The Daz website built-in Victoria AI is surprisingly good for finding answers in the forums as well as finding products in the store. I use it all the time now. (I didn't even know it existed until I turned off my adblocker). Turn off ad-blocker and you'll see an icon for it in the lower right hand corner. And it's better than the moderators tbh, and that says a lot because Richard is a wealth of information. I even asked it your question and it gave me some items, then I asked for discussions on this topic and it gave me this:

I am not sure where Victoria AI is, but as seen by the attached images it is not the DAZ search icon. Typed in gore filter and got this search result.

I made an interior render, starting with a DAZ figure. It is Victoria 6 with Blake character, boudoir clothing set, Estal hair. She is on 'Cozy Bed'. I added a simple vase with a plant and put the scene in a room called 'Chambre d'amor' (of which I only used the room, not the props). I added a cubic fill light a sky by David and Horo and ecosystem trees by them as well. I modified the glass texture of the room and added missing walls with a simple stone texture. I was thinking about paintings by Hopper when creating this.

Thanks!! 

The colored portrait is - Cheyenne @ 45%, Olympia@ 65%, and Victoria @ 65%

The black and white portrait is - Victoria @ 65% and Van Helsing @ 65% ( my favorite combination )

 

 

This is what Victoria 4 looks like to me, but converted to Iray Uber, and Render Settings > Tone Mapping > Burn Highlights & Crush Black set to 0.25

This is with added 50% tranlucency in the skin materials (and copying the base color maps).

 

Hi, Recently, I've started using the daz studio again to create images that I use as references for my drawings. I haven't used it in a while so I'm a little rusty. I did some tests with the genesis 8 and everything was fine. I tried with the old Victoria 4.2 model (with the nvidia rendering) and the model is overexposed. There is an excess of light. I would need to use that model and not a newer one because I've various accessories, (clothes, weapons, various utensils and more), if I had to switch to another model I would have to buy many things again and now, for the use I make of them, I don't care. So I ask you how I can solve it? Thank you.

Speaking of the free Premier bundles, those are down to 6 - as low as I've even seen it. Kayla, Carter, Ally, Pixie, Victoria, & Vicky (toon). I hope they add a few next week.

Unfortunately I can't buy as much as I want this weekend, but going to get at least a couple things off my wishlist. Hasn't been a great sale for me but that's okay. Not like I can render until later this month when I get replacement for my computer.

Tis the season I start adding DOs to WL, in hopes Santa Daz brings back the Holidaz daily Freebie or $3 choice. That way, I might get less random goodies.

This October I bought very little overall. I bought some quick grab items as necessary to round out to $5 for tokens, the daz anniversary bundles, and some of the Dreamlight $1.99 sale items especially some of the HDRIs and stone Mason reimagination combination sets since I have most of Stone Mason's stuff now. Since I upgraded to premium annual membership instead of prememium monthly I had a bunch of tokens, and I either used tokens every time I got one of the aniversary bundles or a random discount coupon to make the aniversary bundles usually around $5-6 and at that price, I think they were worth it even if I really only wanted 3-4 items from the bundle.

There's a new orange banner with a new code for either extra 20% off a single new release or extra 50% off a single older item. Coupon DOES stack with today's version of the horror/SF flash sale, which is better than yesterday's, since there's a subgroup of items that are 70% off without buy-ins.

Everything above is based on my experience with https://www.daz3d.com/monster-mashup-for-genesis-9-starter-bundle. With 1 token & the banner code it's $7.62 in cart. That's 8 G9 characters - M/F zombie, M/F alien, M/F goblin, (F) hag, & (M) wizard. I think the hag & wizard could also be dialed in to age other characters for non-fantasy pieces. But, just like the member sale, or whatever it is now, the Halloween offerings haven't been impressive otherwise. Compare last year: even with the chaos around debuting the new membership structure, Daz managed some great spooky offers, including Lycan 9 and a deal for $40 of Halloween/horror DOs free with a New buy-in.

So, having gotten a big bundle out of WL Limbo, now I turn my attention to using the free bundle coupon. Carter, Victoria, or Toshi?

I am waiting until tomorrow, but leaning towards Carter. I always tell myself I need more men, but then I end up getting more women. Lol

What gets me is the Juliet Starling costume in the add-on bundle

I guess I'll be using my coupon on Victoria 9.

When will a batch converter for Generation 4 to Genesis 8 or Genesis 9 be released? Your Bone Minion product was a godsend for me. Thanks to it, I was able to use numerous poses from Victoria 4 on Genesis 8. However, applying and saving each pose individually was a time-consuming process. If you were to sell a batch converter, I would buy it immediately.

The original bone minion was never intended that you would save the poses, you would just use the poses without needing to save a new pose. However, people like yourself requested it so that is why I am releasing the batch converters now. The Generation 4 Batch Converter will probably be available in Dec.

She Walks Among Us

This is Genesis 2 female with some dial-in morphs. She is wearing Gaia for Victoria 4 (Dress textures are a freebie from the 2025 Fantasy Attic's Annual Halloween Gift, Halloween Gaia Gown by GlassLady) and her skin texture is Marvlynn V4 by Shadow_Dancer (Also from the gifts page). With her is the Millennium Cat with a free texture ThaiCat for DAZMillCat by czarny_jednorozec84 and the Owl pendant by  emanuela1 also a gift. The environment is one of the free backgrounds from the halloween gift page by EarwenM. The trees are the Dark Trees here at DAZ, Traveler's spooky tree and jacko'lanterns. Dreampaint's forrest set, Xfrog's bushes.

I'm trying to figure out how to get rid of the mouth texture, tried Dain 9 and Victoria 9 both. 

I don't think this product was meant to be made for being used with the characters' original texture maps (Head) ~~

I'm afraid your best option might be retouching / healing the texture map with external image Editors... to remove partial textures around the mouth area ~~

So what is the deal with this "Victoria AI agent" that keeps popping up on my screen when I'm on the DAZ store?  How did it get turned on and how do I turn it off?  

Make sure you don't have any open discussions - if it keeps popping up that is usually the cause, saying goodbye should end the chat and stop it from popping up (unless you have found a new bug or compatibility issue).

I hadn't opened that chat bot before and did so today. I found it to be really fast and helpful. It answered my questions and provided not just tips, but forum posts pretaining to my inquiries, recommended products, and so forth. Iwill probably use it much more. A lot faster than Google searches. It will be interesting to see what happens when the questions get more technical in nature. it also references forum topics pertaining to what you are looking for, which I find really nice...much easier than doing a forum seach that  sucks, in my opinion. 
One thing I did ask was when Genesis 10 was to be released. It hedged that one off very nicely like you would expect when a date isn't even being leaked 
OH..one bad that I've found so far..everytime I change pages, the bot pops up automatically now. I cannot get it to stay minimized. I will see after I close the browser and come back in. 
EDIT" yes, it is now staying minimized after closing browser and reloading.

its an AI chat bot..I just tried it for the first time after seeing this mention and have to say, it is extremely helpful. I pointed me to forum posts to help with my questions, pointed to product, to tutorials, etc etc. And its very fast. I'm impressed actually.
