Songbird Remix's Product Preview Thread

[Flint_Hawk]

This is too realistic! The flies are ruining a good pizza!

 

[Ken Gilliland]

more iray renders... this time some fruit flies and a better render of Robins and worms...

 

[Ken Gilliland]

...and two more; Common Horse-flies and the Giant Robber Fly (aka the Assassin Fly).

Another set is in testing for next month's Audubon Sale... "SBRM Blackbirds & Grackles". It contains 6 "old" world Blackbirds, 4 "new" world blackbirds and the 3 remaining grackles (I hadn't done yet)-- all with m/f colorations. Renderosity has this crazy idea that I can release a new set every day of the sale... that's a lot of sets (5 to be exact), but perhaps possible with 2 already under my belt (NW Flies & SBRM Blackbirds). I have plans for SBRM Magpies and SBRM Orioles of the New World. A 5th one will probably be another Nature's Wonders one-- perhaps an add-on "...of the world" set. I'm listening to requests for that

Here's the white-collared blackbirds from the Blackbirds set...

It's looking like I might make it to that crazy goal of 5 product releases (one each day) for my Audubon Sale since I just completed my 3rd set, SBRM Magpies, and I am starting Orioles today. Here's the Indochinese Green-Magpie

 

[Sunfire]

That's one pretty birdie. Are both sexes so pretty?

 

[Ken Gilliland]

With few exceptions, magpie sexes are alike-- although males are slightly larger

 

[Sunfire]

Cool!

Awesome birds, anyway I have some questions for you Mr. Gilliland, Why the DAZ3D Store Version of Songbird Remix collection got vaulted??

Awesome birds, anyway I have some questions for you Mr. Gilliland, Why the DAZ3D Store Version of Songbird Remix collection got vaulted??

I (and my product line) left DAZ3D back in May 2013 to join Chris Creek's (DAZ3D founder) new venture, Hivewire 3D.

When Hivewire's store closed in January 2021, I (and my product line) moved to Renderosity.

For those who have DAZ (or Hivewire) purchased products of mine, I do have a "Transfer Program" available that allows you to get the latest updates to all my products (And yes, the old DAZ3D versions of Songbird ReMix have been significantly updated).

Here's more some previews of what's coming for my 19th Annual Audubon's Birthday bash...

from "Blackbirds & Grackles", "Magpies" and "Orioles of the New World"

 

[DanaTA]

Will Brown-Headed Cowbird be in the mix. Just curious. We get them a lot in the summer. The Commn Grackles are already back, a little earlier than usual, as are the Red-Winged Blackbirds.

 

[Ken Gilliland]

No cowbirds in the sets but I've been considering offering a species or two as a freebie for my sale since Cowbirds are enemy #1 for the Blackbirds, Magpies and Orioles.

For those who don't know, cowbirds are sort of free-loader parents...

The female cowbird lay eggs in other birds nests and leave those birds to care for their young. Cowbirds count on the host bird to love all the nestlings hatched, no matter how they look. Cowbird eggs usually hatch first and they are more aggressive, taking the majority of the provided food (starving the others) and/or killing off the other nestlings.

any plans Songbird Remix Poses for Daz Genesis 9, LF2, LH2, and Dawn 2 and Dusk 2 and/or Universal Songbird Wings for all???

 

[Ken Gilliland]

The only paired SBRM/human sets I have available is A Bird in the Hand and the Aviary Poses. Although the set doesn't say Dawn2/Dusk2, it will work for both. If you're asking about Universal SBRM wings for human characters, I have no plans for that... humans really aren't my forte.
