hahah that would be a nice name too :)
Regarding names btw.. someting that been on my mind for a while after seeing some characters with the same name, perhaps put Darwin's or some other shortening in front of the names of your character models? Might not be a good idea just a little something on my mind :)
Also, not sure if you have seen the comments in John's thread (you may have been too busy to keep an eye on it after all :) ), or if notifications has failed to inform you of that. Figured I should let you know atleast.
I managed to finish another two renders with John which is also in the commercial thread, for whoever wants to look :)
LOL- thanks, everyone!
I am thinking Reece, Clay, Saber, or Mason (Checked the store, none used so far). I think I'm leaning toward Mason, honestly.
Mason is a good name *cheekily supports*
Tom Ellis. born in Wales Reece ( Welsh spelling Rhys )
Rhys is an old Welsh name that means “enthusiasm”. Reese and Reece are the anglicized versions of this name. ... Rhys ap Gruffydd was a 12th century ruler of a south kingdom and would become one of the most powerful and dominant princes of Wales.
I have to admit I prefer the welsh spelling of that name. Rhys sounds much better than Reece in my opinion.
I actually like that spelling as well: Rhys. However, there is a G3M version with that name and I'm trying not to add to the many multiple uses of names. XD I did go with Mason.
Mason is my grandson's name it is a good strong name for sure DM!
John's here!
And he's amazing *totally biazed*
Body/head morphs done, HD Morph Details done (shown with the body/head morphs), basic skin started (shown); chest, arm, facial hare are from Changeling Chick, hair is Casual Spikes. HDRI and two point/two spot lights added for additional depth. Raw render.
Another tester render in different lighting.
Good job.
Reese/Reece is a common name here too, but I don't know if they're originally from Wales.
I had an idea of the origin, but wasn't sure
Last one for a while; I'm now working on the base skin, tweaking details and adding more into the bump maps while de-seaming the entire set. I've also tweaked the facial morph a bit. Still not 100% sold, he's very, very close to what and who I'm going after. Afterall, this is an interpretation of the guy's face, not an exact match.
Still working the skin. Finished seams, updated normal and high pass textures. Time to double check nothing got borked up in the process and then it's tweaking nails, teeth, and mouth textures. Here Mason is at 100% HD body/head details (Kinda hard to see in the face with the light but the HD details are small to begin with for just a touch of skin wrinkles), and 100% body HD details (Dial goes to 200% for a "just worked out" kinda look to his sculpt).
Edited to add the "after" render after the texture tweaking/seam removing/shader editing as well as the newly completed navel morph and nipple presets. The difference is subtle in this lighting (which I really liked), but there were issues.
Before
After:
He's turning out very nice :) and I have to admit, I love his underwear with the little "pow" printing :)
Thanks! Yeah- that's Maxx's thong and Musculeman's added freebie textures. The modeling is well done on that and the swim trunks.
Just because:
He's gorgeous and I LOVE the tattoos!! I had pick him up.
I will never understand Daz Marketing… Nikolai should have been featured in the Pro bundle. After all, we've come to expect the pro bundles to include the best characters, and that those characters are based on the base figure.
Regardless, I'm grabbing the Fantasy bundle, in large part because of Nikolai. He is, like all your males, positively gorgeous!
Aw, thank you both!
He looks awesome DW. Love love love the character. He takes expressions really well too, just tested some. I am getting a gap one his left arm tattoos (not the bat side, lol) - might be a seam issue. Perhaps you can check?
Hi WE!
can you post a screen clip for me?
Here you go... love him to pieces!
Ooo. Nice render!
I am not seeing any seam in the right arm tattoo (the one not with the bats); the area where the back of the arm seam is, there is no ink-that is where I placed the non-inked stripe. The finger areas have no seams I can find either?
The "bracelets" don't go all around the lower and upper arms. I thought they were supposed to, because I didn't see a gap in the promos. If it is part of the design, then awesome!
And thanks on the render. I couldn't get that belt down to where it is supposed to be, over the skirt, but oh well, I'll call it a keyhole or peek a boo, lol
Thanks DM, for another wonderful character.
Ah...ok! Nope, they are blocks of blackout ink with interior designs. XD
It's a great render, I really like it.
Keep an eye out, there's gonna be more. LOL Thank you for your support!
Working on torso hair. Next will be arms/hands/fingers.
crappy render; didn't go long enough, but it gives the idea. XD I may work the pattern over again since it's bugging me, but the hair itself is where I want it.
For something that's relatively patchy, it seems a bit ... dense, perhaps.
Yeah, I didn't like it either. It's been ditched, a different set made for the torso and all of the rest of the pieces are done. Gonna let a render go through the rest of the night and post it tomorrow; it wont' show a whole lot of the fibermesh, but it will show the new torso hair, as well as the arm/hand hair. The finger hairs will be pretty much unseen, I believe, since there are so few of them to begin with. XD
So, here he is sporting the new torso, arm, finger, and facial hair.
