Spectre for G8M by RawArt

I respect and own RawArts work and because one of the genres I write is paranormal, found myself interested in the Spectre for G8M, initially carted but not now, because the eyes are wigging me out. They look like they are layered on top of the lids (particularly the right iris) versus under them. Is this an opacity issue? A layer issue? or simply something I'm not getting?

    Of course it is an issue with opacity.......if the skin is translucent then you will see through it. If you add a glow to the iris it will become even more prominant.

    I have 3 different skin options. One is not translucent at all, this one will not have any issues with the iris. The second is translucent and will have issues, the third is translucent with an emitter for a glow effect and will also have issues with the iris showing through.

    Your options are that you can turn the iris off completely, or use the skin option that is not translucent at all.

    Thank you.  Am I able to animate (assuming I have those skills) these characters with the lower limbs (below knees) staying translucent, for a gliding/floating illusion? Also can I turn the pupils off and just have the dark scalata? If so I am buying them. I do own about thirty of your products but this is the first one I've had questioned about because I have a specific character (book has been published) this could be perfect for in a book trailer. I need it to be a shadow type of ghost.

    There is a seperate mask that can be applied to the character to keep the legs hidden for that apparition effect.

    I am so glad I posted this. This soundabsolutely perfect. I actually had it in the cart twice, and after dumping it the second time, I was haunted by the thought that I was making a mistake.

    Thanks to @RawArt for responding. One day I'll pm you the link to the video. The character in question is Owen. An ornery grumpy know-it-all caught in afterlife.Thanks again and Merry Christmas.

    Sold. Normally I let new debuts brew for 2-3 days and watch the forum. I can't wait to play with these puppies.

    For a still image you could use the non-translucent version, render it separately, and then layer it in GIMP/PS, lowering the opacity. I assume there's a way of doing something like this for animations. (Though consider whether anyone would really notice this in a book trailer - how close to the camera is it? Is it moving at all?)

    He does coffin dive, so sometimes when he emerges in a close up. I did do an after effects youtube book trailer based solely on 2D flat ps layers and it looked flatter than fla and you can notice it.

    Here's the link.  I clearly need to do a 3d verison for this, teasers, and other sequels.

    Cool video and song @artangel

    I actually bought both the male and the female, which is something I almost never do as I do have a budget.  But these are just so cool, and so versatile with the three different setting.   Three for one, that's a pretty good price for something like that!
