    We will never stop supporting Aiko 3! (And her slight variants, Aiko 19 and BelBel.)

    Alas, I don't have the modeling skills to support A3 in any way other than actually continuing to use her in renders. Yet.

    If I were to do one for girls, it would be a knee-length one based on real uniform catalogues, not a "Sailor Moon" style with the itty bitty skirt, and I'm not sure that would really sell enough copies either.

    Personally, I would be all over that, but I doubt it would fit the ticket for Aiko :D

    Don't get me wrong, I enjoy making clothes. But doing supermorphing clothing takes more work than anything else I do, and DAZ is pickier about clothing than any other category I've submitted, so there's much more risk as well. It gets mentally and emotionally exhausting for me now, and I'm less likely to do it for anything that isn't quick (as tiny outfits like the ones from the morph add-ons I do are quick) or a guaranteed seller (as with suits and tuxes, stressful but worth it) or the jackpot of both (Genre Undergarments G2M).

    Yeah, I understand that. I'll admit, when I look at certain, well, actually, a lot of clothing sets I see in the store, it seems to me DAZ isn't picky enough, or rather, picky about the entirely wrong things, but whatever it is, I can understand that it must hurt investing time and passion into a project, only to see it rejected, be it by DAZ or the consumer base. Emotionally and financially.

    That being said, I do very much like your smaller sets, in fact, I even prefer them over the bigger sets. Your Slim jeans for Genesis 2 are probably among my most used Gen 6 items at this point. They're great for mixing and matching. I presume that's one of the reasons I am so fond of artists like supernova, 3D-Age or Hongyu who tend to create smaller sets.

    Oh, and I'm sure you know this already, but I'd buy that... :lol:

    Suspect the Hawthorn Hair promo is using a mix with the legacy shapes. It's an Aiko all right. But I think a blend of 3 or 4 and probably one of the Victorias.

    That's Girl 4 I think. She's one of the fits listed.

    Nice idea! The only genie set I know of is for V4 and M4 (plus Fredrik's Genie for A3).

    My perfect dream come true would be a set of stuff by Sickleyield, Ravenhair and Aave Nainen for clothes, Raiya, Valea, P3D and FWArt for characters, Valea, Goldtassel, AprilYSH and 3DCelebrity for hairstyles plus Stonemason, Valandar and Jack Tomalin for props.

    Sorry to disappoint but you'll have to deal with something from me. :down:

    ...letsee,

    An Aiko 3 Autofit clone.

    As others have mentioned, no new UV map.

    A proper formal Kimono ensemble that isn't either Optitex Dynamic or "skimpy" (with Geta that don't deform when posing).

    A Bubble Bazooka.

    Xin Xin "Redeux"

    Very very easy, save them as parented props.

    I would love for A6 to be more like A4 than A5, i use anime-character morphs because i like the stylized look and A5 wasn't quite that, a set of anime-emotion morphs would be great too for stuff like the ^_^ smile, i use transferred A4-morphs for those now, but morphs made for G2F would of course be even better.

    What i would like to see made for A6: a maid uniform like this A3 one, rather than the victorian maid uniform or the overly skimpy ones on the store at the moment (No offense to the people who made those), i just like the happy medium of the "Maid café"-style of uniform.

    ...SickleYield & Fuseling released a Furisode that isn't dynamic. I also have the Kimono Expansion for the old Aiko3 MFD as well. True the sleeves of the A3 one require a bit of extra work when posing, but it isn't impossible.

    Royloo had a nice kimono for A3 that I'd like to see updated to Genesis or Genesis 2. I would absolutely love to see an update of the MFD Kimono Expansion. However, both the Royloo kimono and the MFD version are more like yukata than formal (e.g. furisode) kimono. (Honestly, I have more use for yukata anyway, in most scenes.)

    The SickleYield/Fuseling furisode is a masterpiece as far as rigged TriAx clothing goes, though I still struggle with getting it to look the way I want in scenes. The OptiTex one by Draagonstorm is very nice, as well, if somewhat difficult to use (the usual OptiTex rigging won't work for it because it's too loose-fitting). The addons that allow one to pin sections in place are very helpful. DS users are in better shape at this point with kimono alternatives than ever before, though I will always welcome more options in this area, as my manga characters regularly wear various kimono of different types, and I'll use all the variations I can get my hands on. :)

    Geta can be parented to the feet, even if they are distributed as rigged. This is what I recommend for any truly rigid wearables.

    I'd like to see some reasonably authentic looking yoroi (samurai armor) for both G2M and G2F... and/or fantasy, contemporary, or futuristic versions. :)

    Also, I've been looking for a kyu, or Japanese bow. I had a model at one point, lost it in a hard drive crash, and I've been trying to remember where I found it. I'd love a good Japanese archery set for A6! Like these, please? http://www.flickriver.com/groups/14915331@N00/pool/interesting/

    Edited to add: just found a new Japanese bow model at ShareCG: www.sharecg.com/v/76303/gallery/11/Poser/Yumi Yay! :)

    I'm sure what ever comes out of the House of Fisty will be superb hon. Your work is always fabulous and delightful! While I'm more of a Hiro fan than Aiko I'm sure what ever you release will be in the cart with the rest! lol

    I *just* figured out what I want in the Aiko bundle-- all the male chars we haven't gotten yet *snort*

    Seriously though... I hope Hiro isn't too far behind so she has someone to hang out with.

    I knew I forgot at least one person from my favourite DAZ vendors' list, sorry :coolgrin:! If you made something as cool as Sun Hair for Gen2M... Well, I'd take a serious look at any bundle it would appear in!

    Wouldn't it be nice if we could actually make a favorites list of vendors on here to watch what they're doing? :D (hint, hint, Daz)

    Changeling, that is good point! Rendo has this option, I always enjoyed it.

    As for A6... Countdown-To-Summer is coming to an end, right? Around the 15th? Will there be A6 soon after???

    Greetings,

    Changeling, that is good point! Rendo has this option, I always enjoyed it. Hmmm; I could implement that...

    I would guess that C2S ends on Sunday, Monday is a catch-up sale, and Tuesday is the A6 release. But I'm just guessing.
