Real Faces and Bodies for Juan Carlos 8

xyer0

Thanks, @maelwenn for giving us four interesting-looking, regular-guy males (with a couple of mysterious hunks thrown in for sales) that don't look samey even though they're all using the same skin! If I had two more packages at this quality, say for Nix 8 and Ashan 8, I'd be covered in my supporting actors / extras. Maybe Daz will commission you or buy them off you. It could happen.

I'm curious to know how those shapes look like without Juan Carlos. Or at least, what would be a good recommended substitute for Juan Carlos since I don't have him, as of this comment?

Artini

Agree, but Maelwenn was and is my favorite PA, so I am probably biased.

@MimicMolly Which Genesis 8 Core male(s) do you own?

@MimicMolly If you tell me a couple of favorites, I can try these morphs on them.

How about Ashan, Darius, Landon, Diego, and Edward?

@MimicMolly OK. I'll post what I get tonight.

I'd like to see that as well thanks xyer0.

I have Juan Carlos but I tried the morph for Andres on G8M, since everyone has him. Nice. The sliders are under the morph character's individual name. I found them after I applied the thumbnail. I am using Juan Carlos's skin and eye materials, but he looked fine with the default mats too.

I liked the Andres-only render that @memcneil70 did, that I decided to get this set anyway, because I've been wanting a male Maelwenn character for so long. I found that you really do need Juan Carlos 8 to use them, especially with Lucio and Marcus.

I like to mix characters, so I don't mind. Though I plan to get Juan Carlos one of these days because he looks very different than the other bases I thought would be good substitutes. Might experiment using the head shapes at lower percentages. (I used Lee 8's skin with some other character's shading presets that I should've tweaked more, but I wanted to show off the shapes.) I haven't tried the bodies yet, but I think they'd work out okay.

@MimicMolly @DarkStarr42 Here's Ashan, Darius, & Diego (I pre-empted Edward & Landon since you've already purchased Real Faces)

Ashan 8 (Tjark Short Hair)- Andres, Eduardo, Jules, Lucio, Marcus, Matias

Darius 8 (Stylish Hair)- Andres, Eduardo, Jules, Lucio, Marcus, Matias

Diego 8 (Carlos Hair)- Andres, Eduardo, Jules, Lucio, Marcus, Matias

@xyer0 Thank you. I like all these mixes. They all look so different.

@MimicMolly It was my pleasure. I was impressed. Diego 8 borders on the toonish; so, I could see dialing him back to 80%. The only clipping I saw was in Darius 8's eyelid/eyeball with Lucio.

If maelwenn gives us one more pack with different personalities than these, then I'll have what I need, because I find it very difficult to get this level of real personality without turning into caricature.
