    in Australia our spiders can get pretty big and some of our small ones very deadly and they'll chase after you too had that happen to me a few times

    TBH it's only the mammals in Australia don't seem to be lethal. Even the wild Emu's seemed determined to breakfast on Human when we went to Mareeba in FNQ when we visited. Beautiful country, but having a Golden Orb spider web directly above the campsite toilet was disconcerting, to say the least. Regards, Richard.

    Something for spider lovers:

    no curled up dead pose though 

    Isn't the bottom right the dead pose? Or there's some other dead pose? (I tend to not look too closely at spiders once I douse them in the poison of choice. Especially brown recluses.)

     

    it could be

    was thinking more on back and tighter but I am not an arachnophile either cheeky 

    It is on its back, isn't it? Not that i want to study it - and spiders that cross my path tend to end up a lot flatter than that.

    Nope.  Male Platypuses are one of the rare venomous mammals, with venom inecting spurs on the back of their rear legs.  In fact, they are the most venomous mammals in the world, and the only one whose venom is dangerous to humans.  Not usually lethal, but people with weakened hearts are at risk.

    Beyond that, there are a lot of Australian mammals that are more than capable of messing up a human big time. Dingos lead the list, filling the same role as wolves and coyotes, while kangaroos and even koalas can do significant damage if riled up.  Basically, if it can survive in Australia, it's generally wise not to provoke it, no matter how cute it seems.

    Agreed. Caution is warranted. But generally the mammals are an order of magnitude less hazardous than the non mammalian residents. I suspect few would disagree that an 18ft salt water croc is.. umm.. somewhat more hazardous than a Platypus. I saw Dingoes near Ayres Rock/Uluru, and confess they didn't make the hairs on the back of my neck rise in the way they did with wolves on the Alaskan border. Regards, Richard.

    Have found an Orc brave enough to be close to this giant spider
    and watch its reactions:

    yes, I think that bottom right one is indeed dead, not just playing dead wink

    mine tend to end up squashed

    if sprayed redbacks curl very tightly 

    I catch and release huntsman spiders

    I have found a reference video about spiders.

    oh the mammals can be deadly too platypusses have a spur on their hind legs that are venomus and kangaroos are very deadly strong kick you to unlife and are are known to headlock others in their arms and drown them

    It's rare to find a store with such a complete internal structure, and it's not sold in separate parts. I really hope other stores will also release versions with such a complete structure.

    I really like the text-illustration of today's Sigrid 9:

    I wonder, if such a design is still done in PS and Illustrator, or if nowadays it is rather created by AI.

    It’s perfectly fine to like it, but there are several signs suggesting it was generated by AI. The carved ornamental look of the lettering and the intricate patterns are often the first giveaways. In practice, an artist is unlikely to be commissioned to produce that level of detailed hand crafted work for a banner that would take many hours to create yet only be displayed for a single day. And DAZ embracing AI in various forms isn’t exactly new.

    Does anybody know the outfit Darius wearing in the main promo is?

    You might want to check out the BW Rogue Marshal Outfit Add On - will likely need the BW Rogue Marshal Outfit for Genesis 9 to use it.

    Many thanks @Adela, that sounds very convincing!

    Someone should remind PA's that optimization exists for a reason, most computers aren’t running at CERN level capacities. 583k / 22 million vertices is insane. And you can only preview the hairs on the scalp in PR, not the braids or the tails. When I zoomed in to take this screenshot, Earth’s temperature went up 10ºC instantly and my CPU learned to talk.

    Great idea. I think we can have a logo too...

    I know nothing about the 'Chinese Xia (Hero) tradition', but the result looks very nice:

    Agree,  Lala-Rabbit is a very talented artist and her recent clothes sets look great.

    The ornamental patterning is also a bit odd when you zoom in: they're impressions of patterning, their edges are very hard, meaning they were drawn that way instead of lost in resizing. The celtic knotting looks slightly more like wires than vines, and the weaving is inconsistent, like, it looks woven, but it isn't. So yeah, I agree there's probably some AI going on.

    I agree and the outfit is in my cart. I do have a question for anyone that may know. How are the swords attached in the back? I can't tell from the promos and I don't want to just say 'magic'.

    It's not magic, it's qigong.(Just kidding) 

    The sword should be bound with strips of cloth from the upper garment.

    Thanks, I had bought it, but with migraines and backpain I haven't had a chance to look at it in depth. Actually haven't had a chance to play much with anything. I did read a sci-fi book where swords magnetically attach to back armor and sheaths pull up into the handles when not needed. But in ancient China, I was pretty positive that wouldn't be the case.
