    https://www.daz3d.com/polish-steampunk-explorer-transportation-bundle A beautifully crafted toy; the style is truly fantastic. I absolutely need it when creating Steampunk projects.

    That was my first thought. Then I looked closer, noticed the PA and all the artifacts and issues, and it's a hard pass for me.

    Artifacts? Issues? Could you give me a hint maybe?

    A naughtycal outfit then?

    Apparently, according to the current description (likely wrong), it's also very useful while raiding the caboose during the night:

    When the lights go out and the kitchens close, a whole miniature world comes to life. Rivalries erupt, and battles for control of the stove begin, with no rules and no mercy. But they're not soldiers, and they're not heroes. They're just fool foods.

     "When the lights go out and the kitchens close" The first line could work as well. It's the rest that's a bit... off XD

    The big ones I noticed on the boat were that 1.) the paddlewheel couldn't actually turn as the knopbs on the ends of the spokes extend so far out that the wooden decks on either side would block them and 2) while there's a wheelhouse with windows, there doesn't seem to be anyway to enter it or go below decks.  Also, the "net" is mostly solid, so it would be very difficult to raise quickly enough to catch many fish.  As for the others, the plane is simply completely un-aerodynamic, with the lifting surfaces of the wing so blocked by piping that I can't see it even getting off the ground even before all the other elements of drag are factored in.  The car... well, it would probably be drivable, depending upon what kind of engine that's supposed to be, so that one passes, I guess.  But... it is labled as steampunk, and that's not a genre that's noted for making any real-world sense.

    Their "Western Express Locomotive" a few years back would also be entirely immobile, as the connecting rods are solidly fixed to the frame.

    (I will also say that the proportions of the locomotive are wildly wrong, and the 4-6-4 wheel arrangement was not used in the USA until 1927, whereas the Old West Era is generally accepted to have ended in the early to mid 1910s).

     It's a shame the train can't move, I am very grateful that someone helped me with the detailed checks, things that I would have had a hard time noticing.

    However, it seems to be able to rotate this time.

    PSV Steampunk Vehicle
    Included Morphs:
    All Wheels Rotate
    Front Wheels Turn Left and Right
    Steering Wheel Turn Left and Right


    PSFB Steampunk Fishing Boat
    Included Morphs:
    Peddling Wheel Rotate


    PSP Steampunk Plane
    Included Morphs:
    Propeller Rotate
    Vertical Tail Wing Rotate
    Horizontal Tail Wing Rotate

    I think I knew at first glance that many of the doors and windows were immovable and there couldn't be any interior decorations. Like many other artists' houses, I instinctively called it an exquisite toy, but I couldn't confirm those details. Maybe I didn't have high expectations to begin with, after all, there aren't many artists who put effort into articulation. Speaking of errors, nine out of ten cheongsams in this store are not cheongsams at all. The button closure design is completely wrong, which is unacceptable to me.

    Thank you! I must admit I hadn't noticed the paddelwheel problem, but is was mostly the car I was (semi) interested in as a buy-in for the other offers today. I may stick with the hair or perhaps one of the cheaper dresses (which I may find some use for).

    well that really does sounds really orky then. If you know about the orks in Warhammer or Warhammer 40,000 they create build things that should not work in any sense but still do extremely well and deadly and the Waaagh helps a lot and anything painted red goes faster because they believe it to be true so this plane would be pretty cool for them

    https://www.daz3d.com/pw-bank-gold-fish Added to cart. To be honest, I've always been concerned about the "heavy" feel of PW, but now I've finally found a way to easily render these luxurious buildings.

    I love PW Productions' products, the luxury feel of them.  My story has a (not insane) billionaire, and his environment will be PW rich, but... Bank Gold Fish?  I mean, huh?  Is there some IRL financial institution this is supposed to resemble?  The fish motif looks out of place to me.  It's wishlisted, but I wonder if it's modular enough to easily change the branding?  Thanks for reading.

    Hallelujah!

    After all, it's a "golden" fish bank. PW seems to really like fish, as fish elements are frequently seen in their products. My impression of this bank is that it's a long-established bank that only caters to the wealthy. I don't know, though, since I'm far removed from the lives of the rich.

    This is the item list. The building is a single, modular structure. Several rooms are movable, but the ceiling, floor, walls, and windows are fixed. Doors, tables, chairs, chandeliers, and other items are movable.

    Is there an elevator? Or do the infirmed wealthy need to walk upstairs?

  • xyer0xyer0 Posts: 6,504

    Not only does "demure" no longer equal "demure," "very demure," now apparently connotes "vampish."

    It says "fish," but all the silhouettes are of "sharks." So, we have that unicorn of finances: The honest banker.

    The infirmed wealthy have familiar spirits to aid their ascent. ;)

    I can guess what's being implied but the UV layout of surfaces and wireframe  does suggest it was modeled  

    just likely polypainted

    Those are not sharks.  Sharks normally have one very large dorsal fin and a smaller secondary dorsal fin, and their mouths are usually underslung beneath the nose part of head rather than splitting the face right down the middle.

    Technically, Sharks are a type of Fish, so the description is correct even if it doesn't clarify things much. Regards, Richard

    Unbelievable! An office dress has been released that could actually be worn in public, probably even in an office! https://www.daz3d.com/dforce-office-style-dress-for-genesis-9

    It comes in a long version (knee length) for the office, and a shorter version.

    I have been waiting for a decent beach for all our swimsuited characters. Now we have one. Those Things' Sandy Shore. Really good. And if I recognise one of the promo images, it harks to an image used on the cover of David Brin's 'Startide Rising'. Regards, Richard.

    Agreed. It's so reasonable and usable it could almost have been made by the much missed Wilmap.

    I would have bought it instantly but for the fact that there's no part eaten or finished dirty plate options and the fries look a little plastic.

    Don't most fries taste like plastic. Just makes them look like their taste.. :( Regards, Richard.

    well like I always say the other ones that get complained about I have seen worn in real life this one not so much maybe worn by average woman house wife but they still wear the other stuff too

  • garrett_3dgarrett_3d Posts: 859

    I've seen a lot of the complained about stuff worn IRL by people that really shouldn't have worn it, let alone have it in their wardrobe surprise

    I compare all food items to GCJellyFish assets. Quick meal isn't bad. But it isn't in GCJ's realm.

  • garrett_3dgarrett_3d Posts: 859

    I have GCJ's Dirty Dishes and expansion, they are awesome quality for what is, in most uses, a minor or background item.
