Mad Respect for SickleYield but Her Invisible Man Made Me Chuckle

All anyone who wants to use an invisible man for a character need do is pose a single character interacting with nothing. Otherwise, the only thing her new product is useful for is posing a second character wearing the suit with the cloaking effect either disabled, revealed with the included substances, or glitching.

Yes... I think that's the point...
The product is mostly about a range of ways in which an invisible character is (inadvertently) revealed to be in the scene... which, if you want an invisible character, is a very common theme in said stories.
(And frankly, the glitch effects would be pretty useful for renders of a stealthed character "decloaking". I could see that making a nice sci-fi assassin render of a figure coalescing out of the shadows).
Just wondering if this could be used to create a ghost-like figure for a scene. Applying the shaders to a realistic character, not the floating white sheet type of ghost!

I think in your rush to joke, you meant to say - show an OBJECT being manipulated WITHOUT a figure in the scene doing it.

This.
Mad Respect for SickleYield but
I don't know if suggesting a FREE alternative method and also suggesting a product is limited in scope constitutes mad respect.

I would rather see this than all the transparent stuff that people have been using to show this effect for decades now.
That actually looks creppy.
Thinking about using this in the reverse, where the suit is what's damaged and breaking "off" and there's no transparency involved.
Looks great as a battle damaged space suit- thingy.
Might be good for a character heavily covered in blood.
A holographic display that, for once, allows the character to move around.
Well, She can thank you for another sale, I was going to pass based on the description alone (don't need invisibility) but thinking about it yields (no pun intended) so many more uses.
I think it's cool and clever.
Of course noone needs a special character to show an invisible character while they are invisible. Noone stated otherwise.
SickYield's product is great. I can see a miriad of ways to use it.
Nope, one character interacting with invisible character was the first thing that came to mind when I saw the product and that's what I meant. :)
Hey, more power to anyone who can use it and kudos to her for inspiring them. I was more humored by the notion of a product designed to create an invisible man.
I stand corrected.
If ghosts were visible ghost hunters would be non-existent. If ghosts were visible it certainly would not be more than a very undistinguishable translucent haze. I did a ton of research for a fictional book I wrote and made up a bunch of 'facts' but ghosts are undoubtedly invisible to most people, excluding Haley Joel Osment and Bruce Willis.
I had to read your post like ten times before it even began to make a bit of sense.
Mad respect.
The point of an invisible person in a scene, is, that you can see that the person is there, without exactlly seeing the person. I think Sickleyields Invisible Man is a great way to accomplish that.
Other means would be, to turn a character completely transparent, but act as a volumetric object, meaning light would travel differently inside the body than it would outside.
Yet another option would be, to render the character seperately, and use the result as a mask on top of the rest of the image in photoshop or something like that, and use your favourite filter or other adjustment to make it somewhat visible. The best technique depends on what you try to accomplish, and this product covers one such technique.
I don't know what to say.
14 years ago, while using DS 1.2 or something similar (think I wasn't using Poser 4 by then) I came up with an image called 'Maid of Glass' that may/may not violate the TOS here (don't want to test it) and it's still up on Rendo here: https://www.renderosity.com/mod/gallery/maid-of-glass/1287637/?p&ca . Used, in modern DS parlance which I was unaware of at the time, a refraction shader without a skin texture. Same could be done for a near invisible person still.
Great product. This has to be inspired by the new movie The Invisible Man.
Thank you! I saw it twice in theaters and will soon own it on bluray. :D I didn't rip off their suit design, because 1. that's wrong and 2. it's not great for rendering of our type anyhow, but I've always had a recurring nightmare of being stalked by invisible or near-invisible people. Those are the worst parts of Hollow Man to me, too. The look of paint or dust falling on something that can't otherwise be seen just makes my stomach drop, and I wanted to share that paranoia with people. It's done well for sales so far!
A quick use of @SickleYield's new Invisible product:
Very cool. Nicely done.
Oh very cool :)
