    I was thinking of getting CyberFit and Sakura with the Pro Bundle, but it doesn't seem to include anatomical elements, and I'm not a fan of incomplete textures.

    I guess I'll have to go with FaceIt and CyberFit too - Aiko's skin looks amazing but I still think her face is a bit weird.

    I thought just the opposite.  I like the face, but the skin looks a lityle greyish.

    Depends on the lighting (also never trust official promos for characters.) But there are so many different areas and subtle details in it which I really like.

    I did a big render to try show some of the detail (at least til it timed out at about 80% done) had to lower the quality a bit to get it to upload onto the site though.

    seems to me she is growing older with the years

    much to old for a Lolita

    Just to avoid making a whole new thread... my favourite thing about Aiko really is the characters that always seem to appear around her.

    It's fine, Raiya. I don't need to keep my money. Geez.

    I didn't read everyone's opinion of Aiko 7, but I see her as more of a Final Fantasy character than an anime one. 

    This was a WIP character and test/fun I made for Aiko 7 ages ago that I vaulted because I couldn't think of what to do with her :p Also, I accidentally did her on Aiko 7 UV's. Gah. :p

    give

    I saw the notification that you posted and immediately thought "okay I'll see what she says and I'm going to reply something about wanting to see what she would do with Aiko as a base because I love her ideas with characters" but I guess that isn't necessary now :p

    +1 THIS.

    Though the base Aiko 7 is a bit off.  I think the face is too long/narrow for its proportions.  I think this is why mixing with The Girl 7 seems to work so well, as the Girl 7 face morph is wider as well as stylized.

    I think we'll see a LOT of character morphs and skins for A7, just as we did with the prior Aiko bases.

    that really shows off the skin, thank you!

    What is that red mark near her eye tho?

    Have to admit, not incredibly impressed with the base Aiko 7 character, impressed with the Pro bundles content as a whole though and @OziChick Lolita and Sakura alone make the base character worth me having!

    Awwww im so glad you like them, thank you so much :)

    I'm not 100% sure.. I think it's because of Aiko's weird lacrimal shape (that render was of Natsuko+Josie so the eye shape was a bit different) but generally it hasn't been so noticeable. Might need to edit that part of the texture a little, but I love all the subtle details on the rest of the skin so much I'm fine with it. She really does need some better makeup options though.

    Aiko doesn't have to have her hair look exactly Miku's to make the reference. Nowadays any anime character with cyan-green hair in pigtails is an inspiration from the synthesized sensation. You wouldn't believe the OC's I've seen on DeviantART get mistaken for Miku fanart for having these features alone.

    Just managed to get this together. Love the outfit (although not the shoes.) Then again I hate heals.

    I dialed down the Aiko morph, and reduced the eye size in addition as  I just don't like the large eyes.

    I like the face with the eyes smaller, nice job. Any chance of another image without that hair, or less hair to see the face more.

    Thank you, and sure I'll post one later.

    Here's my expiriments with A7 rendered in Iray and tonemapped in PS with the lines rendered in blender and then composited. Blender does really nice toon lines. I could probably do smething toonier fully rendering in blender, but that takes more setup

    the other image is the straight Iray render, no blender no postwork etc. which is still pretty toony looking IMO


    Really like this. I particularly like how the line doesn't extend around the face; I really don't like it when it does, which seems to be the norm. You've faded it out, which really works.

    I was thinking about how people were saying Aiko looks great mixed with girl, so I decided to try a Silver edition.

    50% Ruby for Girl 7, 50% Natsuko for Aiko 7, Friday hair, Aeon Soul bikini and pants, CyberFit shoes, DT desert sunset hdri.

    A female character whose bundles doesn't come overloaded with barely there bikini-style skimpwear, has virtually no killer high heels if she trips, and sci-fi attire? DAZ, are you sure you're feeling well? This isn't like you guys at all. (Kidding, I'm super happy for all of the above, haha) Fudge, if I didn't have a convention this weekend, I'd totally splurge on the Pro Bundle for sure. 

    My only gripe is that the Sakura for Aiko 7 character looks like the Generic Victoria McSameFace with the doll eyes/button nose/bloated lips (which I will concede, works far better for a toon character than one that's supposed to be rooted in realism), but mind you, I'm really bad at reading or telling apart faces if they don't have anything distinct about them, lmao. But I don't think she's part of the bundle anyhow, so it's no skin off my back and I have no need to spend money on her.

    On a different note, has anyone tried mixing Aiko 7 with SickleYield's Anime Character Creator yet? Now that we have an anime character, it might be worth seeing how the two mesh.

    I'm still working on the scene so can't post it completed yet, but this is the shape I'm going for. I've reduced the eyes a bit more.

    Nice render IX! Love what you did with mixing the figures together. =-)

    I'm still laughing at 'YAY! REALISTIC HEELS!' and "BOO! LOW HEELS!"

    I have used some of the face morphs from Sf Anime Character builder with Aiko 7, just a little bit, , here's one version: http://www.daz3d.com/gallery/#images/172126/

    and I also used some other facemorphs to make the nose and mouth smaller

    I wish Iray could do this. Sometimes I want to overlay some lineart to a picture. Love this look.

    uh.. folks.. you get stuff lik this so you can combine n tweek. If you want only out of the ox/as ot os, why bother at all?

    Yes, I'm rude, but there come a point where "it's not what I want" needs to be addressed with "it's a tool. so use it o MAKE what you want"

  • i love her but i think she lost her manga/anim style after Every model, when we look the Evolution of Aiko 1 to 7 

  • sapatsapat Posts: 1,735

    I don't like the big anime hair that's in the bundle, so that's just not useful for me, but Propschick hair is a nice fit for Aiko's face.  You have to take the bad with the good if you buy the bundle, so it is what it is. She's cute and less toony than she used to be which is a plus for me since I don't do 'toons'. 

    I did a quick portrait render late last night since I couldn't wait til today.  The character is Lolita from the bundle and she is really pretty.  Propschick Razorcut Bob hair and the Gothic Lolita outfit also both from the bundle.

    DS4.9P Nvidia Iray.  I let it run for 55 minutes which put it over 85% cooked, so I stopped it since it was almost 1am and I wanted to go to bed.

    I like it. I would buy for sure. Love your work.

    What gets me is the brows, I don't like realistic brows on on an unrealistic face.

    By the way, Ix, care to show the FBM for Star 7? I know that's usually what I do, but I want to save my cash for now until the new male counterpart shows up. :)

  • BurstAngelBurstAngel Posts: 763

    I hope he shows up soon. Not touching Aiko 7 without him. I bought Girl 7 because Guy 7 was awesome. I have been wishlisting female bundles to save cash for whenever a male bundle comes along. I am confident that there are so many females that most will end up on sale whenever male content dries up.

    It's on the waterfall tails hair, so there isn't really anything to see. However this one snuck into the bundle previews today:

    Straight render this time. Praise blender! I'm expririmenting and its super fun, Its a whole setup. I can actually get completely hard cel shading too but I quite like this semisoft look personally. Most importantly, the edges of the shading are smooth where a lot of 3d cell shaded stuff can look rather jagged.

     

    I think aiko looks suitably anime like this. :)

    And another... Lookit. Magic anime eyebrows! Total accident making them visible through the hair. But it turned out to really fit the style. Nice to know I can do it either way
