As for Virginia, always thought she was the hottest chick in Mad Max. I didn't know who she was of course at the time in the 80's lol, So when I looked her up years later after i had got into Farscape, yeah, that just made her even HOTTER lol It's just to bad she had to leave the show due to her medical issues brought on by the body paint they used on her for her alien skin, WTF were they thinking...Anyway, hindsight and all that.
Another one i love from that show is Gigi Edgley (now she is a VERY NAUGHTY), letting the whole world see insider like that, just WOW lmao though i oddly find her MORE attractive as her alien character lmao. Learned to Appreciate the A-cup thanks to her ;)
Also I did drop an edit above so if some else comes across that reverse deformation stuff and wants to employ, it they should have an easy time...
Speaking of Time... It's COFFEE TIME!!
example, 2nd hand book, the 3ds Max 7 Bible - from UK, book $12, postage about $11.
same book from USA, book $12, postage about $280...
all of the Farscapes for sale on ebay are pre-used, so i guess that means no re-issues happened between now and then.
saw some screen caps, it does look interesting. the last time i took a chance on an old cult classic series was Firefly, and i really liked that. bought the follow-up movie too.
yesterday i bought a G8F - G9 nurse outfit*** (dForce SU Nurse Uniform Outfit) that i was hoping to kludge into a maid's uniform. it has no armpits. zero. in my defense it's not really obvious in the promo shots until after the fact.
unacceptable for a maid, utterly unhygienic for a nurse, it looks like i'll have to make up a new set of sleeves for it.
Lucie (Training Lucie, iSource Eloria) is very upset about it.

--------> *** and some G8F hair, and a welding cart. ...a welding cart? i'm a sucker for 70% off...
then a few hours later, Daz rudely started a sale on G3 hair sets, so i had to grab some of those too...
Well as we know, the French Maid always gets much love... But what about The French Nurse!!!

To Farscape, if you liked FireFly (One of my favorite Sci-Fi shows (top 5 easy), never should have been cancelled, I went so far as to buy all the comics in hardback that were made to continue the story...) I think you will enjoy Farscape for sure. They made a 2 episode mini series after it was cancelled that wraps up the story very well. (similar to Serenity for Firefly in that fashion) It's called Farscape the Peacekeeper Wars. It's usually included in some of the complete sets, but was also pulled from some over licensing too. IE some have it some don't so look closely.
Those shipping costs are ridiculous! I did just check Amazon US, and they have the new 25th Anniversary Dvd set (it does say it has the PeaceKeeper Wars too) $112.77US and Blu-ray $136.54US... find it odd that it's not on Amazon AU...
i have one possible contender, the buyer listed the location but not a postcode, so it's either 1km away from me, or 2,400km away... i'll grab it as soon as i stop blowing my spare cash at the daz store.
did more work on the opposable thumb.
it kinda sorta works, kinda sorta doesn't. the thumb1 bone is the issue, looking at my own thumb the thumb1 bone anchors very close to the wrist, on G8F it's a fair way further forward - so when doing the 'ok' gesture with thumb to index finger, the 'o' is too large and looks unnatural, but moving thumb1 to a better position distorts the mesh too much to be useful.
it's fine for simple things like e.g. picking up a thick book etc. though, and no doubt i'll get some use out of it***
i did do a render of it but decided not to post it - it is of Cindy holding a rat by the tail in one hand, and a fry pan in the other. for some reason the rat was the only object i could think of that could be held by pinching that didn't need a dforce sim or other complications
anyway, rat + fry pan + Cindy + internet = sure to offend somebody out there who would take it seriously,
*** still need to fix one of the bone's rotations. it's one of those situations where +270 degrees and -90 degrees are different journeys to the same destination
-------> bugger it. i'll just post the left hand part of it.

currently playing - Stranded in Space. (renpy AVN)
complete with sad eyebrows, massive hips, and that weird mouth that shows the bottom teeth more than the top.
time to concentrate on a different unicorn now.
https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3161653745
quite enjoying 'Stranded in Space' - good humour and cheesy jokes.
There WAS something weird with getting season 3's release back in the day (2005/06 ish) I could never get a hold of all the episodes for it either when it was being released/distributed by "AVN" (they would release 4 episodes per pack, or a few "Starburst" editions that had 8 each...) I was also missing some of season 2... Luckily they released the complete series as a 10 year anniversary in 2009 so was able to get that. (I paid WAY to much trying to piecemeal that series together, still pisses me off to this day since i never completed it that way lol, such a waste) I would imagine Amazon.AU will eventually have that 25th Anniversary Edition if you wait for it..
