  • I, too, like coming to this thread and checking out the renders, story, tips and such.  Always enjoyed doing so. :)

    Cool beans! Then let the renders continue!

  • I'd like to add I also really enjoy seeing images from you and I often go back to look at your older images as well.

  • Serene NightSerene Night Posts: 17,647

    Oh thanks, I appreciate that. I sometimes wonder but now I shall wonder no more.

    Owen goes diving! I had to try to kitbash some gear for him, since most of the diving gear belongs to Victoria- And I don't own the recent stuff.

    I have to say that I am really enjoying your thread here, you plae your characters in all kinds of images ranging from everyday actions to intense Sci-Fi is really great. You have a great artistic eye and I am always looking forward to what you do next. 

    I'm with shadowhawk, I love this thread and am really enjoying catching up on its 42 pages! It keeps getting better - and the latest scuba diving image is just great.

    Just lurking here, but I don't lurk unless it's lurk-worthy. That I keep coming back says enough ;)

    Hah that’s great to know, thanks for letting me know... it’s nice to be appreciated smiley and glad you like the underwater render. I may take the plunge and buy a Genesis 3 or 8 female set if they go on sale. Those old flippers were from Michael 1 millennium man and hard to fit,

  • Phoenix1966Phoenix1966 Posts: 1,672

    There is a pretty good deal on Sean for Michael 8 over at rendo. He's a complete look alike for Sam Winchester, but comes with bodyhair which is pretty useful, including sideburns, beard, and eyebrows chest hair, and elements hair. Why male figures here are so bare, I have no idea... But its 50 percent off right now. Michael 8 is a requirement.

    Lovely render!

    Thanks! I admit to loving Supernatural. Grea show! And great character by you!

    Oh man, this bums me out. I never noticed this before... But

    If you buy the Army uniform texture expansions  for Genesis 3 figures they are different by gender. So it is impossible to make your characters of different genders wear the same uniform so as to be part of the same unit. Ughhh... And Ugh... It would be one thing if the textures were interchangeable but they are not.

    The male expansion has:

    What's Included and Features

    • Army Uniform Textures:
      • Avian Division
      • Honor Division
      • Stealth Division
      • Warrior Division

    Females have:

    Army Uniform Textures:

    • The Challengers
    • The Final Flight
    • The Great Guard
    • The Watchdogs

  • Well that's super disappointing. The female ones are more pastels. Why would they feel a need to gender military uniform textures? That's so dumb.

  • Serene NightSerene Night Posts: 17,647

    The female textures are pastel the legs of the pants also tuck in differently on the woman as the tuck is much higher and the female shirt has more of a fitted quality with baked in wrinkles. The fit looks like a different uniform.... ugh..... why

  • ByrdieByrdie Posts: 1,783

    Because they had to sexy-fy it, that's why. frown

  • Serene NightSerene Night Posts: 17,647

    You are absolutely right. Ugh, one of my peeves.

    This was just released at Rendo. Its a superhero knockoff costume for Genesis 8 male... And yes... Finally other stores are making stuff for Genesis 8 male  which is good since there is a lack of Gen 8 male content sold here for some reason.

    It looks pretty good and has kitbashing capabilities. Dawin's Giuseppe is wearing it. Giueseppe is pumped a bit more than default.

    Ohhhh, this looks really nice!

  • Serene NightSerene Night Posts: 17,647

    Yeah, and its only 6 bucks right now. It has other colors too. Surprised this vendor is not snapped up by DAZ. Its a fine piece of work.

  • Phoenix1966Phoenix1966 Posts: 1,672

    Is the lightning bolt insignia modeled or is it only in the texture?

  • Serene NightSerene Night Posts: 17,647

    Unfortunately, that is the only negative. The lightning bolt and the trim are modeled on and the same mat zone. I wish the lightning bolt was optional and a different zone.  Fortunately it is small and a bit of Photoshop will remove it. You could probably create a separate zone for the lightning bolt as well as there is texture beneath.

    Wow very nice for 6 bucks - I'm really surprised by that! I just checked it out - really nice detailing, and all the wrinkles/creases are really well done

    LOL I love the look on that fish's face! Like, "Don't turn around dude, please don't turn around..." 

  • Serene NightSerene Night Posts: 17,647

    The fish are safe, Owen only hunts aliens which is why he is down there exploring the space wreck wink

    Thanks for confirming that.

    Okay, here I attempted to portray Boyd in his body liberated state, accompanied by a somewhat younger-looking Owen. This was hard to do because, well, brains with cybernetic parts that don't look necrotic are kind of hard to come by.

    As you can see before receiving his new body he is just a brain in a tank. In this case, he is V4's brain in a tank. SHH don't tell. He looks bigger because of the distortion of the glass. I even shrunk it down a bit, since he looked kind of huge in there

    Body liberated brains are highly prized combatants because they operate the robotic and mechanized equipment that the power Earth's defenses. One educated and sklled liberated brain can run a base, or a starship, or the heavy mechanized war machines the military needs to fight against the aliens.

    They don't like to be ogled at or looked at by stangers, as they are what they are... Tanked brains with cybernetic inputs to keep them powered and fed for centuries.

    Boyd is super outgoing so this retiscence to show himself to Owen is uncharacteristic and speaks of his growing affection for Owen.

    Owen agrees not to look  at him directly for the duration of his guard duty in the lab.  Owen providing him some basic human dignity is enough for Boyd to overcome his reticience to be seen....

    What a great story!

    He looks good in that suit!  

  • Serene NightSerene Night Posts: 17,647

    @ Darwin's Mishap I  thought so too. Giueseppe has a great face which really lends itself to the mask and costume! Very chiselled looking.

    @Barbult. Thanks for your kind words. I've never done a Boyd image where he is in his former state. So finding enough items to kitbash together was a happy circumstance.
