Glad you like them Barbult! She has a set coming at some point in bold colors as well. And mentioned she might be doing a medieval set at some point. I know not everyone does medieval but its one of my favorite genres so I am excited about that lol.
I alos really like Lorellin, she is a lovely character!
And today's render from me is my first look at Robert (picked up as a freebie with FWSA's Liam yesterday).
I rather like him so far, although the eyes are tweaked (glossy reflective turned up a tad on the Eye Moisture surface) because I found them a little too unreflective out of the box.
Hair is Fraser, outfit is Biker Bandit.
Lighting is one of the HDRIs from the FWSA Soft Light Probe set which was a Christmas Freebie last year (sadly no longer in the store) with added point lights from Club Noir Photometric Lights.
She's quite lovely! She strikes me as serene, mythical, and approachable.
MelanieL- Robert looks very brooding, intense- love that energy. I don't think I've ever seen the Club Noir lights showcased, but I might be wrong, it's a long thread. The lighting really makes it! Fraser Hair looks quite natural/relaxed. Thanks for sharing, really like him.
BD Demi Cybele Hair (Gen3F) Leotard (Gen3F) (Freebie) Pro-Studio HDR Lighting System Background is Rigged Water Iray
The materials in the third image are from Lush Core Fabrics for Iray. Nice silks and lace patterns! I also did the bangles. The umbrella is from Z PinUp Mania (the spokes and main tubing is white, I turned it black) and I adapted the pose to put both hands on the umbrella. Thought I'd feature Zeddicuss since there was a nice sale.
I tested Zeddicuss expressions and they go extreme, not at all subtle like the image icons show, if you just do the one click (I tested on several gals) However, they are excellent for using the sliders when you go to Parameters for Pose Controls>Head.
The Pro-Studio HDR Lighting system has one click lighting solutions that really do well for portraits. Several people have already discussed the product previously, so 'nuff said. Since I am trying to render characters that haven't been done before, I'll probably just switch up those lights and crank out some gals and guys.
The Leotard is a very thoughtful gift for everyone by Fisty and Darc. Makes a great swimsuit or dance outfit.
DC Mira for Aiko 7 Bast Hair (Gen3F) First Date Outfit (Gen3F) DG Iray Action Fabrics Shader DG Iray Fabrics of Asia Shaders
Z Opulence- Pose Partials Compilation
"Mira, Mira, on the wall, who wears Bast Hair best of all?"
Using light 2 of Pro-Studio HDR. Mira is a cutie, and if you mix her in with your characters you'll probably get some cute results. I really had fun with the Action Fabric Shaders, the First Date Outfit doesn't look at all like the original. So this may be the school uniform / hair of the future...
I used Slosh's hair shaders and did the bangs peacock, and the rest of the hair purple. The beads are done with the Ceramics for Iray.
This was light 13, and Z Such a Diva poses
Okay, look at Tenshi. You can get her for 50% off at $9.48, or get the bundle of the character, outfit, and textures- that's right, three things- for 70% off and $10.49. (THEN add any discounts you get from buying a new release and your Holiday discount.)
Pensacola has a 50% or higher chance of tornadoes starting at 5pm, ugh. I'm going to be off the computer most the day today. (Been on all night. More renders coming for you later this afternoon if I get a chance. Have some different ones of Mira and several more characters.)
Well, I can't stand it, I need to go get some sleep but I know some of you will be shopping, and this is a featured store (not today's special, Silver's store is in the Medieval Holiday.) I tested her and was going to do her later, but when I saw the viewport results, I wanted you to see Blaire now. And yes, I think she will make an excellent child. She is wearing Hawthorne Hair (which is a Genesis 2 hair.)
Guess who.
Dahlia (Gen3F) Everyday Updo Hair Z Such A Diva Poses DG Iray Sequins and Scales
The Updo Hair has nice one click solutions to reducing the bun and changing up the hairstyle. Dahlia can be a bad-girl with the ultra heavy makeup, but the lesser makeup really changes her look.
FW Brooke HD for Victoria 7 Divinity Outfit (Gen3F) Sapphire Hair
With the reddish eyebrows, I made my own complementary lip color by doing a yellow diffuse and orange transluscent color. I'd like to see fewer multiple red lip colors, and have at least one orange tinged lip color. At least vendors have a somewhat neutral color so you can do it yourself.
This was an orange themed light setup for the first three, then more natural lights for the last.
