Like the look of Addy Collette https://www.daz3d.com/addy-colette-and-expressions-for-genesis-9 and her make up so might splash the cash on her, does anyone know what the hair and top is from the promo image?
I think the jumper is a gen 8 item from a set but darned if i can remember what it was
Could it be https://www.daz3d.com/dforce-hunter-outfit-for-genesis-9? It is on the Flash Sale scroll bar right now.
No sadly its not that i have it i already :) I thought it might be by Esha but not from what i can see.
Unusual for me: actually excited over a new release! That pregnancy morph package is badly needed, consdiering how the belly for the slider dial tends to distort and crumple if you bend the character at all (Now maybe we can have a good-lookin' baby to go with it?)
I need to point out one error with https://www.daz3d.com/maternity-props-and-poses-for-pregnancy-morphs-and-materials-for-genesis-9, though: It says it comes with positive and negative options for the pregnancy test, but the two pictured are both positive. Any line at all is positive. In fertility communities, that top one is known as a "faint positive," the sort of thing one is more likely to get testing a few days before an expected period (or possibly on or even a week later, depending on when implantation occurred). (Source: my kids were hard to come by, and not all of them stayed. I could probably teach a class at this point.) So if the PA doesn't make an update, you'll need to go into the texture file and edit out that faint line if you want your test to be negative.
ETA: if the PA is reading this, it would be cool to keep the two that are already there but add a third that's a negatve, so folk can have variations for early/late testers as well!
Regarding pregnancy, Olivia 9 also has a pregnant shape: https://www.daz3d.com/olivia-9-hd
No idea how it compare to the newly realesed morphs though.
About the baby, someone released a free morph for Caryn (if you have Caryn):

Unfortunately with Olivia's pregnant shape, it looks like you have to dial the entire body in to get it. That'd mess up the custom character(s) I have that would need it. Having a separate bump is far more versatile.
Thanks for the heads up for Anne! I'll pick her up for some diversity, but I'm still looking for an actual baby of the newborn vintage. There's a age adjusting utility for G8 that goes that low, and I keep hoping one will come out for G9 soon so I can use all my alteration utilities on it, but a quality standalone G9 infant would be welcome, too.
It's adding weight all over the body (only the top of the head is not modified by it), so if you want to fine-tune the pregnant look of your character, the new product looks like a better buy.
Yeah, and I like the customizable midsections. Not all baby bumps are the same shape, so it gives me more to work with.
This creature is amazing...
Really liking https://www.daz3d.com/koo-esmee-hd-for-genesis-9 - she has just the look I was after for one of my characters that's been sitting on the sidelines waiting for an avatar. Anyone know offhand what hair's in the main promo pic?
Annunakis looks like an interesting set, but I almost missed it, because the main promo in the thumbnail is almost exclusively muddy green with only interesting detail covered by "new" and "30% off" labels. Sadly, the rest of the promos look somwhat unappealing too, and I feel like they might not give the product justice.
Same for Mandala Chapel. The promo image looks okay-ish, but the rest looks dark and unenticing.
Also, is it me (or my settings), or did the labels become bigger and the icons smaller on the sales page?
I feel like the labels have been taking up more real estate, and I don't think I changed my settings? Annoying, because a lot of time you can't really see what the product is until you click.
Worse yet @SilverGirl, I skip over so many products because of the tiny bit I can see turns me off. I can't think of what it is, but you alerted me to one this week that I missed initially and when I went back, I looked at it carefully and bought it. But I never would have because of the labels masking the product. Thank you for that.
But another issue I am having trouble with is 'dark on dark' promos or tip images. I have cataracts forming and I have found I cannot able to discern shades of deep greys/browns/blacks blending together. If it is an outfit and there are materials, I can look at them. But if the outfit has that one texture and it is rendered on a dark background, it is a nightmare. I look for the clay render or the one with the lines (can't remember correct name) to give me an idea. If I still have no idea, I pass. A set, prop, whatever, well I pass it by. This could also be with 'white on white' images. I have them in my runtime, and I find I avoid using them. Too hard to figure out what it is.
Glad to be of service!
And I'm with you on the dark-on-dark promos, and I don't even have your vision issues. I get that PAs are trying to be moody or dramatic or something, but frankly I just want to see what it is I'm buying. I don't need a mood. Whatever it is, it's probably going in a well lit kitbash anyway.
Oh I agree so much with this. I just want clear pictures of what is for sale. I don't mind a couple showing me the product used by a gifted artist but I do need to also see the product, plain and simple. I pass many fairly interesting-looking products simply because the promos don't show the product to me clealy enough.
I am a sucker for Victorian house models. Today's "FN San Street" is very much up my street, so to speak.
Feng has got the look pretty much perfect. These are Higher Quality middle-Middle class Victorian housing. The sort of house that someone living in "Northern Terrace Street" would have aspired to get at the end of their career. The next step up the terrace house ladder up from NTS is missing, a terrace house with a ground floor bay window and eyebrow roof over the width of the house just below the upstairs windows - as below:
Also missing are the worker's cottage type terrace house - the smallest type of owner occupied housing normally available in the Victorian period (and lots was rented accomodation), without bay window or front garden - as below:
Anyway, back to FN San Street: The bricks all look a bit pristine, as if not yet built, and my experience suggests that the colours are all a bit too orange, however it is a very creditable effort at modelling a Higher Quality middle-Middle class Victorian terrace. The greatest issue wit FN San Street is the uniformity between the houses. Even when built, it was fairly unusual for every house to be identical, and after a very short period of time the owners tended to put in little distinguishing features for their house - say a door knocker, different colour door, different colours on the woodwork or moulded tops to the bay window pillars etc. . That's all something that can be dealt with by the user, if needed.
If the streets in my local town are anything to go by, at one end of the street you could have FN San Street and at the other end NTS, and it would be a realistic mix of housing standards, though more often there would be eyebrow bay window roof type houses between the two ends.
I like.

