Well try that figure alone and naked to make sure it's not having too many models loaded the the scene, or the hair, or the clothes, or what-not.

I loaded her by herself with nothing else in the scene. When I try to add clothes or hair to her Daz Studio crashes. Poop. :( I love that character. This sucks. I wonder what about her is causing it. It doesn't happen with any of my other figures so far, so I'm pretty sure it's her. 

If it's Brooke 7 HD / Victoria 7 I found and reported a bug about her this past April or May but now that you mention this I have yet to receive a notice that Brooke 7 HD or Victoria 7 have been updated so the bug must still exist.

It had to do with loading Victoria 7 and then loading Genesis 2 clothing like the Cupcake Stewardess and also other outfits that are Genesis 2 although understandably I didn't test them all for DAZ and report them. Is that the bug?

It's a freebie character with some modifications I made to her body and mats. I figured out a way around it though. I saved her shape as a Shaping Preset and her Mats as a Materials Preset then loaded Genesis 3 base figure and added the shaping preset and mats preset and saved it as a new character. It looks just like the original character but this version of the character doesn't crash Daz Studio. I'm not sure why the other one did, must be something to do with the base figure - since loading her shape and mats to genesis 3 base seamed to fix it. 

I'm now able to get hair and clothes on her! Yay! :D

Wow, lovely. Love those eyes & eyebrows.

G2F . .Iray, Scene only . . 3 spots (1 for back light),1 distance, 1 Point, Still not right, but getting sleepy.

I was getting closer to what I was wanting . .  I recall or think I recall, there was a way to not show shadows from every light in Iray, too tired to search right now'

I don't have any morph dials for G2F, but I do have a couple freebie character dials , so she's a mix of them

 

In the spot

 

Where did you get the feebie dials for this charactor?? It looks amazing btw :D as do all you creations I hope my creations ge to be as great as yours someday :D!!

I thought I had used more then just one character,  I only have 3 to choose from, but clicked on the Currently used tab, and it's just one. Character used was FWSA Stacia for Victoria 6,  I couldn't find the store page, might not be available any more, there was a time she was free, might had been a promotional thing or something, so she might not be free any more

hair was Thalia Hair

I bought all the products needed to use V4/M4 textures on Genesis 2.

So what i do is first load my G2F. Then locate the "Set Victoria 4 UV" script.  click it.  Then use the New Surfaces for Old script. and that lets me select a Mat by browsing and it should work. well it' s not working, it works....but the ears remain Gray. whats' going on?  With some textures     they did work but not others. However with G2M i did some characters too and they would not get gray ears

People often type Veronica instead of Victoria - I don't know why, the names are very different.

When I saw the thread title, I thought to myself "What about her? She was the first G3 female, we have plenty of newer ones." :) I guess V*****a, and they are all the same... :)

People often type Veronica instead of Victoria - I don't know why, the names are very different.

If you mean the main promo I'd say the skin is definitely Victoria 7 and the shape is probably V7 + some other morphs.

Anybody know which female character is in the main image for this product?

She looks very familiar, but I don't think she's Victoria 7.

I need an opinion here.  I made two renders, one close up, and one full scene to include the cauldron and various props with a little post work to add the green magic and a little more luminescence to the candles.  The close up was rendered with Victoria 6's HD, and the full scale does not have it.  I didn't add the green magic to the close up, because without the cauldron, it would have been strange to give her a green glowing elbow.  Both files are close to 2 MB so you can zoom in if you open the thumbnails.

These are both rendered in 3Delight.  I'm pretty proud of the glass.  I used AoA's metalized glass shaders to achieve the realistic look that the Iray version of Perfect Potions had.

Which should I use for this contest?

Portrait:

Full Scene:

Gonna go against the grain and say use the big one.

Why? Exactly because it tells more story.  She is still the focus, my eyes are immediately drawn to here before I see the rest of it.

I like that one better and I think it still functions as a portrait, even if it is a little busy. My two cents.

