Oops! My bad. In tht case, thanks to the whole mod team for getting on board.
tangled on gianni was my plan
Cool! I have an idea or two. I take it that a minimal amount of post processing (levels, saturation) will be permitted?
We have no objection to Postwork, as long as the repurposing element is clear (if used)
Does it count as 'male' if you start with G2F and use GenX2 morphs to move the figure to male? (I've been doing this to ensure female clothing fits properly)
NO not for this challenge. We state Male Humanoid figure. Only repurposing is to be done on the clothing item, not the figure.
EDITED TO ADD: Sorry - I guess I have to withdraw this. I missed the post that said not to post entries anywhere offsite.
Entry #1:
Dancing with Darius6 & some face customization. "Triptych Fantastique" (full Ultra HD res images are available)
"Escape from Calypso"
Carrara 8.5 Pro
Michael 4, with Realistic Seas by PhilW, the Everyman Hair and Men Only stubble by Naomi, Castaway Dinghy by Art Collaborations, Blade Maiden Skirt by Bobbie25 and Guari, Cheerleader panties for G2F by Sarsa Val3dart .
Repurpose -
a) The Blade Maiden skirt - I turned it into a loin cloth for Ulysses. I parented the skirt to M4hip, then matched the poses and morphed in Carrara's vertex modeler. I created transparency Mats to create jagged edges.
b) Cheerleader panties for G2F - It is the sail. I created transparency Mats for the dinghy sail, then replaced the sail with the panties. I scaled them up, created a transparency Mat to eliminate one side, then used the vertex modeler to fit the panties to the mast and the boom. (You know, a goddess might have some big panties lying around).
What causes men to go weak at the knees? A Hot Chick of Course!

Using panties as a sail! I like that! Quite innovative!
Edit: Besides, as a sail they look better than as panties.
Really love yours Alex. I love images of males in dance. So graceful and HUMAN! lol
I just added a picture to the gallery as I practiced iRay stuff so I will add it here too... "Bud"
I can't imagine there is, but is there any restriction from posting the image elsewhere, too? (Like Deviantart) ((Working diligently, this 'clever idea' turned into constant tweaks and rerenders and discovering I can, in fact, get the project file so large it dumps to CPU, oooh))
I have no sympathy for you, Will... not when everything I render is CPU only... lol
Welcome to the slow side of Iray...
I'm sorry. I'm so, so sorry...

The Battle
When I asked Chohole said that they want the images kept within Daz.
Argh. That wasn't in the rules - it was in one of the later thread posts and I completely missed it and posted mine elsewhere after I posted it here. Guess I have to remove mine from consideration then.
Can things like that please be added to the first post as part of the rules so that others don't miss it too?
This was the actual post. I did add that we would rather it stayed at Daz, but we are trying not to be too mandatory.
I meant mainly whether I can put it up on Deviantart, which is my main location for saving my artwork. In my case, storage, rather than other contests.

So exactly what are the rules - can images be posted elsewhere or not, its the kinda thing that has to be mandatory its either yes or no.
Perhaps mandatory was not the xpression I was looking for, we don't want this to get bogged down with a whole list of rules. As I said before Richards reply covers it, and we wish to keep this a fun an friendly challenge, please.
Entry #1, The Travelers -- The Guest
Content:
Genesis with Wilmap loincloth, Zac hair, Unshaven for Genesis, Cyclops skin
Reptilian 6 (G2M : http://www.daz3d.com/reptilian-6-hd-for-genesis-2-male-s ) dialed about halfway in Regency outfit ( http://www.daz3d.com/regency-genesis-2-male ). Tea cup from ( http://www.daz3d.com/a-curious-tea-drink-me )
G2F with Reptilian 6 morphs transfered via GenX2 ( http://www.daz3d.com/genesis-generation-x2 ) in a Vintange Rose outfit ( http://www.daz3d.com/vintage-rose-for-genesis-2-females ) (yes, I know this doesn't qualify as 'male figure with female outfit')
Steamboat machine with some, er, creative textures ( http://www.daz3d.com/the-steamboat-machine )
Ocean wide, ocean texture redone a bit, skydome turned emissive with a spotlight adding 'sunlight.'
Liquid pack to make smokestack smoke and 'drive cloud.'
I think that covers it. ;)
(Hopefully entry #2 and #3 won't take a dozen rerenders to correct things. mutter)
okay finally got it to render, had to keep trying the render smaller and smaller, bit bummed about that. Thinking I may need to render without lights
but here is entry #1 (re-purposed)
Model: Genesis(1)
Scorching Black and Red -Armlets
Z_The_Twin_Blade -
Mr Rabbit -
Headkase - G_SensibleShoes2 -
Hongyu’s cowgirl4 - CG4 Jeans
Evilinnocence Night Slayers - V4 Rebel Shirt (I don't know how the texture came out like it did here, but leaving it)
Kozaburo - Short Hair evolution
Skin Texture - Emelie and Edward Odd - Emelie
Note: I'll edit in links as soon as I find them
Note II: for those that don't know, my machine can't render more then what I have, so I cannot do the nice scenes like others can do, but this challenge I figured I can enter with out an actual full scene
Entry #2: Whew. Another long render.
http://www.daz3d.com/robogenii skin applied to G2M with a bunch of adjustments.
http://www.daz3d.com/easy-snap-sci-fi-corridors converted to Iray (which worked surprisingly easily -- almost everything is just a simple application of Iray Uber shader, with the exception of the window, which I wanted reflective)
I just had a really evil thought: Would it be acceptable if I made a male character out of G3F and rendered that?
