    I had the 20% offer (so, $37 for the Pro bundle after adding 4 add-ons). Combined with the $70 in "free" stuff, I could not pass that up.

    Besides, Jason Momoa!

    /not a Jon Snow fan...

    why peoples are getting the $70?? it's party of they previous cupons????, because it's saying just 40 not 70.

     

    Another question going a little offtopic what is the armor he is using in his "young version" i means the one with just arms and leggs in the promotional image from the main promotion??? i means the image in the background when you are on the "starter bundle" part, what is that armor?? at last the arms???

     

    Right, $40 is the normal free stuff, but I'm an extra big sucker for deals, so I got a $70 banner. cheeky

    For me, the 20% Victoria banner overlaid the $70 free stuff Elios banner... but I kind of knew I'd be getting $70 for this one.
    I've been getting $70 banners with the latest crop of Pro bundle deals.

    I'm on the fence about him.

    I think it's the eyebrows. So...does anyone know which eyebrows are used in https://www.daz3d.com/drago-hair-and-beard-with-dforce-for-genesis-3-and-genesis-8-males ? They appear much more natural.

    Sorry, was on vacation when this came out. 
    The main picture with the scar is Gen 8, mix hand mix of alot of morphs, mostly Elios, the texture is Vladimir's scarred texture.

    The 'Dude Abides' picture is gen3 hand mix of Ivan and Dante wearing Ivan's Skin Texture.
    The ones with him just sitting around in the tshirt are the Elios face with the Vladimir texture on it,  didn't have the Elios textures yet when I was promoing ;P  had to make do. ;)



     

  • Most of his promos look very plastic and fake to me, not a very good impression at all. It does seem like somebody took comments about promos to heart, as he has some basic promos to display his shape mixed with others, and there are more promos in general. So props for that. But the dude looks like he has a pile of wax on.

    I like the Jon Snowing looking character, but not enough to go buy Elios just for him. That's too bad. LadyLittleFox has another absolutely fantastic looking hair. Her hair is easily the best thing released today.

    Can this hair be fitted to females? I ask because I have a dforce hair that distorts when trying to fit or parent it to other figures. I think this hair would look good for some ladies as well as men (without the beard.)

    There is some voodoo you can do to more or less get it close, but as is, no it doesn't quite fit the females.  If there is a desire for additional fits, I'll see what I can do.   The hairline is a little severe for most women to pull off... might try a similar style.

    Thanks, I did the gift card thing to get 20% overall with the 10% coupon and got the Starter Bundle with all the extras I wanted for $49.

     

    Ellessarr, if it's the pic I'm thinking of, it's Aery Soul's Legend for G3F/8.

    i was thinking the same but since it was a female armor i was like "maybe its not and just my impression".

    Very strange, I had the coupon offer for 20% off today when I checked this morning and now that I have my cart ready to check out, the banner says I get 10% off. Did they change it during the day?

    there was a 10% off coupon that lasted around a week then there was a 20% off one that was one day only funny thing is they both had the same code funny thing is they both used the same code and the 20% off only gave 10% off, thinking it was a wording error I retyped it swapping 10 for 20 but that didn't work. Just looked again and I must be going mad cause it now says 10% off and the first one is still in my messages. If you don't see the banner anymore look in your mesages - exclusive offers should be there, my banners disappeared too, if your getting anything from the Elios sale should work unlike the pc $6 coupons even if you get the freebies as think it's 10% off each item in your cart not total like we lose out with our monthly coupons if we add any freebie bonus - just did a test and the frequent buyer bonus discount code works for Elios Pro Bundle + 4 add ons + $40 worth of add on freebies

    Elios 8 has no contemporary clothes in his bundles, though I haven't seen the Convergence Outfit sans torso armour & boots (hopefully the pants are ankle-long trousers when there are no boots). Even if a male Core character is a werewolf, biker, or king of Atlantis, each male Pro Bundle could include at least one contemporary outfit that doesn't look like an afterthought (Daz asked for a male contemporary outfit; so, we threw this together). Alt Style Outfit (almost-angled-shoulder jacket, tee, & jeans) should have three or four genuine imitations (coined to mean "an imitation that is not a knock-off, but a true alternative," pun intended), because it is used in a few promos. I have so many female skimp armour outfits it's beyond ridiculous, but a men's mainstay like jacket, tee, & jeans? And the thing about the Alt Style Outfit is that all the items (other than the customary Daz Original outfit two-right-feet shoes---really, look at them!) are well-modeled and fit like real men's clothes fit real men. Obviously a joelegecko favourite, Alt Style was a Nikisatez/Mely3D collaboration that deserves a remix!

    Here's Owen 8, whose Pro Bundle contained the Alt-Style Outfit:

    Yes you can wear them without boots and armour. Good excuse for a quick play render :D
    Untuck the pants morph, loosen the ankles and use the Adjustable weightmap layer to fix any poke throughs from the shoes. I added Cool Styles shoes in this image.

