    At the risk of echoing the sentiments of everyone else in the thread- Mrs. Chow is fantastic, and the Zhirong character is especially nice.

    Also, older African-American characters would be greatly appreciated.

    The Daz family has become amazingly diverse in terms of age, body type, and race/ethnicity.  Big ups to Daz and all the talented vendors.

    Completely agree! Love the sculpting of the base figure of this one. I bought the pro version, plus a few addons, and got them for a great price. I love the real diversity of some of the characters essentially mrs. Chow and latonya. Characters like them are a instant buy for me. Great job!!!

    I’m curious if there is a way to tone down the breast sag. It’s a tad overdone especially if she wears a bra.

    If you turn the limits off on the "Breasts Natural" morph you can give her a chest lift:

    Thanks! Good to know, for times Mrs. Chao wants to dress formally. =)

    I like Mrs Chow. I keep looking at her and she seems a bit too "toonish" for my tastes. I like ultra realistic characters. I'm surprised more people don't feel the same way. It's not a snub on the artist. It's the same reason I really didn't get into Floyd and some of those others.

    I wish the bundle deal was a little better.

    That said, I tossed it in the cart because I have been badgering Daz to get an older Asian character & even though it isn't quite what I had hoped for, I feel I have to support the effort.

    Starting some experimentation to see how well these characters blend with others, I took Tao and cross-blended her with a couple of younger Asian characters, which resulted in a rather nice veteran action movie star.

    Great Image Matt.

    Those poor bastards don't realise the beating Michelle Yeoh is about to bestow upon them.

    Mrs. Chow HD "out of the box" but with her Translucency Low setting.

     

    Here's a variant with Altern8 (setting "Aiko 8 A - No Maps").

    She looks great! I was experimenting earlier with dialing her in just a bit on some characters who are more idealized, and was really pleased with the results. The first image is a character design I'd been trying to nail for a while for a project (iSourceTextures's Hyuna with the base Mrs. Chow character at about 11%), and the second is Mousso's Michiko with Zhirong at 27%. I ended up liking the second experiment so much that I'll need to find something cool for her to do!

    Mrs Chow is a pro bundle I want to buy. I like everything about the pro bundle except the 'sexy kimona' as if a regular kimona isn't sexy enough and what I was hoping for. That's still much better than most pro bundles where the only things I want in the whole pro bundles is the base character and pricing is the only thing that has me decide otherwise.

    Oh no... that one is going in the cart first.

    "Would you like me to seduce you?  Is that what you're trying to tell me?"

    Mrs. Chow (I keep going back and forth in my head if that's pronouced Ch-OWWW or Ch-O) with the HD Add-on straight out of the box, plus the Sexy Kimono.  Probably number one thing I'm going to say I love about this character... she's short.  Whenever I dial in Alexandra 8, it feels like she's pushing six foot tall.  And apparently Victoria 8 is six feet tall.  Having a more normal, or even below normal sized female (5' ... 4"? I think that's average height?) character is a nice change of pace.

    Well, I’m glad so many like her but she’s definitely not for me. The skin looks like plastic to me and I’ve never seen so many wrinkles on a human being in my life! And Asian skin usually ages pretty well unless she’s out working the fields in the bright sun every day. And I couldn’t imagine ever finding a use for those clothes... But it’s great she fills a niche for those that need and like her. Luckily I have other older characters and Zevo’s aging morphs plus a ton of Asian morphs, so I’m good if I ever need an older Asian woman. And after the Bridget Pro Bundle marketing fiasco, I think I’ll wait till after March Madness to buy any bundles anyway. She seems to mix well with other characters and I may get her HD morph, but this is a bundle I can easily pass on...

    Her character shines through even a dirty window.

    Well people keep asking for a character with "some character" about them. And this certaily fits the bill.

    A great G8 character and well done to her creator.

  • OdaaOdaa Posts: 1,548

    Very well-done, and attractive bundle and deal. Probably will have to pass on her because I'm saving for the next round of car repairs, but bravo, Daz!

  • WonderlandWonderland Posts: 7,133

    If anyone is dying to get her but is low on funds, try playing with what you already have. Just for fun, I created an elderly Asian character with a character called Grandmother HD https://www.daz3d.com/grandmother-hd-for-genesis-8-female-and-edie-8 (which is now on sale and does NOT require Edie 8) and mixed with several Asian morphs. So don’t fret, those who can’t afford her, have fun making your own!

    Zhirong, the add-on figure to Mrs Chow 8, attracted my interest. She will provide a good companion to G3 Wise Sensei. So I got the starter bundle, and began work. I tweaked Zhirong to be about 20 years younger, and less bottom heavy. I used Peng hair, which I left extra dark and kind of thin on top, and not very shiny. Since I am "older", I know these things. I expecially like the face structure and eyebrows, but I do not understand the skin over the nose. The lips and teeth need tweaking so they don't have that cartoony smile. I liked working an expressive moment, such as seeing spring coming, or finding something lost. The shoulders look a bit goofy, but I couldn't figuere how to soften the curves. Here's my study.

    ChiOni with friends.

    (Yes, I know the render is lacking, because there's a ton of artifacts, caused by the converted textures, and lighting problems. Consider this a W.I.P.)

    Hey thanks for posting this. You made a sale!!

    Had Your character been in the Mrs Chow promo would have been an instant sale for me. Yes, the artist did a great job but I just couldn't shake the toon vibe I was getting.

    Now I feel like my Mrs Chow buy was a great decision.

    It's also great that I can use yours without Mrs Chow or with her!

    Let's see here...

    Oompa, Loompa, doom-pa-dee-do...  Yep, that's some nasty spray on tan there.  Mrs. Chow 8 HD straight out of the box definitely has some issues.  Maybe some adjustment...

    Okay, that's better.  Dual Lobe Specular Reflectivity is reduced to 0.1 and Transmitted Color changed to 0.77, 0.30, 0.10.  The skin color looks a little much to me, though.  Too much Polynesian, not enough Chinese?

    LOL, that kimono works only if she has doubled-side tape on those shoulders to prevent equipment malfunctions. Otherwise she's fiddling with the shoulders the entire time she's wearing it. It does look good though it's not a kimono. I will have to get the old one fitted & saved for genesis 8 I guess.

     Zhirong texture with a mix of head morphs.,.which i didn;t write down .. but up above was mentioned working with what you have ... 
    I do know this is G8F with some morphs..none of which is      Zhirong or Chow.

    Also, Zhirong immediately reminded me of a slightly older version the actress Wai Ching Ho.

    She is clearly Madam Gau from the Netflix Marvel series.

    Not to keep selling it, but the shoulder thing is a morph

    Basically, its a regular kimono (or at least a big robe) with a few not-strictly-necessary morphs for, you know... artistic purposes.

    I like Mrs. Chow  very much.  Am filling a test cart.  The accompanying $50 of free Daz originals are not showing as free.

    EDIT:  I have two new releases in the cart.

    Good to know.  It was the only outfit associate with Mrs. Chow that I did not purchase.  Like others, I didn't need sexy and the draped off the shoulders isn't a look I will ever use.

    Very pretty. I might actually get this (I didn't need/want the droopy shoulders thing either ;)
