Still planning who will be my second entry.
Apologies, I am not very skilled with recognizing what's from which product :-D . But yes, I find that bundle very useful.
Vera
Fabulous! Thanks for letting us old stick in the muds have fun too :wink:
This is Kisiki. I'm not totally happy with her feet. Creature Creator needed Gecko Toes. But, they are going to be hidden anyway in boots. Soo ... she's just going to have to live with thick ankles and dinky toes.
She uses
Victoria 4.2 Morphs++
Stephanie 4 Elite Base
She Freak V4
Victoria 4.2 Creature Creator Morphs
Victoria 4.2 Muscle Morphs
V4 Elite Body Shapes
V4 Elite Ethnic Faces (International Faces)
Aiko 4 Base
Since there are a lot of dialed morphs, I won't list them here, but in the entries thread.
Yeah I wondered why we didn't get Gecko toes to go with the hands.
That kind of reminds me of Dren from the movie Splice.
Nice! The one in blue really hits it on the head. Shirow’s proportions are tricky to nail down, as his girls are all legs, flat rears, unusually.. er... realistic in the chest department and equipped with chins that could open a can of coffee. ;)
Here’s my own take on the femme fatale I consider the ultimate Shirow girl: Commando/E-Swat Officer Deunan Knute from APPLESEED. I’ll be honest and say that a huge part of the reason this succeeds as well as it does is because of the skin: the marvelous Stalker Girl by Smay, which is by far the best “battle-tested” female texture I’ve ever come across. I’m not really satisfied with the hair, which is the A4 Bandanana hair from the old Daz free library, but it’s the closest I’ve found so far.

Die Trying’s 182 V4 Morphs for Genesis
I've done a wide variety of Apes and Monkeys... the result of seeing Planet of the APes and King Kong way too many times as a kid, but I'm amazed at what vendors have made available for Genesis already. RawArt, in particular, makes up a large section of my runtime as he keeps knocking out new twists, and I'm very excited that Joe Quick's now here at DAZ and focusing on Genesis.
A bat, huh..?. The big problem I can see would be doing it realistically, with the wings made from the arms and fingers. The closest I've seen is Nathy and Hal1's Strigoi, but even that's a bit of a cheat as there are too many digits. Something to think about, though...
Two very good characters there! With Nora I think you definitely succeeded in achieving the realistic proportions, and she definitely seems to have her own personality, too.
Aine is a very interesting and unique character...I think you found a good use for those products! I really like the scene you've put her in too, and the lighting. Looking forward to seeing more...
(If you do decide to enter either of these, keep in mind the rule about using a variety of morphs from different sources)
Just wanted to say I checked the entry thread and WOW. You folks are making it hard on the judges! Your entries have so much personality that its unbelievable.
That's an awesome character. I bought the Creature V4 and M4 morphs ages ago, but I've never done anything with them. This inspires me to try something.
Thanks for the feedback. Nora is pretty much the antithesis of the contest rules, isn't she? Hah, sorry about that! I was pleased with what I'd managed to do with the least amount of morphs packages, so...yeah. She's going to be a general freebie anyway, which means I wouldn't have entered her.
Morphia has a lot of options, but her injection situation isn't like the other Gen4 CDI sets. As far as I can tell, you can only inject V4's Morphs++ into the Morphia cr2.
Hmmm...maybe I can recreate Aine using the Faerime morphs instead, which means I could also use some A4, Elite, and S4 dials.
Thank you mmalbert
Does somebody know where I can find this for genesis eyes in daz studio ??
Thank you Jaderail :))
Question - how does the 'counts as commercial render' and 'Daz having the rights to reproduce the image' thing work with the lookalike portion of the contest? And do Daz only have rights to the render, or to the formula as well?
At first glance he looks rather kindly and jovial...but the longer I look at his face, I start getting suspicious that the source of his amusement is a joke at my (the viewer's) expense...kind of an uneasy feeling. [Edit: that's not a bad thing--it makes him more interesting in my opinion.] The lighting and skin in your render look very realistic, adding a lifelike feel to a character who otherwise strikes me as slightly surreal.
I like the middle one a lot, and the top one also. On the third one, the best part for me is the facial expressions...they make me want to know more about who these characters are.
