    ...ah, just another female figure. When I saw the name I thought it would be one of these: 

  • That is very nice @AnotherUserName. My render of the outfit and Michaela is cooking right now. I am taking it into a Sci-Fi direction. I liked the provided poses for the character and outfit, to start with, as the wings on the top had me a bit worried. The walking pose works like a charm.

    I just started a topic on the outfit. Id like to see your render when your done.

    I think I would buy the bundle if there were nmore incentive to do so. I like pretty much all the products in the pro bundle, other than I never look at the poses included as they don't interest me. 
    xtrart-3d  X-Fashion Sophisticated Jacket Outfit looks good, but the products are getting very repetitive/similar looking. 
    CJ8 looks much more feminine than the two included characters. Nice to see both are HD, whatever that means nowadays. 

    But, i guess I will wait for the free or $20 offer down the road a few months, or year. Pricing is much too high.

    I like her, but not going to get any pro bundle beyond $30. So I'll wait the few months as well.

Edit to add, she reminds me of a young Kathryn Janeway, which is weird as the front image on the shop is tickling my brain as I think I know that face, and it is not Janeway.

    The main image looks like Kristen Stewart to me.

    Ah! I agree, It has been years! Twilight. I only saw the first one, but my main takeaway was the music. So many great groups on that film.

    Yep, the jaw, the lips, the nose and the arm definition make her look manly to me. Now if i could just see her adams apple..........

    Agreed, @AllenArt. Striking resemblance to Olivia Wilde, from the distinctive jawline right down to the nose.

    I love CJ 8. But then, I grew up with women like Katherine Hepburn and Maureen O'Sullivan in the movies and they were considered gorgeous and both had strong faces.

    She reminds me a little of Ellen Page, though taller.

    Yeah, the only thing manly about her is the paucity of her sales incentives.

    LOL!!!

    Two snaps!

    laugh

    Three, actually. They probably called that the Zorro snap or something.

    Triple snap in "Z" formation...

    I've gotten so many free items from Pro bundles, a few more free items won't break a sale for me. I threw on Babina 8's HD pack for my "free" stuff since I use her a fair amount.

    I like CJ8, even if she isn't a Jeep. Another strong woman is good. Heck, with the right combinations, I'd buy another petite teen all over again, and we've had plenty of those in this generation.

    "Buy the CJ 8 Pro Bundle to get $5 worth of Select Daz Originals"

    wow.

    That doesn't even cover the TAX most people will have to pay for the Pro Bundle. 

     

    Weirdly still, there's currently an offer for $10 worth of select originals for buying a single hair product, so it's a slightly... odd... deal. 

  • James_HJames_H Posts: 1,090

    Nothing against this, but nothing to make me leap in. So I will hang back. One thing that the Sales show is that if you buy early, you may have limited choices in later Sales. Later, perhaps, for me.

    Finally was able to see her using the link from the OP. I don't like her jawline at all. Very masculine jaw and chin. Her mouth seems too close to her nose and the space to her chin is too large... The mix with Edie is kind of interesting though. Still looking over the rest of the bundle and addons to see whether it's worth it, the offer even with purple banner seems weak...

    I also think that her jawline with the extremely protruding corners (which I also find very ugly in men) looks masculine and a bit strange.

    We've had the CJ type before: besides Ophelia 7, she also reminds me a bit of Olympia 7 and various models from the 8 series. I own some good morph programs... All in all, I like her (and Michaela even better), but the bundle is not to my taste.

    Heh, I thought it was the figure Cat 8 at first, too. I don't mind her tougher look, in face and muscles, and the upper arm pose shows very natural looking underarms. But,  I'm tired of fidgeting the gap of duck lip 'moue' and that center crease in the lower lip that newer models have. Michaela looks good, but I don't want to pay for 2 characters,either.  Even with all the tricky discounts, the base prices for new products have escalated vastly in the past year, so passing on this one. 



  • I didn't know who Olivia wilde was/is but I kind of got a Jolie vibe and kinda went with that.... chevybabe's dutch braids and lyoness's tarian outfit (I love it!)

    So as usual I find comments about very specific features being 'wrong' very ... odd. First, real people (and celebrities) have all sorts of features, including strong jaws. Second, it's... trivial to change.

    With the basic 'genesis 8 female body/face shapes' packages, here's an adjusted CJ 8.

    Dials added (other than posing):

    Cheek size 50%

    Jaw Angle 100%

    Jaw Height 30%

    Two enthusiastic thumbs up.  yesyes

     

    Worth repeating that reality is much broader than what some 3d artists call realism.

    Olympic swimming champions and Olympic track champions are real people.  In reality, one particular swimmer was six inches taller than one particular runner.  Yet, in reality, they each had the same measured inseam for their legs.  How?  The proportional length of torso to limbs differed a lot.  At least one (probably both) significantly violate the standards for anatomy taught to artists who seek realism - DiVinci's famous diagram.

    EDIT - to add, contrary to what some might think, the shorter person had the proportionally longer legs, with key word being proportionally.  Their legs were the same length.  Some artists think that tall people are taller because of longer legs.  Sometimes, yes.  But sometimes not.

    Jessaii delivers with Lanya, just like Brenna did for Ophelia 7. Should have held my judgment for another day. ;)

    So, do we call her Cee-Jay-Eight or Cee-Jaight?

    @jardine, Here ya' go.

    Front, full body shot:

    Head shot:

    Michaela Hd Without Cj8 Head Shot

    I'm a big fan of RedzStudio, so I went ahead and bought Michaela, even though I did not buy CJ8. I figured worst case scenario, I could still use the materials on my own dialspun characters. However, I think she looks lovely with just G8F, though she should probably quit burning the candle at both ends. She looks exhausted! (She uses 50% of the CJ8 head morph. Maybe that would reduce the bags under her eyes. She also uses 70% of CJ8's body morph, if I've read the dsf files correctly.)

    I'm rendering a few more head shots, using some of the other G8F base figures I own. I'll add those here, too.

    ETA: More images…

    with Mei Lin 8 at 50%

    Michaela Hd Without Cj8 Front Head Shot With 50% Mei Lin 8

    with Gabriela 8 at 50%

    Michaela Hd Without Cj8 Front Head Shot With 50% Gabriela 8

    with Bridget 8 at 50%

    Michaela Hd Without Cj8 Front Head Shot With 50% Bridget 8

    with Sydney at 50%

    Michaela Hd Without Cj8 Front Head Shot With 50% Sydney 8

    And finally, with Zelara 8 at 50%

    Michaela Hd Without Cj8 Front Head Shot With 50% Zelara 8

    Open each head shot in a new tab if you want to quickly compare the differences. In a column here the differences appear to be very minor, but cycling through the images in browser tabs shows just how different they really are.

    On one hand, pretty white girl.

    On the other, I do like the promos and they've actually managed to sell her interestingly.

    On the other, her pro bundle is rather disapointing as the promo pic and poses included sell her as a badass, while her clothing and hair screams "genetic fashonable white chick"

    So close, daz, but so far...

    "But taller" is basically the Battlecry of latter gen daz females...

    Maybe, but Ellen Page is 5'1", a few inches shorter than regular average.

    Most Daz females are WELL above the regular average...

    I gotta agree; I don't do one-click art, as that would be someone else's art. wink
