    Vic 8 discount is SUPER BAD!! How can marketing team though about it? Free Vic 5 6 &7???  WTF, those who can/want/do buy Vic 8 already HAVE vic 5 6 & 7 !!! ALL of THEM.

     

    "Look in Account > Messages > Exclusive Offer" ... and be cruelly disappointed.

     Although sometimes when DAZ does offer exclusives to owners of earlier related products, they take a little time to roll out.

    I can wait.

    (taps foot impatiently)

    Am I the only person looking at Andromeda Sci-Fi Outfit and thinking "You know, a boob window in a space suit is a really bad idea"?

    I realize that it's not actually a space suit. But it would make a pretty good one. If not for ... boob window.

    Sigh.

    hey guys, i'm a new guy and just started using daz like 3-4 days ago. I want to know if i should get victoria 8 pro bundle or not. I made a thread and people recommened me to first get familiar with daz by working with free stuff before buying anything but i was still confused as many free stuff also require you to have morphs. So i just saw victoria 8 pro bundle and i read if i get victoria 8 pro bundle i will get victoria 5,6,7 pro bundle free and victoria 8 starter bundle and other things too for free. i think if i buy victoria 8 i won't need to buy again anytime soon.

    So what i want to know is if i right now just learn about daz and buy victoria like a month later will it still include other bundles or not and if i even get victoria 8 pro bundle will i still require other stuff to buy or it would be enough for now. thanks

    As much as I love the free stuff, you don't get the same results as you do with the bought products, so it's worth shifting eventually. if you don't have the others, and you have the cash to do it then it probably is worth going with the new gen. That way you will have all the base figures you need and it will still be compatable with the new products that will be coming out. 

    You will eventually be able to pick her up at a discount, if money's tight, but to get gen 5,6 & 7 with all the bundled goods that come with it (assuming you're going for pro or starter) drops her price significantly. No if you buy her in a weeks time it probably won't include the other pro bundles, and it will probably never be repeated.

    You most certainly will buy more, as DAZ lures you with sparkling new content and equally sparkling (but cheaper) old content ...

  • jakibluejakiblue Posts: 7,281

    In DIM, the "Genesis 8 Female PowerPose Templates" is 237.4 mb and it installs the starter essentials also. The "Genesis 8 Female Starter Essentials" is a separate file and is also 237.4 mb, the exact same size. I wonder if there's been a hiccup with the powerpose templates file, and that may be why people are saying it's not working for them?

  • jakibluejakiblue Posts: 7,281

    and the sales almost every day that brainwash you into buying more and more and  more.....and more......

    On the plus side, it's not asymmetric, with bonus buttock-/midriff-exposing cutaways. On the minus side ... high heels.

    I hear NASA are fitting boob windows and high heels to all their spacesuits. I guess I just need to get with the times.

    You can load UV skins from Genesis 3 into Genesis 8, but the don't come over true.  To the left, G8 loaded with Lorin's skin, to the right a pure Genesis 3 Lorin.  I liked this skin for its pinkish tone, but they seem to trying to ruin old skins.

    Hi

    Fairly new myself as of 6 months ago.

    The bundling of V5 & V6 & V7 may not be included with V8 after the initial release deal I think - so if you think it's a good deal (and it is) - go for it. I always regret not just plumping for Pro bundles - might be a few items I never use, but they are good value in the long run.

    A lot of the free stuff (sharecg and  the like) is for the older Victoria 4 model - but clothing for Victoria should work on Genesis and up with autofit that comes with Daz- free characters will require Victoria 4 of course.

     

    When I started in December I got M6 and V7 PRo bundles on a deal, but with a week or two I'd gotten M4 and V4 for the wealth of free material out there for those figures. If you are new, you may not have bought a machine with GPU intensive work in mind - I know I didn't have it in mind when I bought my last machine - the older models are easier on system resources than the newer ones, so that's another reason to consider older models. My machine cannot handle scenes with a lot of the newer figures, but can do more with these older figures.

    Best advice I can give is to subscribe to Platinum for 3 months - great discounts on a lot of items to get you started - I should have done that from the get-go, instead of waiting a couple of months.

     

    I messed up this morning on my V8 purchase and neglected to add V5 and V6 pro to my cart before hitting checkout - got confused and thought I had them already - only have V7 Pro - I really shouldn't shop until after my morning two cups of coffee... Meh, I already have most of both bundles that I really wanted - but still annoyed at myself...

  • shadowhawk1shadowhawk1 Posts: 2,208

    All this inovation and they still CAN'T get shoes to autofit. This has been a problem since G1, fix that and I will be impressed.

    If taking up the offer of the free bundles and planning to use your PC coupon, remember that with freebies in the cart, you won't get your full $6 off. I ended up buying the morphs separate to the bundle and using my coupon on those.

    And who is this, oh mysterious one? Straight V8 or new girl you're working on?

    EDIT: Aha, it is a new girl! Can't wait to meet her!

    lol- that's Keri for V8. Just posted her in my thread and in the commercial thread.  V8 with custom face morphs, and G8 Body Morphs mixed into her.  Wearing the sexy body suit for G3, I believe.

    Wow! Beautiful work, DM! 

  • DarwinsMishapDarwinsMishap Posts: 4,087

    Thank you!  I have no idea what inspired it, that one just kinda happened. lol  I used a pose from G3, fixed the position of her collars on both sides and one leg and blammo-that happened. lol

    You need to set it to base res, not subD 0. That can sometimes cause mismatch errors. Also, if scluptris adds subD... 

    As I said in my post I had set the resolution to base and no it does not work I get a Geometry Mismatch error..  Looks like it is no longer possible to make morphs with Sculptris..

    Strange, though You can use it with zbrush, I would get Zbrush core if I were you as it's only a fraction of the cost of the full Zbrush!

    Actually, this is a shader issue and not a UV as V8 uses specific shaders not present in V7's Try loading V8's shaders over V7's while pressing Ctrl and check the ignore texture option.

    Put in a support ticket. They might give you the missed bundles for free.

    Is anyone else having this issue with the Genesis 8 Base Female's eyes?

    The weird silver ring shows up when the light hits her eyes in a certain way. It's really odd and I don't know if it's just me (because of my custom shaders on her), or if it's an issues others are having.

    Here's a test render of FW Rebekah for V8 in the Blue Bell Woods with the Morning Star Wings. Lovely character and the wings have a lot of posing and texture options. Nice job, Mada and Anna! She's wearing the Throne Defender outfit without the outer armor. There are many pieces to this set. Mixing and matching gives you some different looks. The Voss Hair is very versatile too. and comes for G3F as well. Good work Nikisatez, Mely3D and AprilYSH!

    I'll give it a go. My mistake is beginning to gnaw at me a little.

    Looks great, Llynara! And those wings, wow! :)

  • 3Diva3Diva Posts: 11,982

    Just a heads up for those who like to do custom morphs. It looks like there's a script included that makes that easier:

    3delight settings for generation 8 female are a bit pittiful, you even need to check through the maps if the settings for gamma corrections are alright, if someone got the Vicky 8 could they check what the skin looks in 3delight settings please?
