My Consulting Mage's beloved Consort. This was salvaged from a test render in my drafts folder. I was trying to correct a sharpening error, among other things, and somehow got it looking all painter-ly so I decided to keep it.
Character is M4 with Reciecup's Tyson (modified to remove a name from the tattoo) Cyberpunk gear and Urban Casual (?) pants. Background I got from Fotolia when I had a subscription. Done with Poser Pro 2014 and Photoshop CS2.
@Byrdie very handsome! Tyson turned out great. I particularly like the little details like the shine on his hand and the ivory tusk ear piercing
@zombietaggerung Thanks! I had to paint over the hair and tweak it pretty heavily in Photoshop because it had a harsh starchy quality in the render it which I did not like. Glad you like it and you captain America gif made me smile!
Thank you. Cannot remember what lights I used there, just threw in a set and had at it. So if I ever manage to duplicate the effect it'll be pure dumb luck. Funny thing about the earring, it's actually supposed to be silver. I must try an ivory shader on it & see what happens. Yeah, Tyson is my favorite black male skin so far, the only thing is that the tatoos are not separate. Oh sure he's got an un-inked version but if you want only the dragon on him or only the name you can't unless you 'shop it. Which I had to do, since there is no way under the sun that my Doctor Watson would ever have been involved with somebody named "Babs".
Of course, that's not to say some of his buddies didn't get him totally sozzled and did it while he was passed out as a joke. You know those Royal Commando lads, always up for a spot of mischief. ;-)
That is too funny. It could be the drunken Tattoo this poor young man refuses to talk about.... And Babs might be the name of his beloved pet.... Or his gran... Who knows... HA!
I really like Reciecup skins. She makes a really nice variety and several skins and options in a pack! Which I love.. Too bad she seems to have stopped producing new work.
Here is Sayon M4 converted to Gen 3 and iray, and worn on Dash for Michael 7. I liked the challenge of an all white figure. He wears a kitbashed collection of red and black content from my runtime. Because he just looks like a guy who would have to wear red to go with all that body paint.
Kratos? :D
Here's my new render.
Why...
@Mal3Imagery: Aww poor man, what happened to him in such a tranquil setting?
Yeah, the resemblance Sayon has to Kratos is pretty remarkable I admit. I didn't catch it until you mention it since I'm not a gamer these days.My version has been using Rogaine apparently.
Grampa at the Folly 02
Close up/crop from Grampa at the Folly, my entry in Zev0's Aging Morphs contest.
Here is my contribution. G3M, basic background and lighting.
I like Sayon, @serenenight.
Nice job, @l'adair
Nice render, @mardook. (For some reason, his head looks a little small to me.)
@butch, nice picture of the guy on the bed. Did you do post work to make it look like he is laying in the blankets?
Thank you, KevinH.
So much new stuff... I've been off... doing what, I guess I'm not sure. Not finishing things like I should be. But I was inspired.
true story: I kissed a boy.
Nice kissing image! I always think it's weird when two people are kissing and one of them is looking. Might be a girl thing, I don't know. :) Do guys like looking when they kiss? Great scene though!
So much happens, when I vanish. How's a man to keep up?!?!
@evilded777 - kissing boys is a good enough reason for not finishing renders. Great pic, too.
@L'Adair - I hope you won! You did very well with his chest hair.
@Mardook - Really like the lighting.
@KevinH - No postwork on the bed. No idea where the bed came from, but the pillows and sheets are natuarlly dishevelled. Sheet has smoothing on, collision with the character and I added a dformer in the sheet, to flatten it at the chest. Pillows - I just slid to one side, because I couldn't be bothered doing anything more
But, here's the reason I logged in today... a little toilet humour
I saw "Restricted Zone" in the PC freebies and I knew what had to be done.
@Butch That's funny! I love his expression, too! Nice!
