Polish's Military Weapons 03

Write Idea

I purchased Mossberg's Military Weapons 03 Poses for Genesis 8 and 8.1 and just thought it was another pose collection.  To my surprise, it required a previous product, Polish's Military Weapons 03.  Which, sadly, has disappeared from the store.  It looks like a wonderful set.  Is it sold elsewhere?  Or was it just pulled for other reasons all together?

Mossberg's set is by itself (with some tweeking), but I do hate it when DAZ just leaves products that require others one still on the store.  They feel, incomplete--literally in this case.

I'm kind of okay with it (some people may still have the required item, and it's not entirely fair on one vendor to have their hard work completely pulled because another withdrew theirs), but I do think it's vital that these products still clearly state that requirement.

It looks like a wonderful set.

To offer my genuine review of Polish's weapons, I've generally stopped buying them. While they look decent in the promos, they lack IMO vital posing controls to make them genuinely useful, with things such as hammers, slides and bolts being firmly welded in position.

There's something similar with many of their vehicles too, which usually have inaccessible boots (or "trunks" for the Americans in the audience).

I don't expect to be able to field strip every gun on the store (although it would be nice if there were actually one that *did* have that level of detail) or change the spark plugs on every car, I feel that props are lacking if they don't include all reasonable posing you'd expect in regular use - like actually being able to charge a weapon, or put groceries in the back of a car.

(That said, if the prop is just part of a set, I'll give more leniency on that. A set of drawers that won't open when it's part of an entire room set is a greater expectation of detail than when the entire product is the car).

This is pretty common but I reported it just in case the required product went missing somehow.

I have checked on Android and in neither guise (mobile or desktop) does the weapon set come up as a required product. Regards, Richard.

The pose pack doesn't say the Military Weapons Pack 03 is a required product, but it's clearly designed to be used with that product.  It comes with smart props that are linked to those products, but when you load them, you get an error message saying it's not in your library.  I spent a good 20 minutes looking through the store to find out where the required product was (sometimes DAZ will forget to mention the required products).  Or even if it was available.  The pose pack is still useable, but it can cause confusion for other users.  I knew it didn't come with props, but the next user might not.

If the Polish's Military Weapons Pack 03 has been removed from the store, than Mossberg's Military Weapons 03 Poses for Genesis 8 and 8.1 should be updated.

I do have Military Weapons 01 Poses for Genesis 8 and 8.1 & Military Weapons 02 Poses for Genesis 3 and 8, but those two products don't have the smart props from Polish's missing sets.  So either Mossberg didn't include that, or they were updated to reflect the removal from the store.

Yes that's the problem: the required product is stated on the product "read-me" page: - http://docs.daz3d.com/doku.php/public/read_me/index/82738/start but not on the store page... Suggest install Daz-Deals then you may jump to docs.daz3d.com from the main product page so as to double check the info. before placing orders.

I'm not sure if the required product could be back for sales even if you send a ticket... or get a refund ?

I do apologise, my statement was meant as info that it was impossible to see that it was needed when using android (was assuming that you'd probably used a conventional desktop), not as disagreement and that I thought it wasn't.

Regards,

Richard

Strange... The Weapons Pack is removed even on Posercontent.

I don't think it was taken that way, Richard.  Thank you for checking on your Android!

I bought the Military Weapons Bundle which had 01, 02 and 03 weapons back in July 2021. My promo pages didn't print any licenses at the time and now all are withdrawn. While I don't do many warfare renders anymore, does anyone have an idea why they were withdrawn and if there is a risk, for those of us who bought them in good faith, to use them?