I was finally able to try that Widows+D trick for MAX 8 when i caused an artifact recently, sadly it didn't remove it.
Also I figured out who Lindsey from CK is.... (Along time ago too while playing CK 1 but forgot i made a note of it but never made her, and didn't realize it until figuring her out again, go to make a new note, and there it is already written...) Any way She, Like Nora, is LANNA (by Maelwenn DAZ) Lindsey uses the light green eyes and only about 20% of Lanna's Head, (i then used 50 % of Aria Head, who as we know is also Chloe and Penelope) They also don't use Lanna's fiber mesh brows... Really going to have to organize my VN character ID notes better lol
Also Lauren is Dior (Mousso DAZ), and Riley is Natia (Eichhorn Art DAZ) also Jenny is Rowan (Sabby Rendo) I flagged Rowan while looking for Katie, because i knew she was familiar, just hadn't placed from where, any i don't own Rowan yet but i matched enough of her markings to know 100% it's her.
****
Looks like you dropped Zoe in while i was typing, she's looking really good too! Nice work.
*****
Also meant to ask how Stranded in Space is, had looked it but not decided on it yet, so looks like you already answered that question.
moment later... remember 'hide items i own' checkbox... oh. purchased. that explains a lot.
i'm not sure how far i got into CK, or why i stopped playing it.
the only character i can remember is Blanca the redhead
---------> quick bit of research.
Blanca is from College Bound, not CK.
which means i haven't yet started CK, but i do have ep1 and ep2 in my library.
loading her up in DS, Lanna does look very familiar though, quite cute too.
wow, she has massive eyes.
i'll keep a weather eye on the sales for Dior, Rowan and Natia, i don't currently have those
ok what you said about Farscape might explain some of the weird stuff i've been seeing on ebay, like season 4.2 and 4.4 or something like that - if they have been splitting the seasons into sub-seasons then that would explain those odd numbers.
And yeah those Numbered versions of Farscape Seasons are exactly what i was talking about, avoid those, I'd only go for a complete boxed set.
Something does seem to be up with the DAZ store search function lately, they must be working on it again, and screwing it up in the process.
found a few new things this morning. most of this you already know, but i'll paste it here anyway -
From Drifty's latest Dev Diary, the models for his characters:
Cece - Emma (Daz)
Lexi - Farin (Renderosity)
Linda - Tonia (Renderosity)
Robin - Romina (Daz)
Kira - Lousiana (Daz)
Steph - Rebekah/Victoria (Daz)
Holly - Jordyn (Renderosity)
...so yeah, i was wrong about Lexi's and Robin's models, but all fixed now.
...AND i managed to find the correct breakdown for Val from Bare Witness.
she is Veronique (Mousso) with Tenley (SASE) skin plus a few extra moles added...
and Bare Witness is finally coming to Steam soon it seems. good. about time.
...and to cap it all off, Romina was %50 off, and Rendo had one of their rare $5 sales and i was able to pick up Tenley very cheap (not the same Tenley as sold at Daz, which is an 8.1 by OziChick)
had to pay full price for Jordyn though
unfortunately i couldn't find any more info on CS's ladies, other than what we already know (Tara is Aria and Jaye is a mixed bag...)
still. once i darken my custom 'Lifeless Skin(tm)' shader on Zoe a little, find Robin's proper hair, and fling a few more skin spots and moles onto Val, all my unicorns will be complete and accounted for
----> v2. updated Zoe's 'Bereft of Life(tm) skin textures.
swapped Robin back to old Sue hair for now.

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3162415269
...i did actually have a full scene set up with all the ladies in a diner (FG Fast Food Restaurant) but it refused to render. removed the diner. still refused to render. removed Lexi and it finally worked. i thought that 32gb of ram and a 12gb gfx card would allow for more than 4 figures, but apparently not.
I Do think you should be able to get 4 chars in with 32gb/12gb... I can with 32g/10gb-- (3080) in most cases, but ever since the changes to Iray that came with 4.20 it definitely IS more difficult. The first thing i do when it drops to CPU on a render is restart DAZ and try again, because freeing up what IRAY preview was storing in VRAM is usually enough, if it still goes straight to CPU after that I will dump a bunch of Normal and Bump maps (starting with the Hairs if they have them) if it STILL won't, i will dump the Normal and Bump maps from the Characters as long as they are far enough away from the Camera to not have to much of an impact on there look.
