    The AntFarm definitely IS still a vendor, but Gothic City is no longer in the store. Products get culled for various reasons by either Daz or by the vendors themselves, so maybe it just stopped selling. It was a Poser-format prop with 3Delight material sidecars, so there may just have been no more demand for it.

    EDIT: Sorry for the repeat. The forum wasn't showing me the second page of responses.

    EDIT 2: For what it's worth, I have the set, and it might take some serious work to get it to look good in Iray. All of the lights need to be shifted to photometric or Iray mesh lights, and there are a fair number of lights and a large number of other surfaces that might need some adjustment and separating -- for example, there's a gate that should be metal but which is the same "gray fill" surface as the sidewalk curb, and while that might work in 3Delight and Poser renderers, it might look really odd in Iray. There's also the issue of converting it to Studio format as a whole, if it was going to get that sort of update. That would have been a fair amount of effort that might not have paid off for a vendor.

    First this bites. I thought I had bought it, but I can't find a record of it.

    Second, I just pulled up TheAntMan's store, selected show what I own and two items out of the total are no longer shown.

    I can only hope that Gothic City is down for updating to Iray and will return. Please.

    Here's the funny thing about this product.  It literally never occured to me this was meant to be an obfuscated Batman-themed set.  I saw the name, and the vaguely art-deco, dystopian feel to it... and assumed from the name of it that the merchant had created a themed city that had a bunch of vampires and Goth people in it.  I pictured a dark, cyberpunk sort of future city ruled over by one of Nosferatu's descendants or something.  laughlaughlaughlaugh

    for those wanting to see what it looked like

    I knew it was a Batman parody but different enough to make me doubt that was the reason it was pulled

    no, I never grabbed it either

    I pretty much assumed it was pulled for the same reason a lot of other older-ish product got pulled: over time, less and less people were buying it.  And yeah, I never got around to buying it either, even tho I did have it on my get list, and like vaguely retro deco stuff.
