Deacon for Michael 5

RCTSpanky

I was a little dissapointed, that a male character in this price category comes without any textures for his toasts. Most artists make textures for that important part of a male character.

Especially when the rest of the body textures comes with tattoo options etc.

Next time I'll think about twice to buy a character from this creator. And I think about to give this back and get my money back.

Benjamin for M5 and Aiden for M5 were lacking as well. They probably didn't make one because they don't want to texture a guys junk or they realize that not everyone has the genitals for M5. Unfortunately all you can do is use another characters texture and try to recolor it as best you can or make one from scratch. Usually they let you know in the product description if a genital texture is included.

From what I can see looking at her products in other stores, Vyktohria seems to have stopped providing male genital textures with her male characters. The last three, counting Deacon and two others, don't have them at all, and her other male character in the DAZ store doesn't have them either.

Maybe the only men that she knows is Ken from Barbie. I don't understand why some creators have a problem to offer a COMPLETE design of their products, especially if they made money with it. Imagine you would buy and download a car-modell without wheels.

I have no problems to create my own textures for the gens. I use mainly the textures from the current models from the body. I know, this is a break against the copyright, but I want they fit in colour to the rest of the body. If a creator don't want me to do that, than he should offer a complete texture set.

Without getting into that rehashed argument again, I don't necessarily have an issue either way; I just want to know ahead of time.

I do wonder if DAZ has decided on a particular approach to that issue. For her recent products elsewhere, Vyktohria flat out states "This product does not have genital textures." From what I can tell of other vendors products in this store, the DAZ approach seems to be that they tell you if textures ARE present, but if they're not, the description is silent. It's ... an odd way to make people work, let's say.

Regardless, I picked up Deacon, figuring that he didn't have those textures because they weren't mentioned. In all seriousness, I like that he's not a pretty young thing, so to speak. That said, I did throw in a few of Zev0's age morphs and a few other ... er, decorations via the Michael 5 Tattoo Parlor. (...What? The tattoo parlor was just sitting there! And the sort of person who gets a full body tribal tattoo might get one or two or three more!)

One of the other things of note is that he's a smaller Michael 5, rather than a full sized one -- according to the plane-primitive/y-translation method of measuring, Deacon's 182 cm tall -- or 5-11, a hair above bog-standard American male height. Phillip, the default M5 shape (directly behind Deacon, below), is 196 cm, or 6-5, positively gigantesque. The tattoos had to be resized and/or repositioned a bit to fall in the right places. (And no, I did not include Phillip's currently high hair in the measurements.) His default is also more along the long and lean lines, and not quite as beefy.

Thanks for that comparison - I like the realism of Deacon.
And yes - here at Daz it is either mentioned when textures are included or there is silence about toast.

I like this figure. His skin tone is very warm. Lack of toast isn't a problem for me. I tend to buy most M5 figures if they aren't too pale.

So, I just bought Deacon, and I like him, junk textures or no junk textures. ;) But, I'm having a problem. I'm just learning to use Genesis in Poser 9, and I can;t find his textures at all! How do I texture Genesis in Poser 9?!

Unfortunately Deacon doesn't have Poser Companion Files.
But it's not all lost ...
Either you know your way around the materials room and plonk down the textures and bump maps yourself, they are here:
\Runtime\Textures\vyktohria\Deacon\

Aiden for M5 has textures for the gens. They're in the same folder as he is and they're called GenitalBodyHair and GenitalSkinShaved. Benjamin though I'll agree doesn't have them, at least not that I've found.

I'd post a render, but, well, you know ;)

Oh for the love.. freaking thread necros. lol
No, it didn't click that March 26th hasn't hit yet this year. >.<</p>

It took me a while, but I figured out how to get to the materials room in Poser 9. It's been ages since I've been able to work in Poser, and Poser 9 is somewhat different than what I was used to in Poser 8. But, with a little bit more time, I might even get to be good at it. At least I figured out where it is and how to use it a bit, for now. Thanks for all your help! :)