You can also dump the N/B's from clothes too but i do that as last and will usually just reload the scene and use Instancify and Scene Optimizer, and cut most textures sizes by 50% in Scene Optimizer(leaving most of the important structural textures (ie Walls/Floors/Ceilings etc as they are, unless they are 8k for some reason, then i will hit them with 50% reduction too.)
Either way there are quite a few methods you could use for optimization with Scene Optimize being the easiest, quickest, since its automated.
For me the BEST, but most time consuming method is to NOT dump any Textures, but rather go look at their file sizes (which will usually end up being a lot of PNG files and I convert those to JPGs saving them out at Quality 9 in PS... this usually results in a reduction of file size of 75% or better, and retains there original dimensions, IF they are already JPGs i might reduce their DIMS by 50%, or even 75% (ie 4k to 2k/1k).
On LARGE environments (the restaurant) this is usually NOT an Option because of how long it would take... But for Clothes,Hairs,Characters it's doable.
When using Scene Optimizer, it can quickly start to make scene look like TRASH if used to aggressively because of all the dimensions reductions if used on the wrong textures (ie like i said, Walls/FloorsCeilings), So target the ones with the least visual impact,ie ALL THEM PROPS..
I also just ran Instancify on both FG Fast Food and FG Fast Food Chain, and got a 24.04% poly count reduction from Fast Food, and 34.55% poly count reduction from Fast Food Chain. And looking at the vast numbers of surfaces/mats involved in those, they are definitely prime candidates for SCENE OPTIMIZER... Seriously if i tried to start MANUALLY optimizing all those textures (ie PNG to JPG... or JPG dim reduction Method) I might be done by the end of the year... So yeah instead of trying to optimize the whole scene with characters in it first, I think I would just load the restaurant into a scene, optimize it save out that optimized version as a new subset and then drop that back into the scene with the characters and see if that took care of it, BEFORE I started messing with the characters Mats...
Feels like I'm starting to talk myself in circles here lol So time for some more coffee... I'll clean these thoughts up later to clarify.
****
Ok thought of ANOTHER method you could try to get that Restaurant back in...
Use Iray Sectional Plane Nodes (found under Create)
I Would probably create 3 for the restaurant, and name them Left, Right, Back--for behind the camera-- then Rotate and Scale them (2000% scale is good) and line them up with your Cameras FOV, based on Camera 1 for me Left X= 90 rot Y= -28.94 rot and Right X= -90 rot Y= 82.62 rot, Back X= 90 rot for proper culling) Also turn clip lights on for Left and Right for sure, and Maybe on the Back (i left it off for my test) depending on if you want the light to look like it's coming from the front of the store or not...
If you have never used these they can be VERY useful, especially on massive sets like from PW... though also a PITA to setup depending on the scene... ( i would normally also create a top and bottom plane too, but for that restaurant (chain version is the one i tested) didn't seem necessary..
i should mention that the Fast Food had most of its guts ripped out; anything outside the camera was gone - so, front counter, the window behind that and some of the fruity bits seen through the window, everything else was gone
Lexi and Holly still had their original materials i think - so that's at least 3 or 4 extra texture sheets, per figure, that the others did not have (one of the main reasons for my cheap-o skin shaders. very low overhead)
...aaaaand one thing that really bit me - again - while setting up the Fast Food was - why don't we have a drag-selection box? removing all those parts bit by bit took ages
a lot of the stuff that i re-do the UVs for gets put onto 2048x2048 sheets. some of the PA-made items i have seen, have very poorly packed UVs and waste a lot of the sheet. before i started with DS, i was into making gaming content and used to take a lot of time packing everything as tightly as possible. a well-packed 2048 can be nearly as good as a loose 4096, even though it is only a quarter of the size
------------------
ah! one thing i wanted to ask.
a while ago i read about someone on the forums saying that whenever they used (this product) their figure's teeth would become rounded off... ***
....it sounds exactly like my Teeth Rounded morph, which i made to use on one particular AVN char - Lisa from The Cabin. i am just wondering if her creator used (this product) on her, which is why her teeth are like that - and give me some insight to correctly shaping my character - any idea what the product was? (i hope that made sense?)
