i have to say what a FREAKING DEAL. I just put pro bundle, four add ons, and one of the reward bundles in the cart, and it's 38 bucks.... okay, and then today, have you guys seen the newest release of Hinky's Boggles??? OMG squeeee!
Also to the folks saying "where's the asian characters"? What are Pei and minto and Minato chan ? Aren't they?? And they are amazing quality too!! No, not Daz originals but absolutely SUPERB. EDIT to add: oh... yeah. We need an asian MALE character.. yes yes we do. I'm still hoping Rarestone will make an awesome one!!!!!! You guys are right.
I think Ollie is adorable but I love the big nose (its why I liked Liam partly too) and so nice to see a skinny guy for once!!! Really awesome variety from Daz and I think the PAs did an absolutely fantastic job on a big variety of offerings for him, not bland at all- everything from forest elf (and with the add on textures, those leaves transform to a gorgeous metallic armor, and since I have no armor yet for my g8 males, awesome), an adorable geeky house elf ish outfit, a good and very versatile loincloth (thanks for all the options!) The oak defender made me giggle OUT LOUD because it was unique and just so cute! and of course the aviator outfit (just need an old bi-plane to put him in!). The loads of expressions and poses are just extra doses of awesome fun. I wanted more from today's newest offerings-- that chef outfit!!!! BOGGLES!!
but I am afraid i am officially going into hiding for the rest of March, wake me when the maddness is over, because Hubby is NOT gonna be thrilled about how much i bought this month *wince* but oh my gosh PAs and Daz you guys really killed me this month. Seriously, it's been awesome. Thank you all.
Til next time,
BOGGLES he hee hee! *runs into the madness giggling madly, of course*
To each his own, I guess - I bought the bundle precisely because it wasn't a G8 flavored re-release of a character I already own several generations of. Like others, he reminds me of a Nursoda creation (which is a huge compliment), only more useful because he's based on G8M so he can wear other's clothing and take part in my forbidden gene pool experiments.
Was also swayed since Josh's Glumgurgle was included in the bundle, which is something I would have picked up for sure. And oh yeah, I got the Darius 7 Pro Bundle, too.
Anyway, here's Ollie borrowing some clothes from 3DU's Mythical Pixie:
- Greg
Oh wow! So awesome. I'd love to own that clothing set.
It is a great outfit, @freni-kyn - the set includes a great character, too.
just playing with Ollie a bit and getting ready for easter. :)
That is Awesome!!! I love it. Where did those ears come from? And that egg he's carrying in second picture looks like someone just dyed it. It's awesome. What's it from?
My initial reaction to Ollie was "Ack, no, not for me," because I don't need a gollem or a house elf. But the way he mixes with other characters to make them more realistic is sending me back to look at him. Given how few male actors there are compared to female ones, that mixability/realism is really valuable. Thanks for all the test renders.
Today is my birthday and I used the GC my daughter got me to buy Ollie Pro Bundle and 4 add-ons which made the price lower. He has great skin, mixes really well with other morphs. I liked the clothes and really like the two additional characters in the bundle for a change. I don't like using cartoon characters but I like ones that are in between so he is really fun. The first render is mixed with Edward. The second is the Zackyr character.
I can't wait to render stuff with him and liam! Setting myself to finish this project i'm working on... if i finish today, i can play a bit with renders :D eeeee.
Here's Ollie as a quick and not entirely accurate impression of Pratchett's Cohen the Barbarian, with the Vinnuth Kriegor armor. I definitely like him :-)
Looks great... but could use a touch of "Old Chap" I think.
Yes, that would work well. So much to explore!
Okay... here's my attempt for Cohen the Barbarian:
100% Ollie (with 100% Nose small), 100% Old Chap (+100% Old Chap HD Body Details), 50% Kincaid Body (for the muscles). Old Chap HD Textures (pronouncing the wrinkles some more), and G8M Hair Set for the beard and body hair

Ollie just has a lot of possibilities, it's a great "character actor". I think it is going to be one of my favorite DAZ characters. He's the Christopher Lloyd of the 3D world ;)
I've eyed that for months but not picked it up because I wasn't sure how well it would fit onto G3M (and now G8M) - looks like I should grab it! I love that render (and many others in this thread)

Had my minions render some more Ollie illustrations while working today:
Wasn't planning on investing in G8, but then I picked up Pei. And then Dylan. And Monique/Laverne. And Ronen. And Minto. And now Ollie/Glumgurgle. Now I find myself lamenting not taking advantage of the Edward Pro Bundle deal, too - doh!

Those are fantastic! I especially love the colored one ;).

This look fantastic! What are you using to get the sketch effect?
Some really cool renders here! I love the way Ollie mixes with the gene pool to create really interesting character actor types! This guy I'm imagining is an eccentric but successful pseudo-intellectual NYC playwright known for his amazing dinner parties with Manhattan's literati. As he was rendering I created a whole back story for him LOL.

That is Awesome!!! I love it. Where did those ears come from? And that egg he's carrying in second picture looks like someone just dyed it. It's awesome. What's it from?
The ears are from the sci-fi bunny outfit, I used a fur shader on them in daz, then changed the tint of the center of the ear in photoshop. The egg is called 'the egg' here at daz and then I did a few texture overlay in photoshop to get the colors.
After seeing what everyone was doing with Ollie, I changed my mind a bit and purchased the base character today. Thanks to all of you who got in and experimented, I got a fresh perspective and saw just how useful Ollie could be. I thank you but my wallet does not. My poor credit card is whimpering in the far corner of the room after all the "trauma" I have put it through this month. And there are still three days left!!!!

Nice, I like the result. You make me change my mind about Ollie 8.
This looks like a job for Ollie.
Saw him at the bottom of a page in an ad.
These are fantastic, @deathbycanon! Thanks for sharing.

Found Ollie's doppelganger covering one of my favourite songs.

I haven't wish listedany Ollie stuff because it's ALL fun looking! I'm gonna be making a new avater for lots of stuff!
I made some custom grips for that guy's Harley.
LOL!! When I first saw this new Character I immediately thought of this actor from
the "Enders Game"
sci fi Film.

Perrrrrrrrfect!! LOL
Now, could you tell me where you acquired that outfit? :P

The collar looks a trimmed up version of this outfit. https://www.daz3d.com/enchanted-for-genesis
the shoulder pieces kind of look like the one on the battle queens outfit, but not quite.
