    Another nice lilflame outfit. This time Flex Undies for G8f. 

    Autofit works well for these. I recommend using included  morphs to tug them slightly down. the apply a bit of smoothing, if you dial some bulge on your guy, you can show hidden properties on the swimwear and dial out the bulge. They fit better when you turn on some smoothing and reduce the size slighly.  There are some nice undress morphs with these, and there is a texture expansion.

    Owen and Boyd head out to the Marina for a cup of coffee and a muffin before work. The new Marina product, I do quite like, but it has odd mat zones. I ended up making a primative on the ground to make the ground wood, since it was cobblestones which I didn't care for.

    The boards are from: https://www.daz3d.com/iray-woodworx-shaders Which is 30 percent off right now. This one is called "flooded fine" 

    It includes regular boards, weathered boards, and boards tthat have water puddles..It is a great product!

    On the subject of hot new guys, here is Gilgamesh. If you haven't picked up Swolefor G8m  by SimonWM, you should definitely check him out. he includes multiple characetr presets, a very nice skin with some lovely blue vascularity, different skin tones, and shininess and several character options and some morph dials, so you can dial in a little Swole- or a lot.

    EJ Lorcan comes with multiple skin tones, his own loin cloth, scar textures, eye textures and other options. He renders well, and I like his shape. He does have a really obvious french mani pedi and some palm textures which don't blend well with the rest of his tone, and which probably aren't enhanced by my lighting. 

    I think he is quite sexy. Might try a different skin on him.

    Is that First Bastian's Marina?

    Oh, I ablsolutely love SWOLE 8 and will 100% recommend it. I think almost every male character I render has 10-20% of a SWOLE body dialled in. It's just a really good morph pack to have if you like muscular male characters.

    The skin has that spray-tanned/shiny/vascular look that is popular amongst professional bodybuilders but that I personally don't find attractive, so I rarely use it. There is also 5 o'clock shadow geoshell (that I sometimes use) and a buzzcut geoshell (that I never use). I think of all those things as nice little extras.

  • Serene NightSerene Night Posts: 17,658

    Yes, I agree. It is a fantastic package, which allows you to customize G8M quite well.

    The he loves him poses are really great. Please support vendors who make nice content like this.

    This is a quick head-only pose which will reset the face expression after it has been added with a pose.

    Thanks. That's very useful.

    The dforce Victorian Butler Outfit looks really cool. I wasn't keen on the texture expansion. The colors looked really a pimp-like for a victorian Butler, but I guess some butlers might enjoy a bit of color. This could conceivably make a nice modern tux with a different jacket.

    This is Sci-fi Guard outfit, by Demian.

    I apologize in advance if I am a bit of a zomboid today. It is allergy season, and even 'non-drowsy medications' make me drowsy. 

    I really liked this outfit a great deal. It has a nice bodysuit which I am showing, and most of the items can be removed, so you can have a fully armored character or a partially armored character. The helmet glass can be changed, if you like, but the style will lead itself to bubble head if you aren't careful with your chocie of  shaders. Overally, I think this is a really nice outfit!

    Pimps need butlers, too.

    Dzheng has generously posted a free mask for G8M  in his blog. I'll post the link as soon as it has been updated. It is currently linking to a different file.

    Here is dForce Well Dressed Outfit for G8M. I like this one. Far less pokethrough than the previous Aave outfit. It fits Boyd really nicely. I did find some issues with the collar in certain poses, but I like it.

    One of my peeves with DAZ store's naming structure is that items are called "dForce- Something" but when you go to look for it, half the items drop the word dForce. Either use dForce in the title, or don't use it but if an item in the store has dForce in the name, I really want to be able to search by that as it's name. It gets confusing otherwise.

    Thank you for the link!  Downloading now. :)

    I did eye that Sci-fi suit with the release, and was very tempted; I normally don't do a lot of sci-fi (or artsy renders at all anymore), but ...that would be one I'd get in the event that I did.  I may do so.  Thank you for showing it off!

     

  • Serene NightSerene Night Posts: 17,658

    I do think the sci-fi suit was especially nice!

    Well here is a free (for today only, well maybe free the entire weekend) Sci-Fi suit for V4 that would probably outfit well: https://www.daz3d.com/technophilia-retro-gynoids-v3-rock-it

    This is my first use of dreamlight's Getaway HDRI. I also got a chance to use Dzheng's mask freebie and Yamaki Enforcer motorbike. Boyd has on the Vizor glasses by Kaos3d.

    I remember that render or a similar one you did a while back but I didn't realize it was that set.

    Auto Muscle Enhancer HD for G8M looks really good. I prefer a subtle amount to the very big amount which you can apply. On the left is Boyd as usual, on the right is Boyd with 25 percent dialed in. Please note there is an included shape in the pack, but I did not use it beyond the 1 percent needed to trigger it all.  Boyd is muscular already, and did not need to be bigger.
