    https://www.daz3d.com/dforce-bad-influence-for-genesis-9-and-8-female. I find this suit very interesting, to say the least. First, I like it, has a nice erotic sort of look. 
    BUT, I would love to see someone put this on. How does that happen, actually, in the real world. I can imagine a tangled mess or something akin to that. 

    They put it on by clicking on the clothing preset and it magically appears on their body!  Or is that not how clothes work in real life?  winklaugh

    Really cute character, but that navel could fit a ping pong ball. Her umbilical cord must have been like a garden hose.

    which hair is that by the way, does anyone know?

    It ~might~ be this hair, which does have a color option that fits the Lala promos hair & color: https://www.daz3d.com/dforce-casual-bangs-hair-for-genesis-9  
    -ETA: fixed the link; thx for the reminder, WendyLuvsCatz.

    not easy editing links on iOS but hope this works

    to avoid extra characters one should use the link icon in the forum software but I couldn't go to the hair either to use it so had to edit it just to even see what hair it was devil will find out myself after posting this

    When you paste in the URL, don't type anything else after it. Hit Enter to start a new line, then you can continue to type. That will also prevent those link-breaking extra characters from being added. Richard Haseltine taught me this trick.

    I tried https://www.daz3d.com/dforce-fe-2-in-1-curly-wetdry-strand-based-hair-for-genesis-9-8-and-81 on https://www.daz3d.com/cj-lily-8k-hd-for-genesis-9 for a tutorial render and for the first time in years I found those black artifacts on the forehead. It has been so long I can't remember what the setting was to remove them. Does anyone remember?

    I have tried every forehead and head morph slider provided with the hair and it still comes out.

    I really like the hair and do not want to return it.

    Thank you ahead of time.

    That is usually a haircap or smoothing. Does that hair contain a haircap?

    I will check that! Of course totally forgot that.

    Thank you sir.

    (was dealing with laundry.)

    That did it. Scalp ships with it on for G9, dry hair.

    There are many similar Japanese food products, but most are flat; this one is three-dimensional and has different stages.

    I had never paid attention to this artist before, but now I've added him to my favorites.

    https://www.daz3d.com/yk-dforce-traditional-taoist-robe-outfit-for-genesis-9

    Taoist robes transformed into fashion, with talismans painted on the back—I never imagined it; it's quite interesting.

    https://www.daz3d.com/dforce-petal-glow-dress-for-genesis-9-and-8-81-female

    I love the design and oriental-style patterns of this outfit; it's like a combination of a cheongsam and a Western-style dress. Lilflame's clothing generally has excellent texture and patterns.

    It's a shame that these two outfits lack transformation options for different states.

    Oh, so close with the new Japanese food items. First, what it got right: the food looks reasonably accurate, and I give big props for the extra mile of having full, half-full, and almost empty options, but there's one gaping ommision... there doesn't appear to be any way to show someone actually eating any of these dishes, as there are no seperate individual matching bits of food.  Of course, this could easily be fixed by an add-on having chopticks set or a spoon with appropriate bits of matching food, but it's been an ongoing problem with so many DAZ and Poser products over the years that I hate seeing yet another line coming out missing this basic part of the dining experience...

    This would have been a total win for me if there had just been the addition of some eating impliments with matching bits of food.  I've got some nudles that I might be able to make work fairly easily for the ramen, but finding matches for the others is going to be a real bear...

    This was my reaction: Cool. Looks amazing. Into the cart. Actually read the page. What? No individual food items. Remove from cart. Add to wishlist.

    It went from immediate buy to maybe later that fast.

    Of course, we're all probably spoiled by the dirty dishes products from GCJellyFish that are no longer in the store.

    Looks like all the food peices are separate geometry, should be easy enough to split them apart with geometry editor. I'm sure I have some free chopsticks or they were included with something else I bought. I also have Gescon, so I can play around with making bites out of the food pieces. And the price is really reasonable, its rare to see something with a base price of 12.99 these days. I'll definitely be buying this, maybe not today, but its a must buy for me at some point.

    it works well for the buy-in of the wishlist promotion today. If you have tokens a very nice bonus.

    They look great https://www.daz3d.com/japanese-food-collection-volume-1
    but they are just ready made dishes - not separate food items.

  • AsuCafeAsuCafe Posts: 506

    Given the way hot pot is eaten, this product could be offered as an add-on with individual ingredients and a pose.

    in this render it looks like each dish is big enough for many more than 1 person? Like a stew or something

    And a kotatsu, if you're really going for the full experience.

    Yeah basically. At least with oden, you have a pot with your cooked fish cakes and everybody serves themselves from it. (As a street food though it's usually served on a skewer)

  • ArtiniArtini Posts: 10,892

    Great comments.
    What do you think how man people can enjoy such dish/stew at once?
    In the description of https://www.daz3d.com/japanese-food-collection-volume-1
    it is described as:
    "Japanese Food Collection Volume 1 features six detailed Nabemono props
    —traditional Japanese hot-pot dishes, also known as one-pot dishes. 
     Each dish comes in its own pot and is ideal for Japanese home, restaurant, or izakaya scenes."

     

  • ArtiniArtini Posts: 10,892

    Ok, found it.
    A single traditional Japanese hot pot (nabe or shabu-shabu) comfortably serves 2 to 4 people at once.
    Larger groups can easily join by using multiple pots or split burners on a single table.

    When I was stationed in Taiwan, a group of us (about 9) would go to restuarants and sit for hours with a variety of dishes in the center and bowls of rice in front of us. We would select items from the center bowls and move them to our rice bowls and over those hours, slowly eat and talk and laugh and just relax after 5.5 days of work in our varied fields. This is one of my favority memories of being stationed in Asia. We had a similiar experience in South Korea too. Americans have something similar in Thanksgiving with passing the dishes and talking for hours and laughing as you catch up with family. I guess every culture has a version of this group meal.

    Hot pot always wins over everyone's stomach. Every place has its own unique style of hot pot, I like all-you-can-eat buffets. I need an add-on!

    But the next product might be japanese-food-collection-volume-2...

    There's at least one convenience store chain, Lawson, which is similar to 7-11, that sells Oden at the front counter from a steam-table type arrangement, along with meat buns, popcorn chcken, etc.  

    edt - Actually, thinking back on which convenience stores are next to the hotels I normally stay at when I'm in Tokyo, I realized that 7-11 and Family Mart also sell Oden during the winter months.

    I got some at a Circle K in Kyoto once.

    Fun fact: the food at Japanese convenience stores is actually really good.

    An add-on with individual items (and possibly chopstick poses) would be much appreciated
