    .. No humans are not orange juice and cannot be concentrated.

    Did you try?

    ;o)

    Makes me think of the joke with the model and the OJ carton.

    CHEERS!

    Concentrate used to be my favorite expression. I dislike that it is called concentrated instead of concentrate.

    It is such an obvious typo but the expression also has changed which sucks. No humans are not orange juice and cannot be concentrated.

    But, if you look at a lot of the Daz characters, they render kind of orange...and if you put a lot of them together, tightly packed in your scene...wink

    I thought the typo was "Compatible Figures: Genesis 3 Male".

    Concentrated is actually a perfectly acceptable past tense form of concentrate, and as such is perfectly applicable to people. For instance "I concentrated on breathing normally" or "She concentrated on the task before her"

    Sure. Concentrated sounds odd when mixed with present tense. Not sure why the change but it sounds odd in conjunction with angry, flirty, etc.

    Oh yeah the way its mixed in sounds a bit odd for sure. Most of them are adjectives, delighted, dejected, furious etc. and then you get... Magnetism? Dreaming?

     

    Concentrated is weird, because it can be an adjective but generally when in conjunction with people its a past tense verb (technically  a sentence like "she is too concentrated on winning" is grammatically correct and concentrated is technically an adjective, well participle acting as adjective) I love english grammar, mostly because it seems like most of the rules were decided on while drunk.

     

    Magnetism is just.. what does magnetism look like?

    Yeah if you're going to change it, concentrating or concentration would feel more natural (but why change it?)

    If you wanted an adjective to match angry flirt etc then you'd use concentrative which I don't think I've ever heard anyone use. Concentrated as an adjective does suggest that concentrated orange juice (which is bad for you anyway) comes from squeezing genesis 3 default iray people to get their juices out.

    "She is too concentrated on winning" sounds awful to me. "She is too focused on winning" sounds much nicer.

    English is great: the more you learn about it the less you understand it or how anyone ever possibly learned it, especially as a second language (mind you, people speaking it as a second language tend to do better than many speaking it as a first these days, but you know.)

    I'm not saying it actually sounds good, just that it is technically correct (which we all know is the best type).

    Personally I think concentrated fits better in the list than concentrating and concentration, as most of the words in the list are acting as adjectives, whereas concentrating is mostly a verb (it can also be  used as as a present pariciple and act as an adjective, but its even more awkward than concentrated) and concentration is a noun.

     

    I do totally agree that focused sounds nicer. That would probably be my vote for what the best change to "Concentrated" would be. But I think its less a grammar thing and more usage. focused sounds better because that is what we are used to to saying and hearing.

    Concentrate was one of the few "serious tough" expressions I used to be able to use that just made a person look tough and focused. In general the eyes are a bit too wide for a lot of mature male and female figures so adding concentrate gave a certain focus that I liked. Unfortunately the new pose isn't like the gen 2 pose.

    magnetism sounds a lot like the charisma dial. I'll have to boot it to see. My guess is  a cheesy game show host smile.

    The angry man is angry.
    The focused man is focused.
    The concentrated man is concentrated. -squish-

    It was, at least that was what I picked up on.

    Just noticed that the Olympia 7 HD add-on doesn't say that you need the figure itself. Obviously it does, but the ads usually say so.

    CHEERS!

    ?

     

    What it doesn't have is an artist, meaning no usual Daz PC+ discount nor a new release discount to go with the buy something for 75% off.

    They must have updated it because it definitely didn't say that when I last looked at it. Good catch.

    CHEERS!
