    Serene Knight - love the image.  I like the idea of a cybernetic wing!  As for this image, I love the color choices.  I haven't had a chance to play with the wings yet, but they look very nice in your image.

    Darwin Mishaps - I wasn't sure if I was going to like this character, but I do like that last image.  Very nice.

    evilded777 - I like his face.  Did you do the face?  The skin doesn't do it for me, but that's a purely personal taste.  I think the skin looks fine, just not to my taste.  That's the great thing about art, though, and as long as it works for you it works.  From this angle the shoulder looks a little strange, but I've had a lot of poses that look perfectly fine and are anatomically correct look strange depending on the camera angle so it may just possibly be one of those things.  That happens with real people, too.  I have tons of examples of that with my goofy boys!

    smoke14 - I almost missed the image!  Very nicely done!

    I hope to have an image done soon.  My latest is giving me fits because I can't get the eyes just right.  I thought I had some nice light reflections going on when I started it, but when I came back to look, they all just kind of disappeared.  Very frustrating.

    @Darwins Mishap(s) He's looking good! I'd love to see his brows a bit thicker but that's just me being nit-picky! lol He looks great as is too. :)

    @evilded777 Wow! That's my favorite of your renders so far! If he was cropped from the neck up I'd swear it was a photograph! Sweet work!! What skin is that?

    Why from the neck up? What's "off" about the rest of him?

    Well, it's not bad at all, it just has a couple "tells" below the neck that make it not look photo-real. The shoulder looks like it's a bit out of socket. With the shoulder back and twisted like that the peck and upper body should twist a little bit more in that direction as well. It looks a bit unnatural. The skin in the middle of the chest (the highlights) look a bit too glossy and smooth. That's just IMO of course. :)

     

    Ok. Pose and pornstar gloss...I can see that. The pose is awkward, it wasn't really meant for this... I just sort of decided halfway through something that  I was doing and I never reposed him.

    @knittingmommy thats actually just the M6 default face, we;ll HD face.

  • KnittingmommyKnittingmommy Posts: 8,191

    @evilded777 It must be the expression. He just looks a little different in your image.  I've never been very fond of Michael 6.   I'm not sure if I have the HD face.  I might have to check that.

    You definitely make me want to buy M6. I totally thought he was a G3. :)

    M6, V6, and Stephanie 6 come bundled with a lot of other things if you buy Carrara Budle next time they have a sale of Carrara. I'd say that, after the DAZ 3D game development I got on sale is my best DAZ 3D deal ever.

    Did they change it?

    When I bought Carrara, it came with the M5 and V5 Pro Suites. (That was Dec. 2014... and I've tried using it exactly twice! ... One of these days, I keep telling myself, one of these days...)

    Oops, my mistake. I got mixed up which Genesis number matched which V, M, & S number. Still the 2nd best deal I bought in the DAZ Store though.

    Carrara like DAZ Studio has it's only way of using it and figuring it out is a bit frustrating. Also Cararra 8.5 is prone to crash so I'm hoping a Cararra 9 is coming. Even if Cararra was left out the bundled models and such that came with it made it worth the $60 I paid.

    Well, you don't see that every day! :)  Nice job on the skin.  Love the DOF.  Is that a glass shader on those shoes?  I think I can see his toes!  Someone has been having some very unusual dreams lately, friend.  Very nice render, though!

    Depends on which beach you go to laugh  Skin's a fortunate side effect of the shaders that I use and, as for the shoes, they're plastic.  Glass shoes would be dangerous, if chipped wink

    This one's a bit of a gallery experiment.

     

    Oh, if you want to have nightmares, I'll post the front view lol

    A gallery experiment?  Good luck with that!  As for the front view, I can only imagine!  I have enough nightmares with some of my renders, not sure I need to see your's, too, but it might be interesting.  wink

    So how skimpy can one go and still be TOS compliant? I know anything that might be considered pubic hair is not allowed, but what if the texture has none, or it's so slight as to be hidden by a string bikini? Mine has a V4 skin and there is no visible body hair unless I make him drop the knickers, which of course he won't ever do around here.

    The pubic hair thing is hard. If a person has body hair all over where does it become Er pubic down there hair and just belly or thigh hair.

    Hmmm ... the butt is covered and so is the bippy. However there's a bit of "upper leg", for want of a better description, that I'm not quite sure about. Is there anyone who can take a look at it and say yay or nay?
