    Has anyone tried her out in DS 4.8 yet? I'm wondering if there are legacy materials for her or if the materials look good in 4.8 by default?

    She does include legacy materials, though by default the 4.9 materials load with the character. 

    Thanks for the confirmation. I've already bought her, so glad to hear this.

    Something that hasn't been mentioned... I read it in the promo but thought I was seeing things until I actually just checked it myself: Izabella uses the default UVs O.O

    Actually I mentioned it already wink. But yes, its a very good thing!

    You made the edit after I'd read your post :p Also I posted a screenshot the page before stating that I'd clicked on the 4.8 legacy textures for Iray~ 

     

    Now that I'm doing tests with the four characters, I'm liking Madelyn a lot more than I thought I would from initially looking at her promos.

    Fair enough wink. Oh I didn't see your post, the forum must have taken me past ones I hadn't read yet...

    I think Madelyn is gonna be my favourite too. Might have to slant her eyes up a little, but otherwise she looks great.

    And the outfits are all very nice, yes; unfortunately, I've got more month than creditcard left, so even if it is a good deal, I'm only getting the base figure for now.

    If I do get Izabella Pro, I'll have to borrow from Peter to pay Paul (DAZ) and then I'll have nothing left for anything else released this month. But I'm strongly leaning that direction...

  • Wow. Color me impressed: a really nice, stylized-looking female figure, little to no overdone generic fantasy and sci-fi skimpwear crap, low-to-no heels, and great hair?

    Man, if I had a use for her, I'd totally splurge. I guess I'll just have to get some of the clothes/hair piecemeal, but hmmm...

    Either way, well done, Daz and PAs!

    She does look decent,  they put a lot of work into her to make her wardrobe sensible, but this one's going to be a pass for me. Josie, Izzy and soon Julie? With no boys in sight not going to happen.

  • Quinn looks fantastic. About the large head, that tends to give proportions for younger people (assuming the torso v. legs ratio is correct). Could probably resize the entire figure down a little and be fine (and/or adjust the height). Pro bundle and a few other things is going into the cart. Wish they had gift cards on sale :) Woah! Nice discount with PC+ and the March Madness sale. Nice!

     

     

  • I like her, she's got that Velma vibe going one for anyone that's seen the Scooby Doo cartoons. 

    A blend of Velma and Daphne, in my opinion. wink

    I really like her and the two characters, into the cart it went. Great work from all involved. yes

    Now that she's out (and she's cute, don't get me wrong...) are we done with the caucasian females now? I'm REALLY hoping for some other ethnicities. Would be REALLY nice. Male and female please :).

    I get that it's an age proportion image thing, but it's quite odd considering she's much taller than Josie but has a noticably larger head. Josie and Arabella are good heights, but the others are so over the top so they look odd together. Izabella looks like she's been scaled up to match the other giants.

    I really like her and the two characters. I'm not sure what the point is of her release and especially at this time, I mean with Guy and Girl 7 + Star, is Daz on a Stylized/toon kick? Much rather would have liked to seen Mei lin, Lee, Aiko (I know, she's stylized), or some other real world character at this time, and during MM would have been x-tra sweet, but I like her. In the cart went the Base figure. I guess Giselle was not good enough that we neeed another one. Me and the wife could find no need whatsoever for any of the other items because they are essentially needles in a giant hay-stack. The winter clothes we ok, but it's a bit late to think about winter renders for us. The PA's of course did a wonderful job, cheers to everyone involved. The one clothing item does look like the girl from scooby-doo, unfortunately even as a child I thought her and her clothes looked, errr, rather odd, and those clod-stompers she wore? Nah no use for the clothing there but it's nothing against the PA. Great work from all involved. yes

    Julie and Mei Lin should be next, theoretically. Mei Lin fills the real world and different ethnicity checkboxes, although I don't think one toon and one character that can be stylised or made real world really counts as "on a kick" when basically all of the previous ones were real world characters. 

    The past few characters have all had male counterparts, so there's still a chance of Izabello 7 next week (or Jayden/Justin, though might just be Julie to get the teens out of the way?) not having a matching boy is a bit weird.

