Victoria 6 Pro Bundle

The Victoria 6 Pro Bundle usually goes for $124.95, or $87.47 after a 30% off Platinum Club discount. I managed to get it for $25 bucks. DAZ gave out the Mega Prize rewards for those that took part in the Platinum Club Anniversary sale and unlocked the Mega Prize. Each day for the month of October, they released new items that could earn you points. If you bought enough items you could earn enough points to score a Mega Prize at the end of the month. The Mega Prize was a discount for Michael 6 when he’s released later this month, a $50 off coupon, and some other discounts. The $50 coupon isn’t applicable to new releases, so I wouldn’t be able to save it for Michael 6. I figured there was no better time than the present to finally bite the bullet and pick up Victoria 6. It’s not that often you get a Pro Bundle for so low.

The Victoria 6 Pro Bundle is packed with goodies: poses, hair, characters, and clothes.

Victoria 6 is based off the Genesis 2 Female base. That’s great, because all my Genesis 2 morphs and clothes will work too.

Here’s Genesis 2 side-by-side with Victoria 6. The default skin texture for Victoria 6 is pretty bright by default. You can really see the difference between the two. Victoria 6 is very lifelike, well defined, and detailed.

You can always adjust how much light reflects off her skin by choosing one of the three different sub-surface shader presets for the skin.

Here’s Vianne, Norma, and Nyssa (from left-to-right). I also applied some makeup that comes with each character. Norma comes with two skin textures; one with some tattoos. The hair shown also came with the bundle.

One of the benefits of buying the Pro Bundle is that it comes with the Genesis 2 genitalia. It’s a separate piece that you can add to your character. You can texture it by applying the character’s texture. Since it’s for the Genesis 2 Female base, you can add it to any Genesis 2 Female character and not just Victoria 6.

There are several outfits that are included. Two fantasy, two everyday, and a bikini. There are four hair styles: Charm. Fashion, Nordic, and Udane. The bundle also comes with 3 pose packs.

This is the Vianne character with the Norma texture wearing the Caped Rogue outfit and Charm hair.

This is Nyssa with the Nordic hair and Club 58 Dress.

Norma again, but with the Fashion hair and the Garden Party dress.

v6 close 12

Amazing what a change in hair and makeup can do. This is the same character with the Charm hair and the String Bikini.

Victoria 6 is a solid purchase. Between Stephanie 5 and Victoria 6, I think the days of me using Victoria 4 are over. Victoria 4 is a great character, but not being from the Genesis gene-pool is problematic. You have to buy V4 specific clothes, hair, and poses. Some stuff will auto-fit, but others will not. There’s also the problems she has with unrealistic bends at the knees, elbows, and hips. I think I’m only going to use V4 if I have to, but from here on out, it’s S5 and V6.

Again, since Victoria 6 is based off Genesis 2, I can use all my G2F assets and morphs. I can even use the Genesis 2 Creature Creator!
