Yes, she comes with no makeup at all, and many makeup and eye color options.
I haven't used it on the horse but didn't get any errors using it on the Centaur that I posted last night. I can try and see if I get the same errors.
Here is Anagord's Rania for G3F. What a gorgeous, pale, photorealistic character! She reminds me of...
Please. I'm sure its user error but I don't know what else to try.
Those would be horse textures, to apply to the Daz Horse 2. They need the Horse 2 Pro bundle installed. Did you see the presets for the centaur parts in the Genesis 3 male/characters/centaur/materials folder? The centaur presets need the Centaur 7 Male Breeds and Hides installed to work properly, and I know it doesn't say that on the product page, and I'm trying to get it updated.
I have to post Robert for G3M by Tempesta3D anyhow. I'll make him into a centaur and use the materials. I seem to be on a centaur kick lately, LOL
Ah THAT is probably the problem. Let me go check my Genesis 3 Male character folder. (I do have all the proper horse things, its just the centaur part.
That was it, thank you so much DestinysGarden! This is what happens when one has too much stuff lol! Even though I have 4.8 specifically so that I have those handy blue bars to track down new material, I got it right on my laptop and wrong on my pc lol.
Oops, sorry. Cross posted! I'm loving these new textures. DG! You and InaneGlory did a wonderful job on them. I really feel like these should have been the defaults. They are so much better than what came with Centaur 7. Great work!
Thanks Llynara. I really like the pictures you posted a page or two back.
Glad you got it sorted out Sonja. I know how it is with stuff everywhere.
@Novica, I meant to say earlier that I'm really enjoying all the head shots of the male characters. That is an excellent reference and great comparisons to really show of the differences.
Them's some fine lookin' shaders.
(and on my wishlist now)
Thanks, still working on them. It's really just to show the different morphs, as I'm keeping the lighting all in the same range whether it's the optimum lighting or not (and many of them are nots) I got sidetracked with the material tutorial but I'll try to do ten more tonight (or more.)
@melanieL Would you mind posting that render and the link to the product in The Material Zone thread here in the Art Studio? I created it so folks could cruise through shader examples and have it all in one place.
Thanks FirstBastion. I bet there's a delorean model somewhere.
I love them. But then I'm a shader junkie! (I have most of yours too, the Iray fabric ones - Lace is a favourite - and the older 3Delight ones - AElflaed's and Phoebe's Fancy and the great Gemologica still get used in many of my renders as I use 3Delight a lot still). Your jewels and clothing are pretty neat too!
Done.
By the way did you spot my April 2017 Picks on Page 84 - they are not in your cross-reference list and I believe the closing date is today?
I did some Iray renders of Factory Warehouse. Very nice interior environment if you like industrial settings. I've been in a number of chemical plants that had a look similar to this. It comes with Iray and 3DL materials and the lighting you see is what I got when I loaded the set. It has many props that you can use in other industrial scenes. My big surprise was that it's almost a construction set. The prop folder contains the individual wall, floor and ceiling sections that you can use to assemble your own industrial room. I say almost because not all the parts fit together smoothly (there's two rooms in the set, one bigger than the other, and that affects what wall and ceiling parts go together).

Here's a more conventional view of the warehouse interior:
Thank you my dear. I've said it before, and I'll say it again, Fisty's products have the best UV's in the business for using shader presets on. See how the texture is not distorted and super stretched across the back and bust lines? That's all her. Thanks Fisty, for making my life easier. My product review is anything by Fisty & Darc will get you top notch material zones, and meticulous UV maps. They are a kit-basher's dream.
@MelanieL - really nice pic. I love how you used the brushes on the backdrop. That render is pretty much product promo worthy in my opinion.
Yup, over on sharecg complete with flux capacitor, hook, Mr. Fusion and flying conversion add ons. The same person also has the train too. Search for BTTF of course ;)
I saw that yesterday then got sidetracked. I'll do it now (was out running errands, off the computer a couple hours.)
Indeed.
I was too optimistic. Entertaining family in town and associated events wiped me off the map. I will try to do this next month; I really appreciate seeing what folks have worked with, so I want to see if I can reciprocate.
Just a quick mention- for those of you who want a realistic barn interior, many barns (and most of them in hot climates, or who have hot summers) have box fans in each stall because they're so cheap to run. In the sale over at rendo, there is a box fan for $3.75 (it's an obj, not hard to add materials to/change it up.) It's in uncle808us store. You can type in Box Fan FBX in search too.
I'm picking up a few more- in Valkyrie's store- Drew and Mona. If you like really thick eyebrows, check out Mona. Both are G3F. They are $6.73 and $7.50 (I'm prime, it's 8.22 and 11.21. Drew is Prime Flash so grab her if you like her, $6.73 is a deal.)
Edit: Yonnie for G3F has some neat materials, she's $5.63 Prime.
I would be hard pressed to name a shader by DestinysGarden that I don't own lol. In both 3delight and Iray.
LOL, just think of all the ones I can choose from for this month- all those Genesis 3 Male heads! BTW, would be interested to know who you folks like so far, a few surprised me.
Ok, I've been lost today in rendering and RDNA blowout sales. I shouldn't have but I did. Could not resist the prices! More renders coming soon!
Llynara's Top Picks for April 2017
So I looked back on just what I rendered in April. I got derailed mid month and didn't render anything for a week or two. Here are my top picks for April:
Note: my internet is horribly slow tonight so I'm posting this and trying to edit in the links between the lag.
I would seriously never get in an elevator again if I had been in there! I take the stairs most of the time anyway. I hate elevators. That would just cinch it for me. I'm finally caught up with the thread! Yay! You guys have been super busy.
@knittingmommy Do you have a top 3-5 this month? (Not trying to pressure you.)
I have Mona, she's fantastic. I picked up a few more too:
Most of Anagord's are $5-$6 in the sale with Prime, come with great options and are very photorealistic. I really don't know when that PA sleeps, because she churns out a lot of beautifully detailed stuff for Iray.
I also picked up Pix's Izarra here. She's gorgeous and has such wonderful character in her features. And four different skin tones! Wow! I will render her very soon.
Okay, jump back to here for 12 more of the Genesis 3 Males.
