I don't understand your issue. The mermaid bundle tells you exactly what is in the bundle.
It doesn't require the Launa Mermaid set in that it can be applied without the mermaid tails.
The bundle was introduced at the same time as the Laguna Mermiad set and it was clear what was what.
I agree that you were at somewhat of a disadvantage just buying out of the store, but the product description is very clear about what is included. If you aren't sure, the forum could answer that question very rapidly.
Here's an older Iray render using the skin from the fantasy pacj
yes, store page says quite clearly
"Indigo, Jade and the Mermaid Fantasy Pack are high quality HD Character and Texture sets for Genesis 3 Female(s)."
At a glance I have to agree, it is a bit misleading, it may not have been back when all of it launched but its not very clear about the tail imo. A link to the tail would have been nice in there. I suppose it is an obvious fact that it would be nice if PAs would list other major items used in the promos, its silly that they dont most of the time. Also people are accustomed to bundles including all the major things featured in promos.
Yeah this is pretty bad. Even if you go into the Mermaid Fantasy Pack it still doesn't list the tail in required products.
Yeah, but it's not actually REQUIRED for this product to work, is it? I don't have it, so I can't try it, but it looks like it can be used as a standalone product. It won't give you the fishtail morphs, but it does give you the scales, and two other morphs: "This pack does not include any character morphs, it's a texture set ONLY. The only morphs included are two Mermaid ear morphs, as well as a Mermaid eye morph."
guess i should stop win jing and return the thing.
Yes, it works as a standalone I have both jade and indigo before i bought the tail and doesn't require the tail to use
Folks should probably recognize that Daz and PAs rarely if ever go back and modify product page dsescriptions for older products.
However, people still seem to think that they don't have any respinsibility to read the product description and ask question if they don't understand or want more information.
In this case a simple question to the forum would have removed all doubt and likely would have been answered in short order.
totally fooled me into thinking i was buying a mermaid bundle >.<
there is no actual texture for mermaid tail, would be why it isnt required
for reals lol
i think was the word "mermaid" in title confused me
decided not to return bundle, tail might come up in pa sale
or, how hard coud it be to model a mer tail. unflateable cylinder
perfect hindsight is always a gift
Its not about people not reading, or thinking they dont need to. It's just unintentionally misleading. And more so now since its not all clustered on new releases page. You have to dig to find out if or not its included and there isnt even a link to where to find it. The title is "mermaid" the tail is featured in the promos and its a bundle... uh one would immediately think its in it.
