  • Someone asked to see Zenogirl without Zelara, here's a side by side of them. She looks just fine without Zelara and take other character morphs just fine.

    and if you have the right morphs you can make her breastless and head/face more alien like

    i wish there was a way to get rid of the "human" face ... 

    The plan was to add a second morph for the face, however I ran into technical problems and time constraints. We're only given so much time to produce products for Daz figures.

    Anyway, here's the proof that I tried to make it happen, unfortunately, it wasn't meant to be.

     

    she's pretty cool Josh

    she's pretty cool Josh, had a basic play and used a no breast morph and a few creature face morphs works well

    Just curious, why does a otherwise non-mammalian alien need mammalian breasts? Are they that difficult to model out?

    +1

    Seems they have stomach buttons and (gens?) other parts; weird, mamalian aliens. But I suppose it gives maximum options for folks.

    I passed on this; some really great products, but would have preferred the human face to be missing entirely. I'll wait till much cheaper as no realy requirement, other than some great products and does look good - nice and different too.

     I don't usually get pro bundles any more as most of the time more than half of it I won't use.  I loved when DAZ allows us to create out own bundle, I hope that they adopt that eventually as a regular option.  

    Same here. It's also difficult for DAZ to track which items in a bundle it is that people actually want, meaning they may keep buying up and pushing the same unwanted stuff into their bundles. With single purchases or BYOB they can track exactly what it is that people want, so that vendors will focus on producing more of that rather than the less wanted stuff.

    but why? Lee -4-5-6-7 ... 
    and a lot of XXX character --- 4-5-6-7 ... why another for 8? 
    Prefer different. come on creators. Create different. 
    Zelara 8 sort of different at least. 

    i don't care if he's called Lee 8, or Cheng 707, Liu XYZ or whatever - what i meant is no "official" G8M Asian male - except EJ Hiroshi and Masao, who is NOT a main daz figure. and having Lee 1-2-3-4-5-6-7 doesn't mean they have the bends, articulations and mesh advantages of the G8 version...

    Zelara might be super interesting - but whatever, another caucasian chick.

    There's a dial that dials them out.

    The Lovely Trio.

    Well done Daz3D and all involved artists.

    For the first time, I had no hesitations to purchase the item made by Josh Crockett.

    Also if you just dial in Zelara or load the Zelara Preset you don't get the indentations.

    I bought her, but downloading is going slowwww. I wonder if a lot of people purchased stuff and everyone is downloading at once. Usually my connection is a bit slow but seems fine today on other sites.

    She's really awesome, and with my long sci-fi wishlist, a very good deal as well. Still looking for a decent Asari though, I have a couple Asari morphs, but I'm extremely picky regarding those headfolds, and for the one actually good Asari headpiece I have, I don't have a matching skin... Can't Daz Productions strike some deal with EA to become their "official" fan-art resource distributor?

    thanks for the effort :) Perhaps a future add-on product/expansion

    I loaded in the human version but still got indentations and cannot find the dial to dial them out. Where are they located? I have a lot of morphs and characters and when I search for Zelara, I just get the main one under Actor/Head/People/Real World which s the one with the indentations. Nothing under Fantasy Scifi for her and I can't find the dial to remove the indentations...

    Those look a little like compression artifacts in your render.  Apologies if you've already checked this, but if you go to Render Settings -> Advanced, make sure you've got your medium and high thresholds turned up to match the scale of the texture (which is probably 4096x4096 or larger).

    Whe I load the human preset from characters there are no indents, not sure why yours is loading in with them. To dial thhem out with the figure selected under actor you should find a Zelara Alien HD details dial turn that to 0.

    Ah, thanks, I was looking under Head instead of the full actor. But I did load the human version from Smart Content and it had indentations. Maybe the icons were switched in Smart Content? After I'm done with a current render, I'll check again.

    Thanks, I'll have to check that out. I bump up all the render settings (Max Samples, Render Quality) but never knew about that in advanced settings!

    Very cool :)

  • Thanks for showing her with clothes, Artini. I was wondering if it would be hard to clothe her. 

    And yes, she is lovely. A beautiful sculpt and a very nice render !

    I'm really liking this character. It was pretty hard to pick out the addons for her too, there was just so much cool stuff! I really really hope there is a male version for her with as much epic characters, outfits, and just all around sweet stuff! I can be patient for him though, because there's just so many things that came with or for Zelara it's going to take me ages just to look at everything! Here's a boring one of her, I used DivaMakeUp's amazing Altern8 one her. She's just so beautiful, I really think this is my favorite base character to come out yet!

    maybe a free addon or something.

    Sorry to take so long to answer, I've been out and about doing drone photography(!).  I used the head ridge morph to remove the skin ripples, but the big bony plate had to be done in Photoshop, or at least I couldn't find a way to turn it off, even in shaders/Cut Opactity=0. It appears to be one big unit. Shame, really.  Attached is a visual aid in case anyone else has trouble finding where to turn it off, or back on.  I had better luck finding it by simply typing "Aureska" in the search field above the Scene/Paramters window as seen in the image.  I rendered two images, one of Zelara and then one with Aureska's head tails anatomy add on and used Photoshop to mask out the boney bits.

    I also did a test with Aureska's matching skin. I like the human/alien mix (the first image I posted of her) better.

    What would it take to make this happen? This is incredible looking, and it would be a travesty to leave this unfinished.

    If time is an issue, then how about turning it into its own expansion addon? A paid add on in the future would be great, like the next time they do a sci-fi themed sale, this could be one of the headliner items. And being a paid add on, it could offer additional colors and extras. Xenogirl Expansion. New colors, new spiky options, ect. The customers would get this cool extra, and you'd get compensated rather than working to finish it for free. Everybody is happy.
