The Hivewire Cat is rolling on the tulips in the window box, bending at least two tulips over. Anyone who has cats knows what they are like, targeting the most precious plants and rolling on them. While the cat's chin is being scratched, the second cat called Travis, is about to whack the Dragonfly on Vicki's knee. And in so doing will almost certainly cause her mug of tea to go flying.

For G3/G8F and upwards D-force or not. There is some good underwear/lingerie products for sale out there but it seems to be darn near impossible to find a simple bra which is able to undo from the back and can open outwards from the back also so the whole thing looks longer and spread out (see pic as example) maybe I'm just not looking around good enough is there such a G3/G8 underwear product that has this? pls let me know.

If you check the files coming with Hongyu's Dream Lace 3 there are morphs called LeftBackOpen.dsf and LeftFall.dsf and the same for the right side.. and tons of other morphs for adjusting and showing off...

Hongyu's Maiden 5 Lingerie offers three different "open morphs" each for the back sides...

This is the Maiden 5 Bra autofitted on a base G8F figure without any further adjustment... So I guess (!) the Dream Lace will also work nicely (don't have it yet, but it's wishlisted)

It has been a source of wholly unnecessary and Mad-Hatter's-Tea-Party gibbering confusion that some people (who I think should know better) indescriminately refer to zip archives containing content files for Daz Studio as "content." This has been stretched to the reductio ad absurdum of products in the store even claiming to manage "content" (even with the word in their names) when the only thing they actually can work with is a zip file.

You cannot dress Victoria 8 with a zip file. You have to have actual content installed to dress her, even in a gorilla costume. Don't believe me? I'll wait. Go ahead and try. I'll just sit here and do my nails. Or, if you prefer, try to put a zip file where you want a castle in a scene. What? Don't want to try? I don't blame you, because you certainly would look goofy trying to USE a ZIP FILE as though it were CONTENT.

And just as a tin can can contain soup, sardines, chocolate syrup, or pears, a ZIP FILE can contain anything from a Photoshop plugin to War and Peace, and NEITHER of those is DAZ CONTENT!

This nomenclature anarchy isn't limited to that semantic madness in the Daz universe, though. For instance, there are promo pages right this minute in the store for products that are for use in Daz Studio, but have gee-whiz language of: "Put some [any hyperbolic word here] in your Runtime!" You probably think you read that wrong. No. That's what it says—some antiquated holdover from Poser, I guess. Of course, if you're new or uninformed enough to install that package inside the actual folder named " Runtime " inside your Daz Studio content folder (whatever you've named it), oh, are you ever going to be in for some surprises! (Not like Santa or the Easter Bunny bring.)

And just to keep you spinning like a draedle, some people (who I think should know better) also indiscriminately toss around the world "library," as in "content library," to refer to the main CONTENT FOLDER for DS (whatever you've named it)—never bothering to mention or clear up that inside the actual " Runtime " folder that is inside your Daz Studio content folder (whatever you've named it), there is another folder called—wait for it; did you guess? Well, yes, it's named " Libraries ". And if you aren't confused enough at that point, some PAs actually put their own folders inside some of the absolutely essential folders inside your Daz Studio content folder (whatever you've named it), and down in some level of their own folders they will put a folder called—wait for it; did you guess? Okay, you got me; yes, " Library ".

But the main lesson, I guess, is don't try to eat tin cans, don't try to brush your teeth with a toothpaste tube, and if you value the sanity of DS users, for the love of Jehozophat, stop referring to ZIP FILES as "content." PSA: They never have been, aren't now, and never will be.

Agreed!

I received a request to see Margot without Victoria 8's morphs. With JUJU's permission I would like to use this thread to show you the differences for the benefit of all who are also wondering how much Victoria 8 influences the appearance of Margot.

Victoria 8 morphs mostly affect her body shape, and only slightly, her face shape. Here's the comparison.

Am I alone in feeling that Victoria 8 is actually not very nice looking? The proportions look wrong to me. She's athletic, but heavily endowed up top. To get that sort of muscle definition, her body fat percentage must be low, which would reduce her bust considerably. How many Olympic athletes are large up top?

V8 is good. She's a bit different from V7. I like V7 best of all the V-series. She's stylized; but that's normal in 3D-land.

Hi,

I could not resist "Margot" and invited her in my Library. She is beautiful. And also beautiful is her smile on the promo images. In the "Additional Products used in Promo Images: " is listed "20 Unique Smiles for Genesis 8 Female" but.... these smiles are all open smiles. Is this beautiful smile with closed lipps creatable with this product? Or how? I don't have the 20 unique smiles but I adore hers.... so.... How?

Thank you and best wishes!

https://www.daz3d.com/20-unique-smiles-hd-for-genesis-8-females

 

 

I have those products and I'm almost certain it is a combination of these three products (in my opinion but maybe Virtual_Worlds will visit the thread & tell us):

1) D.Master AFE for G8F

2) AFE HD Expressions (Closed Smile HD)

3) DO Head Morphs for G8F (the Cheek / Dimples / Mouth Corners Front/Back morphs - you have to look at a real picture you like and adjust those as desired and after that sometimes ever so slightly adjust in PowerPose - carefully, it's easy to over do in in PowerPose)

Of course the "20 Smiles" can give you other starting points. You need to, when you see a real picture of a real smile, look at the possibilites in those products to match that most easily. It's much easier to visualize if you have a top-notch nVidia GPU and can see right away in one of the viewports via iRay Preview as the Texture Shaded is a bit deceptive in how the actual smile will wind up looking.
