  • Thanks, Serene! I actually have the OOT intimates for both G7M and G8M and that's what I'm currently using with my own textures for swimsuits. I thought there might be something better out there. Might have to get busy modeling my own someday soon. As for the EJ Gregory, I didn't realize he came with those briefs or I might have picked him up sooner. He's going in the cart now. I've put the shaders over at Rendo on the wishlist and I'll try to pick them up when they go on sale.

    @Butch You know I love you, uh, your guys, or something like that! You do fantastic, uh, brief work. I'll keep those thoughts in mind as I continue to experiment on my guys', uh, briefs. Luckily, I don't have to worry about it for my current render because while the front of one is showing, the pose doesn't show much in the brief department.  

    We do really need more swimsuits for the guys. Sigh, it's a little frustrating at times.

    The only other set which hasn’t been mentioned is this one: https://www.daz3d.com/summer-time-outfit-for-genesis-3-and-genesis-8-male-s

    there is a nice swimsuit in the set which hangs low, has morphs and doesn’t scallop across the abs.

    i too wish for more swimsuit and underwear sets. Hmmm. Which reminds me I bought that sock set and I haven’t done anything with it yet. I think 3d socks are extremely cute for some reason.

    oh and Valentine’s Day is up soon. Can’t wait to see what butch does.... for that.   =-)

     

     

  • I don't remember seeing that in the store. I've put it on the wishlist and I'll see about picking it up when it goes on sale again. I love 3D socks! I've been working on some textures of a couple of the pair of socks I have. Making a texture for Valentine's Day sounds like a good idea, too. I'll have to get busy with that. Maybe a socks and boxer type image.  :)

    Yeah got to have your boxers with hearts on them heart plus the store also sells chocolate candy and roses but hopefully we’ll get more men’s poses. I really like the ones by Fabre inc.

    After jumping through hoops trying to get some romantic poses I like from the girls to the guys with some success, I decided it would be nice to make some of my own poses. I'm working on a some M/M romantic poses of my own. I'm tired of waiting for them to show up in the store. It would be nice if there were more romantic poses that were just guys only in nature. I mean I like the buddy type poses that showed up in the store recently, but there are times when you want to do an image to show the love not just the camaraderie between two men.

    edit:  Oops! Forgot to mention I think you goofed on the link. It's for the outfit you linked last time, not to the new poses by Farber, inc. (The Together Brotherhood ones are definitely worth getting.)

    Yeah I like romantic male poses. I also use buddy poses but there are only so many piggy back riding and oddly leaning poses and jumping up and down poses  I need on a day to day basis. Some of the romantic poses for m4 men sold elsewhere can be converted but they need adjusting. I keep hoping someone will make a cute wedding pose set.

    i can make poses.... but I have a shortage of time since I work full time.

    @KnittingMommy could probably use various textures from Greenles' various iRay texture sets if she has any of those.

    Oh, I could totally do that! Wedding poses would be awesome! Let me look and see what kind of reference pictures I can find and I'll see what I can come up with in the next few days. So, if I can get some good wedding poses together are Boyd and Owen going to get hitched? Are they both on G8M now? or still on G3M? I remember you were playing with movng them up but I don't remember if you have them both transitioned up yet.

    Probably. I have quite the collection. I've been doing more and more of my own textures, too, but I still like getting texture sets when I can. I have quite a few of J.Greenless' textures.

    I only use gen 8. Pretty relgious about it now.

    Boyd and Owen..... Have a very long engagement. Mostly because earth is fighting a losing battle and stuff gets in the way. When Boyd proposes to Owen he's a civilian, and when he is drafted, he is made an officer due to his  education.  Which makes things tough since Owen's an NCO.

     But yes, they get married. They promised after the war they'd tie the knot. They do, although there is a delay after Owen's last mission as he suffers injuries and problems. They overcome it though and get married.

  • Let me see what I can do for some good wedding type poses this week. I should be able to get at least a double groom at the alter type poses and maybe cutting the cake to start. Maybe a pose with them feeding each other cake. That one might be a little tricky. Not sure until I actually start working on it. You can test them out with Boyd and Owen and see if they will work for you. If you have any other ideas about wedding poses that you'd like to see, let me know and I'll see if I can do those too. You might have to adjust them slightly since I don't have Boyd and Owen, of course, but I'll get the poses working on G8M so you should only need to make minor adjustments and tweaking.

    Sounds super cool. I hope you sell them. Perhap.... A ring exchange? And of course a kiss.

  • Sounds super cool. I hope you sell them. Perhap.... A ring exchange? And of course a kiss.

    A ring exchange set of poses would be a good idea. Kissing poses are tricky but, yeah, that would good, too. I'll have add those to my list. I don't know about selling them or not. It seems to be really hard to get pose sets like that accepted at Daz. I'll see once I have a well rounded out pose set what I want to do with them. For now, we'll just see if we can get some good poses together to get your two guys hitched at some point in the future. :)

    Oh yes, that would be great... and there are other stores....

    Here I added some sideburns to matthew hair for Boyd so the hair looks less 'out of the box' and more custom.  I had to paint the transition area with photoshop.

    To get a less uniform skin, I used an HDR layer style in Topaz styles at low setting.

    Owen explores the ruins of an alien vessel and has an encounter with a female great white shark. Boyd sensing Owen is in danger goes into protective mode diving into the water above.

    This proved an interesting challenge as the shark rendered really shiny for me in the lights I chose to use. I had to do a canvas pass on it, with less intense lights.

    I was hoping to use the HDRI that came wit the set, but I did not like it.

    Scuba gear is all female content kitbashed together. Used butch's technique on both guys. No breathing equipment for either guy, but Owen has a 3rd lung that makes that unneccessary.

    Ha, a shark fight! It reminds me of that old show Flipper where the dolphin used to regularly attack & scare off sharks.

    LOL. I was thinking of those old pulp covers where the strapping hero fights off a shark like this one. =-)

    Truthfully Owen's got it covered. He's got some underwater raygun and a knife... But Boyd is Boyd and he doesn't take chances.

    There needs to be a rule that the zero location should be a standable area in an environment. I get tired of loading environments and my character in t-pose is sunk in the floor or in a bulkhead.

    Here's my newest one. In this scene Owen and Boyd (who is still in brain form), discover an injured or defective drone pilot.

    The shark one tells a great story and the clothing conversions turned out awesome.  I had to snicker just a bit about the cover- apparently humanity has the same concerns now as it did decades ago lol.

    The last one though wow! That's just gorgeous.

    This last one is breathtaking!

    Love this!

  • Fantastic render, Serene!  Loads to look at without being overwhelming.  You've gotten a heck of an eye for that.

    Aw, poor little drone! Very nice details throughout the set, riveting render!  i like the shark one too. 

  • Serene NightSerene Night Posts: 17,651

    Thanks Icedragonheart, Novica, Carola, Klooess and Darwin's mishap. I think that image really did turn out!

    Serene Night, I'm glad I found your thread -- I was searching for "cybernetic" at the time.  I think I came in on page 43 where Boyd's brain was in the tank and he didn't want to be seen that way.  

    Meanwhile, I grew a customized temp blank just in case Boyd's brain swells up again and he needs to park it somewhere.  This one is not very buff, but he can walk without falling over now.

    Hah hah hah. Boyd would have you know his brain is a healthy human size 3 pounds! Although he likely would like how handsome his new blank is, good job on that handsome face.=)

    This pose was converted from an old M4 pose set. Taking it up to Gen 8 was a chore but I think it looked cute.
