    I really like Princess Petra's gothic dress (cute and elegant but not over the top) and the matching hair (looks realistic to me in that slightly messy style). But sadly, they'll go onto the wishlist for now.

    Same here. Wishlisted both of them. This vendor's products look really good as far as I can see. I already bought this outfit yesterday as the buy-in for the gift card sale.

    I really like both items as well, I think with a little effort, they can even be made to look quite authentically historical. Very nice to see things like this pop up as well!

    I think it's a lovely ensemble. I really like the veil that comes with it, too. smiley

    Agree, they look great. Wishlisted for now.

     

  • I think the Micropressure Details are a brilliant idea. I don't use G9 enough to warrant buying the product, but it's on my wishlist to remind me about them if I ever do.

    I only saw two promo images, They didn't show me much of what it does, except make very indented bra or back laces dents.

    Maybe just another idea to use Morph Master, instead.

    I sent in a message asking if there were supposed to be more.

    More likely those HD mesh weres culpted ... smoothing + collision can not make that HD effects. But any big use ...?. as different wearables can bring different marks at differenct positions ~~

    Agreed, but the morph dial list in the first image coupled with the morph list is pretty comprehensive. It's possible, no probable, that the morphs will not match perfectly with existing clothing, but I'd be surprised if it's not close enough to some clothing to be useful. I have been so impressed with the micro-pressure morphs on the G8F Isla Bikini that I think something similar should be used where possible.

    Only be noted that among 4 separate hair figures of dForce Princess Petra's Graceful Bun (Main, Bang, Transition and Stray) , 3 of them are pure polygonal hairs rather than SBH. They have 100K base polylines and 4.6 Mil vertices. Only Stray figure is an SBH and dForce ready and only Bangs and Stray have just 3 adjustment morphs ~~

    My Viewport sucks even if I have a pretty strong PC ~~  Loading this hair should be the final step before completing your Scene setup. But they do look pretty nice ~~  If the vendor converted them as SBHs with optimal settings, that would be much better.

    My eyes must be worse than I thought cause when I opened the promo in browser I could barely make out letters on my 32" monitor. I can't even make them out looking through my bi-focals. I think the wife stole the magnifying glass so didn't have that to assist. I'll just have to look at them in DS.

  • ArtiniArtini Posts: 9,712

    Maybe they suppose to be used in nude renders or another asset is around the corner...

    I did look at it on a tablet where zooming on an image is quite easy, may have given an advantage. Looking on a 27" 2k monitor on a PC now, I can read them (have varifocals aka trifocals). Is your monitor a 4k one? If so, the image could be way too small to read - 4k gives me a headach because everything's too small. However the morph list in the text of the sales page repeats the dial names, and is pretty long.

    Richard

    Thank you so much for posting this! With these specs, the hair would have been one of those that I never render, only look at sadly on occasion. I'll move them off of my WL right away.

    I guess I'll keep away from the vendor until I can upgrade my PC.

    Few days old now, but has anyone bought https://www.daz3d.com/lanor-bikini-for-genesis-9-81-and-8-female such that they can show me a wireframe of the front and back?

    EDIT: Well, the coupon I would have used has expired, but if anyone can actually tell me for future...

    The beverages released yesterday look great but it's too bad it's only alcoholic beverage.

    I don't drink alcohol, but do buy Rum, Whiskey, Ale, and Beer for cooking with. So there is still a use for it. But since I come from a family of alcoholics I have been researching non-alcoholic liquids to substitute for them in food. Maybe Censored could provide a non-alcohol set for folks too? Mocktails are becoming popular now.

    Originally the idea was to release the pack with an accompanying texture addon that could change them into non-alcoholic variations, but unfourtunatly I'm not as familiar with what sort of things would come in bottles like these. You mention Mocktails, I'd be interested in looking into those, thanks for the suggestion!

    What I had in mind while writing the message was something like orange/apple/strawberry/etc juice, lemonade, sparkling water or soda (obviously not one using the classic Coca cola shape): in France, when you're asking for some of them in a restaurant, you may get them in a glass bottle.

    A couple I found after looking shortly for them (just to give you an idea, I don't know if the design of the bottles are protected or not):

    It will likely not take advantage of the chiled material (at least I don't remember people storing syrup in the fridge here) but for the biggest bottles, you could maybe also have syrups as an option (grenadine, fruits, etc) : a couple of brand in France are also using glass bottles when selling their products.

    I know they are also brands that are selling non alcoholic version of alcoholic beverage but I don't have example in mind: I only heard about them while listening to a documentary about alcohol on the French TV.

    Here is a link to a page listing Alcohol Cooking Substitutions and as for drinks, the clear Ocean Spray Cranberry Juices mixed with Ginger Ale (I personnaly do not like selzter water) has been one of my favorites for decades. That of course is a trademark product in both cases, but a generic version with a neutral bottle/can might work. Of course there is always water with a slice of lemon to fall back on or coffee without alcohol. What I used when I visited with family as they were working bartenders.

    Thank you for considering our thoughts @Censored.

  • CensoredCensored Posts: 90

    Thank you both for these @memcneil70 and @Elor I'll take a look at these when I have the opportunity! 

    I really appreciate your help

    Just adding, in addition to great suggestions above, a nice Root Beer, Ginger Ale, and a cola that had the feel of a classic coke or Pepsi without obviously being those logos would be cool (kinda like nuka cola in Fallout). Something that would realistically fit the vibe of one of their ads from the 80s or 90s - that sort of thing maybe. Example attached.

    The modeling on the new pipe organ is impressive enough, but if it turns out to also be fully rigged....my God.

    It looks great. Wonder if someone will try to animate it together with the sound.

    It looks great and quite accurate from what I remember of the actual one.

    I don't gave the cathedral interior yet though, so I wonder if it's actually required...

    The "phatom of the opera" promo pic made me laugh because the opening of the musical was the fist thing I thought of when looking at the product page wink
