    Thank you to those who are posting renders of her! I'm loving them - I hope you keep 'em coming! 

    I can't afford to get her right now but she's on my wish list. So I'll have to live vicariously through you guys until I can get her. :) So please don't hesitate to post more renders of her. :)

  • just downloading her now from all the pics she does look nice so much detail in her, looking at her with a little morphing I think she could look a lot like Michelle Rodriguez

    Oh yeah! Good eye. I can totally see that with a few morphs. I love how she always plays tough and cool characters. Loved her in Resident Evil and Avatar. 

  • Bought her.  LOVE her.  Can't post here.  :P  But I will say, she renders beautifully with the BOSS Pro lights and Anagenesis 2. Didn't need to tweak a thing.  If you search katibabi, or the character name (Nyarai) on either Rendo or DA you can probably find the render if you're interested.

    And one more, both morphs and textures again:

    Thank you, xyer0, Diva and BlackTalonArts! *__*

    I'll add a few points:

    1: My Products Used list was very long, so most of it gets cut :p If anyone needs to know a product, let me know!

    2: I reshaped (messily) Dax Hair in ZBrush so it hung a little better in some promos. (Also, I love that hair and am in serious danger of over-using it...)

    3: I hope the lighting examples were kinda useful. (Some of the HDRI shots may have had mesh lights for key, rim, or both. Specular looks a little nicer.)

    4: If people want examples of my skins on other morphs, like Victoria 7, I can provide that. I hate detracting from the main character/person, but I know I'm one to buy skins for skins and slap them on OC's.

    Anywho, thank you for the support! I love making skins! (That's a hard one to explain to people....) >=)

    Immediate purchase for me, and thanks to you listing other products you used, it generated sales from me for a few of them too.  So you're paying it forward in my book.  I have several of the light sets you used in your promos, which is an amazing thing for you to include as part of the process.  It helps sell her seeing her in those different lights, and helps even more to know I have most of them!!!  Keep doing this!!

    Going in my wishlist too. Thanks for creating this thread. I didn't even notice her because I'm so broke now I try not to look too carefully at new offers to entice me. Definitely enticed though, damn. Now I wish I hadn't seen how amazing she is LOL.

    Thanks for that. In my wishlist now. I really couldn't afford Nyarai but I got her anyway. IMHO Saiyness is one of, if not THE, best character artists out there right now. I have most of her characters, and want most of the rest - except Able, who creeps me the heck out. So when I can, I'm getting that hair.

    Thanks for letting people know what hair I used! :) I try to avoid using products from other stores, but I love that hair by Samsil. He/she does natural hair (as braids/cornrows, etc) very well!

    You are most welcome. Thank YOU for your extraordinary characters. Nyarai is inspired.

    I have been bugging Samsil for almost two years to release those hairs. He used them in his clothes promos, but he said they were not up to sale quality back then. Also, RedzStudio recently did the most natural-looking small afro I have seen for Daz/Poser. It's called Redz Real Curly Hair @ renderosity.

    Nice!

  • @xyer0: We must have posted at the same time! XD 

    Loving all the renders of her! It's always interesting to see how people use my characters! I get a massive kick out of it! <3 

    I actually learned about Samsil from these forums. I wouldn't have discovered him/her otherwise. :) (I rarely take a peek at Rendo...)

    Samsil's hairs are awesome. I bought them all the other day :P Also love the character. She landed in my wishlist for later. I'm on a self-imposed Daz diet for a few weeks ;).

    I think she's a great real life charcter in herself so much personality in her expressions might have try and recreate her using morhs and this skin but if anyone else can pull her off hope they post her

    I thought you were bad ass when you made Priya & Imari Saiyaness but Nyarai has to be my favorite model in the Daz catalog. THANKS!

  • @xyer0: She kind of creeps me out in the render with the cobra, but the lighting on her face looks amazing (it highlights her creepy eyes XD). :p And I loooove her expression in the second render! <3 

    Glad to see you having fun with her! :)

  • I have to be honest: I tend to roll my eyes at the vast majority of female character releases, because to me they all seem like "Victoria 7, but with very minor lip/nose jobs". But Saiyaness puts out some of the best female characters (along with RawArt), IMHO (probably because they look like they could be people IRL, for one), and this character is no exception. Stunning work, as always!

  • I am really pleased with this character - probably the finest G3 I have.

    I am having tons of fun with her. She creeped me out too. I had her eyes pointing at the wrong camera, and when I switched, it was so startling that I decided to go with it since she was already in a shamanistic role. The second render uses a combination of Xtreme Expressions, which work great if your character is furious or afraid, but not much else. I have tons of expressions sets, and I have found from demoing them on Nyarai (pre-render) that they are all so-so except So Beautiful Mix and Match, which gives a useful expression on her with each and every dial. The smiles are very nice and do not make her mouth look stupid or creepy, which I find is usually the case for most expression sets.

    Thanks for making her.

    Gorgeous, Valkeerie! She looks photo-glorious! Great work. Share more, please.

    Nyarai Study

    Another wonderful model, thank you for this. Two render passes, point source spot behind, diffuse spot above. First pass with AtmoCam for Iray (storm) to get some rays coming off of her. Second pass without the atmospherics to get a lighter image. Added Ron's Wings of Water, then some layer styles. Picked up some artifacts in the mist and on the wings when I played around with layer types in PS, but I like the overall color effects.

    Oh yeah, I picked up a couple of Samsil's hair. They are wonderful - this one is the Bantu Knots.

    Striking image, Joe Webb! And thanks for the workflow mini-tutorial. Nyarai certainly brings something new and unexpected to that outfit.

    To parrot xyer0, that is a striking image! Amazing work!! That kind of artsy postwork is not my forte, for sure! (I'm so basic...) Really love the colours and drama!