Lisa has shaded eye textures - i thought that was strictly a P3D thing, but i think i've seen it elsewhere since on another PA's figure
Stranded in Space is going quite well, but it does have one slight flaw that Artemis also had, and others - the chars always have these over-enthusiastic or vacant smiles which could stand to be dialled back a little. funny game though.
------> *** the product in question was not teeth-related, in fact it might not even have been head-related. i just remember it had a weird unwanted side effect on the teeth

****With Mouth Realism's Dialed Out
https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3163653015
And yep I find it VERY FRICKEN ODD That I Just happened to have fixed her ONE YEAR AGO TO THE DAY!!!! anyway, I wouldn't waste your time buying her if you don't have her she IS a pain in the ass. and there is ANOTHER way to get the results that you're looking for via X-Transfer, My Megan G8 (G3 to G8 via X-Transfer) had the Same Problem because of what was active when I transferred her up, Trying to think of what I did to screw up her transfer, I think I left damn near if not ALL her morphs (visible and Hidden) active when i transfered her (big mistake) but pretty sure it mainly had to do with that Mouth Realism too, and it creating an XT-MouthRealism that was Fighting the G8 Main MouthRealism....
I'll Think on it some more, Have some other thoughts too but currently trying to find my Backup for my MD Pins Library, which decided to crash and erase my main files Tab this morning --after trying to move a Tab to the left/// this has to be a 4.22 issue because I did this a TON in the past with no problems///, (It erased the tab and replaced it with "NULL" in the .cfg file which also completely stopped the Pins Library from working in Daz...until i removed that "NULL", so now my PINS library works again but minus my MAIN FRICKEN TAB AND SUB-TABS (I had alot of stuff in there for easier navigation...) I also know I backed up at some point last year after making a bunch of changes so it's in here somewhere.... Comps been searching for it for 20 mins already.. oh the joy of updates breaking scripts...
the case i'm trying to recall was eons ago - probably pre-dating G8.1 - and the thing i recall was a user saying something like "this is for breasts/glutes/abdomen etc. - why did it ruin her teeth?" - so i figure it was some add-on or util or adjustment morph, rather than a figure as such. i didn't pay much attention because the (product) in question didn't interest me back then
Lisa's teeth were the easy part, i wrote a morph for those in a couple of minutes, but have somehow managed to get the rest of the model completely wrong. my char's eyebrows are too long but i updated them with shorter ones and it looked even more wrong, so i put the old ones back...
you can see the shading on her eyes which made me think she might be a P3D model, but isn't.

...bummer to hear about your tab. my UI is relatively stock because every time i customised it, i got some weird errors later. nothing as sour as losing the entire tab though. i think it might be DIM-related, after i buy something and install it, my Content Library tab moves from far-right to second-from-left. and yes my UI is always locked.
---------------------------
i'm not sure whether Steam would ban me for linking to this site, so i won't - 1400 games in my library, i don't want to lose them - but the info i posted the other day all came from Eff Ninety Five Zone - i'm going to assume you are familiar with that. (if not, say so and i'll be clearer)
be prepared for a truckload of reading.
e.g. the BaD thread has about 630+ pages - i didn't read them all, but from what i did see, nobody has managed to get Bella correct yet.
-------------> "my Megan" - do you mean LT Megan? (Susan) - or the Daz toon Megan?
i'm going to do a convert of Megan/Susan soon, and if there's any pitfalls i'd rather know sooner than later...
Now for the Tab I lost, it was part of Mike D's Pins Library, which is(WAS) very handy , as it has it's own UI that you can create as many tabs as want, and add as many Sub Tabs to those as you want, and then either link directly to a character/scene/prop etc to load in directly, or link to a folder, or link to a Product. So in other words, it was fantastic for Organizing Assets. So while i lost ONE tab... it's the contents of the 20 Sub Tabs that is the real loss, Luckily All the other Main tabs survived, since i basically Repaired the broke .cfg file by removing the NULL, since I couldn't find my backup. SO looks like i get to rebuild it. Good news is, it's not like i lost any REAL Asset content, though i feel like that thing was an asset in itself so live and Learn Lol, Got plenty of backups i can find on demand now! -1 tab.... ok i had to re-code in the tab after removing the null, so that tab is there, it's just empty at the moment.
