    So- I did another roll with the randomizer for the challenge list of names I was given a while back!  The new guy's WIP- I have named him Kaiden.

    I am going to take him into zbrush, I think, and fine tune his facial morph.  This one was difficult, but fun to do so far.  The base skin is almost done and I've actually gone into zbrush already and have played with the idea of doing HD Skin details- the HD morph is shown in this render as well.  Still learning.  Going to re-work the fibermesh brows and the fibermesh lashes; not quite happy with those, either.

    Oh- and the randomizer chose Matthew McConaughey, btw. ;)

    I can do nothing but agree with the ones above :)

    I haven't been on the forums in forever but when I saw Danior in the store I had to come check out the making of him. He is awesome and in my cart! That "Good Morning" render you did of him, holy hotness! And I don't know why but your renders on him have a very 80's rock star vibe to me. The main promo image reminds me of prince, and the one here with him on the stool instantly read young Axl Rose to me. 

    Also an FYI I don't know about everyone else but I have not been getting notifications in my email that I have a PM here at the forums, or if I do get them it is days later. Please if my name comes up for testing send me a message through facebook messenger - Deanna Cathcart - as I have notifications turned on and will get it instantly.  I wouldn't want to miss out testing one of the the boys! :)

  • I will definitely reach out via FB, then. :) I'm glad you like him!

    Nice looking guy. I will admit, I was wondering if you'd skip the randomizer and just do your Sam Elliot inspired guy, both because he'd probably work well with Christian 8 and because of the Oscar nomination.

    A bit of fun with Danior. Knowing the inspiration came from Brad Pitt, I tried making him look like Brad, light skin and all. The result, I think, is maybe a distant cousin…? But it was fun trying.

    Danior, by L'Adair


    If anyone is curious: To get the skin and nails that pale, I set Translucency Weight to 0.10. The "blonde" eyebrows were more work, I lightened them in Photoshop and replaced all instances of the original face texture with my modified texture. What I really need to do is create the shape with Super Natural brows and use the no brow texture, but this is a WIP, ('cause I didn't want to wait until the other images I'm working on were completed,) so I went the route of least resistance.

  • Wow, you two really have some great renders!  Thank you both very much!  So glad you liked him.

    Got my hands on Ishimoto not long ago (thanks for that Darwin, he was my choice for the Raining Men price :) ) Only done two pics with him so far, but I do like him :) He and his current sidekick may have inspired me to make a little serie as well, a tad bit different than The Bodyguard serie I had going before lol. Anyhow, here's the two pics with him, hope you and all in here enjoy!

    Who we are...

    ...depends on the situation. We are who we choose to be, or who we need to be

     

    Calling in a debt...

    The man owed them a debt he was long overdue to pay, as such they had come knocking on the door to the house he had always thought no one knew about.

    He gave up all information he could, pleaded with them for mercy, tried to bribe them and even threatened them. It was all for nothing though, they had come to call in the debt he owed and they had long ago lost their mercy for people like him. He owed them neither information or money, what he owed was blood and he paid his debt with his death.

    The information he did give them were useful, as was the money and blackmail material they found in his safe. Carefully placed explosives and a remote detonator took care of any traces of their visit, as well as of the body left behind.

    Nicely done!  Glad you are enjoying him and look forward to more.

    A sneak peak at something I'm working on in between Kaiden and a few other projects:

    Just Iray preview window renders since she was just started yesterday.

  • L'AdairL'Adair Posts: 9,479

    Hmm… There's an update for Danior in my DIM. I'm wondering what changes that brings. I didn't notice anything when I was working with him.

  • Yup- one of the material settings didn't save his toenails correctly, so I sent in an update to fix that. :D

  • L'AdairL'Adair Posts: 9,479

    Thank you. I'm downloading now.

  • So, since Landon was released- I can show Baldric for Landon 8 here.  Note; it is required to have Landon 8 to use him this time. Waiting to see if Daz will pick him up before I do a commercial thread.

     Oooooo .... 

    Are you waiting to see if they want to make him a Daz-O, or just for him to get through PASS? Or is that in the "number one rule of Fight Club" category of questions?

    And is he Random Dude or "Some part of the Big Story and everyone will be singing the 'Tonight' quintet and then there will be blood and whipped cream" dude?

    Wow. Another wonderful character. Too bad he wasn't in the Addons today. He would have been the first one in the cart. (Probably will be later on, too. lol)

    I cannot imagine Daz turning him down. They know he'll sell well.

  • Thank you, everyone!  I do appreciate that.  I hoped he'd be accepted, his facial morph was a dosey to do, but I really liked the end result.

    lol- I just submitted him this past weekend, I was seeing if they'd take him at all.  He's just a random dude- I was inspired by Landon and a request in the Suggestion thread for a "blasian" type male figure and thought, why not?

    Oh goodness, gracious, he is just drop-dead gorgeous! Can't imagine he wouldn't be accepted; certainly hope he will be. 

  • Aw, thank you MK

  • Smokin hot! That's a blazin blasian for sure.
  • Thank you!

    He was picked up by Daz, so- hopefully soon!

    So, on a project I am working on I have that female figure - Sezaen for G8F -  that will need testing, so I tossed her into a randomizer.  She's not quite done yet, so it will be next week (mid-week, maybe) that she'll be provided to the one chosen.

    stormlyght was picked by the randomizer from the list of testers!

    And, a render of her so far after getting the LIE make ups done.  XD  Still have tattoos, additional skin and eye materials and a few other things to work out.

    I'm still working on Kaiden as well; but there's a few things I need to figure out on him before I can wrap him up.

  • beautiful girl !

    wait the final version

    Awesome!  I've her tattoos to finish, but I should get the files to you by the end of the weekend, barring issues that may crop up. XD Still working on icons, too, but I'll not wait for those. ;) Thank you!
