    Mk2:

    render mk2reference

    I loosened up her shoulders. I'm not sure why I was having so much difficulty with them earlier, but this time they went right where I wanted them. All four limbs are now only very slightly clipping the ground, with the exception of her thumbs. I'm going to have to experiment with them some more. Any problems I haven't spotted?

    Ok, I think I'm getting close to the end of this...or it's getting close to the end of me...

    This looks really good.  I can't find anything to nitpick.  I do have to ask where you got the prosthetic though.  I don't believe I've seen that anywhere.

    hey Knittingmommy, the prothetic is made by askance for Genesis. You can find it here :

    Well...I think this is it.  Not that it's done, but I am (at least through the end of the month).  I've certainly learned a lot this month...from pinning (who knew?), to looking for clues in a 2D image for how the shapes have to be, to not biting off waaaaay more than you can chew....Thanks everyone for the support and comments.  Looking forward to next month's challenge.

    lucky me, to have a view days off to celebrete my hobby. So I worked on a second scene for the contest. Please try to overlook the ladies  " hair", I simply could not find any suitable in my inventory. And I swaer, her ni...ls,  I`ve seen just at the end of the render. Since I think that you will have a view correction notes I will change it with the next run.

    is it over siced?

  • KnittingmommyKnittingmommy Posts: 8,191

    @harrykim  Your image looks pretty close.  The only thing I really see that glares out at me is that his head and neck aren't quite aligned like the reference.  I think your male's neck and head need to be a little straighter, it's a little too far forward.

    Could you please fix the size of your images so that they are 800 px wide or less?  They like the images in the forums to be no wider than 800.  Thanks.

    So, I made a new one and hope that the size is correct now. I also made a view changes, ...  the ni..ple issue is solved ;-)

    I think her right arm needs to be adjustet and his left leg too. Probably I have  solved already the head position of the male character, but I think her head needs to be bent also a bit more. But this is for tomorrow :)

    I agree about her right arm.  It may look relaxed in the reference image but she is using it for balance.  Her is not haning straight down but is at a slight angle.

    I agree about his left leg.  It looks like it needs to be rotated out slightly to me.

    His right arm is a little too low on her torso.  In the reference image he is holding her a bit higher on her torso...or maybe that is a difference in scale between the figures in the reference image and your models.

    You did a really good job on this pose.

    Alrighty, so now I've made the sole of the left foot a bit more visible.

    I see one thing. Where her right foot meets her right arm, it should be the toe area that touches instead of the heel area. You have done a really good job on this @Aloreea. I am particularly impressed with the had posing.

    Tomorrow is the last day of this posing challenge. Based on the skill shown here by EVERYONE, you would think this was an advanced user challenge instead of a new user challenge!

    Brilliant. My favourite.

    Now, I've moved her right arm to where it meets her right foot near her toes.

    That's a thing I've been wondering about. Your contact page lists UT, so Daz time == mountain daylight time?

    Anyhow, this should be my final version of this study (EDIT: I said that, then went back and changed things 3 times while in the process of posting this. Small changes, but still.)

    render mk3reference

    Patchnotes:

    -Fussed over her thumbs. I don't like their current state, but then, I don't think I can put my hands in the position the reference runner's are in. I think this is as close as I can get with G3F joints, but, on the other hand, I thought that a couple versions ago, too.

    -Changed her hair to add a bit of motion to the scene, to contrast with her pose.

    -Tilted her head a bit to be closer to the reference and ease her neck. Before, I had all of her neck joints at the stops. Now, they each have a little slack. This should be a little more comfortable for her, which is important, as I have no idea how long the race is going to keep her waiting.

    -Experimented with face pose controls. Specifically, Cheek Crease, Cheek Eye Flex, Cheek Flex, Nose Wrinkle, Nostrils Flare, and Eye Squint. Previously, I had just been using 45% Fierce, 45% Rage, and 15% Scream. The facial expression could use tuning (With the exception of Eyes Squint, I pushed all the controls named above to +/- 100% for quick results.), but I think it's closer than before. This is definitely an area I should have looked into sooner.

    One thing that this has taught me: I really like using limits when posing. Stuff gets a little weird when pushing beyond them. Moreover, most of the time I've pushed a joint beyond the stock limits, the reference was in a position that I find somewhat painful approaching, nevermind actually achieving.

    TODOs that I probably won't do because Last Call's been called:

    -Widen her arms a bit and move her right foot more forward.

    -Ease her face. In particular, her brows shouldn't be so far down. Tilt her head back a little bit. It was too high before, now I think it's a little too low. She might need to open her mouth wider, but it's hard to tell til her head's at the right angle.

    Anyone have suggestions/comments?

    @rcbcgreenpanzer_bafa8f91a7 nice tweaks! Those thumbs look very close now. I like the hair motion, too. Yes, Daz time is MDT, so we have about an hour left.
