Lucian!

  • Personally I'm really pleased with how he looks morphdial wise. He helped me finalise this character for a friend of mine and I am thrilled! Not a fan of the shape of Corbin without the changes but this literally made Justin *perfect* I dropped the pro bundle instantly when I saw Corbin.

    Just a couple of randoms to show the changes a simple skin can make!!

    He ages well.

     

    He looks good old! And yes, I got the same wonky eyes with one of the poses. I think he was folding his arms across his chest. I got that when I loaded the default Corbin. I'll try with plain Lucian and see if it still happens.

    Who else is getting some wonky eye business with the DA Shadow Pose Set?

    I've seen that issue when a character preset is not fully dialed in. Do you have a partial character dialed in or is that pure Lucian?

    100% Lucian 7. Nothing more, nothing less.

    G3M's 'figures' aren't doing it for me. They remind me of M3 in a lot of ways. Fingers crossed for G4M.

    I must say I feel the same way. This entire Genesis 3 been a complete miss for me, in a lot of ways it seems we stepped back to M3/V3... I don't see G4M being any better than 3 unless they actually ask and take in feedback.

    In regards to Lucian, the chest really annoys me, but thats nothing new XD

     

    Don't hold your breath. Remember, we're just a vocal minority.

    I actually like genesis 3 line better than any of the previous lines. I do think for some of these characters like Lucian they aren't really taking much time with and it shows in the poor quality control and hodge podge of included content. If people wonder why men's stuff doesn't sell, often the reason is the quality is just not there. I can't imagine Victoria 7 being released with blue fingernails and deformed nail beds.

    At any rate, love the shape and the way gen 7 males look. But like most things it is a matter of taste.

    Mum has hundreds of romance novels, and I went to look after I read your comment. (I'm physically scared by the experience. crying)

    If you're looking for a remedy to over-expoure to romance novels, take a look at this: Longmire does Romance Novels. My favourite is this one:

    Lucien looks interesting enough, though I'm spent out after the last few weeks. He reminds me (in some promo images at least) of a young Harrison Ford. Maybe it's the scowl.

    Haha

    I like that. And thank you, feeling better now.

    I just wish there was more variety in nicer looking male characters. I think the regular looking guys all have a very similar facial bone structure, especially the cheekbones and the jaw. There are more unusual males, many of the characters look very much the same to me. But we also don't have vendors like Jepe making characters for this series. His men are all very distinctive facially.
  • Serene NightSerene Night Posts: 17,704

    I agree.  I would personally like base figures to suit a specific figure type but for most to be fairly interchangeable so the genes can be mixed up. I don't see a need for bases which don't add to the body shape gene pool.

    I like the Genesis 3 male faces better because Genesis 2 all had this weird thing going on with the temples squeezing in and the male eyebrows crawling up the foreheadnd the odd expressions. But there is always room for improvement as some facial expressions still remind me of sims characters and clothing has a long way to go. I think part of the problem with realism in clothing is the Autofit. I think to make a realistic and better fitted suit of armor that in itself needs to be the body of the character rather than fitting it on the character and stretching and distorting it

    i still would like a longer super hero style male face and fit body and some male pinup style guys. I also didn't think Gianni was a good replament for freak which I still would like to see.

    but I suspect Darius will be our last major male. Before Genesis 4

    Lucian's body definately reminds me of M3. I'm hoping for better 'figures' for G4M too. For me, his line just keeps disappointing.

    @Serene Night  I just noticed the blue toenails - weird. I also get the weird toenails / fingernails shapes - kind of hard to miss when looking.

    G4 better be a very long way away. We don't need a new generation of figure any time soon.

    Next year if the rumor mill is true

    Then they can count me out of buying any new content. A new base figure every couple of years is really idiotic. Most especially if it breaks compatibility with previous generations. People are only going to by the same stuff again so many times before getting tired of it. It would have to be something truly new and absolutely groundbreaking for me to even consider it.

    For me the improvements in posing and in expressions have been significant enough to hope for more of the same with  Gen 4 male however I probably won't buy gen 4 female initially unless there is some really awesome improvement  as I still have lots of female stuff from this generation I haven't used.

    Any folks here want a (really simple, seriously made in 10 minutes) morph to smooth out the pecs a bit?

     

    Makes the body super David like.

