    I thought I would share my latest effort.  I think the skin turned out really good.  I used the Darius 6 skin with a couple of slight modifications to the surface settings.  I think the worked out really well, too.

    Wow that is a gorgeous render!

    Thank you, Dire's Work.  It's actually the best I've gotten dark skin to date.  I really like how it turned out.

    My WTP skin shaders are pretty cool, though they have an obvious flaw for dark skin (which thankfully isn't too obvious in this picture).

    Namely, lighter palms.

    So I just have to ensure you can't see hands, or characters wear gloves, when using these shaders. Heh.

    Mostly a product comparison, and what happened when I shifted a couple of characters from Genesis 2 to Genesis 3 with Cayman Studios' Legacy UV product. And everybody is wearing Mindvision's Swimwear II from here at Daz. (Weirdly, Mindvision has both Swimwear II for G2F and Swimwear 2 for Genesis, which is a touch confusing on a search.)

    Again experimenting with my WTP shaders, with a shot framed to keep the palms out of view... heh. (Also a good closeup)

    Who is this beauty?

  • FistyFisty Posts: 3,416

    I can't find her..  unless the lip shape has been changed.    I recognise my earrings though.  =)

  • ALLIEKATBLUEALLIEKATBLUE Posts: 2,971

    I think it might be Hahana for Kalea 7. If so, she looks very different here than in the promo

  • FistyFisty Posts: 3,416

    yep, I think you're right..  same light spot under her left eyebrow.

  • ALLIEKATBLUEALLIEKATBLUE Posts: 2,971

    Now I have to get her.  Sometimes the promos don't do the character justice. 

  • Virtual_WorldVirtual_World Posts: 1,090

    Sorry but I didn't receive any notification from the forum or may be they are in my spam folder.  Yes, it is Hahana and those are your earrings Fisty.  I love all of my purchases. 

    alliekatblue, for this render I manually attached to the environment an HDR image that comes with Poser and rotated it until I got this ilumination.  I used different lights for my promos.

    It's not, strictly speaking, Afrofuturism, but part of my general using black people in scifi renders.

    Well, been out of the loop for a bit. I mostly tried to keep the list updated but let me know if I missed anything major. Now there were some things of note I saw while glancing at the thread:

    wowie said:

    Testing out my new materials preset for UberSurface2/3delight on Marie, Grace and Monique. Grace doesn't come with spec maps unfortunately, so specular is uniform all over the skin and enabled on the eyebrows. Probably too strong. I also had to push up the diffuse to get the same general luminance as Monique's skin.

    The lacrimals and tears still bothers me though.

    Monique

    Grace

    Marie

    Critiques, comments welcome.

    While the current links seem to be broken (don't know if that's permanent or due to the server hiccups recently) I remember the images being good in different ways and had difficulty picking the best. Did you have the settings listed elsewhere?

    Experimenting with skin shaders. The skin, eyes, etc are all procedural shaders I'm working on. The hair/eyebrows are colored with Unshaven 2 jet black.

    Makeup uses masks and various forms of car paint.

    Earlier in the thread, KickAir 8P was orking on palm/sole masks. Hopefully they'll be useful to you: http://www.daz3d.com/forums/discussion/comment/846447/#Comment_846447

    Well, there's something unexpected. Reciecup has a new character at That Other Store, Venus for V4. I wonder where she's been the past five years? (The last item in her store before today has a readme date of 2011 ... although I'm pretty sure there were some later things that may have been pulled since then.)

    And which 'Other Store' is that...since I've seen her stuff at least two other places since she closed down her site...

    You can mention the other sites, but you can't post links to commercial products.

    Sorry; for some reason, I was thinking you could read my mind! Apparently, telepathy doesn't work in the forum!

    Anyway, Venus is at Renderosity.

    I wanted to use the new X-Fasion Turban.  :)  EJ Etta with a few morph changes.

    Picked up Kiki For Kalea 7 the other day.  Her skin is really great.  Cute character too though the below image does not use her morphs at all, just the skin

    I used Kiki for an image -- or rather, set of images -- for the Aging Morphs contest. Didn't win, but I think it was a decent set of images. Although, given how heavily aged she was and how thoroughly postworked the other part of the image is, you can't really see her as she is in her promos in this set, either.

    Title: Grandma used to be SOMEBODY!

    Alternate title: Ontem, quando eu era jovem

    Featuring the lovely Kiki for Kalea 7 both with Aging Morphs and without; SS Lainee for Kalea 7 and Sunny 7 with Growing Up Morphs. (I wonder, 20 or so years down the road, when people who have grown up only with digital photographs want to show their past to their grandkids and alternately bore them to tears/fascinate them with the sheer oldtimeyness of it all, how that will work. The digital doesn't actually endure particularly well unless you make very specific preparations for it.)

    Grandma

    Damn, it's so good; and she looks so beautiful.

    Othere than the hair (which is down to Daz) this looks real.

  • Oso3DOso3D Posts: 15,021

    Cayman, one of a bunch of figures I picked up lately.

    Messy Dreads and Omri hair scalp (didn't like the dread scalp), some top coat bump from Anagenesis, and so on.