    I'm kind of suprised we have Teen Josie, Izabella, and then a Teen Juile on the way. Seems like one too many female teens, though the pro bundle is pretty good and it seems Izabella may be a replacment for Gissele (sp?) which does seem like a good move.

  • lx_2807502lx_2807502 Posts: 2,996

    My guess would be that Izabella is meant to replace Giselle as a fae but also have the range of being a teen (scooby doo outfit etc.) There are already way too many bell type names around though so I'd have preferred an alternative name.

    Teen Josie and Teen Julie in the same generation still annoys me, namingwise (Teen J---e 7!) I'm fine with 3 teens because they tend to get great clothing sets in their bundles that are actually designed for humans, but 3 girls and no boy is weird. I don't really see what niche Julie will fit that Josie doesn't already, but we'll see~

    Also still want a traditional princess style character.

    True that. Nice advantage there. I look forward to Mei lin 7.

    Ya I kind of make a joke of that. smiley  Oh; thats one toon and two stylized/toon (Girl and Guy 7) uless you count them as one. cheeky

    I'm counting Girl/Guy as one because of all the paired female+male releases that have been going since G3M was released.

    I'd prefer a proper Giselle too, but Josie and Izabella both come with faerie ears, Iza also has some similar makeups to Giselle and an actual faerie (Madelyn) so I wouldn't be surprised if she's meant to replace her. Who knows.

    Going by recent releases there should be a teen male next Tuesday but there never seem to be male hints slipping out the way female ones do so no information on the existence of one.

    I just picked up the base Izabella 7 - odd that she has files in "Genesis 3 Female -> Shapes" as I don't think I've seen a base figure have files there before? 

  • lx_2807502lx_2807502 Posts: 2,996

    Also new that there are no related Izabella followup products on the day after her release (I don't care what the email says about life with Izabella; she does not own a Manhattan apartment.)

  • jakibluejakiblue Posts: 7,281

    Ah. Has anyone who has her rendered her in iray yet? What are your thoughts? I feel she is ...missing a certain quality. 

  • Wait a minute... a big-haired Thelma look-a-like and... Quinn... ha!. Okay, I get it.

    That was subtle, good one. Quinn was easily the best character in the show, she had all the best lines, and best scenarios.

    Izzy 7's hand and feet default mats are lovely too, really good job there.

    What is she missing that is specific to Iray?

  • ToyenToyen Posts: 2,040

    By the way, could the lady in the main promo of this product http://www.daz3d.com/flair-outfit-for-genesis-3-female-s be Mei Lin 7?

    She is listed as supported morph and I don't think I've seen this asian lady before.

    She could be; Mei Lin 7 is listed and she does look somewhat remeniscent of ML6.

    Looks good too.

    Well spotted.:)

    I started one last night, it's not finished. I didn't see anything that I felt was odd with her in relation to Iray, I'll have to take a really good look.

  • jakibluejakiblue Posts: 7,281

    To clarify, not "missing' as in "she's missing a leg"...more...she just does not seem to be up to the quality of the other iconic 7 line, At all.

    So then I'm not crazy. *grin* I can't put my finger on it, and I can't come up with "technical" terms, but ...yeah.

    Yeah, I got that, but I did a bunch of close up tests (CPU rendering owww) and I can't figure out what you mean. The textures are as detailed as any other, although they're done a bit differently to other Genesis 3: she has an entirely separate map for Top Coat and another for Transmitted Color which is a new method I believe?) and her 4.8 legacy mat setting removes the blue SSS Reflectance Tint that makes her look weird in 4.8 with her default settings. So from what I can tell she's actually more advanced than the past Originals?

  • jakibluejakiblue Posts: 7,281

    Oh that's interesting! Given that I'm still not up to speed and don't quite understand exactly what top coat etc does, I wasn't really looking at that. I just felt that when rendering her in Iray next to say, Olympia, she wasn't coming up to the same standard. Hmmmmm. I'll take another look.

    Here's a quick side by side of Olympia and Izabella (4.8, 4.8 mats, otherwise all default Iray settings.)

    Izabella certainly has issues in that her head is way too big (stylised + I feel she's been scaled up to an originally unintended height) but in terms of Iray nothing is popping out to me as being odd about her. I'm not saying anyone is wrong about it, just that I'm not finding anything (although my testing is limited because CPU rendering is slow.)
