Krampus Demon
http://www.daz3d.com/krampus-demon-for-genesis-3-male
Good and Evil take many forms, and often walk hand in hand. Many ancient festivals recognize this duality and celebrate the dark along with the light. This Krampus demon draws its inspiration from many sources, Old Germanic Christmas rituals, Classical demon illustrations and even Ancient Greek satyrs. All these looks can be illustrated through this unique character.
Horns are fully rigged to create a variety of looks.
Also comes with a bonus Christmas Sack, to either bring goodness or haul away the naughty.
Carefully sculpted high definition details, and highly detailed textures are provided and suitable for Iray and 3DL
Product Includes:
One Krampus Character Preset
One Krampus Morph Preset
Three Krampus Full Material Presets (including horns, tail, and genitals)
Three Eye Material Presets
One Sack Material Preset
One Horn Geograft
One Tail Geograft
Also includes IRAY and 3DL MAT files
(I wont be here when he comes out, going to NY for a week...so I really hope you enjoy him._

..and he is here http://www.daz3d.com/krampus-demon-for-genesis-3-male
May be a bit off topic, but I was wondering if a Centaur was in the making. Whenever I look at the promo images I find it difficult to ignore that semblence. Sagytarios could definitley use some upgrades.
Looks fantastic! :)
Centaur or Satyr?
This guys is intended to work as a satyr as well.

He looks amazing Rawn!
Thanx :)
Krampus does have features of a satyr. But I was wondering if a centaur (and even centaurides) could be created on similar lines.
Sagytarios is the closest 'thing' I could find that resembles a centaur in the Daz store. It might have seen some glorious days in the past, but I think it might not look great alongside the current crop of Genesis 3 characters (and Iray of course).
Centaurs are a significantly harder proposition, since they require totally new figures/rigging, or managing two separate figures manipulated together.
There are a few out there. Mostly either wth legacy rigging or for Poser.
The making of a centaur would be a significantly different process. I am sure daz will come up with something to make the creation of centaur type creatures more feasible eventually.
There's a thread about centaurs in free section and various methods to create it. The standard approach is to place a human figure on a horse figure, use an opacity map on the horse's neck, and then scale/collide stuff to fit.

He (a demon so is he appropraite?) looks great.
Watched Krampus a week or two back, and hauling away the foolish, or any other type, promises to be a blast with this character.
I don't buy creaturesas a rule, but...
My question is...does he wear G3M clothing without a lot of issues? And I don't mean just pants, I also want him to wear shirts as well. He's an odd shape and has a tail to boot. I notice he's clothed in the promos, but the description doesn't say anything about whether or not he'd fit normal clothes which is why I didn't buy him.
Overall, it's a nice bit of work. My only real issue with it is the tail. It's seriously anatomically INcorrect. You have it sticking straight out from his back. A tail should extrend down from the end of the tail bone inline with the spine, not perpendicular to it.
G3m clothes will fit, there will be some limitations with the tail obviously, but overall it would be fine.
As for the anatomy of the tail...well ....we gotta work with the limitations we have. Was the base figure designed with a tail in mind?..nope...so I gotta work with what I got. If you don't like it..that is up to you....I make things as I see fit, knowing what will work best with the geometry I have to work with.
Thank you, that's what I was wondering!
