Assets Bottle for your Genie

Farger submitted a new resource:

Bottle for your Genie - Try to contain-her

This asset includes three variants of a genie bottle. Actually there is also a fourth version as well that was an earlier prototype, I have included that one as well.

I apologize about the root node of the lid not being centered, it was built that way originally, there is not much that I can do about it. I struggled with materials for this asset, the best solution was...

The issue with Daz assets is related to their licensing, which is very restrictive about how the assets are shared, and the enforcement of that is important for keeping our community safe on the Hub.

I think that is likely what is happening.
