    I like that Mantis!  

    I've been away playing Neir on Xbox...either 3D or Gaming, don't have timefor both. cheeky  Gaming is winning right now, but took a timeout for this one!

     

  • @3dOutlaw Absolutely gorgeous!

    She looks good.  Not as sure as I used to be on Marvel heros any more.  Have a rather large comic collection in storage lol.  Just got tired of all the reboots and stopped collecting.  I might flatten the antenna a little and perhaps end in a point but it looks like you nailed her. 

    Thank you. I'll have to play with the anatna some more.

    I like the blue/grey best.  White hair gives her a cool snowy style, and it matches the ears better too! wink

    I am still playing games... yes

  • I am partial to the blue as well but it is a color I tend to over use as it is my favorite lol.  They are all the same character.  Just been updating the character preset I did for my innocence renders. Yes including the one that got me in trouble with the nudity rules lol.   I have kind of have her a little more flashy in human form Because it is more like camoflage. I just wish Littlefox had done a twintail that matched up with her D4M Faith hair which is my primary anime hair of choice.

    I put the odds at so close to zero it is zero.   Go look at Daz's tendency to put out a matching figure almost immediately after the release of one .  Didn't happen here.  look at Sasuke as being as close as we are going to get.  If Daz had planned a male they would not have released him instead.  Most of us have already kitbashed up credible male alternatives that we really haven't pushed all that hard in this niche.  To paraphrase from a recent conversation with Sickleyield over on DA..  only squinty eyed cowboy types sell ... lol

    I’m still waiting and hoping. Because this was a buyout, it could still happen that Rarestone herself makes a stylistically similar boy.

    We can hope. Didn't say the odds were completelt zero  but that was a very interesting conversation with Sickleyield.  I have understood the dynamics of sales here but she did some fine tuning on that understanding.  Muwawya over at rendo just put out a new anime male to go with his female btw.  For a first effort that made it to the store it isn't badly done.  Like his clothing products they will get better with time.

    Muwawya has a very good grasp on one particular variant of Anime style. What it looks like to me is that he has finally released his promo characters. Because he's been using what look like exactly those characters in his promos for the last couple of years. I'm very pleased to see that he released them for both G3 and G8 (G8 had't come out when he released his first products, I think.)

    They have much the same attraction as A3 and H3, although I think they are from a different Anime source (not surprising, since it's been over a decade since A3 and H3 were released).

    He started with stuff for Genesis 2  and yes I kind of recognize the style as well  but for the life of me I can't name it.  I was glad he put them out truthfully and generally do buy his stuff as it comes out since it is a great source for kitbashing.  Throwing a little Sakura into both did a nice job of adjusting them to something a little older to play with.  Spent part of my day off  seeing just what I could do with them.

    I am thinking hard about Ayumu. He isn’t the anime boy I want but he might be a good mixer for getting there...

  • I am thinking hard about Ayumu. He isn’t the anime boy I want but he might be a good mixer for getting there...

    Yoko isn't that bad either. Warning though they are actually shorter than Sakura and Sasuke.  I had to scale the figure up in that render in the other thread.

    You must configured iRay Renderer Environment section 'Draw Ground' off and No Background or HRDI or other Scene models either but you can see the shadows on the character itself.

  • Tried all that and still not casting shadows on ground oddly enough.

    I really like both Ayumu and Yoko, but I don't think they match stylistically to Sakura. I wish we could use her eyes for male characters.

  • Nice renders.  They don't  but blended with Sakura they do nicely. Nice renders btw.  Pretty good for softening Sakura's sharp edges for those that want a slightly softer look.

    Daz just scored a first.   They put a pro bundle that had absolutely nothing in the add ons or the bundles that I wanted..  Well actually they did when I logged in  this morning but then deleted the ones I would have been willing to fork out funds  for .   Sorry for the rant.   Back on topic.  Ok got Ayumu to transfer over to Sakura/Sasuke.

    Told myself to stop buying and use what you have!  cheeky  I found an outfit I don't recall using, and a HDRI Haven background I've never used and just went with it!  Next I'll try to make 3 similar but different characters...group shot.  My own personal challenge wink  All these cat  fox girls make me feel like I need a little variety!

    Super! I can't get HRDIs to work for me so well.

    She doesn't mix particullarly well with other morphs mainly due to the eyes.

    I can't seem to find a way to add the eyebrows lashes and eyes seperately only by loading the full preset. When I loaded a Sakura Preset in and unfitted and unparented the eybrows and then fitted them to a G8F base  they don't follow the morphs.

    LashLower A Length - doesn't appear to do anything (however far I push the dials)

    The extra morphs that she comes with though are rather useful which is why I'm keeping her, if it wasn't for these she would be very limited.

    The Eye Scales morph changes the size of the Irises and the Iris Scales Morph increases the size of the pupils.

    I have mixed her here but had to scale the eyes (not Sakura's to fit the sockets) the texture and eye texture is from the Toon generations. There was a lot of fiddling to get things to work, the eyebrows are only parented.

     

    Love the pick.   What is the outfit and where can I find it?

    I bought this.

    but as it is all one piece & I want to do Speed Racer scene so it doesn't work.

    So, since I only want to generally be similar enough I am using this product's kerchief instead:

    I also considered the chef uniform

    Over at Rendo there was both a Civil War uniform and a Boy Scout uniform I had wishlisted but the have been removed from Renderosity Store for whatever reason.

    I've been looking for solutions to the facial expressions for the Sakura8 models but I have not found anything very significant. Does anyone know of any way to make facial expressions work better on these models?

    One problem is that the expressions tend to move all the muscles of the face in a realistic way, and the result does not look good on stylized models (by the way, I'd say it's a bit creepy). I believe that in the case of the Sakura 8 models, it would be more appropriate if only the shape of the eyes and mouth could be modified without there being a significant change in the rest of the face.

    I found some packages of expressions in the store (for example, one called "anime expressions"), but they have these same problems of modifying the whole facial structure, making the models look a bit ugly and scary.

    If anyone has information on this and ways to solve the problem, I would appreciate it.

    Bye.

    The one from Rendo is the one I had for  Genesis.  Now did you go look in the surface tabs and see if the kerchief maybe a separate material zone on the Genesis 8 scout uniform?  You could possible turm of the opacity to rest of outfit and just leave the kerchief showing. Cumbersome I know but it might work.

    Thanks, but it make more sense for me to use the cowboy's bandana than do that. I kept the scout uniform though as it was a good modeling job & I got it less than $5.
