    Well done RC, Spyro Kid got a friend LOL. He definitely has the essence of Luke from gen 3... But at the same time is more realistic. Nice work :cheese: Also, I have a tip that you might like to know in regards to lighting/shadows... Go into the Lighting and cameras section, select the light/s, in shadows set it to raytrace and set the blur to around 6%... What it does is makes the shadow naturally blur and fade as it gets further away from the object/person causing it like it does in the real world. :) Very effective. I do it all the time with distant lights.

    Spyro, I hope this is a new username and not a case of identity theft! ;-)

    Loving all these new characters! :cheese: RCDeschene, you've done a great job on your revised versions... And I agree, the new lighting scheme works well.

    Posting my old A5 and H5 designs from the forumarchive. Is there a reason why I'm reposting these at this particular time? Maayybee...... ;-)

    Formula and more renders to follow, but here's a sneak peek at my latest Aiko (let's call her Aiko 5.2).

    Update: Okay, this is weird... At some point in the process, a bunch of morphs that are supposed to be part of her formula got zeroed out. They are still showing up under "Currently Used," but at a strength of 0.00. So the character shown here is NOT my Aiko 5.2. But she's cute anyway, I guess. The formula for this non-Aiko 5.2 character is:

    Basic formula
    Taiga 0.2
    Aiko 3 0.4
    Basic Child* 0.04
    Head Propigating Scale 0.8
    Naoki Head 50%

    DieTrying morphs:
    BreastDiameter -0.1
    Eye shape 2 0.4
    Eyes round -0.5
    Hooded Eye 1.0
    Chin Short 0.1
    Face oval 0.1
    Lower Head Small 0.1
    Glute crease 0.3
    Glute smaller 0.3

    Evolutions morphs:
    Eye Iris Size 0.12
    Eyelashes Hide Layer* 0.2
    Pupil Dialate 0.12
    Breasts Heavy* 0.08
    Navel 1.0
    Navel Depth 0.2
    Navel Vertical 1.0

    Genesis Head Morph Resource Kit 3 morphs:
    EyesLarge2 0.5
    EyesShape6 0.2
    EyesShape9 1.0
    FaceDown 0.2
    HighCheekbones 0.3
    LowerEyelidsFlat 0.2
    LowerFaceIn 0.1
    LowerLidShape 0.4
    NoseRidgeProportion 0.4
    UpperCheeksOut 0.1
    UpperLipAreaIn 0.2

    *These morphs were automatically applied when the Taiga shape was dialed up.

    I've never cared for the Basic Child skin, but otherwise I really like your Laura. Nice work.

    What do you use for backgrounds? Do you make them yourself, or are they for sale somewhere?

    What a cute character. I want to take her home and put her up on my shelf... or something :D She is certainly one of those happy mistakes.

    ...Okay, here's my real new Aiko. Inspired by Hitomi and by the classic Aiko3 characters by Thorne and Sarsa...tried to steer a middle ground between these two styles.

    Trust me, I tried using some of the V4/A4 skins I have and she looked way too mature for a young teen, almost as if an actress in her early 20's was trying to portray her. As I said before, I think she looks too old in my final render, hence why I felt obligated to screen the actual scene itself. I'm rather tempted to do so with my Luke as well. (Only goes to show how badly we need D5 and actual Teen morphs!)

    EDIT: I went ahead and did so anyway. I revised him a bit as well.

    As for my backgrounds, well, as you can see from my D5 revision and both L&L5; renders, I use the same backdrop just shopped a different color. Either way, I find all of my images on Google. :)

    Fantastic work Scott with Aiko5.2!! I do imagine Aiko with that appearance! Well done!! I'm particularly fond of your blue cloud render :cheese:

    RC, I'm lovin your lighting improvements!! I think some of your problems with the youthful face may be influenced by the hairstyle. I had so many problems with hairstyles I really liked, cos they made my characters appear older. But I love her body shape, true to the childhood figure, well done!

    But I honestly thought that hair like Hampton and Taylor were perfect for teenagers. I just didn't want the usual Duke and Sally Mae hairs.

    Yeah I know what you mean! We need thornes product Daz!!!! My young male went through about five hairstyles in his time, They were very good ones but had the mature side effect unfortunately. I like the hairstyle I used for my girl, I knew many girls at school with the same style but it doesn't help my character :(

    Also, personally I wouldn't use Reby Sky. Yes, she's young, but her 3D character's face looks way too mature. As you saw in my Annabelle Nymph picture, S5 actually teens up quite well, especially when you use her default skin.

    All the more reason, as I can't stress enough, for DAZ to give in and give us a goddamn David 5! T_T

    Actually, like I said much earlier, there are actually products featuring H5 in the store. I already explained that I found this out when I saw a product featuring what I took as a H4 with a less feminine looking Hitomi skin. Turns out the vendor told me the anime male and skin in question is actually a DAZ Original character that has yet to be released. After a glorious freak-out of celebration I calmed myself and inquired her if she knew anything regarding Aiko? She said she didn't and that she couldn't say anymore on the subject. As you can see by the way I'm wording this story, I too now cannot say much detail on the matter. ;)

    If my guess is correct, it's a product by one of the currently-featured PA's?

    GREAT WORK Scott on your Hiro 5, He looks awesome and even though he is a distinct manga/anime style, he's certainly holds the element of ethnicity... Well done!! :cheese:

    Great job kitakordaz! I thing you got the expression just right btw. I love her look and her eyes are brilliantly shaped, well done :) In terms of waiting for longer render times, If you have trouble waiting, it's best to render while you sleep :)

    As I said in the actual topic addressing this:

    The product isn't a DAZ Original, so it’s probably just the PA considering the Genesis Iconic shapes as Gen 5. This is an understandable misconception though, because figures like The Girl are actually just direct carryovers from their Gen 3 versions.

    However, there IS dug up dirt on H5... ;)

    My initial attempt at a Luke/David character. I have used the iconic shape for Hiro 4. I am not sure what I would gain by getting Hiro5, at least what would be worth the $$.