Richard
FN San Street houses look more Edwardian to me rather than Victorian. There is a bunch of near identical homes to those close to where I live in London. They all date to around the 1910s. The bay windows and triangle dormers are very typical of the Edwardian style.
Maybe you are right. The brick pillars in the bay windows seem to have been more common in the Edwardian period. Hadn't thought of that.
When we lived in our last house, we lived in the house of the street's developer. He built his own eyebrow roof house as the second in the street in 1898, the first being 1897.
After that he built the rest of the street, and used the clay from the gardens to make the bricks for the street in large brick clamps - the town used to make millions of bricks a year and supply yellow stocks to London. The poshest four houses, which are very similar to the FN houses except for using cast concrete pillars in the bay windows, were built in 1901 to 1904 (so could be called 'Vicwardian' I suppose.). Lower down the same street were NTS houses from 1900 to 1903. Building stopped in 1904 until our nextdoor neighbour's house was built as the last house in the street in 1912, and is actually an older design, looking more like an 1890's double fronted 'villa' in a street of terrace style houses (some of which, like ours, were built as detached houses using the terraced house design). The 1912 house had brick pillars in the two bay windows, though.
I really don't think house fashions changed a lot between late Victorian & Edwardian times & from what I've seen, the styles seem to merge. I think the developer of our street was pretty conservative in what he built, so could have been out on a limb building what he wanted. The inside of our house had a lot of Victorian decorative bits (turned bannister rails, angel face corbels in archways and fancy cast iron fireplaces). Externally all the houses had decorative ridge tiles and fancy chimney pots - with the NTS houses having pots with a couple of decorative rings rather than more expensive surface decorated ones. Our one surviving Victorian pot had protruding circular bumps and S shaped incised decorations. The houses with bay windows (except the 1912 one with brick pillars) all had cast concrete pillars in the bays, and there were four designs of pillar used in the street. All pillars were superficially similar but not quite the same. Not many houses had the same design of pillar on the left & right of the bay (ours was one that didn't). I think the developer must have bought a job lot of cast pillars and used whichever were closest to the house being built.
At the bottom of the road, the ground was built up with a 2ft thick layer of clinker, ash and waster bricks around the area where the brick clamps had been. Above that level, the gardens were about 3-4ft lower than the natural land level where the brick clay had been taken out. The proportion of ash in the built up ground wasn't as high as it might have been, because adding a proportion of ash to the bricks is what turns a 'Brick' into a weather resistant 'Stock Brick'. The waster bricks come from the edge of the clamp where the bricks didn't get hot enough, or they were just above the coal level in the clamp where they got too hot and partly melted. Our house had a fair few stock bricks where the yellow on the outside was about 3/4" thick and the core of the brick was an overbaked grey-black and so hard chiseling into them created sparks.

