I've posted some free stuff in a deviantArt journal, including a morph preset for my character (Smacky), a simple transparency map for the Eternal Outfit, some MATs for the Phoenix HD and Amaya for Genesis 3 textures sold here, and some various other surface settings for anyone who might be interested. Nothing too special, but maybe something will be useful. Just please read the readme and don't use any of it for commercial purposes.
Thanks for your interest. :)

Hurrayy!! Smacky! One of 3D's coolest characters!
Oh wow! Thanks. I love your Smacky character.
Thank you very much, I'm glad you like Smacky! I don't make renders often these days, so I thought I'd share this stuff in the hopes that others might enjoy it and perhaps make some images with her. If you have any questions or issues using the files, let me know.
What's a Smacky?
Haha, Smacky is the nickname for a character I made about 15 years ago and have used in a lot of renders. Her real name is Sahmika, her little childhood friend couldn't get her name right and it came out as "sah-mah-kee", thus the nickname. :)
Lovely character! Thank you for sharing her with us, SnowSultan! :)
She looks a little different than your DeviantArt images - does she require any additional morphs or anything?
That’s a lovely render @Divamakeup
Thank you @SnowSultan! This is really kind of you. As soon as I jump onto my computer I’m going to download her :-)
Thanks, and that's a very cute image! All of the morphs I use are listed in the readme (and there are a lot), so it's possible you don't have everything I use. You mainly need the essentials (head and body) and the 200 Plus set from DAZ to get the general look, and I personally use Girl 7's head for a cuter look. Links to all morphs used are in the readme as well.
Thanks Molly, I hope you can use her! :)
Ohhh Ok, I didn't realize there was that much to the Read Me - I didn't scroll down far enough. lol I don't have the 200 Plus set or the muscular morphs listed. That explains it. Still a very cute character - I like the mix of Aiko, Amaya, and Girl. :)
This Smacky straight out of the box on my system. I don't have the muscular or 200 morphs but I can try ModernWizard's morphs at some stage. I need to pick up more morphs for G3 :-)
She's great and I can definately see me using her in some of my renders ... thank you again, I love her!
Smacky picked up ModernWizard's morphs so I didn't need to adjust them :-)
Haha, I tend to put a lot of info into my readmes even though most people just gloss over them. :) Glad you're finding her useful!
Thank you, the render is cute! I'm happy to see that she still looks just fine if you don't have all the morphs I used. I was worried it would be a real mess and it wasn't something I could really test for.
Thank you very much!
Very nice render! Remember you can easily customize the Eternal Outfit with custom Iray shaders too. If I recall, the gold trim, the metal breast plates, and the cloth are all separate surfaces, so try applying the Iray default gold shader (or better yet, one of MEC4D's), metal for the plates, and a fancy fabric texture to the cloth surface for a more original look.
i was playing with her last night! Just love her shape. I don't have the 200 morphs product or the musculature one, but i have the rest. Her face doesn't look quite right here, she almost looks like a younger version of your Smacky. And oh boy, that Alicia hair....that was giving me fits, trying to get it look good in iray....still needs a LOT of fixing in this pic. But this is what I was playing with last night, before I work on her hair more. Not quite your girl, maybe more.. "inspired by" her?
(also the hair on the fallen demon looks like you-know-what, so I'll have to fix that too) - click for larger image.
Thanks SnowSultan for the character :) Awesome renders all!
That's fantastic! While it's not quite Smacky, as you said - "inspired by" and she looks quite cool! Excellent render, jakiblue!
Jaki, that is really close to my own version! :D Did you happen to see the Alicia settings I posted on that journal where you downloaded the files? They're nothing too special but might be useful. Also check the settings for the optional 'inner' afro in the readme if you want to fill it in a little more without postwork.
If you've posted that render on deviantArt, I'll go add it to my Smacky fanart favorites folder. :)
Thanks Chad, and thanks to everyone who's posted renders as well!
Well, I didn't have all the bits and bobs, including Amaya, but I did what I could with what I had. Here's my "facsimile". I know, it could use some postwork, right?
. Not necessarily on a par with other's work, and certainly not yours, SnowSultan, but hey, its 3Delight.
It looks good, thanks very much for sharing! If anyone who makes Smacky art posts them on their deviantArt page, let me know and I will add them to my Smacky Fanart favorites folder.
@snowsultan, added this one to my DA gallery so you can add it to your fanart faves if you wish (if.....it's a fave, that is... LOL)
Still a WIP - her left hand needs fixing, and I think the colour on her face is a bit dull and needs brightening up. But I'm getting somewhere... I think. LOL.
Click for larger image.
Wow, that's stunning @jakiblue
Great art Jakiblue, it's such an improvement! I'll check dA and FB shortly and add/link to it. Thanks!
Thanks :)
Very nice image RJGirl! I like that super-sized afro. :)
If anyone has any problems downloading the file, I might be moving it into a subfolder for better organization. I will check the links once it's moved and edit the original post with a fixed link if necessary. Thank you for continuing to share your renders!