Yeah that could also be the case since Victoria's morph is not listed in there.

Maybe it was supposed to be Victoria 7?

EDIT 2: I notice that the Dragonbraid and related stuff was showing as purchased for me, so I went into DIM and had it download for me. The Pose files ARE all there, at least when done as a DIM download. If you don't have them, something must have gone wrong with the download. What happens if you try a manual download, or try a DIM download if you went through Connect?

Previous post below:

 

Something got packaged incorrectly, I think. I bought the Dragonbraid stuff back when it was with RDNA, and it had PZ2 files, which work just fine in every version of Studio 4 to date.

No readme for the current Daz store version exists, so I've attached a zip file with the readme for the version I bought at RDNA, which contains a list of the files. You should definitely put in a ticket for this, because if you don't have PZ2 files, it's not all there. (EDIT: Zip file updated to include readme for the Addon, which seems to be included in the Daz bundle as well.)

According to the readme with the file, the Pose directory  with the Dragonbraid Bundle should contain the following:

Thank you!

By the way the ReadMe file is provided in the DIM .zip files - it is under:
ReadMe's - TheDragonBraidBundle if you download the bundle .zip, or
Runtime - AK Readmes - DragonBriad if you download the "Dragonbraid for V4" .zip
(I've no idea why there are two .zip versions in DIM)

And thank you as well.

I've seen this character on many of SWAM's hair promos, but I can't seem to find her on the store, which maybe because she might be a custom one. But I thought I should at least ask:

P.S.

Is there a thread here somewhere for such 'identification' purposes?

Hello,

I want to install some people (Victoria...) manually. I'm using Daz 4.9.

Where should I install the TRX and DPC files coming with the installation bundles?

Can I just drag and drop them into My Public Library? At the root of this folder?

For now, I have no files in this folder, but only sub-folders. So I don't want to create a mes

Thanks a lot for your guidance.

Good news!
I realized that out of my expression packs there is only 1 that I can use all the time and which always gives a good result:
* Feel It! Mix and Match Expressions for Victoria 7

There are two others that I do own, but they make the characters look very silly most of the time, I don't know why. Not sure about the second one, but the other one is this:
* i13 100 Essential Expressions for Victoria 7
After buying two expression sets where I had to find out they don't look good on most of my characters out of the box, I stopped buying expression sets - despite I'd really like to have more like the "Feel It!" one, which does something different somehow, whatever it might be. But I'm not keen on try&error&refund, so I don't buy more of these at all. Lose-Lose situtation, I'd say. :-(
If I can have more control over the expression, like sliders, it might get better? Might give it a shot.

>>Was able to find a sheriff hat, and several police hats, but was particularly interested in finding a sheriff uniform for a Genesis 2 (male and female) charicter.

There is a law enforcement package, entitled Real Life Heroes, or Real World Heroes, DAZ product SKUs 4495, 9072 and 9085.  They are orlginally for Michael/Victoria 4 and Hiro/Aiko 4.  They can be fitted to Genesis 2 and Genesis 3 figures, with good results.  There is a sheriff matte, but no sheriff's campaign hat, just the police officer's visor cap, with sheriff's matte.

Good luck!

Deleted V4 and Morphs from Poser 6 and re-installed to Poser 10 with DIM. There was an extra Victoria 4 folder in Poser 10, and getting rid of that seems to have fixed everything. Now all morphs are in the same place as V4.

I need an opinion here.  I made two renders, one close up, and one full scene to include the cauldron and various props with a little post work to add the green magic and a little more luminescence to the candles.  The close up was rendered with Victoria 6's HD, and the full scale does not have it.  I didn't add the green magic to the close up, because without the cauldron, it would have been strange to give her a green glowing elbow.  Both files are close to 2 MB so you can zoom in if you open the thumbnails.

Wow! Really great work. I would use the close up -- the wider shot certainly offers more for the "story," but there is almost too much to look at.