Oh also for the wonky Tab jumps after installing stuff, yep happens to me too. I have a workspace layout saved out to reload to when that happens, (Window/WorkSpace/Select Layout---Use Save Layout As-- to back up your Favorite setup--Again even if you know this some else won't) because damn if it isn't annoying... It would be like if someone came to your desk and reversed the position of everything on it as a prank...
Also I am aware of N95z, though haven't been there in sometime. I did find a list of BaD characters there a few years ago, and it was spot on.
The "Megan" i was talking about is My version of the one from Acting Lessons (she was on the Couch in one of the renders before the DOF conversation). Her Base is FW Mckayla (DAZ), so is the Ex Girlfriend.. and Melissa is Rosalind (Jessaii and DE AKA--Devious Dolls DAZ) I had the red head ID'd but once again.... can't find the not lmfao (see some notes or in notebooks, some are in files, so whatever, i find'em when i find em lol)
***
https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3163939661
*** These are my v1's of each of these characters, in a render from almost year and a half ago.
oh and BaD Bella's skin is 100% (Aurore Tan Version) it's the overall head shape that is the tough part as usual lol. Though I do see one in the store once in awhile (i know i already own her becuase i only see her when i'm not logged in) that SCREAMS Bella... I'll write it down next time SOMEWHERE I CAN FIND IT! becuase, you know.....ALREADY WROTE THAT SOMEWHERE TOO hahaha
Getting back to your game content creation, yeah, you definitely know whats up with jpg png's tga's dds's and all that good stuff and the need to Maximize texture space when you're gonna try and slam a ton of stuff into an engine... so couldn't agree more on some of the BS i find in some of the PA's UV's and texture files, obviously not the Genesis Characters, but the Other content... with that being said AVOID GIKO (GNBD) don't think that clown knows what a UV even is.... ok to harsh, his wings for G9 are good just stay way from the Gelatoo lovers unless you want to use it EXACTLY like it is, without having to rebuild the UV. Damn thing should have been a freebie. Even as part of an 8 for $2.99 grab bag item, it's overpriced for the time you have to spend correcting all of it...
****
Speaking of UV's...
https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3163948758
Got the Walkers (G1) last weekend and had to make some new UV's for their GENS to make them fully functional... based on Micheal 5 torso.
****
Oh that reminds me, i meant to ask if you are running gaming drivers or studio drivers for your card. (because for me the studio drivers definitely had a performance increase for DAZ over the gaming drivers)
**** Alright,still feel bad for knockin GIKO... so gonna plug his G9 Wings...
https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3163957333
they are not ON a G9 though.... that's a G2
i use pretty much what you're describing for all my char's eyes - it's a linked .psd with a UV wireframe, the sclera/iris shading gradients, 3 levels of red sclera for bloodshot/crying, and 100% black pupils. i just drag that en-masse into whatever eye texture i want to change, and turn off the bits i don't need. the one caveat is that all eye textures must be 2048x2048, which is fine by me - 4096 is overkill, as i never do any shots close enough to warrant the extra detail.
also have made up others for face, torso, arms and legs.
my UI fix is very basic. Ctl+U to unlock it, drag the tabs back to where they should be, Ctl+U to lock it again...
i don't know if i just managed to jag it by fluke or if she isn't right and i'm just to dumb to see it, but i applied Aurore's skin to Leolani's mesh and to me she looks like Bella - my issue with my Bella is that she doesn't look very good with my Flat'n'Dull(tm) skin shader, she looks too er, flat and dull.
oh THAT Megan. i completely forgot about Acting Lessons, i should be shot heh.
great render by the way.
by redhead, do you mean the nurse? (Angela, Angelica, Angelina...?) i think i have her in my library, will sing out of i spot her.
i wondered if it was possible to bypass the whole house-fire bit by just getting with the nurse from the beginning and devoting yourself to her - but i might have read somewhere it wasn't a valid path?
argh walkers! not cuddly enough for me, brrr... though i did pick up some similar stuff on sale, like Greylien etc.
at first glance i thought your winged G2 was Tara G3 - mainly because of the horns and dark hair. Tara converted to G8 fine but her counterpart Sachra did not - lots of geometry welding itself to stuff adjacent to, but not part of, the object in question, e.g. lips and teeth becoming melded into a mush
i don't think i've ever used a G2 for a render - the closest i've come is to load a G2F to use as a guide for height when i'm making a new figure. quicker to load than G8, much quicker than G3... not sure why G3F takes so long.
-------------> oops. gaming drivers i assume, whatever the nvidia page links to by default.
