@barbult Nicely done! Do you remember what lighting you used? It looks similar to DA Real World Lighting, which I am currently using. The police one I'll show everyone will be in about an hour (the other one is rendering and it's a huge size) and I am using DA Real World Lighting.
That Rogue Waves Hair today in PC+ is $24.95 which even at 70% off is about $8.00 (nice try Daz, 7.99 is only a penny off.) A bit pricey for PC+, that sounds just like a regular product. It is, however, a lovely hair, from the promos the hairline is amazing! (as usual from Chevybabe25) so you may want to use your May $6 coupon for a DO, which then makes it a fantastic deal for 1.99 I already used mine, so this won't be bought anytime soon. With it being a PC+ item, at least you have that option. I'd pounce on it.
I issued a correction- Toyen's police uniform does come with a belt and accessories. This is Toyen's uniform and belt, with Fugazi's accessories on it. For some reason I didn't see the belt accessories on the original outfit. It doesn't matter for what I am using it for, and it's cartooned anyway, but you get a really nice setup just with Toyens (and no unbuttoned, plunging neckline. If you need that, go Fugazi.) Toyen's belt accessories (not shown) seem to be more detailed.

Be sure and note what you get with that character. Three hair colors for the netherlands, but only one eye color? Anyway, sadly lacking in options in makeup, lip color, eye color, etc. I think the makeup is all lumped together. Brows are black, 3 browns, that's it. (No white- can't do fantasy, and no blonde or red.) So really can't recommend her unless you get her on sale or want to change up brows and use someone else's eye colors. Eyebrows aren't my favorite either, it's that sticky look without a hair out of place, but that's just my preference.
She does have an innocent air about her, and if you change out the brows, would be a great kid.
So this is just a quickie to show you the outfit and police truck. I didn't take a lot of time to move things perfectly (put the black radio more in front of the white panel and move the red light from the hand) but kinda rushing this morning to get the dogs trimmed and bathed while doing book renders lol.
Also, I did look and didn't see any materials for that badge. It's rather flat and lacks detail. Is it supposed to be a dull, plain silver without any detail? Seems to be lacking its materials.
dForce Hollywood has awful pants. The drape is like the thinnest rayon. I do wonder if that suite was made for the last figure Jazz though- it has that sort of retro vintage quality.
Oh I do like the truck and the car! Wishlisted both for future sale hopefully. Nice render! Bet the book is going to be great!
The thing is the fat on the fat characters seems to defy gravity in most poses. It makes them look like that rubber mask Russell Crowe wore at the end of It's a Beautiful Mind.
DId you guys check your email? I got a survey. It asked what I wanted to see more of in the store and I said domestic and wild animals. I said it's ridiculous we don't even have persian cats. I added we don't need any more bathrooms, bedrooms, bikinis, or saunas, not that they asked lol. There were about three pages of questions. They said they would be giving gift certificates until the desired number of surveys were received, so see if you got one and complete it ASAP. The gift certificates will be put in accounts before June 6th.
I said more diverse ethnic representation, and also centaur clothes.
@gordig Centaur clothes is an excellent idea! I also mentioned a rewards system for what Daz could add to make it better.
I went for authentic historical clothing, more good quality male clothing and more animals. I wish I'd thought of something to make it better, but I couldn't come up with anything in a hurry!
I almost mirrored MelanieL, but added professional women's clothing (judges, doctors, teachers, ... ) not stripper acts, more children clothes who don't look like hookers or pimps, and real clothes for guys that is not just date night stuff; then more historical periods and ethnic clothes (think real African clothing), then take it realistic and move it up to near future and far future for real people and not the super rich or a trophy wife. Suggested they think about Black Panther, there were killer costumes in it and the civilization was breathtaking. Maybe someone could think 'Fusion' in clothes/sets for the future.
I also asked if they could do anything to help D|S be able to adjust print size for vision imparement. My recent eyesight problem that went on for two or three weeks made working in D|S a nightmare. Adjusting Win 10 screen to 125% helped a little but still, D|S might be able to do it better.
