Kara 9 'a bunch of polygons with a haircut'

nelsonsmith

Will nevertheless probably get the bundle. But not today as I want to keep my 8 tokens for March Madness which will potentially start tomorrow.

Wish I had never seen that, because, it seemed like a good strategy, but the deal DAZ was offering for Feb 29 on the Kara Pro bundle could not be beat, even with tokens.

Interesting. I wouldn't have realized it was supposed to be Katee Sackhoff without it being mentioned. The more obvious one to me is Michael 9 looking identical to Oscar Isaac. 

Seriously?  Beyond the physical resemblence, the character is named Kara (as in Kara Thrace aka Starbuck,) most of the outfits are jumpsuits and pilots uniforms, one of which is actually branded and advertised as a "Battlestar" set with the advertising tagline "Join Starbuck's Air WIng with this BATTLESTAR GALACTICA add-on."  It's hard to get more blatant than that.

Kara 9 doesn't look enough like Katee Sackhoff to me for me to have recognized her as such. Michael 9 as Oscar Isaac and HID's catalog are what I'd expect of a lookalike. Even after reading Katee Sackhoff's name in the Battlestar Galactica add-on copy, I didn't think she looked like her. For one, she doesn't have her bug eyes, and the included expressions don't reproduce Starbuck's most memorable facial tics. 

The eyes are something that some cameras bring out more than others and they're nowhere near as blatant in real life... (we were both guests at a con in Australia many years back and we shared a number of vehicles.)  Anyway, here's a quick side by side of two of the product images and two of real Katee... same lips, same jaw, same philtrum, same eyebrows, same ears, eyes are slightly softened and I think the DAZ nose is slightly stronger while the face is just a hint broader.     

Thanks, @Cybersox for the side-by-side. You're right; they've nailed the individual features---that nose tip cartilage though---yet to me, lacking in Katee Sackhoffness.

Hello,

Thanks

Which hair is that in the promo? I like the character. The first person came to my mind was the Katee Sackhoff lol, nice one.

It's this one:

Uerica Hair for Genesis 8 and 8.1 Females | Daz 3D

Has something changed? I can't get Kara below $44 with token applied. I may have messed up the Heat purchase, but this showed as less earlier.

Yes, it was part of the Leap Day sale which did not carry over into March.

The title of this thread reminds me of what used to be a common pet name for females in the English speaking world and that is the name Polly. I have not known anyone by that name since the 5th grade. DAZ 3D should make a Polly female. It's a sweet name and used in a lot of traditional folksong as the lady of the singer's affection. Maybe for the next Old West iteration DAZ can do Polly & Sam set of pioneer farmers busting sod in North Dakota.

Not sure if I should make a new thread to ask but speaking of Kara 9, I hope I can semi-hijack this thread to just ask:
Anyone know what the product name is for what Kara 9 is wearing in the Thin-Shape add-on. The first/main promo image

https://www.daz3d.com/kara-9-thin-shape-add-on

I don't know the product, but it reminds me of the ones by the PA https://www.daz3d.com/hm. Try checking their store.

I believe it's this one https://www.daz3d.com/crjf-sci-fi-for-genesis-9-8-and-81-females.

You're right, it may be https://www.daz3d.com/crjf-sci-fi-for-genesis-9-8-and-81-females , it should be the gold texture wiht the dark parts removed via sharders.

Thanks both for the help.

Oh man, been waiting SO long for something like this to be released! It's probably too much to hope for, but if we could get some battlestar interiors, that would be amazing, or even a 1st Cylon war option for the flight suit!
