    I like the character and there are actually three free bundles I don't have, yay! Thanks Daz for including those extra bundles and giving us a wide choice! Having the handicapped bathroom included as an add-on is a bit weird, not sure how many old men sitting on a toilet I need, but they should have at least included a newspaper LOL. The two add-ons with old person items are very similar as are all the expressions. I wish there was a wider variety of elderly person items rather than two packs with almost the exact same things,,.

    he looks awesome but I just cannot justify spending anything more on 3D to myself at the moment 

    even though I now can feasibly render animation in DS with HD characters thanks to finally porting my Octane render plugin over to my beta and ditching iray

    I would need to also buy a PC+ subscription to afford him and there are so many other things then I would also want, its a honey trap

    DAZ finally got me with Edie pro when they had that random 30% banner, had resisted much including Oly who I also want one day until then, 

    I need to stay strong

    DAZ is finally moving outside the box with their characters when I can least afford it.

    I feel your pain.  I am loving the diversity of these new characters (no more skimpy super models women and wannabe super hero men) but I am struggling every month to justify the cost.  I might be able to swing it in a week or two but I am assuming the sale and freebies for this character will be over by then.

    I can't believe I'm the first one to do this render.

     

    I think you've had a Momentary Lapse of Reason, Will.  He looks old enough to be in a collection of Relics, and his expression has a "Wish You Were Here" kind of vibe.  At least you didn't put him in some incongrous setting like on the Dark Side of the Moon or up in the sky where he'd be Obscured by Clouds.

    Though he really ought to have something in the background, maybe have him lean up against The Wall or something.

    Haven't bought anything for months, and then saw Floyd 8 this morning. A great looking character, and the free HD Add-on (although like others have commented I think these should be a standard in any Pro Bundle) and up to 3 free Pro bundles, was just too much of an amazing offer to let pass by.

    Like others have commented, Floyd 8 has to be one of the most photorealistic characters to date.

    Many thanks to all who have posted images in this thread. I find it really helps me to see how a character renders when done by artists other than the PA.

    Also many thanks and appreciation to Daz for putting together such an amazing deal.

    Personally I don’t think there are nearly enough male superheros. laugh In fact I don’t think one official male super hero pro bundle has been released. And there is nothing to say that Floyd could not also be a superhero..

    they got to age sometime...

    Between Ollie 8, Edie 8 and now this, I've been incredibly impressed at Daz bringing out figures with both such attention to detail and genuine character to them!

    Still not finding any meaningful advantage of Genesis 8 over Genesis 3, but Daz finally no longer focusing on Victoria/Michael clones is amazingly refreshing.

    Kinda funny how there are posts here that say Daz only sells Skinny Super Models Ladies. Yet they drop so many that are not in that genre, in 2018.  Blows my mind!  Floyd to the future!   

     

     

    They sell *mostly* skinny white models. While G8 has been slightly better, 11 out of 20 G8 releases are white chicks, and that's not counting Sakura. Exactly one minority has been represented in this time span, while 2 fairy characters released within a couple months of each other...I don't know what metric you use, but I consider that not terribly diverse by any measure. To put it this way, fairies outnumber all other real minorities combined.

     

    Anyway Floyd looks great, is a breath of fresh air, and is one of Daz most realistic releases I've seen from Daz. Lots of good things happening here. The bundles make sense, the addons look solid, and the HD is included (though IMO it really should be included by default on all models that have an HD shape.)

     

    So this one is a buy. I just need to figure out exactly what I want. There's a lot of stuff here. However, I will note that out of all of the bundle items, and all the addons, there is not a single minority addon in sight.

     

    And yeah, I say the odds are 100% Mable is a grandmotherly type and she will follow very soon.

    I haven't been counting, wow 20,I'm wrong, thanks for the info  I kinda get excited when I see something done out of the norm. they seem to be on 2 a month. So I'm sure more ethnic diversity is coming. I do wish they would create Hispanic, East Indian and some other types. Though we just don't know what they are working on. Personally I'm much more content when a PA creates these characters, they usually are pretty good. All these characters even if  white, don't need to stay white, it's art just create your own. Daz sells the base. Though I do see the need for out of the box turnkey products. Though I doubt many people here just use these characters as is. We artists!

    No, I don't think they are.  I think they're from the https://www.daz3d.com/sunglasses-for-genesis-8 as the mesh matches up almost perfectly.  It has the curved lower bridge, not the squared one in SteelFrame Specs Aviators.

    Excellent character, great clothing and extras. Not sure why they chose a troll instead of another character. Price is pretty good, also. Will buy after the first, when the PC coupon comes back. Well done. Thanks for the renders, folks. 

    Don't forget if you get the freebies, you won't get the full amount of the coupon...

    Looks fun I’m going to check that out. Thanks for the recommendation.

    No banner; in cart with add-ons = 92.24.  Floyd will have to wait.

    I used them in this Image and I know what they are cause I bought them and they are in my library;) The Question was asked in regards to my portrait of Floyd that I posted here and not the ones from the Promo Images in the Store.

    He's sweet. He reminds me of my grandpas and great uncles. There's something that is everyday and familiar about him, like you might see him sitting at McDonald's enjoying a senior coffee or see him shopping at the grocery store. He looks like a real person.

    Any clue how many G8 pro bundles one must own to get a banner? Not seeing anything even in my messages, but then again I only have 2 G8M bundles bought. Would have had more but bad timing. :sigh: 

  • So the extra 20% coupon is doing what now?

    I think my cart said $62.09 this morning (pro, 3 add on, 3 free)... Now it says $61.07

    It's working as intended now?

    $1 = 20% is pretty harsh even for Daz math.

    WIth the PC+ discount, the 20% off, and 3 addons the Pro bundle should come to $42.33

    One more for a while.

    Floyd 8 "out of the box" with his "Normal Maps On" setting:

    His skin is really great, IMO! I think this might be the first character that I've not even been tempted to adjust with Altern8. lol

    He reminds me a little to Jean Luc Picard

    Normal price for a New Pro bundle is like $66. $135 at approx 50% for PC+

    $42 is $14 off, which is about 1 of the 20% deals based on $66 (Daz maths).

    I usually expect the Pro bundle in the $35 range when I get double 20% off... which is approximately the $42 minus another approximate 20%.

    I am not really expecting $42 for the pro bundle, which is what I see despite a the banner and the 3 add ons in the cart.

    I'm going to wait and see what the right Daz math is. 

  • Oso3DOso3D Posts: 15,013

    $135 x .5 x .8 x .8 = $43.2

    So it’s actually slightly less than I’d expect.

    I, for one, love the inclusion of the troll. Love Josh Crockett characters. Another insta-buy for me. Great character, great hair, and outfits I'd use (I can't have enough fantasy outfits).

    Well, I'm glad someone likes him LOL

    ...so can he be mixed with G3 characters?

    You have to morph transfer. Here's a quick test render of G3M with 40% Lee 7 and 60% Floyd 8.

    ...very nice. 

    One combination I need to do is for one of the central male characters in my storyline, Lord Marshal Trevor, who is the head of Net47, London's most important independent news network. Needs to look older but still "dignified" and "a bit dashing" (the Floyd/Edward mix in the promos comes close but can't afford another character set just for one person).

    I like him, don't have a scene in mind just yet but I'm sure one will come. Currently rendering him without Floyd for Icedragon (unless someone else manage to get it done before me :) )

    He's kinda cute in purple'ish swimpants ^^
