Middle aged male

Hi All,

I see a couple of good options for middle/old aged females, but im looking for some options for middle aged males (50ish). Looking at all the current G3 male people, there are none. And i have found http://www.daz3d.com/peter-for-genesis-2-male-s to be the only suitable option in the g2 range

Anyone else have any suggestions? maybe something at rendo? im wanting something quite realistic. with displacement or normals to get the wrinkled look, or at least very good bump maps. G3 preferably, but looks like that may not be an option yet

And on that note, we have the 'growing up' skin packs, something similar for adult through to old age would be a well liked product i would imagine. Or what about some sort of overlay system using the LIE, that could slightly alter existing textures to help simulate older age? that conbined with a set of older age normal maps would work well i think. Or would overlays that alter existing skin resources not be legal under those product licenses? just throwing ideas around

    I find Zev0's Aging products for Genesis 2 invaluable for adding dimension and character to figures. I assume Zev0 is working on a version for Genesis 3.

    Skin Overlay is also great for adding fine age details to skins, and I KNOW Zev0 has stated work on an updated version.

     

    As for actual figures with such things, there's George 7, Survivors: Marius (which is G2M), and a bunch of other examples.

    Phoenix1966's store here and at Renderosity combined with Blacksmith3D's Texture Transformer and M4 to G3M Add-on Pack for TT (official names of products) @ Renderosity. Mind you, these are all M4 or Genesis 1. Also, Old Man Milo for M4, Old Man for M4, Eli for M4, Liam for M4, Lacombe for —all at Renderosity. Mortem Vetus also has some older characters for M4.

    For good male characters I make much use of M4 products, mostly by Mortem Vetus ex of RNDA. I either use them directly as M4, or save out the skin and re-import it into Genesis or G2M using the M4 UV option in the shader - this is quick and easy.

    There is an excellent V4/M4 skin convertor for IRay. Works a treat. See image below  - not my best, but you'll get the gist.

    I know you're looking for Genesis 3 male options, but I like this suggestion as I have converted most of my Mortem Vetus M4 maps over to G2M. I still prefer M4 over anything Genesis (old habits die hard) but the conversions look amazing as Valkeerie has shown. Mortem Vetus does an incredible job with their products...a person can do much with them.

    And timmins.william is spot on. I recently purchased Zev0's Aging Morphs for Genesis 2 Bundle and it is AWESOME! It adds so much variety and uniqueness to figures. I've used it only for G2M as I prefer to work with males. The morphs used in conjunction with 'older' or 'scruffy' male figure maps (Rolf, The Green Man, Daemones as an example) are quite nice.

    It's not quite the answer you're looking for, but I have to echo what other posters have said. There are many more DAZ options for middle-aged-or-older male characters (textures, hair, clothing) using the G2 or M4 base figures than there are for G3.

    If you want to use G3, then you can use this: http://www.daz3d.com/legacy-uvs-for-genesis-3-michael-4 to put those older M4 skins on to G3. However getting the morph of an older man onto G3 is much harder until GenX is updated to support Genesis 3.

    For G3M, at least until Zevo's Age Morphs are available or something else comes along -

    Mixing http://www.daz3d.com/fwsa-edgar-hd-for-michael-7

    with http://www.daz3d.com/george-hd-for-genesis-3-male-s

    and touches of http://www.daz3d.com/nosferatu-for-genesis-3-male

    then fine tuning with http://www.daz3d.com/genesis-3-male-head-morphs-22924

    gives a range of (white)men in their 50s.

    I keep meaning to use a low opacity geo-shell with a darker skin texture to see what results I can get but.....time. It runs.

     

    And as vwrangler pointed out in the "eyebrow" thread there is http://www.daz3d.com/wise-sensei-for-genesis-3-male-s which I missed as a G3M character as well as an outfit.