Brought up quality control on the front end. And the remaining issues I have in D|S with my product purchase dates, install dates, product release dates being messed up since the store upgrade. I tried to remember other things but I had a dog that wanted to go to the bush.
Then later did a render and thought of a whole lot of other things.
Just did mine, I wish I had thought of the domestic animals I should of took some time and write down some things before doing it because like memcneil70 said I always think of a whole lot of other things after the fact. I did mention a Rewards system also. I use the one at Rendo alot. I also mentioned better more informative documentation of features.
Some of my input:
Various automobile ages/models - not just sport car and luxury models. More male outfits with working parts (pants zip, shirts & coats open, top button close/open, realistic winkles and draping).
Soft body physics, fast character load time (seconds not minutes because of too many morphs)
My test of Fred at 60% and I really like him! He has personality like Ollie. I don't know what I'll use him for right now but he does fit a type I was lacking. You take off a few pounds and he really fits the Jewish/Italian/NYC/LA/Hollywood type that we haven't had so far!
This one I think was 50%
@wonderland You did a wonderful job with him! He definitely adds to the gene pool.
Another thing I mentioned in the survey- the ReadMes of course. Said I use them to find where a product is located and it's cut back on my spending because it's just a hassle to locate things as Daz didn't standardize where things had to be placed. (Man, that was a huge DUH on their part. Back to QA.)
I also wanted to mention H&C Police Uniform for Genesis 3 males- which I think has the best shoulder patches, hat insignia, and badge. (Best by far, I might add.) I don't know if you can kit-bash or not, or how well it would fit to G8 but it's a really nice uniform.

Shirt: no issues.
Pants: need to add smoothing modifier
Hat: no issues
Shoes: set the feet invisible
I didn't try any morphed shapes, so there may still be issues with more extreme shapes.
Badges, patches, belt, etc. are part of their item of clothing's mesh, but the textures can be edited separately.
It's completely fine to have varying opinions on eyebrows :) as I have my own preferences, which don't always (or often LOL) line up with other folks. Its not only fine, it's encouraged on my threads. Jump in anytime! :) and thanks for the observations about the Acicia Bundle fox girl.
@nath Thanks so much for showing that
I would like more realistic morphable to toon DAZ animals too. I've bought most DAZ Originals animals but they are sort of antiquated. I'd like them to be morphable in sort of a toon way. So realistic & toon morphs. Sort of a combo of AM's new mouse & Joe Quick's new mouse in one.
My survey wish list was to "better than all the rest" animation tools in DAZ Studio. So short and sweet wish but the most difficult to pull off too.
I think Novica's wish for more top of the line animals as DAZ Originals would be more accessable to any business in this line of work though. I like toon animals as morphs to the realistic animals.
I also asked for more historical clothing and animals. Good to know there are several of us who feel the same way.
I asked for better quality men's outfits or dforced
It was mostly a joke suggestion, because I'm part of a small minority that actually buys centaur products and renders them regularly. My own experiments in making modern centaur clothing gave me some more insight into why products like this don't already exist.
Just remembered another suggestion I had for them, add back the 'Required Products' to not only new/currently sold items, but the old/no longer sold so we can figure out what a texture set belongs to when it is a bland or overused name. I am lucky I have copies of the promo pages from when I bought the items, but often I will just use the online Product Library as a shortcut when I can't remember the source product for a PA's textures who is no longer with Daz but made lovely textures for so many sets and furniture items in the past.
But I think my biggest wish is for more front-end quality assurance to ensure the product works as expected, doesn't throw duplicate ID errors, and has proper and complete Metadata. If anything would cut down on complaints and the excessive workload Customer Service is dealing with, that would. And increase company pride and reputation again.
It seems a bit unusual for Arki. She usual does very beautiful clothing.
Of course, when you AREN'T looking for a whistle, you find them. X-Fashion Uniform 03 has a whistle if you need one.
