Am I reading this right? The OceanQueen Megabundle includes a dragon figure?

I'm not exactly sure. I bought it earlier, but it's pretty clear that the Ocean Queen herself wasn't fully transitioned. I got the figure, but no textures.
I'm 90% certain than yes, the bundle did include the dragon back at RDNA
I don't think so. It includes dragon riding gear and outfits for M4 and V4 as well as somthing called Ocean Queen (not sure what that is). Maybe somebody else knows for sure.
I just bought it but everything is so slow right now that I haven't been able to download and install it yet. If you don't get some other replies I'll try to post more definitive info tonight after I can get it installed.
I'm wondering if some materials listed that are missing will be remedied later. Maybe it's just forgotten stuff when they bundled it, or something. :(
I mainly wanted it for the saddle, but then I saw the dragon figure itself and got all excited, lol. I hope they figure it out, though.
Yes it does, but it doesn't work yet. It loads, but it can't find any of its own textures that came with it (quite a few from the number of icons). They're probably installed somewhere, but daz doesn't auto-find them and I don't have time to track them down right now.
But yes, it has a dragon.
I've reported this.
Hmmm ... I ran into a similar problem when I bought the Koggen ship at Rendo. I had to do a manual search for the textures, found in an odd spot where Daz didn't automatically know where to find them.
You'd think there would be some kind of oversight, making sure files worked before being sold.
Thanks for reporting it, Richard. I'm probably going to go ahead and buy it trusting they'll fix the glitches at some point so I get it at the sale price.
I just picked this up. It does include the dragon, but the Michael 4 outfit was not included. The file only has the Supplement/Manifest.dsx files.
Edited to add that yes, the dragon's textures are missing too.
Ocean Queen is the dragon. She was on my wish list over at RDNA.
Yeah, somehow the content folders got left out of the package on two of the components of the bundle. Opened a ticket, so I'll get notified when it gets sorted out. If you want it, by all means buy it and wait for the corrections.
BTW, I think someone really ought to make a note of the fact that the wings are Poser Dynamic. That isn't mentioned, and it SHOULD BE.
With the script that makes Poser dynamics comply with the Optitex plugin this could work, and work well. If not, then postwork is your friend.
Learning the wings are dynamic is even better. Now that DynCreator is around, I can definitely take advantage of that. Also, like you said, if the script doesn't work on the wings, I'm a Photoshop freak.
Another strange thing is that the description says that the dragon is fully weight mapped for Poser 10, but then goes on to state that it works in DS. Since Poser weight mapping does not work in DS, this does seem rather odd.
What you get right now is a sweet outfit for V4. (The coat has morphs for riding a dragon.) You also get a dragon without textures.
I did a quick search and couldn't find the textures by the name cited in the file. Ex:AK_OQdragon3DIF1p.jpg
Here's the base dragon with a toon shader. I can't seem to find the wingsails either. But there are a bunch of other parts.
Wait. Found the wingsails (props).
Yup Poser dynamic is always in the props folder.
I'm pretty sure you also get the saddle and harness. At least I did. But I'm waiting for the packages to get sorted before I i nstall it.
Yes I got the victoria 4 outfit, the dragon with no textures and no wing sails, the saddle and harness and no Michael 4 outfit or textures. But it looks really cool when it all shows up.
I really would like to buy this while the sale is on along with the owls and bandages which looks really fun. But will the OceanQueen bundle come with the M4 outfit? Or is that just a typo in the sales page. Also, there is a really neat texture set for the Dragongear outfit at the RDNA site called Keeper of Beasts, but it's not here on DAZ. Will that be moved over to DAZ? Just wondering. Thanks.
I bought the bundle yesterday, but as mmalbert already said, the Michael 4 outfit has only Supplement and Manifest files. In my case it was the same with the dragon, but others did get the OceanQueen figure. So I guess this is due to all the system errors of the last days; I'll try to download the bundle again later today.
Thanks for the lead to the added textures, Lyam. I'll add it to my cart in hopes the files I just bought are fixed.
In my Product Library I've got
DragonGear for M4 - No content
DragonGear for V4
DragonGear Harness & Saddle
Ocean Queen - No Content
This is being worked on, though i can't give an ETA for the updates.
Realized after I bought this I already owned the DragonGear items. But for 4 dollars I got the harness/saddle and dragon. These prices are ridiculously cheap...I was shocked to see so many of Arki's items on the sale here. And I'm glad they made the transition from RDNA. I feel like I've gobbled up almost all her items over the years but then I discover more. She's quite the talented lady to say the least.
Are the Totem: Owl things also being worked on, Richard, or should I put in a separate ticket?
(It apparently downloads but then fails to install)
I suppose extra tickets might help but I already put in a tech support ticket on them as well as Bits and Pieces dog Tags and The umbilical.
Some parts of this bundle are of course purely Poser specific, have you taken that into consideration.
Dim fails to install anything at all.
So... maybe I'm doing something wrong, but it's not obvious from the product page or anything.
I haven't reported any issues with Totem Owl as I wasn't aware of any - but I can add it to the email discussion if you let me know what is broken/missing. Of course someone at Daz may already have noticed the issues, but better not to assume that.
I click 'install' and it immediately says 'install failed.'
I'm... not sure what to do after that.
Check the zip with a standard zip utlity (7Zip or the like).
And how exactly do I do that?
Edit: Ah, I think I found it.
The Owls set that doesn't install using DIM (I get the failed) is OK if you unzip & install manually but all the texture files seem to be missing - Only the textures for the dynamic caftan were in the download :(
I agree! I am just discovering her work, and I am happy to see her products here at Daz. I didn't visit RDNA much before – a big mistake, as I can see now. Though the textures need a little adjustment to DS, Arki's Dragon Keeper Hair (from the DK bundle) is a marvel, and I think I'll spend the rest of the week-end playing with all my new Arki toys... ;-)
