    Ho hum, nothing special. Pity she doesn't look human.

     

    In the last promo, she coudl easily pass as Giselle 7 : )

     

     

    I think she fits into the genepool nicely. Propack is blah though for my needs, so deciding what to do. I can tell some people like the gear in the collection, but it's stuff I never use so might just get the shape to have something to blend with the taller shapes.

     

    OK its only 2 dollars more to get teh pro bundle over just the shape and the two hairs, so for 2 bucks all that fluff is worth having in the collection.

  • Also, remember, she blends quite nicely with other characters. Her head can always be shrunk down, if preferred. She is great for making shorter/petite characters with blended morphs. They don't necessarily have to be teens.

    Hmm, is it just me or does her navel look a tad odd? I mean I know some people have outies, but this... I think someone might have forgotten to zero out the navel before sculpting the morph, maybe?

    EDIT: Image removed. Looks like false alarm...blush

    Might need to send in a support ticket for that one. That is....odd.

    Could not resist sale price for the bundle. Below is an iray render of Teen Josie (on the left)

    and Mary (on the right) from http://www.daz3d.com/llola-s-lovely-ladies

    with head shape of Teen Josie set to 100%.

    I think she will be good to mix with the other shapes available for Genesis 3 Female.

    Maybe I'm the only one, but I think Teen Josie looks downright scary in the Promo pictures (Character and Starter Bundle). Based on these pictures I would only buy her if I intended to do some horror stuff.

    Scary? : D

    By the way I think I am going to have to agree here with the fake tan look.

    The difference in skin tone on her face vs her neck, torso and legs is HUGE here.

    Looks at the 9th promo picture where she is sitting on the ground,

    See how her legs are this pale pink tone and her torso and arms look as if she just smeared some bronzer all over them?

    And then again her face has that pink pale look.

     

  • Does this character have gens? The product pages for all 3 packages don't list.

    DAZ never includes Gens with teen characters.

    Agree, should help get more variety.

  • I don't like her. Skin looks the usual Gen 3 brown and yellow . Face looks odd and toony almost alien big eyes and big head. Perhaps manga-fusion.

    Not my taste at all, sorry.

    What did you think of Skyler?

    That is strange.  She's not doing that for me.  On the other hand, I found that she's changing shape when some (but not the majority) of poses are applied... but the same thing happens to Karen 7, so I was assuming it was a problem with the poses.

    I think Skyler looks scary. Like some kind of half human / half pig creature lol

    Or is it half man, half bear-pig?

    Thanks for the reply. Indeed the figure was posed. I will do some more testing before I report anything to see where this originates from.

    OK thanks, I just was curious because when you say scary that is who came to mind. If you thought she looked normal and not Josie I would have been confused. But makes sense to me.

    I think I'm the only one who found that character creepy. She gets tons of praise and I don't see it. I really did like that PAs earlier stuff though, the more toony characters.

    Sorry, I seem to have confused you. I wasn't the person who made the original comment about Josie 7 looking scary. I was just chiming in smiley.

    Well even though I said I wouldn't buy G3 stuff I was tempted till I found out that I have no where near enough cash, dumb Aussie dollar is in the toilet right now so even with a cart value of $45 USD that blows out to about $64 AUD..  Ah well get her at another sale some time 10 years from now..

    Also not sure how people are getting $28 for the pro bundle I cant get it below $31 and if I add 3 Full Throttle items the pro bundle price goes up not down..

    are you pc member ghostly? cause us members get extra discounts plus we have the $6 off daz origionals coupon then there is also if you add another item from the sale you get another bonus discount as well as the revup bonus, yeah I'm an Aussie too so I'm guessing roughly add an extra $20 on that price at least still a great deal for a brand new release pro bundle with or without discounts but after much debating myself might miss it as the stuff looks good don't really have a use for teens and yes like I said before and others have/would say could age her up over 18 to early 20's but still -- And there are at least one product coming out in this sale I really want and more use to me and may cost so there's that as well other stuff may be more useful to me in the stuff I do may get discounts on in sale And then there is HIM M7 may come out during this sale or may not and more than likely they'll be something really special offered maybe like this deal for TJ

    Thats for clarity. I didn't notice the stealthy ninja action there :)

    Well, she looks nice. I think Josie 6 looked sort of prettier, but Josie 7 seems to have more distinct facial features which is nice. Would be nice if after 4 new characters DAZ finally dared to step a millimeter out of their comfort zone and release a character with a different skin tone. I also like almost nothing from the Pro Bundle. Well I do like the types of items.

    I don't see the point, but hopefully the people who like this kind of thing are happy with her.

    This pro bundle does have a tanned girl. Which is neato. Not sure if she's any good though as I haven't downloaded the pack yet.(edit, thinking about it, this is one of those PA partnerships where I have a few products of theirs that I really like. I like their style a lot, so for me she probably will be useful. They don't do hyper realistic stuff, they do softer more stylized characters a lot. They tend to be very pretty but maybe not for everyone because of the style.)

    I could see her being a decent base for a stylized or even toon character with the right morphs. Also some of the expressions seem to show she could age well and be an adult too. So thanks to DemonicaEvilius, Silver for their efforts. (BTW Asobi is still my fave!)

    Those numbers I stated are with the PC+ and the $6 deduction active. 

    What is in my cart is

    Capsces Goth Punk Teen Josie 7

    Teen Josie 7 Pro Bundle

    Detention Outfit for Genesis 3 Female(s)

    If I add in another Full Throttle Item the Pro Pack price goes up not down so it is not worth adding in another item from that promo..

    Either way I don't have the $64 to pony up for what I want so will wait for another sale in the future..

    Greetings,

    nicstt said:

    This made me laugh, however

    "just what a girl teen needs for a night out hanging friends or for a first date!

    from: http://www.daz3d.com/abigail-outfit-for-genesis-3-female-s

    Seriously she looks older than I'd expect someone to look on their first date.

    "A first date" not "her first date".  As in the first time she's going out with a particular person, is how I read that.

    Anyway, I love her look, I'm just bummed out that I'm on a business trip and can't spend some time rendering right now. :(

    ...and with the sale and my PC coupon, the Pro bundle price just can't be beat. O_o!  I even bought some clothing textures (for the above outfit, in fact), and the one-piece bathing suit.

    I'm really not a fan of the massive sharp makeup line along her jaw even on the base material, and the dance leotard really doesn't like to play nice with her crotch or smoothing options (at least on the dance sitting pose I ran into a lot of trouble trying to make it either actually cover her crotch or not take over her thigh) but otherwise yay?

    Cool, but that pony tail needs gravity.

    Pony tail scorns any need for gravity and has decided to embark on a solo career as an astronaut. Also it was a 2 minute test of the new things; I didn't really change much. Although I could see it moving like that if she suddenly threw her body back like that, seeing as it started out resting on her shoulder.
