    Hmm, maybe you could try to get that look with the face morphs for G3M. I don't know, I only have the body morph pack.

    Thanks Sorel! I will keep that in mind for the next time : )

    I really wish there were some sort of flex JCMs, I tried to put him into a muscle flex pose, but it just does not look right since the muscle isn't really there : D

    Flex JCM: http://www.daz3d.com/musculature-hd-morphs-for-genesis-3-male-s

    When I saw that product I wondered why the different morph projects seem to get farmed out to different vendors.  It was the first muscularity set that I didn't buy because I was less than impressed with the detail. Perhaps it is that the morphs look exaggerated and unrefined when singled out, or that they are emphasized for the promos... but I was disappointed enough (and with my past experiences with the artist) that I did not buy it and probably won't until I am somehow convinced that it is better than it appears.

    30% Dialed for the muscle flex, only, otherwise stock Gianni.

    30%... of what? All Muscularity? Its hard to tell, since I haven't "seen" Gianni with my own eyes yet. This is not argumentative, just clarifying. That tricep looks a little..exagerated. And shouldn't you be trying to solve my database problems, so I have a reason to buy more stuff? :)

    Greetings,

    Man...I picked the wrong time to be broke. :(

    I love the Adam hair and for whatever reason, Gray really hits the sweet spot for me.

    I didn't get Egypt or Gia because I was also broke, so it cascades... :-/

    The only saving grace is that 60 days from now is March 26th, so maybe at the very end of March Madness there'll be a sale where I can take advantage of Gianni.

    ...wait, that came out wrong :) ...

    Those are absolutely fantastic renders toyen!!

     

    And personally I find Gianni 7 the most aesthetically pleasing guy since David 5. And I don't even like muscles (hence my love for David)

    The product I linked has two full body settings, one increases muscle volume, the other turns on flex JCM for all the muscle groups, (There are quite a few other dials for individual muscle groups.) The JCM one i dialed to 30%.

    Shouldn't that be: "I don't like men with too many muscles."?

    There should have been a David 6. We got shafted.

  • Thanks Toyen -- I prefer Gianni's squarer face, but as Barbult mentioned previously, his nipples sure are pushed way over to the side! One of those things that once you see it, you can't un-see it. smiley

    What's wrong with his nipples? Lots of men have niplles that sit more to the side, and/or lower. Take Hugh Jackman, for example.

    Here they are, both out of the box.

    Rendered in DS 4.9 with no post-work.

    I love them both but I love Gianni just a little bit more : )))

    So what do you guys think?

    It really helps to see those guys side-by-side. Gianni is more buff than his promos suggest, in part because he is just "bigger" all around. He is thick-waisted, though, so there isn't as much difference between his shoulders and his waist as there is with M7. That explains why he doesn't look as buff as I expected, (expectations based on G6 and how buff he is compared to M6.) However, it seems to me using morphs to make things "bigger" generally produces a better results than morphs to make things smaller, so perhaps it is better doesn't start out looking more like the Freak than Michael.

    Based on the promos, I thought G7's face looked a lot like M7, but your image shows there is significant differences between the two. It's hard to tell from your image, but the hairs of their eyebrows do look remarkably similar. That may be part of why seeing G7 in the promos leaves us feeling like he looks so much like M7.

    I'll definitely be buying the base figure. But like Morgan, it will probably be in the last days of March Madness, if not later, due to finances.

    The clothing is very niche and not too useful and all the guys are clean shaven and remind me of Michael 7. I need some beard stubble. If that is included I'd be grateful to know. Nevertheless I will probably buy pro. I just need the unshaven more rugged mature dude look.

    I'm not buying encrypted stuff unless it is free with purchase.

    I agree, the clothing is all niche. There isn't any clothing in the bundles I'd have a reason to use for anything but playing around.  I want/need more contemporary clothing options.

    And I emphatically agree about the encrypted products, especially as I'm not planning on updating to 4.9 in the foreseeable future..

    I'm sure I read somewhere that Mec4d unshaven for g2 was pretty successful on g3 as well?

