Thank you all for the input, I greatly appreciate it!
As you can guess, it's been hectic here lately. I did manage to get a secondary external drive, which will eventually house all of my character sets' folders pre-submission as well as all of my Adobe extras (There are ...a lot), among other things.
However, I am heading out as of tomorrow morning to travel until the end of the month- so all of that is now on hold until my return. I do hope everyone has a great holiday, in whatever capacity you celebrate!
Until then (I may check in from time to time if there is time-ha), be well and take care of each other!
Happy Holidays and safe travels!
Thank you! Hope everyone had a great holiday week! Still not home, yet. ;)
I just wanted to post an image I did tonight of Damen!!
Just sneaking by to leave virtual treats and hugs! Hope all are well with you and yours Dar, and the same to the rest of the wonderful people in this thread! *hugs*
Very nice render of Damen, Saph, thank you!
Thank you, Carola- same to everyone here. Been in a bit of a funk for the past month (artwise), but-back at it now. :)
Good morning/afternoon/evening everyone.
To update: We have had a family visit for most of the month, which was awesome. Little work got done, but it was good to have family here.
Moved my Studio stuff to the second external drive-two days it took to migrate files. Oi.
GPU replaced, it's working- but the back case fan works when/if it wants to now. I have to knock the back of the case to even get it to try to start working.
The PC is now growling at me- it sounds like a sick moped. I think the thing is giving up, and it takes a good minute and a half most times to even open a tab and use it, much worse opening any program like CS, Studio, BS3D, etc.
I really don't need this thing to die, seriously.
*sigh* I may just finish up Domonkos without tats/make ups. I don't think I have one character without, and I hate the idea of doing that as he already has a couple of good LIE make up sets done.
I dunno-but I'm gonna do my best and get him out as it's been way too long since I've done a release.
I actually started a Patreon page months ago and published it, but never put it out there for people (if any) to get interested in. I don't know why I've hedged on this so long, but at this point I don't know if I'd be able to keep up the schedule of bi-weekly updates. Again, I dunno.
.........I think I need more coffee. *Twitch*
*offers extra coffee* As long as you, O and the rest of your families are ok, that's the most important thing :) And I hear on computer trouble, mine tend to throwing temper tantrums at me somewhat regularly.
As for Dom, follow your heart in that. IF you wish to release him without tats and make up than you do so, if not than we can wait. Out of curiosity, is he for Genesis 8 or is he made to work for g8.1 too? Not sure when you PA's got to work with the new UV so I'm curious if he's both or not :)
Thank you.
He is currently for G8M; I am working on a G8.1 figure, but not for Domonkos. I have more ideas to work with for the new guy, but it wasn't vibing with Domonkos' overalll feel for me. I did end up keeping his LIE presets; So I think I'll add more options to that and leave off the tats for him since I just wasn't feeling them at all.
Ok, some progress this morning. Finished the translucency and gloss settings for the body/gens and saved those. Saved out the different fibermesh colors for the face/body hair under the beard and have copied them onto the brow...now I need to do the rest of those for the arms, legs, and body. Eyelash colors (both sets) are now done. Gonna toss him into a portrait render with the blonde beard/brows and a hair and get grub. XD
Render: Blondie (Domonkos)
Good to hear you had a nice family catch up Dar. Always great to spend time with family and friends, especially after the issues the pandemic caused in 2020 and continues to do so for some.
Domonkos will be awesome anyway you choose to release him. And it is not like most of us do not have access to enough tattoo assets to make him look like a graffiti wall in minutes (or that could just be me personally).
I too am getting close to having to make my Patreon page as my visual novel/game gets closer to release. I am sure your page will be much more interesting than mine.
Also looking forward to see what you can do with 8.1.
David
Thank you, TIC. It was very good to have the time, and it was appreciative that we got it.
I appreciate that. XD I just saved out the last set of the fibermesh hair colors and realized I hadn't made any for the gens area. (Sigh) Eh. What I have left to do is check his nails, as they looked kinda funky after the quick test render I did of him and the fibermesh hair (quick-hah; around two hours); it may be the lighting, but I gotta check that.
Sounds very interesting, that Patreon. I haven't put mine out there yet simply because I am too much into a "my PC may be dead soon" area and prior had not had any time since I made it in November to commit.
I appreciate that, too! I have Eye-D-Ahs. ;) Started a skin set for G8.1, but I need to figure out how to work with the new UVs-again, been working on Dom and then not being able to work thing.
Just a friendly reminder Dar - don't forget the chest hair this time - although gens hair seems to be your hair of choice this time
David
No worries-he has chest, arm, hand, leg, toe hair with a beard and eyebrows. I just wanna make sure I make some lower pelvic options as well. lol
Not dead yet.
Glad to hear you're still around!
I admit I had to do a double take at the picture when I looked at it, I think it is a light reflection in his eye (his left) but it almost look like someone have put a ultrablank black bead/pearl into his eye. As I said, I think it is the reflection but I felt I should mention it just in case :)
That image in itself is not my type of image, but I am still looking forward to see more of him! *hugs*
Where as this is exactly my type of image. Glad to see you are stil progressing Dar. As always looking forward to Dom joining the rest of your characters in my content library.
David
Thank you both!
So, here's another version-this time he has a buddy.
... oohhh my.. *fans self* soo when do I get to take him home? :)
Haha - Sorry Dar but when I first looked at the latest picture my 1st thoughts were - oh dear - that dforce simulation on his tshirt has not gone well.
But as always great render and character. And I think his "friend" is watching me. Hope he/she is friendly.
And you have my envy over one thing in that render for it is something totally beyond my ability. Being able to get hair to go under a hat. I have watched video after viedo on using deformers/geomertry editor. Sadly with my very limited colour sight I have issues spotting what I have highlighted so it does not end well. So if my men want to keep their heads warm with a hat, bald or buzzcut is has to be. Closest I can get is with SY's hat and hair helper.
David
Thank you, and no problem. lol- yeah, the shirt can be a tricky one, but at least the set has the shape already set as a preset so no dforcing or deformers were needed.
As for the hair under the cap; that is always a pita. This particular one, however, was a freebie - I'll have to go through my files to see where I saved the site and who it's by. I used to know off of the top of my head, but the swiss cheese memory has struck tonight and I can't remember.
On a good note; Domonkos is in Daz's testing!
On another note: I started a new sculpt. This is for G8.1 M, and it's the first pass. There will be two more; one to final the facial structure and another for finer details. I may go back in after the morphs are done and do a HD (up to 4 subd, since my system won't work with anything more) for specific tweaks.
Going for an 80's vibe on this one; he's a mix of two actors so far. ;)
The beanie with the hair is this one https://sharecg.com/v/92677/gallery/21/DAZ-Studio/FINAL-Delsin-Beanie-and-Hair-for-G8M, it's very memorable and useful.
Very nice!
Without context, I would have mistaken the left and the middle renders for photos.
(Not that there's anything wrong with the right render!)
I have to think of Dacre Montgomery in Stranger Things. But that could also just be because of the general 80es-ness of those renders. And Dacre's character is of course based on a kind of 80es archetype.
Thank you! I kinda noticed that too, regarding Dacre Montgomery after putting the three renders together. XD
And you're very right, thank you zombietaggerung!
Wow you ave been busy Dar!!!!
Love the new character!!! Drools lots!!
Can not wait till he gets aproved for sure!!!
I would love to be put back on your list of random testers if I could Dar?!
great work
Sure thing! Thank you. :)
Awesome thanks Dar!!
You're very welcome!