    I've bought Elios. I'm reasonably pleased. But overlapping banners meant I could have had more $40 of Daz stuff - if I had seen the banner. Getting rather irritated by hard-to-see messaging. Takes the shine off the new thing.

    I buy a lot here, I guess daz store figures I don't deserve coupons.

    I admit, I really dislike the sales tactic of giving some people a better discount than others and hearing about it in the forum. It does make me just want to return my purchase, because it feels unfair.

    Well since I am not PC+ and utterly broke that discount is just an utter tease for me I cannot afford to use anyway

    most I could have done is buy a $5 GC for $4 and then maybe a $6 -7 item with it at 20% off, I didn’t bother

    @Mada, Brilliant! Thank you so much for the render. That is a flattering casual outfit, appropriate for my leading men. I'm glad I got the extra textures. Thanks for the tailored shoulders on your The Count and Pack Leader coats. I can always use more!

    Look at all those gorgeous folds and creases on these clothes!!!

    Been looking for a hairstyle like this one.  More carefree + wild + strong + more volume.  Bit of a Megan Fox look maybe?  

    Desire+1 for additional fits if not too much trouble?.  Or happy to buy an add-on.  Anyway, thanks for making this. smiley 

    In a way, actually looks pretty good already on the right women's face profile.
    (1) First render showing look from further away (click on thumbnail at bottom if want to see 1200px x 1200px.)
    (2) 2nd render showing closer up. 
    (3) With another hairdoo blended in try to make front hairline softer & more fine.  Not sure if that's what you meant by severe?  Having an option for finer hair as a 2nd layer to blend-in would be really nice to have for close-ups.  laugh

    Don't sweat it. Same thing happened to me, but I put in a ticket with my added items listed by name & SKU. The Earned Bonus is still operative today; so, you can actually get MORE than $70, depending on your percentage. I got enough extra to get two more large environments & some plants. Put the DO items you already bought in your cart along with Elios 8 Pro Bundle, apply the coupon code, and add your extra items until the free stuff is no longer free. Then you can calculate what to delete to bring it under.

    Yeah I got the Elios Pro Bundle yesterday and the $40 free DAZ item and today I get a banner to get $60 free. Feels like punishment for ordering early.:(

    Thanks for taking the time to render/post this, @Mada. Looks like it would make a great casual longsleeve scifi outfit that would fit in well with Aeon Soul's stuff - think you just made another sale!

    I just ran a test shopping cart and can get The Elios 8 Pro bundle for $37.03 by getting four add-ons and using the Exclusive offer: June Earned Bonus from Victoria.  I've got 15 items in my cart, the add-ons, the "Elios 8 Wants You To Save!" offer, and a couple other random items (some quite old, actually) I am paying about $81 which is only a couple of dollars off where I started from when I first added the Pro Bundle and an item or two. Niiiice. 

    Thanks DAZ - awesome sale!

    What's this June earned bonus from Victoria I keep hearing about?  Curious (jealous) cuz I didn't get one.

    It's evidently for people who buy lots of stuff regularly (allegedly during the last week of May).

    Well I only spent $32.00 +/- so I guess it was a 'light' month for me.

    Yeah it is.  It's a disincentive for me to keep spending at the rate I do, and not get rewarded at all. Should be an all across the board discount for everyone.

    I agree. At least one outfit that's just casual.  The Cormac character would look great wearing Alt Style.  I just wish one of the good texture artists would have made add on textures for it.  Most outfits have add ons, too bad they missed the mark on this one. Guess I have several other casual outfits I can stick on him and Elios whether they be G8M or G3M.

    and as we do not buy the new bundles, the incentives become less and less..which then results in even fewer bundles or products being purchased. You either buy like crazy or sooner or later your special discounts are gone.

    Heh, I'm no joelgecko, but I've also found that that outfit is a gift that keeps on giving.

    Yeah I got the Elios Pro Bundle yesterday and the $40 free DAZ item and today I get a banner to get $60 free. Feels like punishment for ordering early.:(

    These Daz sales are so unperdictable. I bought him yesterday and although the sale page said $40 of free items I did my usual trick of adding items and checking the cart, and I reached a bit over $60 before it started charging me for them. Now today I've got  a banner saying I could have $70 of free items if I bought him today.

    Still, I used my Victoria bonus to buy him using money from a gift card I bought with the Victoria bonus so I shouldn't really complain smiley

    I was looking around at new content when my wife saw Elios and asked when I was going to make her a pinup of him. The things I do for love.

    I was hesitant to post details because it *can* cause serious sour grapes, but in a nutshell:


    "Victoria would like to celebrate her birthday month with a special gift for you.

    Because of your purchase level in the preceeding week
    please enjoy an EXTRA 20% OFF* any purchases you make during the week from June 1st - June 7th.
    Discount cannot be applied to the purchase of Gift Cards."

    I "earned" this discount by spending A LOT recently.  :)

    It was my birthday month too, but no coupon... crying

    So I spent $323.02 last month and that’s not enough to get the coupon??? I think I’m going to just return it all.
