What is the duck pool float ring used in the Floyd 8 promo image? Is it from Floating Fun Props and Poses G3F found over at Renderosity modified or some other product? If I knew the artist that made the rendering I would ask them, but I don’t believe credit for the image is listed on the Floyd product page and I could not find anything in the forums unless I overlooked it. Thanks.

If no one else can help, you can submit a support ticket to ask what prop was used. They have a catagory in the Sales Ticket Tracker dropdown menu for "Promo Inquiry".
please post here if you find it..I've beern looking and have not found that one ... i like it too
I went ahead and submitted a support ticket to try and find out what it is. Apparently a lot of people like the duck float but do not know what it is from. I have been trying to find it since Floyd was released. Maybe some one knows and will post the answer before I hear back from the support ticket, but I will post the response that I receive. Thanks for the suggestion.
I finally heard back from the support ticket. They contacted the artist and found out that the duck float was made only for the promo image and is not a product that is for sale. I don’t know who the artist is, but if enough people expressed an interest in the float and they saw this post then maybe they would release it as a product for sale here at DAZ.
Thank you! I am one of the interested people. I also was interested in the duck since Floyd released and did a long research only to be disappointed cause I cannot find the great duck.... with your answer now I know there was no chance finding it. So count +1 on interested people who love to see it available ;)
I actually thought it was a flamingo
oh no that's yet another one
somebody is making lots of floaties and not sharing
PAs are making throwaway items better than anything I've ever made. That is so depressing. At least you got it solved. Thanks for the effort.

We want the duck float!
We want the duck float!
hate stuff in promos not in the store pfffft
For fun I tried to make my own. It's not as good by any means. Shape isn't as good, and it lacks the fine details (wrinkles around the seams, for example). But I gave i a shot just to see if I could do it. May zip it up and share it when I am happy, something folks can use 'til a proper one is released by someone.
@grinch2901 I love your float! Looks so cute! Would love it if you shared.
I hope you don't mind but I did one too, except I am not as fast as you,not as good either! I can share it too.
Made a couple of renders
xmarose, I like yours better! Your renders look like photos. If you sharre it I'm sure people will love it, me too. After all, two floats are better than one.
My inferior but super affordable pool prop is now shared. Details here: https://www.daz3d.com/forums/discussion/265201/duck-pool-float
release the ducky float ... maybe even as a freebioe here ... or with a couple other floaties as a product.
I like both of them!!!
Plus, having floats from multiple manufacturers is a good thing! Adds variety to the scene.
@grinch2901 Thank you. Just downloaded yours and I love it!
@daveso are you talking to me ?
If anyone wants to get mine I'll release it as a freebie.
OK I uploaded it to ShareCG (first time!!).
Let me know if it works fine.

Who runs the world? Duck floaties run the world. Thanks grinch2901 & xmasrose for these great pool floats!
xmarose, I downloaded it and it works great. One problem: you put the textures in a folder tree "runtime/texture" and DAZ looks for it in "runtime/ttextures". Plural. So it gives an error. Easy enough to just surf up and get it from the right folder but you may want to do an update. Thanks for it!
EDIT: Just looking at my render and it seems like my duck is sort of looking at yours nervously. That's a texture problem on my account, eyes angled wrong. Or maybe there's a story here ....
Thank you, I just updated!
Don't tell anyone but mine is terrrified by the new duck and trying to float away as fast as possible !!!!
I really like the big eyes of your duck, that"s part of his (her) cuteness.
Yay, we went from no duck floats to two free duck floats in the same day!
Mucho gracias guys!!!
I had a request to add a tail morph. Did that, decided to add a swan neck morph too. Done. Then I needed some textures for a swan, then I figured with the swan neck but no tail it makes a passable flamingo so did a pink texture too. Gonna update the shared file in a bit, will notify you all here when that's done.
Some improvements. More flamingo like texture and wings morph.
It's live. https://sharecg.com/v/91796/view/21/DAZ-Studio/Morphing-Pool-Float-IMPROVED-Duck-Float
