Not my cup of tea but it's really great see his work done for DAZ Studio. He's got a great sense of style and imagination!

I've got the original for V4 but I'm going to pick this up to hopefully support more of his stuff in Daz Studio natively. I've used some of his sets in Studio just fine, at least for my artistically challenged views, but I'm far too lazy to convert over larger terrain sets. And I'm always hovering over the put in cart button for his modern building sets that are Poser only, but talk myself out of it and get something Daz native.
I agree though, Powerage has an amazing sense of style, even if you don't see using whatever he's made, you can't help but admire the work that went into it.
Is there a way to wishlist a vendor? While I have no interest in G3 stuff, his other items look intriguing.
Not my cup of tea either, but I can admire the detail in it, it really is impressive piece... However... All I see is....
You just don't understand warrior cultures. ;)
Yeah, the texturing and attention to detail really is magnificent! But it's far too exposed for a set of armour.
Well, it MAGIC armor. It's the kind that means you get protection without there being visible pieces to do so...
Besides, how can anyone expect to actually score a hit on something that looks like that...if the reflective boob cups (+3) don't blind you (save vs blindness -10), then just seeing that much flesh will surely do something...probably long enough that SHE will get that sharp pointy thing (hell, it could be a vorpal carrot) in to YOU.

He does love showing off the skin but he's done more mundane realistic stuff in the past too. If he would have done a nice second skin mail for this with a NO HEEL option for the boots I might have bought it but it's just too.... sexy and sorry, high heels for warrior women is just too bizzare for my tastes! lol BUT I do love his imagination, that's never waned.
ooh I see V4 one at Rendo is 50% off but I so do not need it
I think I would add a chain mail bodysuit myself which actually would make it quite respectable, great idea Wolfie, I have some textures for V4 at least inc a chainmail suit another reason V7 will stay unbought for me
and damn I just bought the V4 one
sorry DAZ I cannot use G3F in Carrara
Yes. I see that on MOST female (and some male) armor sets, too. All the time! However, as Wendy pointed out - a decent chainmail underneath and some kit-bashing with other sets would make it quite appropriate for it's genre. :)
LOL. Nice to see the excess skin discussed and explained.
I've never bought an outfit meant for such purposes with heals; it just seems so silly.
LOL Oh my, but I suppose it could be distracting; however, I feel the truly skilled warrior would not be distracted.
But considering the quality, a vendor to keep an eye on... for sure.
I've never understood the problem people have with under armoured females. There are thousands of years of history of males going into battle skyclad or partially armoured most Gallic warriors had no problem showing their midriff and For most of the time Hopolites were fighting they did it with all their bits hanging out. Nobody suggests Connan should put more on, that Sláine is underdressed or perhaps Heracles should consider donning more than a lion skin, all wear far less than Red Sonja but it's her chain bikini people have problems with. Its fantasy any way. It you really wanted protecting you'd wear a great big thick gambeson like this.
You want thick padding before you want metal. Maybe stick some sort of metal armour over the top. Not that we have any idea how female harness was made or how it would have fitted because there just aren't any examples of it. Its all made up so the fact fiction dosen't match up with reality is an odd complaint.
Nothing about this fantasy armour is practical or useful so why pick on just one bit? The whole bare midriff has become something of a cliche but maybe it makes sense if you happen to have a great big shield like a hopolite or confidence in your gods or own ability? I guess it's probably just ceremonial anyway.
I've never bought an outfit meant for such purposes with heals; it just seems so silly.
Guess what. The first high heels made for male soldiers to wear into battle, no word of a lie.
I think it would come with the "weapons developed" time you are placing your character in. Also, what could be financially afforded by the character is important. Chainmail, for most of the time, was very expensive, to the point that it was given from father to son. The same goes for other types of armor. Most people simply couldn't afford much protection, and when weapons were developed that pierced the up to that point, protective armor, you could as well go without and increase your mobility, instead of carrying heavy weight that would not help you anyway....
(Though, high heels and "flutsch away" breast coverage for females is not really useful in regular army's book. The heels are not practical, unless you want to use them as hidden weapon, and the Flutsch breastcover would just make you distacted in pulling and stuffing things back into place. You could better go bare-chested then.)
He also re-used that joke a second time:

