Getting back to the original post.....are we all here? The older clothing for Vicky Three and Four is still great and surpasses the wardrobe offered for all of the genesis girls together. dforce, as buggy, half-implemented as it is, allows the terrific older fashions to be used on all the newer girls, and the new ladies sure do appreciate it. My girls are not into the new wave of sci-fi and fantasy weirdness. There are places where fans of all this old stuff hang out but linking to them, possibly even mentioning them will get me banned...again. It's not up to Rendo to keep these items here. When the content creator moves on or drops out, he/she takes their items with them making them NLA (No Longer Available). We need a determination similar to what the gamers pushed through. When a game is no longer supported by the publisher, AND a certain amount of time has lapsed, the game is deemed to be in the public domain and fans are welcome to it.

seriously? i agree there are some Genesis/Genesis2/3/8 outfits that are somewhat 'lackluster', but to lump the entirety of the Gen/Gen2/3/8 wardrobe is just a bit silly. there are outfits in the stores now that simply could NOT have been created with really ACCURATE textures back in the heyday of Victoria 4/Michael 4. yes, dForce is still lacking in some features, but please remember, the other main rendering apps dynamic system has had virtually NO updates or bug fixing/development since it was first introduced way back, long before i started with 3D ( late 2007). Daz3D has its quirks, as do most other companies, but their flagship program is continuously being updated and improved, bringing in more features and new tools very regularly.

i use both DazStudio and Poser, although the later does not get as much use as it did, purely because i cannot use my figures of choice natively in Poser, and because i love the renders i can get from the Iray PBR engine.

Well then, maybe Renderosity could bring the old old products back for limited time sales, like when they've done sales of clearance products that have been deleted from the marketplace. The textures of those old characters are FAR superior to the textures being made now. Or maybe there's some other way to give buyers access to the products? Maybe someone could suggest it to whoever at Renderosity makes those kinds of decisions. There were some really incredible products! Thanks

seriously?? modern character skin textures are so much better quality , with the correct shader settings ( Poser, 3DL and Iray ) and lighting they are LIGHTYEARS ahead of the ones from the generation 3 era.( i do agree that some of those old textures were excellently made, for that era ) i have some old V3 ones that look fabulous when EZSkin and good lighting applied, but they do not come anywhere near what is now possible with the newer Iray, 3DL and Poser shaders/

tbh, making stuff for Poser is not really financially viable, unless the vendor is only creating products for fun or pin money. for those who need to see a reasonable return on their time and effort, they cannot afford to treat the Poser market as a primary one.

'Geo-grafting is simply parenting another object/prop to a character. We've been able to do that since at least Poser 5, that I am personally aware of. It does have a fancier name though.'

Actually it is far more, a geograft becomes part of the mesh, not a parented prop in any way.

Really?? just a little suggestion. word things a lil better statements like that will tend to get peoples backs up straightaway wink

hi, here is another one, guys. do not click on the link in their profile!

as a character maker, i can honestly say that creating products for V4 is just not worth my time anymore. sadly the sales figures no longer make V4 a viable figure to support. don't get me wrong, i love V4 and have spent an awful amount of money on V4 products. as my income from sales is what feeds me and helps pay bills, i have to create products that will give me a good return on my time invested, which means i have to create for G3F/G3M fulltime( i do manage to make a few lil props here and there when i have spare time)

sadly, the SM figures would have even less sales than V4, so they are figures that most PA's do not even consider worth touching.

tbh, in general , only PA's that make products as a hobby can think of continuing to support non-DAZ3D figures. the PA's that actually earn their living from product creation can only support figures that continue to be well supported by customers. in conversations with other PA's ( some used to create products solely for V4) the market for Poser products and V4 has shrunk to the state that they just are not worth spending the time creating products for anymore. i think it is a shame, as i love using both programs, and still use V4 a lot in my personal artwork. i prefer Firefly to 3Delight myself, but i really love Iray( just need to save up for a better graphics card to get most benefit from it! lol! )

holy crap! most vendors work very hard and for long hours to create a product. but i only ever see whinging because we do not practically GIVE away our creations. maybe some of you should walk in a vendors shoes before you complain at prices..........

congratz Bissy!! well deserved!! snugs

i think it would be great to have a forum and gallery for Octane users!

hi, found these at DAZ3D http://www.daz3d.com/so-wet-bundle-for-genesis-2 http://www.daz3d.com/wet-and-tanned-skins-for-genesis-2 http://www.daz3d.com/drips-and-drops-for-genesis-2-female-s thats the bundle and the 2 products themselves.

hope this helps :)

about the cameras in DS................ the cameras load with a 65mm focal length as default. changing that to 125 or 150mm will get rid of the fisheye effect that you are getting.

the site is a nightmare, sorry rendo, but you need to sack your web designers, cos they certainly don't know how to code and design websites.
losing search by vendor is really bad. the site loads extremely slow, compared to previously( it was slow enough then!) the layout is very cluttered and jumbled.
if the PTB had any sense, you would at least revert back to previous site design.
then, ASK the customer base what they would like. then you should hire a GOOD web design firm and get them to design a website that the CUSTOMERS would like.
STOP trying to make the site cellphone and 'tablet' ultra friendly.
the majority of your user base are accessing the site on a PC, NOT a tablet or smart phone.

okies, rant over, and no doubt it will be ignored like every comment that doesn't gush with approval of the new site ROFL!!!!

 okies, what username and password are we supposed to use?  neither my renderosity or content paradise ones work!   rofl!
