    Still Comin!!!

    Hope I got the cash when it finally arrives! The supersuit is still one of my most favorite Genesis items, but It think we've barely scratched what can be done with it :)

    you can try adding a white or grey displacement map to the clothing

    But I did mention adding or turning on Smoothing (which is the same thing) Cagnazzo. Sorry if I wasn't clear enough.

    Never tried using a fully white or gray displacement map to pop out the suit more, that's an interesting idea. Just watched a very informative vid on Vector maps, I really hope that DAZ Studio supports them in the near future: http://youtu.be/2kb3uC1nY7Q

    Just posted these up at ShareCG, in case there's any interest... they're for Nadino's Mach 1.6 Bodysuit (which was based on joequick's Mach 1.5 suit). The material presets are for DS (both .dsa and .duf formats), but all the maps are there for the Poser peeps to work out.

    Nightwing also wears the M4 Trekker boots; I've included a preset for them as well. The mask is from Joe's StreetLVL Justice set.

    The Flashes also use Joe's Nadino Mask and bits from his Golden Age Heroes set (neither of which are currently available, but it wouldn't hurt to try asking politely, else you'll have to find your own workarounds), as well as aztecmarco's Head Wings.

    Huge props and thanks to equinoxx5, joequick and Nadino for sharing these resources :-) Nightwing and Oracle face shapes by me :-P

    Have been wanting to do a Nightwing render for ages and after mulling it over realized that Nightwing + Oracle = Dark Knight :lol:

    you hit the nail on the head with that statement.... there is soooo much more that can and is being done and my bundles will add a lot of cool designs and functionality to your supersuit closet.

    I wish i could preview them for you... but the impact will be greater If it all is revealed at once. Its going to be like a whole new product.

    See now you're just teasing! Haha!

    Seriously, can't wait to get my hands on the updates. I've been trying my hand at doing other stuff with it (like 90's Extreme designs), but I'm not completely satisfied with the results yet. I'd love for the new stuff to include spikes and ginormous shoulder pads... as well as morphs for weaponizing the suit without the need for props. The tutorials you provided in youtube were a big help in that regard. :coolsmile:

    Love how you got the Big Blue vibe :)

    The lighting and expression do make him look a little severe, though; maybe it's the eyebrows ;-)

    Glad to see my humble contribution coming in handy for you. That's a great image! I'll admit I'm a tad confused about why Oracle seems to be fondling Nightwing's baton*... but still, fantastic job!

    *Yes, I'm aware of exactly how that sounds... but frankly, it's the most innocent phrasing I can come up with...

    Thank you so much, equinoxx5; I couldn't have done it without you :)

    To answer your question (which was circumspect all things considered; if you had used their nicknames it would have been "why Babs seems to be fondling Di-- bwahahahahahahahahaha :lol: %-P )

    My answer, and I do have one, is that [strike]she's not fondling it but telling him to put it away[/strike] it's meant to capture a moment when Nightwing reacts impulsively to an intrusion and Oracle would rather hear what the intruder has to say.

    But the pose is probably also a Freudian slip; I was inspired by the Handicapped? Not! thread. And while Oracle came to mind as a subject, I did want to focus on an area the able-bodied don't seem to associate with the differently abled: sexuality. While this is the first of the series it wasn't the first, nor even the second, to be composed and thsoe works probably influenced my subconscious. I don't know if that makes sense. :P

    Give it an "All tentacles and one big eyeball" morph, and we can use it for a kaled mutant, or an organic Dalek out of his travel machine.

    Hello everyone,

    I remember reading in this thread a while back that someone was looking for a Mystique texture similar to the one she has in the X-Men movies. Has anyone had any luck finding a texture like that somewhere, and if so could you please post the link? I have had no luck finding one so far.

    Thanks for any help and replies.

    nabob21

    No said texture was found. But someone, I forgot who, created their own and gave instructions on how to do it. I'd give you those instructions, but if I remember right, they were on the old forum and I wouldn't know where to look for it. Sorry.

    Here's a link to the forum archive :)

    And because links can and do get borked, here's CD_2012's tutorial:

    What you will need:

    1. A Painting/Graphics Program

    *PhotoBrush5 (I use this one and highly recommend it!)
    *PhotoShop
    *MS PhotoDraw (I use this one and highly recommend it!)
    *Any one you choose to use.

    2. The Skin Texture (Head, Body, Limbs, etc) of V4.
    Located @ C:\DAZ\Studio\content\Runtime\textures\DAZ\Characters\MilWom\V4

    3. Images of Mystique (Face, Body, Limbs)
    Google "Mystique" in Google Images

    First...load V4's "Face" into your Painting Program. (have the image of Mystiques face open on your desktop as a reference). Select the Brush and begin to add the "bumps" to V4's face. Just do this for one side of her face. You can then copy and paste what you have added and flip it to use on the other side of V4's face. This way you will have a symmetrical balance. Then repeat process for Torso, Limbs, etc.

    Invert Save the images. Open DAZ Studio, Load V4, in the Surfaces Tab (Diffuse), remove the .jpg image (if there is one, set the color to Blue 0-64-128. The remove the Bump Map, then add your "Mystique Texture" to the Displacement. Set it at Strength 20%, Minimum -0.39%, Maximum 0.99%. (you can experiment with the Displacement strength, Min and Max).

    I hope this helps you guys and gals who want their own Mystique Texture (Displacement Map)!

    Hey, I have a quick general question:
    When purchasing products around a superhero theme, do you prefer products made for Genesis or for M4/V4?

    I have a few ideas for possible projects but I'd like to gear them towards the figure set that most people would use. Right now, I'm considering a large set of poses. Would poses be preferable for Genesis or for M4/V4?

    Just looking for some thoughts and feedback...

    Thanks.

    I'm currently using M4/V4. Not ready to jump to Genesis just yet...
