Like the https://www.daz3d.com/oso-eliandra-hair-for-genesis-9 from yesterday, here on G2F (click to enlarge):
Also love the promopics, especially the atmosphere of the below one. Those images show many different subjects, very creative!
I have worn short loose jumpers over untucked blouses like that
I thought it looked quite reasonable, certainly more plausible (for certain groups) than many outfits.
I understand the concept, but the details and construction don't align with any real world clothes I have seen - the collar and cuffs especially. The lower hem of the jumper seems to be floating and the uneven front to back is a choice.
I think it is an oversize men's dress shirt over jeans with a sweater (jumper?) on top. You can see the combo here (https://realtakai.com/products/rt-no-5246-knitted-quarter-button-up-shirt-sweater). In my neck of the woods, Northern California coast, the lood would be remarkably unremarkable.
my jumpers often end up stretched and loose at the ribbed hem and shirts/blouses, uhm loose and blousy many lower in front too
it's admittedly a dishevelled look
Yeah, this is a great version of that look:

So much better than the new offering!
The trouser textures have folds and indentations, but the geometry doesn't match them. I don't really mind the baggy top, but the typical Daz Originals-excuse-for-a-collar bugs me.
Re: the sweater over the collared shirt outfits ... I have many IH Kang items but to be honest, I've passed over that particular one any number of times; I don't like it better than today's new version of the outfit, though what I dislike is different between the two. This new bundle is $12.58 in my cart and if I shrug and think better of buying it, this outfit won't be why.
Might buy it despite its flaws - it certainly has style, and the only other appealing option that I recall is Greybro's Shadow Warrior stuff (which I already bought years ago).
I appreciate a good laugh every now and again. So can I share this one:
Last weekend I bought a new cap (baseball cap) and it cost me a fiver (say $6). So I had to laugh when I saw some electric caps for more than a real one: https://www.daz3d.com/betty-ball-cap-for-genesis-9
Regards,
Richard.
But you're getting many more caps this way. And they fit all (g9) heads! ;)
I really wish I had that outfit with those folds and wrinkles for Daz men. I could probably get close with dForce HnC V-Neck Knit Outfits for Genesis 8.1 Males with different pants and shoes (I'd also have to geometry edit the sleeves so I could use a coat). But the only coat I have close to those is kang1hyun's (became HnC) Genesis Double Breasted. I think his clothes were better before he came to Daz (square shoulders, folds/wrinkles on all sleeves, lots of morphs).
lol, though I abhor the high-water pants, I still got the bundle figuring I could piece together something from the lot, and even lengthen the pants once Fit Control is released.
I used Mesh Grabber to lengthen one of that PA's other high water pants that I got in a character bundle.
I like those hats tbh, I used that deals coupon on the hats and got it down to $1.51 so not bad.
The only thing is that I dunno how to get hair to not poke through so badly. I have Mesh Grabber and that can probably work but applying some type of script for hair hiding would just be a lot faster and easier.
https://www.daz3d.com/modular-fences-and-walls
Just gates could be in, though some of the fence types often have none or completely differently styled ones in reality, and you could always put in a metal gate if you have one. Could be an add-on, perhaps (Together with more withered textures and damaged ones, perhaps?).

Oh! I'll try that. Thanks, @barbult!
bluejaunte's most recent releases look like he is opting for a 3DUniverse niche.
Oh yes. I am not a particularly big fan of these toony girl characters with their stereotypical grin, so I wonder why more of them are needed...? Especially the grin looks strange here.
Is she supposed to be toony? She looks realistic to me, just young. :)
I see nothing toony. But hey, still good to hear from you guys. Even though it hurts sometimes.
Their previous character, Skye, was supposed to look a bit more toony, from what I understand (although she still looks less toony to me than a lot of other characters).
This new one, however, looks pretty realistic to me. Her smile is a bit weird, I gotta say, but then again, having a weird smile is not necessarily unrealistic. I mean, me personally, if I see a picture of myself smiling with my teeth showing, it makes my own skin crawl.
I do have a hard time pinning down Maddie's supposed age range, though. I guess I would place her in the small niche between 15 and 30 :)
@bluejaunte Mea culpa. I meant no offense. I really thought that was the intent.
She just looks like a BlueJaunte character to me.
That's right. I meant the others; they are much 'toonier' :-)
