Wow. That sneak peak is awesome! I love that you're including simple hair to go on the figures. It is so difficult to find something suitable for this purpose. I can't believe I'm saying this about a female product, but I can hardly wait for the second one to be released! (Don't get me wrong, I'm not saying there's anything wrong with female products. It's just there are so many of them, and so few to choose from for the males.)
More sneak peeks, please.
I'm happy that you mentioned and obviously appreciate the "simple" hair options - I was not that sure in the beginning of this project about especially that, but indeed, when it comes to statues and statuette renders, there are not so many options available in that regard. Some usual hair pieces can look good though without transparency, but in most cases it always looks a bit odd, unfortunately. For my second set I refined the simple hair pieces and I invested a bit of time to make them look individual and "sculptered". :)
But I can't leak so much yet, not until the product is accepted by DAZ. That's why here is an image I already showed in my jepegraphics facebook account. A very classical Art Deco figurine lamp - I chose the "silver" version, but I have also seen it in green patina and dark bronze metal.
The new pack is fabulous.
My question is that I can see that you've used various outfits in the promos, and would be interested in knowing which ones they are. Are the promo sources listed anywhere like in a Read Me? Posted anywhere?
I can see that DAZ probably wouldn't want it on the store page. But knowing what some of the promos used as a starting point would be awfully helpful.
Well..., good and bad news I would say - all what you see in the promos is also what you get when you buy it, but... there's always a "but" - the clothes are no clothes, bras and skirts, capes and headwear are not rigged, all items are static props fitting only that statuette and it's pose they're on.
Forgot: Here's also a comparison chart again - 3D statuettes vs. Reality (photos/sources): https://www.deviantart.com/jepegraphics/gallery/67622470/Art-Deco-Statuettes-II-for-Victoria-8
The second set is just wonderful, @jepegraphics. I think the static props in the presets are perfect. They fit the style of the statuette and give us the option of nude or not nude. And Hair! I so appreciate the hair and headdresses you've created. I found it so difficult to find conforming hair that looked "right" once the metal materials are applied. (I'm experimenting with some toon hair I picked up just for this purpose. I'll report back if I'm successful.)
Picked up both sets @jepegraphics and love them equally, well done :)
Thank you very much Allegra! I hope you feel inspired for some cool new renders! :)
Thank you Anita, yes, that's indeed it. And of course everyone is free to try out all the already existing outfits for the females for ever new statuettes in different styles. All shaders are included in my packs and can be used on other surfaces. :)
Oh so it includes the "clothing"! (I've downloaded, but not yet installed) That is wonderful.
I suspect it's going to probably be a little tricky lining things up, but hey, camera angles... This is well beyond just a "starting point".
Thank you so much!
Thank you for your kind words and support, and yes, when you see it so, it is indeed a perfect starting point, all 15 statuettes load as a scene subset completely with pedestal, clothing, hair, shaders. One thing I would want to mention again, the statuettes load in Vicky size, for statuette size I recommend scaling the group down to 20% to 25% - and it will fit in almost every interior environment. :)
I've been so enamored with the finished statuettes and the ability to use any figure I want, I completely forgot to mention what a great resource these sets are. To anyone who's thinking about buying one or both sets—all? Will there be more? Fingers crossed—don't forget about the shaders.
The shaders in set 2 are completely different from the shaders in set 1. Not only can you use shaders from one set on the other, but you can use these shaders on anything. I have both sets, and the second set more than doubles the shaders for Glass, Marble and Metal, and added 2 more Ivory shaders.
So not only are these sets a lot of fun to play with, but they're a versatile addition to one's runtime. (Did I mention, I'm quite impressed with these? Well, yeah, I am.)
Thank you for your kind words, Anita. Indeed, the artists in the 1920s and 30s had a weakness for especially precious and wonderful looking marbles and I'm happy I could include some shaders that come very close to those. They even have names like the black/gold Nero Portoro from Turkey, the Red Empress from Russia or the Green Onyx from India - I didn't use generic patterns made in any of the digital patterns generators, I used real photos instead. - Also the metals in these sets, some say they're simple, and yes, they are simple, but resource friendly and effective, no fancy maps loaded in every available shader channel without a sense and effect, only because it looks 'professional'. What is the use of it when the computer machine and graphics card is choking on too many unnecessary stuff - not everyone has a high-end computer machine!
I second @L'Adair's comments. Both sets are fabulous resources and very enjoyable to use.
Thank you for your kind words, fastbike1. :)