She has a very naturalistic, believable appearance for a fantasy character. Kind of reminds me of the characters in The Dark Crystal. I agree that the feet are unfortunate, though...get that girl some nice boots! :)
@Greycat and Cybersox13:
I think you've both done a good job capturing the Shirow look. I was really into anime and manga for a number of years...I still enjoy it, but don't watch/read much of it these days. To call myself a Masamune Shirow fan might be overstating things a bit, but I like Ghost in the Shell and am at least vaguely familiar with some of his other work; I know his style well enough to recognize the inspiration of your characters. Nice work!
As promised, here's a list of some of the most helpful morph sets priced at more than $12...again, I'm just listing the ones that are intended for general use, rather than building on a specific character. Not because the more specialized ones aren't worth getting...just thought it was a logical way to limit the list.
At DAZ 3D:
Genesis Evolution: Morph Bundle
Genesis Evolution: Muscularity
Ethnicity for Genesis Bundle
Genesis Creature Creator Bundle
Genesis Body Morph Resource Kit 1
Genesis Body Morph Resource Kit 2
Feminine Touch for Genesis
Aging Morphs for Genesis
I've used all of the above except for Muscularity and Body Morph Kit 1 (they're still on my wishlist), and I've heard enough good things about both to feel very comfortable recommending them.
At Renderosity:
HFS Shapes for Genesis
Not an entry (too many rules to follow)
The Walker (inspired by "The Void" game)
click for better resolution.
So, this is feedback and such, and I'm brand new and scared, so...be kind! I'm going to move the light to a less awful spot, and hopefully figure out how to make the M5 specular look a little less "dipped in grease". I'll post all the dials should I unfreakmyselfout and decide to enter in actuality.
Also, any ideas where I might find nasolabial crease morphs? I know Zev0(?) aging morphs have laugh lines, but that's not quite what I'm looking for.
Thanks.
As an experiment, I used the Poser Morph Tool to slim down her ankles.
"Transferring" morphs from another is pretty cool using the Morph Tool. I duplicated Kisiki and zero'd the shins. Then for the Morph Tool, I set the copy of Kisiki with the zero'd shins as the source, and tightened the mesh around the ankles of the first copy of Kisiki. Worked like a dream!
Since I put her feet in boots (and as it turned out, the grasses I added completely hid those boots anyway), this version of Kisiki isn't an entry. (I still wish Creature Creator included Gecko Toes, though, I suppose the Morph Tool could be used to make the ends of her toes bigger. I may have to try that another day.)
She has a very naturalistic, believable appearance for a fantasy character. Kind of reminds me of the characters in The Dark Crystal. I agree that the feet are unfortunate, though...get that girl some nice boots! :)
Excellent likeness, I recognized him right away...You should definitely enter. I don't know of any nasolabial morphs, sorry.
Aside from the laugh lines morphs in Zev0's Aging set, the closest thing I know of is the CheekToMouthSlope morph contained in the Genesis Body Morph Resource Kit 2. Attached are two quick renders: one with each of the four laugh lines morphs dialed to 50% (illustrative only...obviously this isn't the right combination to use on M5 with no other aging morphs applied), and the other with CheekToMouthSlope dialed to 1.00.
Another thing to consider, instead of or in addition to morphs, is the effect of a displacement map.
In terms of the render, I like the expression and I think you're off to a good start. The face is a little shiny, but not more than I'd expect if he'd been sweating or just has greasy skin. I'm afraid I don't recognize the character yet, but since Szundown does, it's quite possible that I'm just being dense (or it's someone I'm not very familiar with).
Szundown, I would be very surprised indeed if you really do recognize the character I based this model off of, though there is always a chance--it's an obscure NPC in an old Star Wars computer game. However, that said, it also happens to look enough like Christopher Lambert (of Highlander fame) that I think I'll actually try to get a closer likeness to that actor. If you do recognize him as an obscure decade old Star Wars NPC, awesome.
Scott, thanks for the tips; I'll see if I can figure out anything about displacement maps at some point. The CheekToMouthSlope looks like the closest thing to what I'm looking for, might have to pick that set up some time.
Christopher Lambert is who I thought it looked like.