That's happened to me. Couple of boyfriends actually. I'd be all into the kiss and then open my eyes just a squint and they would be full on staring at me. Creepy! lol
Just keep your glasses on. They'll get so smudgy, you can't see a thing
Thanks Knittingmommy
That's just too funny! Like KnittingMommy said, love his expression. (I still have to download "Restricted Zone"...!)
The Aging Morphs contest is still going, through the 30th, so I've no idea if I've won anything. The competition is steep. There are some truly amazing works of art submitted. (http://www.daz3d.com/forums/discussion/108076/)
I'm delighted you noticed the chest hair! That's Real Hairy, and I used the geometry tool to select individual hairs, create a new surface group, and applied the gray hair shader. (Did that to the Oh My Brows fibermesh brows, too.) A lot of work, but I'm really pleased with the results.
Speaking of amazing works of art, I'm truly impressed with the images all of you have been uploading here. As the OP, I don't comment often, but I do keep an eye on the thread. I think collectively we are doing a great job of proving to DAZ, and the world, how important it is to support the male models, too.
Ooooo, but then you looked! ;) If you hadn't looked, you wouldn't have known. That's why I keep my eyes closed. I'd rather not know if the person I'm kissing is staring at me. :) Of course, these days the only person I better be kissing like that is my husband.
Oh, no, no, no, if you are kissing correctly, the glasses get broken or dropped! Or they do this weird thing where you get poked in the cheek. Not exactly conducive to romance. You have to take those glasses off! ;)
Almost forgot. I was doing something over in my laboratory thread and ended up practicing my somewhat limited skills in 3Delight. I thought all of you could appreciate my efforts. Not the greatest image, but I'm getting better in 3Delight.
I like him knitting mommy! Cute guy and cute pose
Ah, you're a better man than I, Gunga @Serene Night. I would have just rendered twice, with and without hair, then combined them in photoshop
Thanks, I've had fun thus far
If that's your limited skills, I can't wait to see what happens when you've had some practise
. Glad to see I'm not the only one who buys undies with cheap elastic!!
Yep, me too. With chesthair pokethrough, Ida done a second render of just the shirt and done a photoshop job on them suckers.
I'm not use to all this rain and walking dogs through mud!! It's getting me confused
My earlier reply was meant for @L'Adair, not @Serene Night. But, you do good work, too, Serene
Chesthair pokethrough was easy to get rid of using the geometry tool and the lasso selection mode, create new surface, set opacity of the new surface to "0". That was both quick and easy.
But I also wanted a smattering of gray hair on his chest. It was easy, but not quick. I'd ctrl-click on several spots that weren't close together, then use ctrl+* to select connected polygons, followed by right-click->Geometry Assignment->Assign to Surface->[new surface name] Of course, the first time, I created the new surface. It was a simple matter of applying the Iray Uber Base to the new surface, followed by Mec4d's Unshaven 2 hair shader for gray.
I usually call myself a recovering perfectionist. But since I've been creating in 3D, I think I've relapsed.
There is nothing wrong with kissing with your eyes open. I look, sometimes, and I like to see my partner looking back occasionally.
You people are weird! :)
I think I need to kiss more boys to get a creativity jumpstart.
Hey, I never said I wasn't weird! I freely admit it! ;) I do highly recommend kissing, though! Kissing is fun and, even if it doesn't manage to jumpstart the creativity, it will jumpstart other things.
I'm starting to wake up now and seeing posts I missed earlier! Thanks. He's FWSA Brayden for Leo 7, but he slightly different as I just put him on the G3M base. I hadn't rendered him, yet, and I really like his skin. The pose I did myself. It could use some work, I think. The back bend might still be a bit too much or I need to tone down the muscles, I think.
Thank you! It's always nice to know I'm not completely fumbling around anymore. :) I'm getting better at it. Still lots to learn in both Iray and 3Delight. I'm not sure I'll ever be as comfortable in 3Delight as I am with Iray, but we'll see. Every day, my skills get better. :) As for the underwear, yeah, not quite as sexy as I was going for, but trying to stay within the TOS. ;) Besides, loose elastic can be very useful in certain situations. ;)
