When attempting quick renders with default settings for the Victoria 6 review I was frustrated with the texture set and material settings. Not having an nVidia card my use of Iray has been limited, though I have some nice renders (small and time expensive) from it running on pure CPU. All the products I purchased loaded by default with Iray materials. With this generation of characters it is clear that Iray is a core component of DAZ Studio’s future. For me, the body and head morph packages are a must (I still feel strongly that these items should be the core of any “pro” bundle). As with V6 I wasn’t particularly interested in either the “Starter” or “Pro” bundles, but unlike last time I actually stuck to my guns and bought just the base character with a few choice products. So, not a bonanza this time around but there was some useful products at release. Less characters and texture sets, less hair and wardrobe options. The first thing I noticed about the Victoria 7 unveiling was that the content pickings were a lot slimmer than with 6. Anyway, all that in the past, the recent release provided a perfect excuse to ignore as much else as possible to have some solid DAZ Studio time. Creative procrastination seems to have taken a toll. Looking back on all the DAZ Studio scenes floating about my hard drives and bits and pieces created for the figures it is clear I had lots of plans that involved Victoria 6 and her Genesis 2 cohort. So here we are with Victoria 7 in our runtimes! Wow, feels as if I’ve barely unpacked Genesis 2, but yes indeed it has already been 2 years since the review of Victoria 6. Posted in 3D Content | Tagged daz studio, dimensiontheory, michael 4, victoria 7 | Leave a reply Genesis 3: Victoria 7 Review i have a few tutorials and reviews brewing, so I’ll be back soon. It might be for an old model, but it is still one of the coolest pieces of sci-fi armour on the DAZ store.Īnyways, that’s it for now. My other product of choice from the Fast Grabs is Major Cache for M4. There are some HRD/IBL sets from DimensionTheory, who does a lot of great work with shaders and lights. Most of that content is fairly old now, but with some material tweaks it all still looks pretty good.Īdditionally there’s some cool stuff in the Fast Grabs too. It has some cool stuff I’ve used in a few renders. The Super Suit Sci-Fi content bundle is also up. I only had the base figure, so I’m picking this one up for the extra content. It contains, a hair prop, a couple of outfits, a couple of additional character morphs (with textures), and a pose pack. For those, that are still using the Genesis 2 character base a lot (like me), the Stephanie 6 starter bundle is up for grabs.

A quick post letting y’all know there is some good content currently up in the freebie section at DAZ 3D.
