    The Hard Tail Rat also looks pretty decent, loosely based off a customised BMW R18 with the "boxer" engine (and it even has a kickstand)..

    That's been in and out of my cart a few times, I like the engine and trust the PA but don't think I'd use anything that style.

    with G9 the eyes have seperate material zones so it is easy to put a texture to one eye and a different one to another.

    Noted, thanks. Not really done much with G9 but I did buy some stuff in the sale so I'll have to have a play.

    I'd like to see bags, pouches and packs with straps that could be posed to simulate sitting on a surface rather than hanging off a body. Looks odd to have a bag on the table with the handles pointed skywards. Static props would be ok in the style of some of the laundry on the floor products that are available.

    Thanks for the info all. Being in the U.S. you don't always hear about some of the history in other countries and I was curious what the British Civil war was or if that is what the British called the American Revolution since it was against the British.

    That Civil War lead eventually to my family in Scotland escaping from the British Isles to the Americas as the clan we belonged to were to be put to death. My male ancestor marrying into the MacNeills and giving up rights to his clan in the late 1600s. Both sides of my family fought on each side of the American Civil War, or as my mother was taught 'The War Between the States'.

    And @FSCMDesigns we both share a great grandmother who was full Cherokee, but my mother was not part of the Cherokee Nation. My father's mother's father was a Native American taken from his family as a baby and given to a white family to be raised as a white, with no knowledge of his tribal ancestry or family. 

    It is too bad a PA can't join with Tribal artists to create approved products for 3D usage. Though I could understand the reservations if the items were used for NFSW renders.

  • A vintage commercial airline interior would be nice, as well as both vintage and modern airline attendant outfits. Once again, I'm asking for realistic, not "sexy".

    I'd also like open or bulging pocket morphs wherever possible. it would be nice for characters to be able to put hands in jacket pockets, or for jeans, for example, to have bulging back pockets where a wallet might be carried.

    I'd love to see dwarven stuff, like buildings and more underground works. There are a few cool such items

    I'd like to see solarpunk, dieselpunk, decopunk stuff.

    I'd love seeing more Art Deco and Nouveau environment sets. A nicely made Deco salt-water pool model is something I would probably insta-buy. 

    My innermost 3D model desires are so exceptionally niche I'd probably have to learn to model, or at least convert models, if I'm going to get them, tho. I want coastal, southern Norwegian, 20th century stuff, and I don't know of a single person who makes that!

    Since we already have so many Egyptian (or fantasy Egyptian) models: how about (realistic) Sumerian, Assyrian, Babylonian, Hittite, ancient Hebrew or Persian themes? Meshitup did an outfit or two on this a long time ago, and there's some stuff at 'rosity as well, but not much. Ramesses II's famous battle of Kadesh (1274 BC) against the Hittites would offer interesting subjects, for example. But it wouldn't have to be only such pompous subjects; the everyday life of people so many millennia ago would be just as exciting.

  • I'd like a vintage grocery store  (with both interior and exterior) and items like merchantile scales (Toledo), wrapping paper, string spools, boxes of produce to be placed out front of the store during the day, etc. It would be awesome if the props were rigged.

    I'd also like functional vintage kitchenware like rigged a-frame toasters, stove top coffee percolators (with all the parts separate), working food mills and meat grinders, etc.

     

     

     

  • Here's a further specific request refined from my original comment - I'd really like to have a fully equipped, pre-modern-day hospital that is in working, functional order. The whole "abandoned" thing was discussed to death in the recent thread on that subject, but hospitals in particular are settings that you only see in nice, working order if they're present-day. (Hospital settings from bygone eras are ripe fodder for horror settings, I get that, but there was a day when they were shiny and new, at one point the latest and greatest of modern medicine.)

    It would be great to have some medical settings and equipment (and poses!) suitable for medical treatment and care from the general WWI-WWII timeframe.

  • I'd love to see historically accurate items in the store ( Victorian through to 1930's if I have a choice ). One of the challenges of trying to make historically accuate items is the sheer amount of detail needed to make something look convincing. If a PA chooses to go down the 'steampunk' route ( or other fantasy genre ) then they can leave off whatever details they feel are unneccesary, but for historically accurate it's all got to be represented albeit in geometry/displacement map/bump map etc. I've made quite a lot of 1/76 scale railway items, both from kits and scratchbuilt, and again the level of detail is a challenge. For a brick wall, if you use a flat sheet it looks false, even though the depth of mortar in a wall is probably less than 1/2 an inch at full size ( so about 0.1 mm on the model ).

    Properly done, non sexualized, non US, historically accurate military uniforms from late 1800's, up to WWI. Both field and ceremonial, with weapons and accessories (backpacks, belts, ammo pouches, etc.).

    For infantry and cavalry (including helmets).

    British, Austro-Hungarian...

    Preferably for Gen 8, 8.1 and 9 at once, and most importantly - both for males and females.

  • I love Stonemason's stuff, because of their quality and would love to see more streets, buildings, interiors, carts, streets and other objects. Already aquired a lot of them, but could still use some of it from 1600 to 1900.
    European stuff, but maybe Asien and US stuff as well.

