I love this! Using paperclips as a ladder, fantastic and fun idea.
I thought that too! Bought it anyway - I expect I can cobble something together with LIE!
Maybe an attempt to avoid an editorial license? Maybe the crown has copyright on the RAF roundels. I couldn't say, but there seems a blanket crown copyright on many obscure things, including Acts of Parliament. Regards, Richard.
Ah, another nice construction set from the Alchemist. It's not like there isn't a wealth of castle construction sets already. But he does outstanding work.
Thanks a lot, benniewoodell.
I like https://www.daz3d.com/oversized-props-and-poses-for-mister-bobble very much.
Such a nice add on for Mister B.
@JOdel, it gives us a lot of interchangeable parts to mix and match across the ages.
@Artini, you know what I had in my mind. The dragon was a great touch.
The Hawker Fury brought back memories from RAF Lakenheath where I went to the USAF NCO Academy in the late 80s and it was in a building that had been the RAF Officers' billet and club back in the day. That part of the base was haunted by the ghosts of lost airmen whose planes crashed on the runways in the 30s/40s. One hung around a hallway of the bedrooms, so it was assigned to anyone.
Pretty shocked that the promos for Secret Details made it to the store (NSFW).
I have the equivalent for G8 and if this new version is anything like it, I can recommend.

the clay render promo makes the set look huge, but all the other promos barely show the set. Strange choice.
For those who do not want to see these types of images and products, there is the option, which is also deactivated by default and must be marked on purpose. Account > Info Account > Edit > Show Mature Images.
So those who have decided to see them see these types of images.
I wasn't upset about it, just didn't expect to see something like that in the Daz store. Funny enough, I'd opened up the product page, and without knowing what the product was yet, inspecting the main promo to see what kind of skin details were on offer.
I agree.
Based on the promos it is hard to get an impression of how it looks if you don't do closeups.
I noticed that too.
For what it's worth ... I don't have time to fool with it today, but I took a quick look. It's pretty huge. In the image, I've turned off all the "ceiling" and "roof" surfaces I can so you can get a look. The surfaces are a bit quirky so there are some I can't turn off individually; the "aquarium" area (it's the selection outlined in yellow, the half-round) has all its walls and ceilings as a single surface, for example.
There is also a "pit" area underneath all this which looks to be pretty extensive. You can barely see any of it in this shot.
There are six articulated doors (not separate objects, but bones). The entire set is a single object. The props and cameras load as their own groups of objects; the "Small Tables" props, for whatever reason, have been grouped together separately from the other props. The lit dance floor is a prop, not part of the set; you can change its surface and emission color, but you can't easily, say, make the squares different colors.
There are materials choices for several parts of the set and for some of the props. Interestingly, there are four floor materials for the "backroom" (the room with the dance floor) and four floor materials for the front room(s), but they're the same four materials. Not sure yet why the backroom floor has a separate set of mats icons, unless it's loading a "shaped" surface image (e.g. matted to the exact shape of the backroom floor) instead of a tileable texture.
That's all I can tell you on a quick glance.
Interesting - thanks for the info.
I might coinsider it, although I prefer something I can kit-bash, and that sounds not to be the case for this - at least out of the box.
Yup, it'd be pretty hard to kitbash. Surfaces aren't broken up in a way that facilitates it. I'd like to reuse the aquarium area as seating space, for example (the entire half-round area I've got selected there is unusable space, it's full of water and fish), but the way the surfaces are divided, it doesn't work out; I'd have to turn off the "wood paneling" surface that's half the wall below the aquarium glass, and that turns the paneling off in several other places in the set. And so on. This one's definitely a "use it the way it comes."
@columbine, thanks for the info. I have to say, it sounds like the set is quite unwieldy.
@columbine, thanks from me as well. Yes, does sound unwieldy, at least a bit. Could you post its zip file size as well, possibly?
Edit: Went ahead and bought it anways, so if anyone wants to know as well, it's 309 MB in the zip, not terrible.
Remember four years ago, the big deal about showing shoulders of underage characters?. Like a kid can't wear a tank top or swim suit but genitals exposed are fine? SCOFFS at the hypocrisy. Shocked too. In my opinion NSFW is an understatement. I think you are being too kind. PORN might be a better abbreviation. Or maybe the phrase 'Going to the dogs'?
I'm sorry, but human genitals merely existing is not inherently sexual or pornographic. They just aren't.
It depends on the state. Florida law 23D differs from other states, such as Alabama, Mississippi, Texas, and Georgia.It's crucial to be aware of the potential restrictions in different states to ensure online store operates legally and ethically. Usually age verification is one of the requirements, not a check box.
Edit. Fact: Daz does not know my age.
Fact. When I turn mature content on DAZ does not ask my age. Hence there is no robust age verification system in place.
That was four years ago, and policies have changed since then. There is no hypocrisy.
The explicite promos initially did take me aback, just because I wasn't expecting it. But merely showing human anatomy in a matter-of-fact way is, in my opinion, less skeezy than some of the outfits that are sold here, especially from the pre-G8 era. I say that as someone who doesn't mind skeez at all, but sees the value in keeping certain parts of the internet skeeze-free.
Sorry I didn't see this in time, tsroemi. No, it's not particularly huge. You can't always tell. Filesize bloat seems to mostly be about surfaces, not geometry. (Meanwhile, Sci-Fi Rec Room, a set not nearly as large in geometry footprint, is an install so big it has to be split into two download packages and one of those goes right up to the 1 GB package limit. I haven't loaded the set yet to have a look at it. Those better be SOME surfaces ...)
It was also something reported by a PA, not an official announcement, so the summary may not have fully reflected whatever the rule was.
I find myself tempted to snort over Mrarshan's new product of the head lights for G9.
Can't help but think back to the days of gen4 and the frustration of trying to get rid of the lighted mouth glitch.
The product does look interesting. Weird, but definitely interesting.
And racing cars again... Customers write their fingers to the bone in the forum that they need normal everyday cars. And what does Daz do? Throws the next couple of racing/luxury cars onto the market. Well - good for my bank account.
Most interesting about the "car bundle" is the fact that all of the cars have the steering wheel on the right side not the left , like in the states. Not sure they're going to get a lot of sales on this, but at least our cousins across the pond might get someting out of it. You'd think a product which talks about the ability to change out parts between vehicles might've considered "switchable" steering wheels. Oh well
Daz didn't do anything. They are a brokerage and don't make content. The PA's are the ones who decide what gets made.
Japanese Drifters, righthand drive like Australia where many ( that are grey exports of older ones that don't meet Japan's stringent roadworthiness checks )end up
people do drive them on the road
my old Nissan 300ZX I used have and kept me poor for parts even fits the catagory
I almost didn't look at it until I saw RHD. Very unusual
