    Does anybody else feel the urgent need to buy the two new flower sets from MartinJFrost? So important to own them all!

    https://www.daz3d.com/snow-in-summer--cottage-garden-flowers

    https://www.daz3d.com/flowering-aubretia--cottage-garden-flowers

    And so beautiful...

    YES! I'm  huge collector or flowers and these are very pretty.

    Yup, in my cart.

    Less expensive if you buy the bundle instead of the seperate items:

     https://www.daz3d.com/cottage-garden-flowers-vol-1

    I had missed the bundle. Grrrr.

    I didn't see a bundle either. Did they add it later? I haven't checked out, so I swapped the two for the bundle.

    I'm not sure but I think it may have been added later. I don't remember seeing it early in the day.

    @ Richard: You could always buy the bundle and return the two individual items

    True, though since I had tokens thatmight be hard to work out

    As of right now, the bundle is on the main store page, but not on the sale page.

    Thanks for mentioning the bundle. I had wishlisted the separate flowers initially, but left them out of the cart I was building.

     It has been on my sale page as well as the store page for awhile. Maybe you are seeing a cached version.

    I prophecied you were going to do that, Matt.

    Or, more specifically, I thought this morning "Someone's going to try to put a bunny outfit on one of these bunnies ... and, if I had to bet, I'd say it was likely to be Matt Castle."

    Damn it, I'm becoming predictable.

    I guess it was pretty likely it would be me, seeing as I've already got the workflow for fitting clothes to different figures. That said, although I'd seen the previous on the forum and knew the product was coming, the idea only struck me earlier.

    Very sorry @Richard Haseltine! When I posted the bundle didn't exist yet, i know for sure!  Hours later,  when i pulled the trigger i stumbled upon it when i went through the sale page again. Next time i will post. My apologies!

    I really like the new mini scenes with the half-painted wall, it seems like a great background with many options, with or without the painting accessories (https://www.daz3d.com/mini-scenes-wall-painting). Also, Feng's new character looks lovely to me,very sweet and special - she's here: https://www.daz3d.com/fn-amelia-hd-for-genesis-9.

    I agree about the mini-scenes series by the PA @SilvaAnt3d and have been collecting them. They make great Environment/Backdrop sets and have excellent props. I love the PA's store as well, as it focuses on normal homes/settings in general. 

    Another series I have been collecting is by the PA @FWDesign and available on DAZ+ and got https://www.daz3d.com/nousu as soon as I saw it. They are very versatile and one of my favs for character backdrops.

    I wish that bundle of flowers had been posted early on, I bought both of the individual parts. With one token, it is not worth the time to request an adjustment from an overworked Customer Service for a few cents of my store credit.

    @memcneil70, did you take a long time rendering all those tiny light sources in the new DAZ+ environment? I'm debating getting it because it looks so amazing, but I'm thinking all the lights will probably take forever on my litte mobile 2260. Can you share your experience? The render's really fun, by the way laugh

    Can those props be used in other scenes directly?

    Okay, one really negative thing I found concerning FN Amelia: The body doesn't match the face's age at all, not in the slightest tiny bit. Should have looked more closely at the promos, but I was so enticed by the face. So, the body is the basic 20-something one with perfect skin. Which is most annoying to me. Couldn't they have at least done the neck and hands to match? This looks so unreal, like a young woman faking age with putty. I try to make up for it with aging morphs and such, but really, one shouldn't have to. What is the sense in that? I'm thinking of returning her, seriously. (No, I won't, I still love the face. But am quite, quite angry nevertheless.)

     Sorry I have been offline due to severe weather. On my iPad. Those lights have a sub-set that can be used from the main scene or added later. There are 3 sub-sets if I remember correctly. I have a RTX-4090 card, but only 32gb vram and Ram in the Win 11 laptop. But it took so little time I barely turned around and back and it was at 85% and finished in a flash. The only thing I had to fiddle with was making a group of the set's bits to move it back just a slosh as the cat was hanging off the edge of the pool. I think I used Camera 3? There are like 10 cameras? 

    These sets are like a Stonemason set, litte nooks and crannies of joy and different depending on what you need.

    I don't see why not. I don't have my computers up, so I am working off of my memory.

    This was the thing that struck me immediately from the store renders, and is why I didn't buy the figure. I liked the face, but it appears Feng decided to call it a day after doing the head and stuck it on a stock Daz perfect twenty-year-old body.

    That's not exclusive to Amelia. Feng's first more aged character, Adelia, has a full six-pack, and even characters that present as elderly, like Ada and Eleanor, might have flab, stretch marks and so on, but Feng apparently can't help but give characters ab definition.

    Anyone know if https://www.daz3d.com/fe-side-swept-short-hair-for-genesis-9 has the new fancy hair system?

  • GordigGordig Posts: 10,058

    It looks transmapped to me, and there are maps in there that wouldn't be needed for SBH. As far as I know, FESoul has yet to make any SBH.

    Thank you, that's really helpful! Your card of course is much, much better than mine, but if yours goes through the scene in a flash, then maybe mine won't at least totally crawl. I think I'll give it a try. Cheers!

    I swear I bought a FESoul hair recently that mentioned the Omni shader. I went to use it a few days ago and couldn't find it in the store description of any of my recent purchases. I remember thinking "wow - FESoul has given stand-based a go" and sticking it straight into my cart purely from curiosity.

    Am I going crazy or does anyone else remember that too? Maybe it was a different vendor? It's been annoying me for a few days now that I can't identify which hair it was. I hope a store description hasn't been changed somewhere after purchase, because that wouldn't be cool.

    This must be a very bad product if they have to make the promos so dark... No, seriously: Please, Daz, make sure that the illustrations are informative enough for the customer. I would be quite interested in https://www.daz3d.com/fg-haunted-house , but the far too dark pictures keep me from buying. The promo pics for a house should also contain floor plans.

    Not that one, but it looks fabulous and is on my wishlist!

    Did some forum sleuthing and I finally found the hair(s)/vendor in question: OOT, who has recently started doing strand-based hair, which makes me incredibly happy.

    https://www.daz3d.com/dforce-strand-based-top-wave-long-bob-hair-for-genesis-9

    https://www.daz3d.com/dforce-strand-based-messy-low-ponytail-hair-for-genesis-9

    https://www.daz3d.com/dforce-strand-based-everyday-updo-3-hair-for-genesis-9

    Glad I wasn't going crazy - just made a mistake on which vendor had made the switch. No wonder I couldn't resurface the hair!

    I love the new omni shader, so much so that my shopping habits have completely changed since I've started using stand-based hairs with it. I've got so many lovely hairs from various artists in my library, but whenever I use them now, I take a note to replace them with strand-based porducts before going into production mode with those characters. The new omni shaders not only look fantastic, the stand-based hairs are super quick to render on my system. At the quality I render at and my the workflow I use, strand vs other types can be the difference between a 20 minute and 3 minute render. I simply won't buy non-strand-based hair going forward, although that's from the fortunate position of already having a rather large library of hair.

    Will we ever see FESoul strand-based hair too? I think I'd wet myself with glee if that happens.

    @tsroemi I'm running quite an old system, an oldish i7 with a GTX1060 6GB card, so with that in mind I try and endeavour to streamline and optimise the scenes as much as possible to cater for everyone. It make be a slightly slow to render on older systems, but it will certainly render fine that's for sure :)

    @memcneil70 Thank you very much for your honest feeback on this set, and my others, it's really appreciated. I'm glad that you enjoy exploring all those little nooks and crannies in the sets. Lovely render too by the way, Tom has definitely made up with Jerry :)