Richard
Obviously Victorian covers a much longer time period than Edwardian, and early Victorian styles are quite different than the latter years, which, as you said, merges with Edwardian. Naturally architects did not all rush out to design new types of buildings after a change of monarch, and as such Era names based on the names of kings/queens of the time are just a convienence.
The Victorian/Edwardian road is nice, but I'm more intrigued by the Misty Forest. I gravitate toward more fantasy, sci-fi and horror themed stuff so it's definitely my bag, baby.
I was disappointed that we didn't get a core character release with a bundle, but at least the new stuff today is interesting enough where I can get 3 and take advantage of the Build A Bundle. In all fairness, I have more than enough models and a lot of times I'm after the extra stuff than the figures. Welp, I get to use my tokens today!
Edit: You can't use tokens with this promotion. Now that's a disappointment.
I really like the new 3dU figure, Morgan (https://www.daz3d.com/morgan-female-character-for-genesis-9), she's got a fun vibe about her. Am hoping that the bundle with her clothes and hair that this PA usually does will drop later, as I mean to get it. 3dU stuff is always so nicely lightweight, And I think they're a bit like an antidote to all the busty sexy women in the store.
Oh, the new hair by Second Circle also looks really really sweet, I just wish the hairline was done a little less severely. But I think this can be fixed. The retro praids are absolutely gorgeous. Here:https://www.daz3d.com/cs-florence-hair-for-genesis-9.
The design of these houses in the FN SAN street, with the party walls extending above the roof tiles, was very common in London. It was done to reduce the risk of a fire in one house spreading to adjacent houses. I think this was a requirement of building regulations for the London area, although there were similar examples elsewhere, for example Birmingham.
I do like the clothes and the hair.
Is this hair strand based or polygon based?
Older dforce hairs by this vendor used to be polygon based and in fact simulated quite quickly without errors.
About the charcters, they are clearly girls and boys, barely older than 9 years.
If the product name is ".. with dForce" then it should be some kind of geometry with dForce (cloth) applied, not dForce strand-based hair..
is it just me? Or do the biblical clothes all look as they need a good iron like one Nativity Play I watched where they just dug out last year's costumes?

not really a critcsism as most 3D clothes are stiff like cardboard more an overcompensation maybe?
I was looking through the new items this morning and.. ALO Kasia hair. Looks incredible. I must admit I was astonished that it's traditional conforming hair, no resort to SBH. The range of realistic blonde colours is huge too. Not quite so wowed by the ginger colours, but they are better than most - my eldest daughter is ginger and it's a really hard colour to capture.

I'm more struck by how very old they made Joseph look.
Must admit from the little i know of religious art makes me think Marys clothes are very wrinkly would deforce fix them? the set has potential.
I just didn't think homespun fabrics used back then creased so much, silks maybe but the looms used those days didn't have a huge thread count
That said, Google suggests wrinkled linen was considered OK through the ages, even a status symbol as it shows it's fine linen
I think he was old and her uncle too
