Wow, I would never have guessed Kalea on that last one. I think I remember her with a more rounded nose than she has.
lol Right? See what I mean about angles and expressions and all that. I think they make a pretty big difference in how a character looks. :)
Yes, angles make a big difference, to me though this shows that the Bethany and Kalea head morphs aren't distinct to me. Similar goes for Lilith and Arabella actually, the only way that I know how to tell them apart is that I specifically remind myself Arabella is a "sharper" Lilith. If they weren't both in that lineup it might have been a 50-50 shot I mistook one for the other.
Totally agree...wish she had been first out.
Oh geez. Now "I'm Penny the 8th I am, Penny the 8th I am I am" is stuck in my head. lol
It would be really funny if Daz comes up with a Henry for this gen. :) EVERYONE on the forum would have that song stuck in their head for a week. lol
Well, we can be fairly sure that Daz will come out with More figures for those of us who are Rich enough.
I was resisting Penny but I broke down and grabbed the pro bundle with 3 of the add-ons which brought the pro down to about $40. What really tipped it for me was getting 2 G3 pro bundles free and I grabbed Lilith 7 & Kalea 7. Daz deals add-on registered the whole order at 85% off. G3 is still highly useful to me.
Here's my Penny
Now there's a bad girl...surely to be arrested in that day and age. :)
She strikes me as an older character, than many - 30s ish, and probably touching or around 40 even
I buy them because I like to; it's a hobby, so something new is released, and I'm thinking does it offer something I can use. I find that when one starts playing around with the character's textures and settings on both morphs, textures and shaders there is variety previously hidden. plus in the basic form, the head shader also adds options to influence custom morphs in subtle to more blatant ways.
Always a tough question, and it is down to us as individuals to decide that.
I wasn't expecting to buy Penny, but I like the fact she is a little older, and potentionally quite a bit from Divamakup's post.
Or at least arrest what's left of her; stopping power was less back then. :(
Not super original, but just playing around with her to see what I could manage.

A stunning image...and definitely puts her in the "yes" box. :)
I think "because I like to (buy them)," is a perfectly valid reason. My point was really more of deciding where my limited dollars are spent, on more very similar characters, or on something that adds a bit more in the way of morphs and textures. Of course, if money is not a problem - sure, buy them all...why not? Personally, I've got over a thousand items in my wishlist and it just keeps getting bigger. So, I have to decide which items are a priority. I like Penny just fine - actually better than Vicky. But, there is a fairly long list of other possible purchases that have priority. I'm still wonndering when Mei Lin will be out...or whatever the G8 equivalent is. I'd be even happier if Mei Lin looked a bit like Michelle Yeoh or Zhang Ziyi. Of course the morphs aren't as critical as the skin. I can always create my own Asian characters. But, a really great Asian base skin texture would be great.
Gogger that's a wonderful render you have there! Love the expression! ♥
And Penny reminds me of someone in this one and of course I can't remember who :D
Wow! You made her look gorgeous! This should have been a promo pic! If I liked the rest of the bundle and if two free G3 bundles had been available to me (I own them all) I would have bought her based on this and one of Novica's renders. It's interesting that user images are so much better than the official ones...
I like Penny 8 and admit that she is advertised as a "starlet" but I didn't realise there isn't a "No Make up" option - or am I missing something? Surely that should be a basic option as not all our figures go around in full make up all the time.
Amazing render, Gogger, well done.
she still looks like a younger Alexandra 8 to me.
Nice render. I need to learn how to render like that.
Even still? In my head I can kinda see your point, but on the screen, not so much. <shrugs>
Thanks! I have a lot of fun just doodling around. One of the biggest things I have learned is "If the light ain't right, the render ain't right!" Lighting is everything. And mind you, by "right" it can be good lighting, or bad lighting, but the light has to fit the scene for it to work.
I about fell out of my chair at someone a ways back saying on the forum 'light is unimportant', that all that matters is the model.
I, uh. Wow.
She does look like a younger Alexandra.
hmmmmm
No, noses and ear lobes are two parts of everybody's body that continue to grow a person's entire life so Alexandra as an older Penny is on target for the nose. It's the cheekbones that don't quite get it for me though but they look close enough too.
Honestly, I'd say that the light is way more important than the model. Even on the old original Poser characters rendered in OpenGL, I could with the right lighting, make a render that could pass as a photo at first glance. That doesn't mean that I don't appreciate a great looking character. I'm just saying on a level of what can make or break the render, the lighting is way on top.
Penny, feeling good. New girls in town doesn't have her worried one bit.
Finals are over for me, I had a bit of time to cover, so now finally playing with some items fairly new to me. For some reason the scarf set wasn't showing up in my downloads for a while and Daz would crash when I'd be rendering pictures, so my first few runs at rendering Penny weren't successful. Hoping to get some just for fun pictures completed using Penny, Alexandra, Edward, and Ivan.
