As the theme of the day is Victoria, the return of "Viki Severn" (this time on a rather happier day)...

So you must own every bundle from each Victoria version for this event to work?

I am guessing so. I own all of the bases, and all pro packs except for V8, and I did not get the coupon, so I guess you have to have all the pros to get it.

All base Victoria characters, from Victoria 4 up, Including V8, are free for a limited time. See the major shop banner.

Just snagged them. I already had V4 and V6. 

michael is the "poor ken", aways just a shadow for barbie and even removed for a new one, in this case just a shadow for victoria.

Hi, i tried to export some morphs of EJ Yuno Pack to Blender 2.79 in fbx format but nothing, when i import it i get the character without morph and some errors.

I also attached the system info from Blender.

Inside Daz i was checked the morph and i added some rules like: Chest, chest, CTRL_Head etc.. I only have EJ Yuno bundle and Victoria 8 character without Genesis 8 Female Body Morphs but i have the SY 200 morph. Thanks in advance.

Finally got a Kala 8 render done. This is her back-converted to G3F, with a G8 outfit and textures back-converted to G3F, and a Victoria 4 hair with Backlit shaders on it. I cranked the "shoulder scale" morph up to 10% to offset the size of the head.

So are the 500 items we get at 80 percent if we own all Victoria’s- Just those old v4 genesis items? Am I missing something more?

it is scaled depending which G version --60-80%. 
I own all the V Pro Bundles ... so I was thinking the same thing ... should get some reward for buying all of it.

I may as well join the party and wish Vicky a happy 2nd birthday.

TIC.

A birthday render thread is a good diea, but I've moved it to Art Studio as that is more appropriate - and there's already a discussion thread in the Commons. https://www.daz3d.com/forums/discussion/330471/victoria-is-free-for-her-birthday#latest

Is there a difference between Victoria 4 and Victoria 4.2? Do we only need one Victoria (the latest)? The non base female characters are quite impressive too.

I thought I'd start off the celebration with something I did "way back when". And is still one of my favorites.

"Paparazzi caught CGI model Victoria Forth dismounting from the official DAZ Limo yesterday as she stepped out on the Red Carpet. Her place in making DAZ3d one of the greats in budget CGI productions is assured. Even though it has yet to land her in blockbuster roles she seems content that she has become the go-to gal for the “little peoples art”. Assured of her place in history as one of the genuinely great role playing models, her legendary chameleon-esque abilities make her hot property indeed. Few, if any of her predecessors, and none of her contemporaries are capable of projecting themselves with such depth, and in such a broad variety roles. There is a lot of truth in the title of “One Woman Show”.​

Happy Birthday to Victoria.  Why do I have a feeling, when I look at her, that this isn't her first 20th birthday?

You have to remember that she came to us fully growed up    and she has actually aged quite well.

So, last year, Victoria 8 had a huge birthday sale.  And, she's honored with another birthday sale this year!

Poor Michael 8, on the other hand, didn't even get a mention last year.  Let alone a sale.

Michael 8 was released on 8/22/2017 btw, according to his Product Information page.

Belated BDay wishes to Mike from Vic

 

Anyways, even though Michael 8 sometimes is seemingly treated as  the unwanted stepchild that some people may forget about at times, I still remember when his birthday is!

Looking forward to your second birthday Michael 8!  And if you get overlooked again, well I won't forget you!

Well, we the fans of Michael 8 can certainly make a big hullaballoo about his birthday. He may not get the big flashy birthday Victoria gets from those in the Daz Ivory Tower, but there is no reason why we can't celebrate it ourselves.....with punch and pie? (OK, this is not going as well as I expected) 

I didn't have Victoria 6, who oddly is actually my favorite one. I have all the others. I'm not sure which Michaels I don't have.

The original Victoria, the Millennium Woman, developed by DAZ's predecessor Zygote, and no longer available, is from February 1999, making the Victoria line of characters 20 years old this year.

I know this has been asked before but I couldnt find the post. Im thinking about purchasing https://www.daz3d.com/leony-hd-for-victoria-8 but there is a strange detail on her that im wondering about. In the 5th, 6th and 7th promo shots, you can see an indentation just below her rib cage that seems to circle her entire body. Is this just a clothing morph that hasnt been dialed out? I noticed she has an outfit specifically made for her so I was thinking an hd detail that is added with the clothing perhaps?

When is Michael's birthday? And will we get him for free, too?

Unlikely

I don't want to jump the gun, but I find it surprising that Michael's birthday isn't given the same sort of bravado as Victoria's. You create two very iconic characters which are loved and adored by many, yet totallly ignore 50% of that base....now now,I better watch what I say just in case they DO decide to celebrate Michael's birthday and I look like a schlep...but I can't recall them celebrating it in the past. 

this is cool ... I didn't know she had only 1 birthday ... 
FREE base models ... I alreaqdy have them all, but a good catch for newcomers.
