    Yes, she does! I have no use for her at the moment (and no funds to justify impulse buying crying), but she went straight onto the wishlist. 

    OMG ... that was an instant buy for me. Thanks for sharing it, she's amazing!

    The close-ups are stunning. Not a char I want, but pretty impressive. Regards, Richard.

    Eleanor is an insta-buy for me.

  • She does look great. Is it just an HD morph, though, as opposed to a base morph that you can dial in HD details on? Would make her less useful for me if so.

    She's a very cool character!

    I'm buying Eleanor and even if I NEVER render her (I will though!) it would be worth it just to support quality hands!!  I can't tell you how many times I have looked at an otherwise amazing character, but the God-AWFUL hands have made me cringe. 

    Feng - I salute you!

    I don't know which character HM is using in the promos for the Vihar bundle, but her sex appeal is through the roof, especially for G9. Maybe Katya? I don't recall her looking quite *that* good, but perhaps I haven't been paying enough attention.

    Whatever the case, if Daz is considering Lilith 9, Daz should give HM free reign to design her - I can't think of anyone else working with G9 that could possibly do her justice. So many other attempts to give G9 a makeover have resulted in warped-looking bodies, but these promos are stunning. There might not even be a need for a core figure, actually: Pale skin, curves for miles - give her dark hair, and she practically *is* Lilith already. Face might be a bit too stylized for some folks, but the body is where G9 needs the most fixing, anyway.

    Thorne can certainly help Daz keep up with their weekly Core Figure goal. In Daztopia, rodents lack whiskers, but for a few dollars extra, Mr. Douglas....

    Jumped right in my cart ;). I think I have all of Feng's older ladies for G9 so far :P

    Not to mention the fact that the nose is all wrong on the guinea pig, which has a nose much like a bunny. ;)

    They're (bizarrely) absent in most of the promos, but one image for Daz Rodent shows whiskers, and "Daz Rodent Whiskers" is listed under What's Included.

  • This is neither a pig, nor it's from Guinea, and most assuredly not a Guinea Pig either.

    Pss, Daz... Google Image has Guinea Pigs too, for real!

    I heard they were called that because they were a food livestock there or possibly New Guinea

    Chinese Gooseberry are not from NZ or eaten by Kiwis either

    Yep, they look rather like stuffed rats methinks, but I'm buying them nevertheless. Gotta encourage artists who make other things than just pretty white young women. Also, maybe they can be re-worked a bit, I'm hoping ...

    I'm going to get the generic mouse and the hamster, but I can't look past the fumble with the guinea pig. I had guinea pigs. I can't unsee this.

    Anyone who has gotten this, are the whiskers comforning or dforce hair? Can their length be adjusted? I'm interested but the promo missing them made me think they weren't included and that was making me think about skipping them.

    Ok, so for those interested @lou_harper, @jd641, @benniewoodell, and @tsroemi, here are some renders of a couple of characters using only expression fusion to build the expressions. I'm not the best at building expressions, but I was satisfied with these ones. Of course, a more proficient person could probably do way better things than me, I'm sure. I really like that the lower and upper expressions are separate and you could, of course, always mix it with other expression packs. The dials are excellent for subtle expressions, btw. Though here I'm trying to show the range. I had already done the girl render, so I didn't get the settings for that one, but you get the gist. Hope this helps! :)

    Hey @FenixPhoenix  I picked this up today and these really are fantastic, I can see them being the missing puzzle for facial issues I've been having. Just wanted to say thanks again for these renders and the recommendation! Have a good one! 

  • FenixPhoenixFenixPhoenix Posts: 3,089

    My pleasure, @benniewoodell. I've been using them a lot, so I'm glad they were a helpful recommendation for you!

    I bought the basic Rodent bundle but the rodent won't install.

    While not a today release, I bought TMA Reece the day of her release, and I love this character very much. I previously purchased Angie and Angel for Genesis 8, and I must compliment this person on their work.

    apparently you need the rodent base

    which is not in the bundle according to a post I recall but according to it's own page should be

    no readme so cannot check either

  • Breakaway Outfit by Linday. So I guess my G9 girls do get some new clothes after all.  As hand-me-downs from their more glamorous G8 and G8.1 sisters. laugh

    The Mouse Life Bundle does include the rodent, I know because I'm looking at the file that came with the bundle.

    The Hamster and the Guinea pig do require the rodent though and it's not incloded on those bundles.

    Check your messages (in browser, the human icon in the top right corner, then "messages"). All the orange banners are there, even when you close them.

    On that note, I got mine yesterday, and it said "expires at midnight", so depending on when you got yours, it might or might not be valid anymore (I'm assuming mine isn't but the message is still there).

    OK. Posting this because one of the products mentioned here inspired me enough to dig in and learn more .

    Back to Eleanor ,,, she actually inspired me to update my first set of clothing to G9.

    She is just simply amazing. I LOVE HER!

    I know they're not from today at all, but I'd still like to give some appreciation to 3dsugar's friends pose set for G9 (https://www.daz3d.com/sweet-friends-for-genesis-9) - I think it was on the sales page for Kala a few days ago. It's really rare that you get true friendship poses like this for women in my experience. Mostly they're more or less sexualized, like they're ready to make out any minute. Which is fine if that's what you're looking for, but I was getting a bit tired of ALL the female poses having to be sexy one way or the other. So this is a very nice deviation (just like the recent dance poses for G9, same artist I think). And the poses are very neatly configured it seems. Would love to see more of this kind!
