At 2:10 am...ish eastern time I came here just to see what was new. Not expecting this until the weekend I was pleasantly shocked that it was there AND that it was the Mind Blower. Mind...blown. lol. Instantly it went into the cart. So far this is looking great! The skin renders very well, they've got a little bit of fairness to them so they aren't too tanned or ghostly white and just look awesome. Great job and thank you! One question I have though is that the adults don't seem to have the eyebrow option so you have to use the eyebrow option from one of the younglings. Was this meant to be like this or just an overlook? Since I got the bundle, it's really no issue for me but if someone were to get just the adult versions they wouldn't have that option. Or maybe it's just me that they didn't show up for lol. Quite possible also haha.
The adult product is only an add on. It requires the child version, according to the product page.
Ah that's right I forgot it was an addon. My fault. I guess that's what happens when you come to the site and a product just jumps in your cart without warning lol.
The Adult and Young Skin share certain options such as Eyebrows, Eye colour, Face and other certain body textures etc. That is why those options are outside the adult and youth folders because they are universal.
Yeah I totally forgot that the Adult product was just an addon and not a standalone. Awesome product as always though Zev!
Grabbed this as soon as I saw it - and thanks for the Mindblower status which made it even easier to press the "buy" button - looking forward to playing this weekend
It means it supports the Genesis 3 anatomy. EG texture support, if it gets applied to the figure. The adult torso has Genital details, but when you add the anatomy some sets do not have texture support. This does.
No. This is not SkinBuilder. This products main aim is to provide skin for younger figures since most adult skin looks wierd on kids, and a clean base for vendors to work from. But, if you can pretty much add in or own colour by changing some colour values or by changing the skintone to greyscale first in Photoshop so any colour added will be more true.
ah so it is for kids and teens? Okay, then I do not need it.
Its great, just a couple of things; an option to remove eyebrows after adding one without going into each LIE and removing each layer, would be useful.
Is there a way of getting more bump on the brows without changing the setting for the face in general?
I've been away from DAZ for a few years, so forgive my ignorance of the new and improved, but i have a question about eyebrows for this product. I can't seem to find them in any folder. I think I understand they are applied by LIE, but I'm having trouble remembering/figuring out how to do that as well. Thanks for this great product Zev0!
Renomista, thanks for making that great video walkthrough of this product. It is in my cart but waiting for me to search the rest of the sale before checking out.
@Zev0 Renomista's video brought up a question. Are the materials miss categorized? In the video around 3:00, it is showing the 3Delight materials and the icons say MDL. Then shortly after, the Iray category is selected and the icons say RSL. That seems backward.
They are correct. Iray materials have the green logo, 3dl does not. Maybe smart content is confused lol.
Yes, I think it is the metadata (Smart Content) that adds the RSL or MDL. If it shows up that way after I complete my purchase and install it, I will write a help request to see what they say about that.
As I bought about 80% of the Zev0-products during the years - always satisfied with the high quality -, I had to buy this new bundle too today. Great to see that this bundle is made with company of Raiya, one of my favourite character-vendors ;-).
Okay Zev0, I've also a question which has nothing to do with this topic: are there any plans to bring a 'dental plan' on the market for the generation 3? About 'dental plan' for generation 2, I still use it, but only with 3Delight renders, since they don't seem to work with Iray...
OK, I now have the product purchased and installed with Daz Connect. Yup. the metadata is wrong. It has all the Iray materials typed as RSL and the 3Delight materials typed as MDL. That is backwards. The files will still work OK, as long as you aren't misled by the incorrect content type text on the icons (the little RSL or MDL in the upper right corner). Thank goodness Zev0 put the green Iray symbol on the icons to identify the Iray materials! Not all vendors take the time to do that. I appreciate tose that do. I have submitted a bug report about the bad metadata.
Edited to add: Zev0, in the future, it might be better to put the Iray symbol on the lower left of your icons. On the lower right it gets obscured by the New group tag until the file is selected the first time.
How do I make a white eyebrow? The eyebrow just disappeared when I just changed the color to white in the LIE. Switching to Alpha Chanel blend seemed to work, but is that the "right" way?
Just bought the bundle. But I do not understand the logic behind the condition "Please do not use this product for any other characters other than for Genesis 3 Male or Female figures" mentioned in the read me file. Does it mean that we cannot dial in any other character head/body shape or cannot use morphs added by any other characters?

I think it means don't use it for Genesis2 or Dawn/Dusk or V4 or Aiko3 or ...

Yes for white you need to change the blend mode to alpha. Whem set on multiply, white becomes transparent, similar behavior like photoshop.

You can use it for other characters in a personal capacity, but as a merchant resource you may not convert the skins to support other figures other than Genesis 3 and sell them in that manner.

Cool man. And thanks for the support:) Enjoy!
Got the bundle and it is downloading as I type! I have some Growing Up children I've done just waiting for these!
Please share your renders:)

It is not clear to me what these products do what means apply anatomie for example, are there morphs in these sets or is it just textures?
It means it supports the Genesis 3 anatomy. EG texture support, if it gets applied to the figure. The adult torso has Genital details, but when you add the anatomy some sets do not have texture support. This does.

Without the euphemisms, what exactly does "elements appropriate for adult figures" mean?
Elements - Genital textures and makeup.
Great product :)
Thanks Zev0 and Raiya.
I created a Video Review of the Bundle

Have a look at the PDF in the ReadMe's Folder. It is well described there.
Also in the video linked above it is quickly shown.
Thanks, will do. Been away for so long, I forgot about checking for a PDF!
Thanks you for the review Renomista, and thanks for covering all aspects:) Appreciate it.
