    i like this a lot: https://www.daz3d.com/fairytale-town-square-bundle

    but i've read in some other threads that this PAs stuff is very memory intensive. Hopefully this is better optimized. Hoping someone will buy it and share results.

    I think FG Household Items is a great idea for all the clutter in a house. Really like the set. There's heaps of stuff - a number of omissions, but it's a really good start.

    Regards,

    Richard

    It does look great, and providing the shader presets and a preload in the bundle is a nice bonus. But yes, there's a good chance it will require some scene optimization.

    I agree, a nice batch of items to add finishing touches to a modern interior scene.

    As a fan of all kinds of robots I appreciate recently released robot.
    https://www.daz3d.com/svms-mech-saviour-type-knight-for-genesis-9
    The robot is with Genesis 9 rig, so poses for Genesis 9 works well.

    I really like Chrryt's Astraoxis from today's releases. Some cool ideas for her look and nice textures. I don't have any particular use for her right now, but onto the wishlist she goes!

    Also, Artini, thanks for mentioning that mech! The main promo made me skip right over it, but upon closer look, it's a really well made product. Also landed in my wishlist.

    The main promo caught my eye and drew me in. Then I find out it's for poses that I can actually use.

    Yes, this is another highlight of today's releases. I like how dynamic the poses look.

    I have not spotted this new character from Chrryt. Looks interesting for me as well, so I wishlisted it.

    And that's why I love this thread. Mutual wishlist padding. ;)

    I am glad I have purchased this character made by Chrryt.
    Very well made and contains useful morphs.

    Sevenly HD looks nice but it appears there is no morph for realistic human ears? 
    https://www.daz3d.com/sevenly-hd-for-genesis-9

    I can confirm that, no ear morph and I couldn't find one in my morph library that would do it either. 

    I made a morph to remove the elf ears from CHT Sevenly. I'm not a PA, so I can't modify the HD morphs, but they make only tiny alterations to the ears anyway, so it still works pretty well with Sevenly HD. The morph is called CHT Sevenly Remove Elf Ears. It only works if you have CHT Sevenly Head dialed in, because otherwise it would make a real mess of the ears. You can drop this zip file into your DIM downloads folder. Then in DIM, you will find it in the Ready to Install tab. Just install it. There are no "user facing files". You will find the morph dial in the Parameters pane. If you prefer, you can unzip the file and install it manually, just like any other Daz manual download.

    The attached image is just for reference. It is the image you will see on the morph dial after installation.  You don't need to download this png file.

    This is CHT Sevenly with her human skin and elf ears removed.

    The blouse is from BS Professional Uniform Set for Genesis 9. I think it looks great.

    I like the items, but I'll have to edit the textures. My renders are not advertising space. ( but I'm willing to negontiate, say $10 per item with PA's name visible on it? ) 

  • richardandtracyrichardandtracy Posts: 7,883

    Agreed about the adverts, but re-texturing is fairly simple.

    Thank you @barbult for the morph. This is very kind of you.

    If I needed a zeppelin that would be an instant buy. Currently it's an instant wishlist.

    Agreed. But it also needs a wartime material option and interior too.

    Those game ready characters. Were they really necessary ? Other programs have game ready characters and do a much better job. Most of them give you options for clothing, expressions... These look so dull, boring.

    The duf version of Character Adam wearing his FBX version's clothing and hair roughly scaled to G9 base and converted to props, then Transfer Utility used

    BTW, you might have the clothing or can find it in store with better UV mapping and texture

    these are atlassed as game ready

    the Hair is HSMSHairG9

    I think https://www.daz3d.com/hs-mirage-strands-hair-for-genesis-9-8-and-81-male

    the shirt is CT_Shirt_6324

    still looking

    it actually would be good if DAZ linked them for those wanting to render the matching duf versions for game art, splash screens etc

    I grabbed both as my freebies

    Automaps perfectly in UE4.27

    FG Household Items looks good in promos, but not so good in user renders. I bought it. It has a lot of surface issues. Lots of glass surfaces render in Iray as mirrors or metal. The clock looks like a mirror, because the face is hidden behind an improperly setup glass surface. The cotton jar looks like metal, not glass; you can't see any cotton balls. These are only examples there are other props in the product with similar problem. I submitted a help request.

    I'm really not the target market for this game ready stuff so I'm not clear about the DUF vresions: are these chars dressed and wigged like their thumbnails suggest- or are these just bare g9 chars that have special game friendly material sets but no hair & clothes.  I looked to the READMEs for clarification but none of these new mplex DUF chars have readmes. ( ! )

    No. The duf version is a only a charater preset -- no clothing or hair. However, the fbx version has clothing and hair.

    Thanks for the info @Charlie Judge -  I vaguely understood these game-ready items have a special all-in-one material atlas or something so where it lists char ALL MAT I sort of thought it included the clothes/clothing mats also, since every picture -even the clay renders!- for the chars shows the clothing & hair instead of showing a bare g9 figure (at least in the clay render it should!.).   But I sort of doubted they'd be including clothes & hair at the price - plus the little blurbs about the char under Details sounded suspiciously like all the blurbs for all those ?dial-spun? character preset only items weve been seeing non-stop for several weeks now and made me suspect these were just more of those except with a special mat packaging.  I sort of like the faces of some of these chars - am I right to assume these are basically normal g9 characters to which I could just apply normal g9 skins etc to instead of using the game-ready mats they come with?
