Right now I see a 60% discount on feature artist catalogs. That can't be right? Should be 64%

JWolf's Weapon Poses are showing in the sale catalog, but aren't discounted.

Fixed, fixed as far as I can tell.

I think it was Girl Next Door 2. Athletic which I think is for Victoria 3

I put a ticket in on this, and after a week got the following reply:

So, basically, it's a "don't do that" without any explanation as to why it fails.

I got a 20% off pro bundle offer last week for owning one of the older pro bundles.

So did I -- except that I own all of the older Pro bundles.  I got the same 20% discount on Victoria 8 and Michael 8, too.

For clothing Vintage Rose, Edwardian accessories and the Grantham Hall Suit, and their numerous add-ons should fit the bill. 

ETA: Also Victoria Iven and add-ons

nice.

how's her left toes? 
is she doing the left toes distortion thing like Victoria 8?

No distortion seen.

 

Thanks. 

I tried that and it almost works. The heads of the snakes are warped and mangled and restoring pose hides them apparently. When I turn their heads, the don't move all the way and when I mobe Victoria 4.2's head, it moves all the snake's heads along with it. Do I have to alter the limits or is there another step? Perhaps alter it in a 3rd-party program?

I'm trying to achieve renders that looks like this:

(Credit: Blackhearted)

I'm trying to achieve renders that can really accentuate the form like above, rather than being too smooth. The way the bones and muscle forms are really clearly defined like that.

When I render I often get results that looks way too smooth.

What's the key to getting this look? The shader, light setup?

I'm using Victoria 8 model and rendering with Arnold 5 in Maya 2018, btw

Yes, but you also have Victoria 7 right? I think you need the figure the HD was designed for in order for it to work (even on other figures).

You do not need the base figure for the HD details to work. There won't be any base morphs, it will just be the fine details. In many cases, these can look *really* odd without the base morphs. Oftentimes they are designed to go with the specific materials of a character as well (for example, my own Cillian has two HD morphs for scars with materials that go with them-- you can use the morphs without the mats, but it'll look really weird). If you look at the HD morphs on a character's fingers, they will often be designed specifically to coincide with the wrinkles on the maps. One thing you could do, for example, is dial in Victoria's base shape, but then use Olympia's mats and HD morphs. 

I actually did something similar to what you described; I dialed in Tween Julie and used the Victoria 7 HD morphs and the material presents from Growing Up in several images I've posted here in the forums in the last 24 hours.

I want to get this product https://www.daz3d.com/lucian-7-hd-add-on Mainly for a Genesis 3 character, but I do not have Lucian 7 at all. But all logic tells me this product will work just fine anyway. Will someone verify if that's the case? I mean all I should need is Genesis 3 male for this, right?

The details will work on any G3 Male; I have the V7HD morph and have used it on a number of other G3F figures.

This is exciting news!  I'm definitely curious how this compares to Poser's cloth room that I used on so many skirts and dresses, dynamic clothing or not.  Will it work with my collection of Victoria 4 Poser dynamic clothing to fit to G8?  Though being unable to pin spots around the neckline to keep gowns from sliding will be challenging.  Guess I just have to eventually get in there and see what I can make it do.  And hopefully windforce will be added to the features.  Cautiously optimistic for the moment.

You can pin areas not to move with a weight map. Mada has a nice video on how to do it - super easy. Also, there already is wind force ;). And I've noticed so far that the stuff DS cloth doesn't like is more or less the same as what Poser cloth doesn't like...pinching between body parts or other other objects, intersecting with the figure, etc. :).

Thanks for that!  Guess I missed a few things reading 8 pages in a row. lol

Thanks, Richard. I'm not sure how to rectify that. I've tried putting Ren's skin on a G3F, but getting his morphs over is confusing. I'll figure it out eventually.

Heads up- if anyone is looking to buy the Laguna Mermaid Props or Hair, they are super cheap today in the DSON sale. I put in a ticket for the difference in price, since it was significant, and I just bought these items a couple of days ago.

I have searched for over 30 minutes.   Can someone help me identify the top and shorts outfit Marion is wearing in the promos?
