Male body shape for G8/8.1

Noah LGP

Hi,

I'm looking for a body shape similar to this please

I think by combining morphs in these 2 products you can swing it to your satisfaction:

Jonah HD for Ollie 8 | Daz 3D

Muscularity Morphs for Genesis 8 Male(s) | Daz 3D

Then you must choose the skin material sets that create the final look you want. Because those two morph products are going to create the body and muscle size and cuts, inspect all the specular, normal, and displacement maps. Remove those that take the expression too far or change the expression, or conflict with the expression you want.

Post here a render if it works. I have Jonah but am considering the Muscularity Morphs because the body type you point out in under represented in DAZ products.

Honestly I'm not good at reproducing human shapes so I tried to apply Full Body morphs to Jonah. 

But the results don't really match to the photo #2.

 

• Swole LTD : 25% + AllVolumeShaping : 50%

 

• I also tried with Natural Bodies (bu_es), Body 01 : 15% + Body 08 : 35%

 

• and Warrior Body Morphs (biala)

(Edit) Try this again:

Those are not bad but you are right, too thick. I think the main problem compared to the photos are:

1) More developed, rounded shoulders you need to apply

2) Somewhat bigger lats, like 20 - 25%

3) Not sure what morph(s) does this but thinner, more lithe torso when looking at him in strict profile. front to back, about 10% - 20%. If you have the DAZ Originals Genesis 8 Male Body Morphs look at the morphs it lists for the Torso. Try 20% less with the torso and abs selected on the Z axis, maybe only 10%.

4) The bigger seeming (relative to the rib cage) pecs in the photos is down to pose and posture I think. He's a bit hunched.

5) Abs are tensed and pulled in in the photos.

If you try a product like CGI Frederic for Genesis 9 | Daz 3D materials (too bad you can't use the morph because the body is close, but thicker) from a similar toned Genesis 8 Male product it will help you judge a little bit better. Also a spot/point light above and to the (your, not the subject's) left of the render.

I suggest https://www.daz3d.com/roy-hd-for-genesis-8-male as a starting body shape, then adding the volume wanted at the individual areas.
