks, jakiblue. Hard to work out what I should have done that I didn't.

    Oh well

    I've raised to Daz re the inconsistency in purple banners (some people getting 2, some only 1, despite ticking all the same criteria), so we'll see what happens with that. Obviously, I won't publish their response here in the forums as they ask that we don't do thatheart But just letting people know it's been flagged.

     

    I really like Kayo -- I definitely see a slight Mei Lin similarity as @MimicMolly has raised but I like that laugh Mei Lin's older sister who is a MMA prize-fighter and their traditional parents don't know how to feel about that, haha. She's got a really realistic body shape and I loooooooooooooooove her unique facial freckles. Excited to see some renders!

    Anyone else having issues with dForce Dark Match Hair?
    As soon as I load it, it seems to use so much VRAM that my System always falls back to CPU (2x 2080TI with memory pooling active).

    Now, for those getting two banners, do both apply or just one?  

  • SCAR.....he went a way too soon. (I know he was a whole week) I had a nice cart full, and he is gone from sale. Kayo is an interesting character but not a wrestling fan....so probably will pass to wait to get a great sale just on her...

    Both banners were applied for me.

    What is the final bundle price with the 2 banners combined? I'm terrible at math

    Here are a couple of my fun renders ;-)
    Emrys and I teamed up for her!

    In the days before the Iron Shiek, Rowdy Roddy Piper, and the rest of the comedy wrestling genre, any female wrestlers were considered comedy attractions as it was consider ridiculous and uncouth female behavior. 

    And this is the 1st animation product I've seen with a pro bundle so I think it says DAZ is serious about getting animation working as good as the other competitors, it's take take is all.

    Also they have some makeup options, sort of like some of those old wrestler masks, actually more Japanese style on the stylized Teah 8, similar to the male skin material set recently released call Alexei that was an addon for the Scar Pro Bundle.

    I'd like to buy today but will have to wait, actually quite a while as my PC+ expires 27 Jul. Maybe next PC+ sale extravaganza. I'm happy with this pro bundle.

    I am a PC+ member and got both banners. Here is my math:

    Bundle base cost = $66.13
    in Cart = $42.32 so first 20% took off 13.22, second 20% took off 10.58
    Bundle went down to $29.62
    I used my PC+ coupon and further brought it down to $26.02
    I have the HD add-on, an expression pack, and two DO/PA characters, one texture set add-ons along with two PA characters in my cart.
    My total cart price is $97.29 but that will go down after taxes are adjusted.

    Hope that helps.

    Somebody with both banners can confirm exactly, but calculation would be:

    Original price (with the new release 51% off) = $66.13

    20% off $66.13 = $56.08 

    Another 20% off the $56.08 price = $47.56

     

    Then, if you go all in for the +4 add-ons, that's another 30% off the $47.56 so you finish at bundle price of approx $35.29 (NOT total cart price, e.g not including the price of the add-ons)

    EDIT: Seems it's going to $29 for people, so I'm missing a reduction somewhere lol

    Well that's nice...bought two things I could have waited on just to get the banner...for a bundle I couldn't be less interested in. Character is fine and well-made...facially she's one of the more realistic characters I've seen in terms of eyes, etc...but oy, wrestling? *sigh* Only thing I want is Redz new hair.

    I did get two banners...have no idea if they stack. Testing for folks in the thread...bundle by itself comes up $42.32 (including the fact that I'm PC+). Bundle plus four cheapest add-ons comes to $53.33 ($29.62 for the bundle itself). 

    Sidenote - absolutely against putting animations into a pro bundle. Not everybody does animations. Waste of a pro bundle slot...wouldn't even install it.

    I just did this myself (and posted in the Sales thread):

    On the surface, it appeared that the Kayo 8 still wasn't working, but I can honestly say that it is spot on:

    $134.95 Sticker
    -30% (New Release) and -30% off (Platinum Club)
    Comes out to $66.13, just like the menu page shows.

    -30% off (4 Add ons), -20% off (2 New Releases over the weekend), -20% off (We know you're a pro email)
    Comes out to $29.62, just like my cart shows.

    So my gut was wrong.

    --

    For those not onboard with the set, I have to say that almost all of the items would also fit for Superhero and Sci-Fi settings. Since that is pretty much what pro-wrestling embraces.

    I am also expecting there will be male counterpart in a couple of days / weeks.

    An animation can always be used as a sequence of poses, just scrub through the Timeline to find the one you want (assuming the basic subject matter is of interset, of course).

    @JeniMorris, Your character was one of the PA products I bought. Loved the work and the team-up you and Emrys did.

    On a note about the theme, I actually 'hate' wrestling' real and fake, but, I looked at the characters and the other items. I am always on the lookout for female characters that look like they can actually hold a weapon, much less run and shoot one, or jump over obstacles. The ladies in this bundle do. Think Marines, Army, Police, EMTs, or any profession that requires muscular development. Gymnastics anyone? Swimming? And they are Asians! That is an ethnic group that has been requested for a long time. 

    Thank you Daz for listening to many of our requests.

    Awe thank you! I was so excited to be able to team up with Emrys- his morph he did for Kayo 8 is just beautiful

    I like her and her hair. Nice to see a buff female figure who is actually buff. I would love a male wrestling set in the same vein.

    I guess because I do animations and often pick out a frame that looks good for an image, this was more obvious to me than some!

    Like a photographer taking continuous shots then picking the good ones

    Well, if I get the bundle, I'll try it.

    I don't even install dForce hair these days unless it's for Dog 8, which I also never simulate. A few bad simulations have left me a little less enthusiastic for the "dForce all the things" strategy.

    I think it was July 5? The page definitely was still saying 20% off next bundle when I made the purchase because someone else had mentioned it, so I checked before making a qualifying purchase.

    If anyone wants to correct me on that, IDC. I definitely don't have the 2nd discount, so of course I could be wrong, but I sincerely doubt it.
    I don't know that I'm likely to buy the Pro Buindle either way. At this point, I don't feel like making the (minimal) effort to open a ticket.

    Love the bundle - having a hard time not throwing all of the add-ons in the cart. Very nice to see a bundle theme that's unique.