    I've had good results using it on M7/Leo7/G3M. With my last render, (M7 wearing Dragon Queen!) I did notice some of the mouth morphs didn't affect the mustache. I had the same issue with Unshaven for Genesis when auto-fit to G2M, but I found if you auto-fit to none, then back again to G2M, the beard/mustache conforms to the morphed face. I assume the same is true for Unshaven 2 and G3M. (I got sidetracked and forgot to try it, but the render was just for fun, so I didn't want to spend a lot more time on it.)

    I don't know yet if I should get him... still not convinvced...

    Gianni7 looks better than on the promo pics. He is not our beloved Gianni6 (it seems that everybody liked him - including myself), but a fine male character.

    Yes it does! Nice renders you have there cade : )

  • Ooooooh, I like this. I got -and still get- good use out of Gianni 6, so when I get reupped, I'll def. have to get him.

    I will just note that if Daz responded in a snit, "I didn't make him for YOU," there would be at the least a conflict of interest!

    We didn't get a David 6 because David 5 tanked. Of course, David 5 tanked because he was released one month before the release of Genesis 2 and everyone knew it was coming, nobody knew what that meant, and nobody wanted to commit to the last figure of a generation that soon before the next. Add in the lower market for male stuff generally, and David was pretty comprehensively doomed.

  • ToyenToyen Posts: 2,029

    Whoever is the next male figure.......I just hope it's not Cory......that one still terrifies me : )

  • GoggerGogger Posts: 2,485

    I really like the EXO Suit so that got my attention straight away and with all my discounts applied I couldn't pass it up. Here's my first render with him and I am happy!  

    Render details: DAZ Studio 4.9, Iray (about a half hour, with a little more to go, but stopped early) using OOT Dramatic Iray Lights and postworked in Photoshop with a bokeh photograph that I shot the other night of the American Flag in a snowstorm at the Post Office here in town at 1 in the morning.  The beard is the Leandros beard from the Leo 7 bundle.

    There was so much antici......pation of G2 that poor David wasn't given much horsebrutality from the fans.

    @gogger Nice! the expression looks really natural.

     

    One last one for me

     

    Will Qain hair never not be my favorite hair? (the answer is no)

    Hm, nooo, I really liked Gianni 6, 7 looks nothing like him. I see a trand that not only the girsl look all the same, it has infected the men as well. Pity!

    I agree with this.  Not terribly interested.

    If I was making a bet, I would guess Febuary will be a female only month, maybe Isabella 7, or a 2 girl month if Girl 7 arrives as well. In March or April maybe Teen Julie 7 (and one would assume Teen Justin would come with her, but with a bundle, rather than starter and pro bundles, or both teens "bundled" into a single bundle).

  • Kev914Kev914 Posts: 1,126

    What is octane? And who is Cory? And how do you know what figures are coming out?

  • ToyenToyen Posts: 2,029

    Havos, you might be right about that!

    Kevin, Octane is a pricey render engine, Cory is a character for Genesis 2 Male and we know Izabella, The Girl and possibly Teen Julie are coming out because we sometimes get a glimpse of what's next via listed morphs on some products in the store : )

  • MusclemanMuscleman Posts: 3,094

    Gianni 7 is awesome! I really like him!

  • HavosHavos Posts: 5,575

    Cory is also about the only really ugly base character (if you ignore the Minotaur and the Lizard), though there are some PA characters based on him which look a lot better

    So if I buy Giovanni 7 and some of the other items, is the only products that I have to install through Daz is the trenchcoat bundle? And if you buy the bundle, do you have to look for each product in the bundle and install them one by one? Or can you just install the bundle somehow like you can in DIM?

    Oh, and thanks for the explanation.

    From what I have seen nothing in the Gianni 7 bundles are encrypted so you can install them in DIM as you would do normally

  • I really like the nose shape wtih the flared nostrils..the eyes shape and cheeks & jaw...but dont like the brow width.

    the body shape and body details are better than the M7 ones...exp on the shoulders zone.

  • lx_2807502lx_2807502 Posts: 2,996

    I'm so confused about the whole Cory thing. I mean .. he didn't have a full bundle or anything but people talk about him like some sort of secret monstrosity and he just doesn't seem that? At least there was finally a toon to mirror Callie/Girl?

    Thank you Vwrangler for getting the joke.

    For a while there I thought I was completely lost in a cultural wasteland.
