    Kargath is a nice basic. He doesn't appear to have HD included with his figure. He should. He needs some more definition. But he has a nice basic skin, and good features. He too has Maxx's nipples though.

    Here's Soto's new swimwear texture as mentioned earlier  https://cloud2.zoolz.com/s-jbks28lbwink

    Nice pattern!

    Right. The pattern. We're all looking at the pattern. Uh-huh.

    Actually yes, I just bought a load of shaders during the PC+ sale last week too. laugh

    Alexei for Scarr. This is just a texture, but I rather like it. The baked in forehead crease might be an issue- But I couldn't see an option to remove it. The skin will work on other figures, includes gen mats, and some nice options for makeup.

    Here is the final of the Scar's. This is MST Airmait. He includes a number of nice eye options, some geoshell makeups, and an attractive body. The only negative for me, is his head appears slighly lighter than the rest of him. I am not sure why.

    It looks a bit like the face is less translucent than the rest of the body.

    I wonder if maybe he has an misplaced/incorrect texture in the translucency slot in his face. It looks like there's a very clear, sharp line between his face and torso texture, which usually means either mismatched textures between the diffuse and translucency, or mismatched settings between torso and face, as Morimann said.

    You are correct. The pa posed that a thank you in the Scar thread. Apparenlty there is a texture problem with the character, and she/they are going to post an update soon.

    here's the actual pic. I sort of used a bleached out filter, which I thought was different.

    Boyd wants to add his shirt to the load in progress. Owen explains that these old antiques will just start over again, and you will have to pay more money.

    To render the King Wash Laundrymat, I had to take out the left wall, and the roof, and run texture optimizer. It ran in about 14 minutes. The first time. Subesquent times increased the time it took to render, until, I restarted DAZ and then forced it to quit and then it rendered in 9 minutes once it loaded. Go figure.

    Okay, on the subject of women's clothing for men, here is Ion's Winter Parker for G8F fitted to Boyd over the Strictly business jeans and shoes, gloves from the winter clothing set  and t-shirt from fabulous fifties set. I have to say the parka, looks pretty good on the men. It does not have morphs, though, so I had to use fit control to add a waist expansion and expand all option.

    Wish my winter parka still looked that good. I still got me from 1998 that I bought for a ski trip and it was expensive then but the high price wasn't justified. The bright safety red color it was originally is now a faded dull red, not faded to faded pink though. It's Columbia brand but I don't think that makes a difference, they are all made in the same overseas factories no matter the brand so may as well save money and buy a cheap house brand next time.

    I tend to wear men's winter coats like this one a lot. I live in a colder area and summers are brief. We get a cold wind from the ocean year round and it can go right through you. I always laugh when target sells its thin summer clothing because none of,it is geared for pacific coast summers. Locals will tell people to layer, but the ones shivering are tourists who buy into the press that ocean and beach towns are warm places.

    mens coats are cheap and I buy them at sears during the winter. I find sears tends to have menswear geared towards working men, tends to last.   I stopped buying female jackets because they make them thin and sacrifice warmth for fashion. if I wanted half my chest exposed in winter I'd need to be a yeti. 
     

    Plus I have no liking for fake fur, or jackets that are tight. I want bigger so I can layer over the clothing I must wear to keep,warm. For some reason it is always cold at work too.

    You then have heard the saying that every baseball announcer repeats at least once in every game broadcast from Candlestick Park: "The coldest winter I ever had was the summer I spent in San Francisco." However, my Columbia Skicoat makes that one Boyd is wearing look like a female fashion coat so it can handle the Pacific Ocean currents where you live (I think they originate in the Arctic go past Russia, Alaska, to Japan and then circle back around to California. Completely crazy. I just looked it up: Subpolar Gyre)

    I have yet to visit the New World Pacific Coast but am going to in the next 5 years. I've actually only ever visited the beach in Georgia and Florida if you're talking American tourist expectations of beach vacations (Georgia fails that one but most of the Atlantic Coast of Florida doesn't).

    Also a line from a Sleatter-Kinney song (slightly paraphrased).

    The Alien Sentry drone is a nice bot. It comes with several color variations moveable parts and attachable engine jets. The jets are better than most I have seen.

    Promethus HDRI's which were releasted today look great. they provide much needed dark, but quick to render Cyberpunk render presets. You will need to use DOF with these to make the background look more appropriately ominous. 

    Here I took the Alien Sentry Drone and placed it in one of the easy to use HDRIS. I just depth of fielded it, and its ready to go!

    ^ I generally don't spend money on HDRI's, but those looks spectacularely well done. Might make an exception!

    Aura for Genesis 8 Female.

    I have applied the transgender morphs and the genesis 8 male base skin and  a little of AgentUnawares Transgender morphs. Aura is very feminine, so to achieve a more masculine appearence you must dial in only some of the Aura moprh.

    I think they are pretty cool and produce nice renders out of the box

    Yes, I tried some beautiful HDRIs that were very hi-res but they failed as soon as you looked at where 3D models meet the ground. I think sky & flight HRDIs though work well when the HRDIs are nice since the ground and nearby phographed 3D objects problem is absent.

    Since someone asked to see some renders, these are 3 from the Ultimate Skin Moisture system for G8 Male

    Here we have BabyOil and two different types of skins for Soaking Wet.

    I like the baby oil somewhat for realism but the others not. Most people instantly dry but for some water droplets and water running from clothing and hair as soon as they get out of the water.

    The first one looks fine but I don't think you need to spend money to achieve that look. 2nd and 3rd look pretty bad.