    I've seen that old stuff is also provided in Blender, Cinema4D, Max and Maya format. Would love to see these formats for newer stuff as well. At least native Blender format.

    Do you know of any examples of female military uniforms of that era? Prior to WWI the number of uniformed female military was pretty much zero unless I am mistaken, at least so in Europe. Florence Nightingale did introduce nursing to military hospitals during the Crimean war, and the nurses might have had uniforms, but I doubt they were considered to be military.

    Havos,

    That really narrows it down to a select group, doesn't it? The Dahomey Amazon warriors of West Africa come to mind.  Fits the bill. Female military. Non US, non European to boot. They were disbanded in the early 1890s.

    The onna-musha of Japan might fit the bill too, although I'm not sure if there were enough to form a military unit of sorts. They last fought against the Meiji government in the 1870s.

    Cheers!

  • Those women who are documented as fighting in the British military tended to do so as men until very recently. There were a number of women in the Royal Navy at the time of Trafalgar (https://thedockyard.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2021/05/210505_Hidden-Heroines-From-sewing-flags-to-engineering-apprenticeships-meet-the-extraordinary-women-of-Historic-Dockyard-Chatham-FINAL.pdf), and the National Army Museum says there were a few at Waterloo https://www.nam.ac.uk/explore/timeline-women-army#:~:text=Several%20women%20accompany%20the%20Anglo,the%20aftermath%20of%20the%20battle. They didn't usually get identified as women & get to stay in the forces, though.

    Hey, I caught that reference!

    Also, I am always down for more monstrous women that aren't super sexualized. And alternatively, male monsters that look like they belong on a romance book cover.

  • I'd like a cafeteria with a food serving area and cashier, not just an eating area. I can't think of the proper name, but there's a ledge you put your tray on and slide it down, and a glass shield that has the food behind it in warming bins. Modular would be great, so one can build smaller or larger cafeterias, preferably with a unit that has a bend. A self-serve salad bar and sandwich/drink fridge with packaged food items would be great too, as would proper food preparation attire and hair with hair/beard nets, aprons, hair caps, rubber gloves, etc.

    A "street food" market would be great too, similar to what they have in Thailand.

    There is also a huge lack of ethnic foods, other than some Asian dishes.

    A proper wood stove.

    There's one made by Anima Gemini, but it's old (as a 3D model), too cute and looks low quality (by today's standards)

    There are a couple freebie sites out there with equipment like that, but you'll have to convert it for use in Daz Studio and supply your own food for it.

    I would really love sets and characters from 1930s cartoons, in that "bigfoot/inkblot/rubber hose animation" style. Whether 2D shaded or modern 3D, I love that aesthetic. Betty Boop's kitchen would be near the top of my list. That checkerboard floor, stylized yet reallistic appliances, etc. Being able to rig in that style in DS would also be cool.

    This triggered my mind to the https://www.daz3d.com/mobile-catering-truck-collection and if other PAs are allowed to add to it? Or could they create their own versions of food trucks which are all over urban areas nowadays, and come in all food ethnicities or hybrids.

    Or simple ethnic restaurants that slot into a strip mall's standard size. A mom-pop operation that might one day expand into the next room over. I have known so many which just started with an old home stove, refrigerator, table, some shelves, and their family all pitching in to work there. Then adding in a counter, drink area, more high-end appliances, expansion... Next door is a dojo, tattoo parlor, quilt store, beauty parlor, barber shop, small clothes store, pet supply store... Some of the best food going. Simple fittings for sitting down to eat, and a place for a delivery person to pick-up orders to go.

    Just pick a few food types and have at it.

    If they were officially allowed to enlist and fight at the time, women would likely have worn the same looking uniform as men (if not the same exact uniform), as they are doing right now when they are serving in a similar role.

    In a recent topic about that big bundle of really good looking military clothes, @memcneil70 said that she did just that when she served in the US military and that in 2023, the US military has yet to provide a battle dress uniform tailored to women.

    From what I remember about an article I read on the subject a couple of years ago, about, I think, the French Army newest uniform at the time (the first tailored taking into account both men and women, and not just only men like the previous one), I suspect that most armies are as late to the 'let's tailor uniforms to fit a woman's body perfectly' party as the US army and that many women currently serving in their country's armed forces are doing so while wearing a uniform created for men.

    A PA doing historically accurate uniforms would 'only' (the quotes are here because I have no idea how much work it requires blush) need to support various feminine body shapes to answer the wish of @watchdog79, while using the same looking uniforms, based on real ones, for both genders.

  •  I too would like to see realistic period correct content, particularly the golden era of the gumshoe. Cars, clothes, sets, hairs, etc. Phillip Marlowe and Sam Spade assets would be on my short list if I can ever afford to buy content again. Related to that but more niche is non military gun leathers, holsters, knife sheaths and sword scabbards, things of that nature. There are a fair amount of weapons in the store, but few options for carrying them. Cowboy gun rigs up to Cyberpunk sci-fi assets would be greatly appreciated.