     

    Also using the face at 65% or so and cheekbones size at around -40% mixes great with other morphs

    Nice work J Cade! Looks a lot nicer than the original.

    Well, although I liked some of clothing I wasn't going to get this. But with all the extra discounts reducing the pro bundle down to $ $37 I couldn't resist getting it for some of the clothing; plus the hair and poses were a little extra bonus.

    Yeah, at $37.03 I'd like to support the vendors who do have some of the nicer things in the bundle. I agree with a previous poster, I don't like the jacket's collar either, but I guess it's a matter of personal taste. The product I really don't care for is AJ Hair, it's choppy in back and doesn't seem to belong to that style of hair. The rest of the hair is flowing, long strands on the top, front and sides- to suddenly go chop-choppy in back just doesn't make sense to me. And again, I want Lucian to get Parker which is coming down the pike, I already mentioned it previously with a link to the thread. Kudos to the vendors for offering a variety of products, many of which I like. I don't need more poses, but some people do.

    Personally the 20% off Lucian today actually is disappointing to me, since I just bought him yesterday and to be rewarded for buying early with a missed additional discount doesn't work for me.

    I will likely return the bundle and its content. I don't need these kinds of games, and that is a horrible way to reward loyal customers and to punish buyers for buying early.

    I looked at that Parker thread you posted & I'll be glad to see Damen but I wonder if the nose in those renders will be broadened and flattened, to be more like SickleYield's avatar's nose?

    Ooh, I really like Lucien and even the whole bundle. Actually I like Oscar and Corbin better than regular Lucien but I can see how his morphs will add nicely to the gene pool. I think he's sexier (especially Oscar!) than all the other males, has a better jaw line and that bad boy look. The texture on DO Lucien doesn't look that great and hopefully they'll fix the flaws, but I like the ones on both Oscar and Corbin. He looks like he could make a great Native American Indian as well as vampire, goth, rocker, and sexy bad boy boyfriend! 

  •  I must have that face recipe!

     

    I'll send it via PM. :)

    Are you sure you didn't get the discount? I had it (or a discount of that order) on Tuesday and it was set to run on until Monday. Eeven if you didn't get the banner you may well have received the discount.

  • RCDescheneRCDeschene Posts: 2,816

    ZenDesk told me that Lucian 7's finger and toe tails have been fixed! :)

  • NovicaNovica Posts: 23,924

    Hmm what's with the green eyebrows? Already had to fix those gawd-awful blue/green nails. Just HOW did this pass the QA people?  And the hands (not shown) I reduced to 75% in size, they look downright clunky in that one pose set- and size is a contributing factor.

    I reported the green eyebrows on the ticket with the toe and fingernail issue but looks like they didn't fix it.  The green eyebrows are super fugly. Others need to report this issue. His eyebrows should be brown. 

    This is just another one of those things. The characters bodyhair is red and his eyebrows are that godawful color. Very unusual genetics or sloppy development

    The 20 percent offer didn't show up for me until the next business day for me and it stacked with the Lucian discount on offer. I bought Lucian and paid 46 dollars for him or somewhere around that. People getting the discount got him for 37 like Novica.

     

    I kind of felt dissed by this process since I've spent a lot of time troubleshooting and testing Lucian 7 the last two days only to have my time and energy rewarded for being an early adopter by having missed out on a better price

    Thankfully the green/blue is not baked onto the textures, it's only skin settings - to get rid of those - 2 ways - save a skin shader (arm, torso, whatever) of Victoria7 or any other G3F character and ctrl + apply it on Lucian. Or select Lucian's Skin-Lips-Nails in the surface tab and change: Translucency Weight to 0.5, Translucency Color to blue, SSSReflectance Tint to white and (important!) Transmitted (SSS) Color to Red - and you will get something like in my screenshots.

    The guy on the image left of both of those has more natural looking fingernails while the guy on the right has fingernails that almost look like skin growths? I prefer the one on the left. Which of those is the corrected model?

    I wasn't sure that I got the discount for Lucian 7 either. I didn't see the banner until today. But I went back and looked at the order...and while it's hard to tell for sure as the order only shows the full price and not the actual price I paid, when I look at the total for the entire order...the amount I actually paid, it was only $61 and that was for 5 items including the pro bundle, so I'm thinking I got the discount and didn't know I was getting it.
