    Started out by trying to get @Slosh's Naval Uniform for Genesis 2 Male(s) to look decent on our new friend Dwayne, but wasn't satisfied with autofit. Tried a quick drape but the top's geometry is going to need more attention than time permits at the moment. I do really like the uniform and definitely plan on coming back to it.

    In the meantime, Elvis was good-to-go out of the box, so here’s my render of him:

    How can you not love this guy… he’s freakin' awesome!

    Glad some people like the character and bundle, but personally, the only thing I like is the facial hair and there's no incentive to get the bundle without a choice of freebies, but maybe one day, when G9 arrives, he will be a freebie for me. And now I have a nice gift card store credit waiting for a great deal on products I can actually use and like! Win/win I guess.

    The Chippendale's Guy looks like Draw or John from that DIY show on HGTV. I forget the name of the show but they recently visited a town east of where I live in this state called Lynch, Kentucky for their show. LOL, they must be really hard up for new show ideals. Dang, I need them to finish my house.

    The comic book halftoning you did looks great KnittingMommy.

    Anyway, my last test render. This one has Boris too & I noticed Boris has bugs but I still could use Boris in the scene.

    This one is called 'Here's Your Bottle' and has the futuristic cop flummoxed by the arrested criminal's behavior. 

    I really like the Ninja Armous a lot of work with into that, well all of the bundle but I like the material shader touches added to the Ninja Armour.

    I'm really fond of Brandon. It's awesome to see a Disney style male character.

    Now, I think someone said earlier in this thread that Brandon has a very distinct nose, which might make it difficult to use him as a base for other characters? Well, I decided to challenge myself to make a new character based off Brandon (turned up to 100%) using only the regular G8M face morphs, and this is what I came up with.

    I tried to make him look more like Doomfist from Overwatch (I didn't touch the body morphs, so he's obviously not as muscular as Doomfist). The skin textures are from Kincaid with Brandon's iray settings applied over them (and the Dual Lobe Specular Reflectivity turned down to 0.23).

    hahah Awesome! I love what you did with him -that's a great looking character! :D

    I'm more disappointed in the lack of add on's for him. It's all poses and outfit textures. No other characters. I would have loved a morph pack from P3D or some other characters from PA's more along the lines of Brandon.

  • MimicMollyMimicMolly Posts: 2,322

    Still not too fond of his shape, but I love his skin. I think it complements Sakura 8.

    Though it's always fun to play around and get matching characters to apply the skins on. wink

    Here is a quick Toon Dwayne 8 mix, head only. (Toon Dwayne 8 25%, Owen 8 80%, and Marcius' Luc 62%). The skin is also from Dwayne.

    good job

  • RAMWolffRAMWolff Posts: 10,343

    Yea, there's an incentive I guess for Dwayne.  His toon skin is smooth as a baby's butt and is of a nice quality and has normal maps and all the rest so it's not too flat.  I had to turn the Normals way down to about 35% on my homespun character as it was just a might too strong in some renders.  Shame there is only one eye color for Dwayne default, just blue.

    I made him into a half-orc.  Dwayne body 52% and Dwayne head 61% with bodybuilder morphs added in and some of EJ's fantasy morphs. I also made him a bit taller and used the genesis 8 base skin instead of the one he came with. I'm having the same problem with the wonky fingers when using the proportion adjuster morph though.  Would like to have toned his forearms down a smidge.

    When I took the base Dwayne into ZBrush the fingers are very squished at the top, the distance between the first nuckle to second knuckle is about average second to third shorter and the third to tip is rediculously squished.  Not sure if that's part of the problem.  Honestly the morph itself ... seems a bit rushed to me.  The forearms the flow of the verts is really wonky when viewed in ZBrush too.  I love seeing all the renders used to make him your own and I guess just small amounts goes a long long way to make him more pleasing to the eye.  Clothed he looks OK as you don't see allot of that stuff but boy bare chested and up close looking over the hands, it's really quite .. I don't know.... weird to me.

    Is that the sound the bills make when you tuck them in? lol

    I like the graphic elements and style you used on this one.

    Maybe he doesn't get whole dollars and people are throwing change at him. ;)  Thanks, Greg. You know me, always trying out new things. :)

    So cool! But it still doesn't sell me on the character. You could have done this with any character and it would look awesome. Very cool postwork! 

    It's true, I probably could have done it with any character, but Brandon is the one that inspired me. I just like the whole look to him even his arms. There's just something about his face I like, too. It works for me. That doesn't mean he'll work for everyone.

    Thanks, @nonesuch00. I had fun putting it together.

    I think I like the poses that came with this Toon Dwayne Pro Bundle better than any other pro bundle I've bought. 

    Boris is really short too, not just Dwayne, even sitting Brandon is higher than Boris' waist.

    So what is the Toon Dwayne morph exactly doing to the fingers and hands? It seems to totally deform them.

    Brandon mixed with several Marcius characters plus dial spun to make him less blocky.

    The most noticable thing is the fingertips are square which is wierd but sort of fitting for the boxy look of Dwayne.

    I've not had morph troiubles with Brandon or Boris because I didn't change them except make the Propogating Head Scale 10% bigger. Boris does load with mismatching materials if seems and with Owen 8 & Floyd 8 dependent dsf files as dependencies (probably unneeded dependencies).

    People have been begging for an official male match to Sakura, or any of the other nice looking stylized G8 females, and this is what gets released instead. Yeah. That sounds about right.

    What can I say folks? Better luck with G9...I guess?

    I'm waiting for your Elvis image. smiley


    @ Stinger

    Thanks for watching.


    @ Lasciare

    The curtain is from Sveva (by Rero).

    Not at all keen on Dwayne.  But, with a few butchifications (still needs work), here's my version of Brandon...

    Looking good! Is it wrong that the first thing that popped into my head when I saw him was "The Jean Genie" by Bowie?

    Promo for Bad Kitteh's Engineer Boots for G8M. I used Kagiso at 60%, Toon Dwayne at 40%. Kagiso's head is dialed in a little more, at 70%. I tried RAMWolf's trick for the Proportional Adjust slider and dialed it in around 35%. I liked the burly arms for this pose/scene.

    Thanks! So do I! I especially love the Brandon genie look, Algo's wonderful Elvis sketch and Nonesuch's sailors. The orc is very creative, cool idea! Brandon makes a great Elvis too. The promos of him as a Disney-like Tarzan are right on. Very versatile. Toon Dwayne has some great looks! Keep 'em coming!

    Butch, your sexy demon boy is cute as hell.  

    Llynara, your construction dude is amazing!  

    So fun to see folks making the most of this crazy character!
