I am pretty sure that Hugh Hefner did great for Daz3D! The pin up thing is a big part of a content based business where most of the sales are girls with tiny outfits.
lol
RIP HH.
..saw the notice earlier this morning.
OH NO!!!! an icon passes
Sneaking a look at Playboy was a right of passage for many guys growing up when I was a kid, before the internet, I have fond memories of going to the Playboy club in Vegas before it closed (or was it the party afterwards, it's all a blur, LOL)
RIP Hugh!
I heard the magazine was more than just pictures of nudes but had other content too. Never got a magazine to find out. Rather buy nude pictures that I can use for texturing instead of pleasure. Basically rather have photos to help texture Victoria or Michael and gang.
I just read the magazine for the articles.
Okay.
I used to have a huge collection of Playboys.
I had them for the images. Never got around to reading the articles...
Seriously though, I purchased them for the showcased artist of the month in the editorial section at the beginning of the issues as this was my dream to have my Playboy paintings showcased there someday.
My three most favorites were Patrick Nagel, Dennis Mukai, and the pastel work of Pater Sato.
I recreated paintings of images from the magazine, but never showcased them. They were just practice, style development until I could afford to hire my own models to create original paintings to showcase. Sadly, I am still far from achieving this, but at least 3D digital avenues are getting close to alleviating the need to ever hire real life models for my paintings.
Also, in celebration of his life, I watched The House Bunny today.
May his heaven be as wonderful as the world he created...
When I was a little kid, my aunt worked as a bunny hostess in the NYC club... For a while she stayed with us in our apartment... Her friends were bunnies too... Until I was five I didn't realize that wasn't a common thing.
Well... That's all I got on this subject.
Could only be a better story if you were 15 instead of 5.
Magazines in general are shadows of what they used to be as recently as 15 years ago. Playboy at least has a certain brand presence that ensures that the Hefner legacy will live on (for at least a while) in other areas, such as merchandising.
Well, when I was older (12-13) and I would hang out with my aunt and her friends it was very clear to me the other kids were jealous or surprised... I'd get a lot of "Wait... She's your aunt?"
He was an advocate for freedom of speech and equality. And he gave us bunny girls! Japan adopted bunny girls for themselves, they are everywhere in their media, especially anime. And bunny girls led to cat girls, and so on, lol. So in a roundabout way Hefner had a big impact on their pop culture and pop culture around the world.
I think this video is wonderfully uplifting and befitting. And to think, 12 amataurs hand drew every single frame of this in 1982/83 for a sci-fi convention (which is why there are so many references to comics and things.) Of course those amataurs went on to found Gainax, and Gainax had a recuring theme of bunny girl costumes in many of their works.
I've always been a really big fan of pinup art. The women in them were always either really confident and sure of themselves or cute and graceful (or all of the above). And men pinup art is just as fun, imo. There's nothing anti-feminist about enjoying pinup art. As long as women make the choice to present themselves as sexy or cute or graceful or however they want to present themselves, that can be empowering if it gives them confidence - same for men.
Pinup art has always been one of my favourite art forms as it's all about the person in them. I've always been fascinated with confident and graceful women - even though I'm a straight woman. I guess it's because I've always felt so unconfident and so ungraceful myself. lol I've always admired the women in the classic pinup art paintings.
Hugh helped bring pinup art to the mainstream and helped give it more legitimacy, imo. So for that, I'm grateful to him and am sorry that he's passed away. I guess if you're going to live though, living to your 90s isn't so bad. :) RIP Hugh!
There's a reason why Playboy is the most popular Braille magazine.
In honor of a bygone era - a bunny girl render. (I knew I had a bunny girl outfit somewhere, I just had to do some digging for it.
).
any hints where to get a real h.h.bunny girl costume for daz studio 4.9
When I was a freelance photographer's assistant in the 80s, I worked on a Playboy shoot in Venice for 2 weeks. I can honestly say they were some of the nicest people I ever worked with. Everyone on the shoot became good friends, and for quite a few years after it, the photographer and editor kept in contact with me through Christmas cards, etc. They used to talk about what a great family atmosphere there was at Playboy, and they genuinely gave the impression they felt lucky to be a part of the magazine.
And yes, there was some nudity, but no one made any big deal of it, and the finished pics were very tasteful.
Hopefully playboy is more tasteful than the porn magazine some guy showed me to prove that fat girls are beautiful but those images were not tasteful at all. Where is the brain bleach as I need to remove memories of that guy and his porn magazine from my head. Learned the hard way not to tell anyone in real life about my desire to use nude pictures to texture Victoria.

Maybe that > https://www.daz3d.com/bunny-girl-costume-for-genesis-3-female-s
I don't know about "real h.h. bunny girl costume" but the one I used is a freebie for A3 (fit to Genesis 1 via a Aiko 3 clone then saved as a wearable preset and fit to G3F via "Wear them All"). Here's the outfit: https://web.archive.org/web/20061108015323/digitalbabes2.com/~yamato/Xinxin.html
(The bunny costume is about half way down the page.)
Playboy always put things in front of the anatomical elements, or airbrushed out the hoo-has. (Kind of strange sometimes to expect to see something, and it's partly airbrushed out, almost Barbie-like.)
Yes, there is a lot of nudity, but the point of it was not the crazy and sometimes degrading depiction of women that you might see in other magazines. The context of the nudity is different in Playboy, I guess. It wasn't so much about raw sex as it was about beautiful sexy women.
The articles, interviews, fiction were all first class as well. You could actually read the magazine and be entertained by the content without looking at the nudity.
thank you rk66 and Diva
Funny enough, OutRider and DivaMakeup, A month or two ago, I dug out that Aiko 3 based bunny waitress outfit in order to recreate (or at least interpret) one of the "sword riding" shots from Daicon IV. other things have distracted me from that lile' project, but given the recent events, I should complete it. When I do, I'll post it here.
Sincerely,
Bill
