[Released] Faber Inc MENFIS: The Egyptian Bundle for G9 [Commercial]

Faber Inc

Hey everyone! 
I’m excited to finally introduce MENFIS: The Egyptian Bundle for Genesis 9

This project holds a unique place in my heart. Not only is it my first clothing item, but it’s also inspired by one of my lifelong fascinations: ancient Egyptian culture and art.

Creating this bundle was an incredible journey. I’ve learned a lot during the process and can’t wait to see how you use MENFIS in your artwork!

Your feedback is always appreciated

Thank you so much for your support!

Complete the look with MENA Eyes and Hands Makeup, inspired by the ornamental aesthetics of North African and Middle Eastern cultures."

Quick question for Faber Inc or anyone who bought already: is the makeup set LIE or Geoshell or colour overlays in the Iray shader slots?

Hey MelanieL! The eyes and hands make up use the makeup slot in the surface parameters. These are not L.I.E presets or Geoshells.

Great as always! 

The character is very realistic and detailed and the clothes and accessories are fantastic, it doesn't even seem like they were your first. 
With the videos you made for promotion, you blew my mind  hehehe 

Congratulations!

 Thanks for replying - that's good news. I find LIE incredibly slow on my system so I try to avoid using those.

I definitely enjoy him!

Have you tried in Preferences > Interface setting Layered textures to Speed/Size?

I probably have not! Thanks for the hint.

I loved that an Egyptian character looked like an Egyptian, not a spray tan white guy. Then the outfit, yeah, really nice. Please feel free to create more clothing. Then I looked closely at the details of the jewerly. It looked like an artist actually place the individual pieces on each piece, so they weren't perfect, just off a little here and there. Like someone really created each piece with tools and love. This might not be noticeable on a distant shot, but for close-ups! Thank you.

Great character, realistically middle eastern-looking, I much appreciate that! And some beautiful eyes he has . Got him yesterday when the stars (i.e. punches and token) aligned. Thanks for coming up with original character types like this!

memcneil70 thank you!  Actually, Menfis is based on a "famous" Egyptian character...;)
I appreciate you noticing the details in the jewelry. Some were intentional, and others were simply the best I could manage, lol. In this case, the theme worked in my favor.

Amazing product as always !  Thanks for all your hard work.

This is an AI enhanced image using the great new character bundle.  To create the Sphinx, used a scaled up version of the character with the headdress from the bundle and a rock from my library.

My workflow: I start with a DAZ Render attached here (it doesn't have to be great since it will be enhanced), ControlNet Depth mask (third attachment) for the image composition diffusion in A1111, using the epicRealism model available on CivitAI, then Img2Img with a closeup render and composite in Photoshop (fidelity to the original character is still not great, sorry, but working on it). 

Prompt (Without ControlNet there's no way to control the AI composition - Using DAZ and products like Faber Inc's with AI is a great way to control your final results.  

Realistic color photo  portrait of a handsome male Middle Eastern man, adventurer, (side glance:1.2), angry look, age 25, shirt open to expose stomach and bare chest, wind-tousled dark hair, shirt blowing in the wind, khaki shorts with belt, standing in the desert, ancient destroyed sphinx and Egyptian ruins in the background

This bundle is a true treasure. You already know what I thought at first glance, but isn't never enough congratulations for a masterpiece.

The AI image doesn't even look like the original character anymore, as well as having typical AI image mistakes.

I had my first opportunity to try out the Menfis bundle today. This is just a quick render (first look) so nothing artistically special, but I love him already.

I had a bit of trouble with his eye makeup - I put one set on, then changed my mind and tried to change the colour but it seems I lost the eyeliner somewhere along the way! I render on CPU, so I went off to get a coffee and didn't notice my mistake till the render was complete. Better luck next time, I tell myself!

Great work MelanieL! Thank you! Yeah, the base MU shapes reset the other color and accent settings. I wish there were a better system for that in the future.
