Are the Kala discounts supposed to stack with the Victoria coupon? For the Morroco sale, I mean...I bought Kala last night (big bundle plus addons) so I should get an extra 20% off the featured artists on the Morroco page PLUS when I add the coupon it should stack right?

It would depend on how it is worded. If you expect it should stack and isn't, you can put in a ticket. I'll also send in an inquiry separately, but it is the weekend.

Big Victoria birthday sale just started.....

(Happy 20th birthday, Vicky!)

Chris specifically brought up children in his response to the opening question, and openly stated children may be using Daz Studio. His statement did not even cover the topic of payment providers.

 

I think its interesting that store pages never disclose that a character model might have nipple textures, or for females how they often have a painted on genital texture on the torso. This torso texture is not part of the genital prop, and sometimes even characters that do not have a specific genital prop texture might still have this torso painted genital.

 

What I am getting at here is that there is no parental warning on these elements. Yet Chris openly stated that children may be looking at the store and using Daz Studio. These things would seem to be at conflict with each other, regardless of who makes the purchase decision due to this lack of information. A parent buying things for kid has no way of knowing this.

 

How would a parent who uses Daz Studio for themselves set up a child safe version of the app so that their child can use it, too?

Maybe I'm missing something...DAZ is safe for children, because we don't have nudity in the store.

Load almost any Genesis model and turn on the Iray preview with your grandma and kids around and get back to me. LOL.

So which one's hotter, the t- or the a- pose?

So If I stand naked in the middle of Walmart, as long as I am in a T pose its all good and the cops wont arrest me? Fascinating.

Why does the pose matter? That makes no sense. Nudity is nudity regardless of context.

Yeah and I thought this was about nudity in the store

Its the hypocrisy behind the policy and the comment Chris made: "Except that doesn't mean children don't use Studio or look through the store, forums or galleries."

Key part of that talking about children using the program. If you are "protecting" children from the horrors of nudity in the store and gallery, how does it make sense that there is no such protection inside Daz Studio. Again, I point out that these models have these features that are banned in the forum by default on most presets. And none of these items actually state this fact. So the whole argument that the store bans nudity because of children is nonsensical when the app features it so prominently. Very few characters load with clothes on. I can only think of Victoria 4 loading with some underwear on her texture, and maybe a few other characters once in a very rare blue moon.

I don't care if we show naughty stuff. Not one bit. I'm one of the people that thinks the gen prop should not be exclusive to pro bundles, and I would like some kind of way for people to see the full product before they buy. Somehow other sites manage to do this, manage to stay listed on Google, and manage to keep payment providers. This is not a porn site, it is an art asset site. Apparently Daz had an over 18 site at one point but killed it.

Back to sharing, family sharing should be something that can be allowed. If it isn't, IMO the EULA sucks and such a policy is holding back Daz Studio more than helping it. Sharing is how you get more people into Daz and grow the market base. Otherwise, the family member using Daz may just keep it to themselves and nobody else gets anything. Who wants to buy things twice just for their kids? Some people might, but that's ridiculous. For comparison Steam has a policy in place that allows a user to create accounts specifically for their children. They can enable them to install and play games under these accounts without needing to buy the game twice, or more. They can also control exactly what games the child accounts have access to, giving them an element of parental control. Steam is enjoyed by millions of people around the world...and their families. 

Such a system would be great for Daz. It would allow a parent to give their kid a children's account to play around with Daz Studio. Then the kid gets older, they can get their own account and start using the program for themselves (thus becoming a paying customer). This would allow Daz a chance to grow naturally along family lines. And maybe the parent does buy items just for their kids along way, too. There are more ways to profit off of this system than making people angry over how they can't share anything. Daz content gets expensive in a hurry.

Yet I'm still having problems finding certain specific hairstyles for women. For men there are like 8 models and you can still match anyone. XD

Nothing girds the loins more than a scantily clad Victoria brandishing a sword while a 80's hair band plays in the background.

BTW: the specialised male modellers seem to be on Rendo, might want to check there. Agree with the threadstarter though.

It appears that Daz has changed its logo for the second time in, I think, two years.

As of yesterday, it was this one, according to yesterday's mailer:

And today it's the one you see at the top of the forum and store, with the wee tiny 3D and all white.

I expect in another year or so, the 3D will have entirely disappeared.

Victoria's head is still exploding about the same, though.

Your best bet is to use 1 hair for upright and another for upside down

God, i hate when products disappear from store before i even know about them.

So, any available tools to convert V3/A3 maps to V4/A4 or Genesis?

No there is not, or at least none that I know of. There are products to convert M4/V4 skins to Genesis 3, but TC2 was the only one to support Generation 3 skins. The only way to use Gen 3 skins on any Genesis model without conversion is using this:

I really like this character, but would rather use her with Genesis 8 technology.

Can someone make a version of her but for Genesis 8?
I know the original artist of Lydia made new characters called Evelyn & Lynn, but they're not as attractive and too normal looking.  Genesis 8 females needs more super models with stunning facial beauty IMO like Lydia 7 HD.

I er, uh, <mumbling quietly> don't really care for Dr. Who so am not aware of all the actor people invovled in it (I know more than I will admit to, but not much).  I made my comment based on something I read.  I take everyone's comments here in the best possible spirit and appreciate the education. :)

Just for clarification, the Ana De Armas reference was to Goldtassel's modified version of the character, rather than the original Osuine.

