Has anyonie picked up the HDRI generator in today's new releases? https://www.daz3d.com/hdri-wizard--skyscape-generator-for-daz-studio. Given the price point I'm curious if it is as good as it sounds before I consider picking it up. I've found many nighttime HDRIs I've found on the internet are awful so I'm particularly interested if nighttime HDRIs are doable in this and how simple they are to do.
They have a simple solution for that. State it explicitly. Even "Customization of Victoria 9 and other figures" is better than silence. And it can't take more than a minute or two to add that to their ad copy.
I take external notes about most of my scenes as I make them so if I need to recreate it later, I know what was used to get there. If I were a figure PA, I'd write the store page copy as early as possible so I wouldn't need to figure it out later.
I like it. I may buy it. But those black and white promo images are hard to see. Why are so many promo images done on black gen 9 basic manniquins suddenly? They never really do much to sell the product. Showing the movement morphs I understand to meet TOS, but all or most of the images? Of an item with so many color variations?
Sickleyield said on her Deviantart's account, in relation to one of her recent chains or ropes products, that using mannequin offered more leeway.
It's also likely faster to create a scene with a mannequin, which should render faster, than with a textured figures.
But I agree, a bit more contrast between the mannequin and the background would make these renders easier on the eyes.

I thought it was because the rules changed again in not allowed to show certain body parts/areas again and instead have to show on clay figure or black/white barbie doll maniquin
I do like XI Street of Denmark, though I've got to say it reminds me more of Bergen in Norway than the parts of Denmark I've been to.

It's pretty at first glance, but more impressed if 1.) it was actually a street as advertised and not a clearly pedestrian only wharf/boardwalk that actually seems to be inexplicably blocked off from any streets, 2.) the buildings at the corner weren't stacked right on top of each othe so that the windows of one are half blocked off by the other building, 3.) all of the signage wasn't all in English only instead of Danish with English translations, 4.) two of the restaurants weren't simply lazily named Restaurant, and 5.) there weren't four identical hot dog stands in the space of a single block... and also, 6.) the plural for hot dogs in Denmark is hotdogger, not hot dogs.
They're called spaghetti straps and they're extremely common on women's apparel, especially formal wear. And yes, they're often very uncomfotable, just as high heeled shoes are miserable to wear and cause permanent damage to the feet. A great deal of women's fashion is all about looking good, not feeling good.

I haven't tried them yet but I did decided to pick it up as well as the cloud bridge. With an additional 45% off with tokens and then 15% off with a gift certificate it came to roughly $45 for both.

I think, like many high heels, these spaghetti straps don't even look good either. They usually make the shoulder area seem much too bulky, are not in good proportion to the rest of the dress and thus destroy the proportions. But strangely enough, they are considered sexy. My personal impression.

Thank you very much for the answer.
I have imagined, that such clothes are cosidered fashion/sexy,
but as a male, could not judge the common opinions.

This time it's Nepal! Everything was great except the rice looked terrible.
Working on it, I published a new set of rice materials, once it is reviewed and accepted, two new materials will enhance the rice which, in retrospect, didn't look that good. Thank you for your insight. It is highly appreciated.
When did the "you left something in your cart" emails start? I received one for stuff I put in my cart at Daz 1am at Daz 3am. Huh?
They’ve been there for quite some time already. You can configure them in the "alerts" section of your account page
Yesterday was the first time I've seen one and in this case it was for something just two hours old. I leave stuff in my cart all day sometimes.
I think it's supposed to be sent when the offer on some item in the cart is about to expire so you have a chance to purchase it at the current price, but I might be wrong (I disabled cart notifications long ago so I have no email history to check).
Or maybe they were broken before and Daz just fixed them ;)

Anybody knows, why shoulder straps are so narrow on

How such cloth could be comfortable to wear and use.

I've never been to Europe, but the street vendors here are exquisite, an element rarely seen in other "XI Street of xxx"
That’s what it reminded me of too (though it's been very long since I visited there)
I agree, the rice looks weird but the rest looks pretty good.

And when the answer is "a custom character", the subsequent demands to make that character available.

as soon as I saw M3D Yanzhi HD for Genesis 9 I thought it was Stuart as an old man

Another mystery of the life.

very common here down under
Will need to be more fashionable in my renders,
because that’s what really counts.
Due to recent offer I were able to purchase:

Very nice hair made by Toyen.