P3D Emi (for Mei Lin 7) Mech Girl (Gen3F) Tatum Hair (Gen3F)
For fun, thought I'd show you the Mira (the gal I showed with Bast Hair a few posts back) with Lani Hair and her morphs changed up a bit. (The eyes, nose, and mouth.) Want to mention the outfit is the same one as shown previously, only it's with shaders.
Wow, looks so nice! Like how that hair looks on her and how well all the colors together.
@Novica, Barbult...when you two are kidizing the characters with Growing Up, is this the product that you say helps with the dreaded 'third boob' in shirts?
Fit Control for Gen 3 Females
Let me go try it on a kid for you-it's been awhile since I fiddled but I'll show you. I'll be back in a few, I'll have to load up someone.
Before and after. Be sure and read the pdf- you select the clothes first, then the person, and go to Parameters. It flattens the chest nicely. I saturated and midtoned it a lot (but did both EQUALLY) so you could see the differences. EDIT: Here's the settings. Should work/get you close on most kids' chests.
Click to enlarge if you have a small monitor, this is 575 pixels, it's almost 900 tall. Hope it helps.
Thank you Novica! That is exactly what I was curious about :) That 'third breast' thing drove me nuts.
Ooh, I want to try Khory's neutral shaders on the new Christmas Dinner set. I bet they'd look very nice. The room and props are fairly generic and look like they'd take a lot of different color schemes easily.
PS The Everyday Updo Hair looks amazing, Novica! I thought I had that one, looks like I have a different updo hair.
Here's a partial render of Akimitsu for G3F! Really like her, as she has fantasy eyes and makeup, and elf ears.
Unfortunately I couldn't get the mouth material that has a design on her chin to render. This might not be the exact morph, but I'm still rendering and can't get to it right now. Maybe someone else can test it in Iray?
She is lovely! What hair did you use?
Definitely nice work, however, her eyes should be looking down the length of the arrow instead of looking straight ahead into space.
Sienna Hair for G3F and G2F.
Thanks for that! I didn't even notice.
Aw, I just thought she was considering a second target instead of the first one
She's lovely!
@llynara- yes, you'll love that hair. It's got a lot of one click solutions to change the bun and appearance. Love it when vendors do that!
I'm taking a lot of things out of my cart, these discounts are never consistent. Apparently it's not supposed to discount the discount price, just apply it to the regular price. But that's not how it's been working unless I'm going daft. Which I probably am.
See my post in Commons- I've tested the cart for over an hour and if the discount offered is less than what the product is already discounted (aka, you get 50% off if you buy a new item, but it's already discounted 58%) then the Holiday discount might not be applying.
Akasha (Gen3F)
I'm not repeating links to all these hairstyles that we've already covered.It's Flashy Hair and Kylon Hair and the Esther Outfit top. Note the dark fingernails, you will have to lighten those. Also, the lips could use some bump. This was out of the box.
Okay, I took a chance and got the Avant Hair (a .hr2) as this thread said "no problem." Yes, it's Poser, and it has mc6 for materials- but the problem is, the hair isn't there. Only the skull cap! (in content library, under hair, RDNA Avant Dynamic Hair. Anyone else have this hair? LOVE the looks of it. I got it as the free item, thought why not? I can't find the hair anywhere though.
Andie for Olympia 7 using Rochelle Ponytail Hair and Galene Hair. Don't know how I missed this cutie! I did reduce the bust, it's large. Wanted to show you the default Galene Hair (very slicky) vs Slosh's UHT shaders for the hair. Also showing you a couple different lights in the Pro Studio HDR Lighting System.
I think I'll try her as a kid.
First is light 2.
Next Light 17, which I will use for the Galene Hair renders too.
This is the default Galene Hair. Looks oily and too stringy for my preferences. Great for a wet look though.
This is Slosh's hair shaders.
Andie for Olympia 7 as a child. I always reduce the head size, it's too big. This is 97.7, I usually do 96%. This still seems way too big to me compared to the hands. You'll have to manually adjust where the eyes are posed, they will go a bit off center.
Try a manual download from your product library and then open it up to see where it is. On the other hand, given that the RDNA stuff was just thrown into the store with no metadata etc, there have been instances of zips within zips or something...the mushroom one I got has nothing in it either. Set a ticket in last month, still waiting.
edit: wait, doesn't it say it's 'dynamic' hair? Dynamic for poser in the hair room?