You may or may not be interested but Jenna Coleman can more recently be seen playing Victoria, in the show of the same name. Maybe you've seen something of that instead? Or not. :-)

Hope no more. Daz has largely confirmed my early assessment and I have the first handful of clones built. I aim to complete G3 and G8, update the code and overload the attributions (and provide Daz an evidentiary explanation of why I am doing it thus) and we should find out in fair order if that suffices.
When will that happen? As I said way back, holiday. I won't be able to get much work done. I will try to get the response off to Daz, with exhibits of my planned correction today. I won't be waiting on them, but given the odds that the new morph might be crap, or need many small adjustments, I almost certainly won't be ready before they respond.
Again, as I said, there's no reason to assume Daz had evil intent. They clarified in very reasonable time on a holiday weekend. I believe them. The major trouble here is due to my failure to consider that the base clone shape was irrelevant to the process as long as it didn't create distortion. Yes, Daz would have still said attributions, but I could fix that without interruption. Remain positive. Lose a few electrons if necessary. I'll get it done.

A product like this, free or not, that give users the ability to bring older character shapes forward, (or the newest shapes backward to their favorite genesis generation,) can't help but stimulate sales for Daz. So it makes sense to me Daz would want this script to pass any and all legal requirements. IMO, it is in the best interest of Daz, PAs and Users for the script to be around for a good long time.

That said, I'm still kicking myself for not downloading the script immediately!

i do feel that was the "big deal here aside the legal issues, something "free outside of they own control here, is not something they would love to see without a big talk about it, since almost everything here must have a "price"(even when you get some freebies here and there), have "real free products and a product like that with so big power would be even more of a big deal), but it's my own opnion whatever.

Another question this product only transfer the "regular morphs" like characters morphs(victoria, michael, keiko, mika and bla bla bla)?? or some regular body shapes like basic body morphs?? or you could use it to export more complext morphs like this ones:

https://www.daz3d.com/minotaur-6-hd-for-genesis-2-male-s

https://www.daz3d.com/reptilian-6-hd-for-genesis-2-male-s

 or morphs like this one:

https://www.daz3d.com/skinchangers-female

https://www.daz3d.com/skinchangers

i means any type of morphs or only the most "common and basic ones like characters and some body shape morphs???

if it can export any morph then wow it could be really one of the best pluggings ever.

Yes, those seems to be G4 figures (or maybe G5). As far as I can tell I have seen for example in this scene https://www.deviantart.com/dungeonmeister/art/Highfolk-City-goes-to-war-357218610 this outfit (behind main characters to the left and behind) https://www.daz3d.com/celtic-warrior-for-m4 and also I have seen some Xurge3d clothes that are mostly for G4 on other pictures like this one https://www.xurge3d.com/inc/sdetail/26385/27544

He is using his own textures and it seems they are done really good. But what I am amazed with is how he can fit so many figures on the scene. I was even thinking to ask for some advices and I might just do it. Let me see if I can find picture I was really amzed with...

Ok here is that paladin outfit from Xurge https://www.deviantart.com/dungeonmeister/art/Rary-the-Traitor-is-dead-473762253

It is something like this one but if I remember good it was in medieval city and there was some kind of crowning. But here it is https://www.deviantart.com/dungeonmeister/art/Honored-642250284 You can se to the left lady dressed in white dress and big headpiece which is V3 dress that means he probably used G5 and auto convert from V3. Here is that dress https://www.daz3d.com/the-dress-for-victoria-3-0 and head piece https://www.daz3d.com/the-dress-headpiece-for-victoria-3-0

And sorry I can't find it but I am just amazed. His works are so good. My favorite artist is Keith Parkinson and all this pictures can compre with it and some might be even better. Just for example here is one of his pictures https://www.keithparkinson.com/product/ruins-of-kunark-print/

I'm sure he'll be glad to give some advices to one of his fans! :D

G4 figures are very light, with a modern GPU it shouldn't be a problem to fit how many of them you want in a scene.
Otherwise, there are instances. You could also reduce SubD level, texture size, maps etc.

I'm sorry, but if I admire his scenes, I think they're not aging well!
Consider, for example, that this was done in 2015: https://www.deviantart.com/bestmanpi/art/Natural-hand-547185863

 

Maybe it is posted before, but here is my favorite artist. I just love his work, especialy Greyhawk pictures https://www.deviantart.com/dungeonmeister/gallery/52965141/Living-Greyhawk

For example: Highfolk City goes to war

Thanks for sharing!

I really like the scenes and everything, he has talent!

Is he using some old generation? The characters, to me, look more "aged" than what I use to see nowadays :(

Yes, those seems to be G4 figures (or maybe G5).

Usually you can find it in your Daz Products listing, under Victoria 42 base.

If you have the updated metadata, Victoria 4.2 should be available in your smart content tab.

Smart Content -> Figures

Content Library -> Poser Formats -> My Daz 3D Library -> Figures -> DAZ People

You'll need to go looking in the following path of your content library in DAZ Studio:
\Poser Formats

\Figures \DAZ People \Victoria 4.2

She should be about the last item.

My library is all DIM installed (except for stuff I buy elsewhere).
Hope this helps. 

In Daz Studio? Where are you looking, and which packages did you install? Remember that Victoria 4 is Poser-format.
