    this forum thread https://www.daz3d.com/forums/discussion/636/links-aiko3-free-resources/p1

    has a lot of free/legal stuff for Aiko3 and there may be another thread for Hiro

    There's a horns pack in the daz store that was title "universal" so it may work with any figure

    They're not as close as I got with Aubrie. I don't feel like I've done H3 justice, I might have to go off script to get something I happy with.

    Marcus Morph preset for H3

    Keep in mind, Aiko 3 was released 20 years ago and people are still getting some good use out of her.

    Been on a preset kick lately, doing matching sets for generations 3-4.

    Stretching the rules a bit here, but this is definitely derived from A3.

    Some of you will remember "Dody for Aiko 3" from 2 years ago.

     

    Here is a look at the Aiko 4 version.

    Coulda sworn she came out in 2002. I've slept since then though. Maybe I'm thinking of the original Aiko model.

    Yup. I was thinking of the original odd-looking model. I dunno if they even still sell that one, but she was kinda off putting.

    Yeah, A3's kinda old... but your right, I'm still getting very good use out of her!

    Aiko3 and Hiro3 are what I use 90%+ of the time.

    Yup, you're probably thinking of this one:

    She (and her male morph "Maiko", unofficially named by PA Xena) was a morph of the first Stephanie, who herself was created from Mike2's mesh. 

    Fun times.

    Decided to try and improve my understanding of composition and then implement what I learned. I give it a pass and a fail. The last image has all the elements I wanted but it doesn't quite work, A3 is supposes to be the star but she's being upstaged by the birds hence the other images.

    Testing out an Iray preset for Generation 3 on Aiko3.

    That would be the one.

    Thanks!

    I'm not expecting much, just figured it would be interesting to participate for once, but who knows.

    @Ethin That's a beautiful render. I really admire what you've done with Aiko 3 in this thread. I have a soft spot for her as she's one of the first characters I used when I began my 3D art hobby.

    Thank you @Calliope23! blush I'm just trying to share with the rest of the world what I see in her.

    I've been on this digital artist's journey for half my life and Aiko's always been at my side, I guess her name doesn't mean Beloved for nothing.

    You're welcome! smiley I admire your philosophy and your story. I've been looking at my old Aiko 3 renders this evening. It makes me feel nostalgic. Mostly I made renders I could use for avatars on roleplaying games. That's her in my DAZ forum avatar that I've been using forever. I'm going to go play in DAZ Studio and see if I can make any decent renders of Aiko 3! yes

    Oh, I see we can show old renders, so here's one of my first renders of Aiko 3 from the early 2000's.  I didn't have any armor for her at the time so I just used her bodysuit!

    Title: Apprentice Dragonslayer