Now I start understanding why it is called "comic strips"...
Having a very basic set of modeling skills I can really appreciate what goes into making something like this.It's a work of art, it's imagination brought to life in some way. I see stuff like this and it inspires me to learn more about modeling.
looks like a good outfit for a final fantasy style render but don't think there are anything along these sort of style for male characters yet maybe someone can make something like that for the guys as well as the girls or something that gives you different options with seriates like only one shoulder pad choice of left or right, belts - lots of belts including harnesses, addons - spikes, chains extra, basically something you can kit bash different styles with as much or less of as you want to create characters like in a lot of the 80's style movies like Mad Max, and other stuff like Conan, Slaiine, Judge Dredd and other futuristic British comics like 2000 ad, Final Fantasy games and their like, He-Man (were talking on a thread here on creating renders), Xena/Hercules, Warhammer/W40,000, there's a bunch of others could list
plan on getting this just watching ny budget and seeing what other stuff want need first
When possible, historical warriors wore armor. And Hoplites only had 'bits hanging out' if you mean they wore battle skirts (which is handy if you really have to pee on the battlefield)
The 300 isn't exactly a bastion of historical accuracy, they looked like:
No I mean for most of the period in which Hopolite fought the majority did it as naked as the day they were born. A very heavy bronze helmet, a massive bronze shield, possibly with a leather or linen curtain attached to the bottom and bronze greaves. Anything more was for the flash gits who could afford more. For your average citizen soldier the 300 is probably closer than your picture.
These discussions always help me identify everyone who's just no fun. ;)
Plate armor is HEAVY and it really limits your movement. Bones can still be broken if if you're hit in the arm with a weapon, and from what I understand, you're pretty screwed if you fall down near enemies in full plate with no allies to help you up. I've seen videos of longbows piercing metal armor (and going through leather armor like it's paper), and light armor will offer little protection against a sword thrust or axe to the torso.
Like Mr. Miyagi said: "best block, no be there".
Not to mention the perils of falling into deep water whilst wearing full plate armour
Some of the experts belive that from the war of the roses onwards the really heavily armoured guys had a team of men behind them keeping anyone form tripping them up or pushing them over, meanwhile they were the 15C tanks plowing through everyone in front with their pole axes.
That said I've seen a man in full 15C harness do forward rolls and cartwheels.
The main problem we have with female armour is, we don't know how it should look. None was ever made for war, male armour hangs wrong on a woman and the weight is carried wrong. Modern, "reincators", have done what they think is right but without taking it out on campaign and seeing how it works and protects their guess is just the best of a clueless bunch.
That does mean fantasy armour can look however you like of course, bare midriffs maty well be a symptom of the male gaze but it doesn't make them impractical.
I understand legs and arms being exposed but the chest/breast area fully open is kinda .... not good. lol
"oh look, target practice"
How is bare skin not impractical unless forced? Heck, just bumping into stuff, there's a scratch that can turn septic.
It's particularly silly to have most of the chest and midriff bare and then have metal breast cups .
Granted, magic is maaaagic. WOOOOOOMB
(Scarred Lands setting had a fun conceit that casting magic generates heat, so wizards and sorceresses avoided wearing much or they'd overheat)
look at it this way why do women wear bras? plus certain parts have to covered up somehow so we can post renders here and some other sites
Target practice or a reason to run very fast?
I'll brush aside this bare midriff like, well no I won't I'll run again thankyou.
Nope still running.
Don't they know their sitting ducks without some chain on their tummies.
Won't somebody tell those Romans their depiction of their mortal enemy is just unrealistic! (OK its a copy of an older greek statue but the greeks knew the Gales just as well as the Romans.)
