    Page 4, and suddenly there are too many great images to comment on them all.

    Here he is with some tweaks with Altern8.

     Fantastic work as always.  I'm off work this week, so I was up early and bought the pro pack after a short time pondering whether to do so.  Usually though, I wait for one of your images (like the one above) to convince me that the figure is worth buying.

    Here's a quick test I did using all of the variations of Landon 8. The version here will be smaller, but you can see the HD image on my Deviant Art site:

    There is no postwork done on these figures except for adding their names.

    These comparison images must take a lot of work but thank you for posting - they give everyone a really good comparison of what a new figure has.

    Oh thank you, that's a sweet comment to read! :D I'm glad that my renders are helpful. 

    I hope you're able to make some time to have fun and to get some relaxation time in during your week off. :) Enjoy your week!

    I decided to do a more close-up image of the lycan.  The detail on this model is amazing.

    Well, drat!!  I want to support the guys (and my 20% off banner). I really like everything in the starter bundle (except for the Bad-a$$ polo shirt).  But I've been clicking on other people's images and realized that I've already purchased two male pro-bundles that I didn't know I had (did I even download them yet??) - Nix and Vladamir - oh wait... make that 3. I forgot about Christian.... they're all starting to run together..... sigh... i really need to spend more time using DS and less time shopping.

    I was thinking of getting the pro bundle, and started looking at individual items, when I saw that https://daz3d.com/dforce-outsider-outfit-for-genesis-8-males is showing what looks like texture problems in the main promo image. I'll wait until people start posting images with dForce added. The promos, if they are using dForce indicate the jeans don't perform well with dForce. Please prove me wrong, because we need good dForce stuff for the males.

    (Edit to fix typo.)

    I haven't rendered that set yet, but the Alpha set has an issue with the shirt textures (also carries over to the add-on since they share normal maps, etc.)

    Well that's not very good.  Looks like there needs to be a fix for that!  

  • AlmightyQUESTAlmightyQUEST Posts: 2,006

    Yeah, that seam and whatever is going on with the outsider pants (is that just the texture? or actual stretching?) is making me hesitant to get the bundle. I'm a sucker for werewolves but maybe will either stick to what I've got or pick up characters from this slowly...

    @RAMwolff, the seam for the shirt is right down the middle. Only on the default G8M is there no visible seam when rendering. Depending on the morph (the above was on Michael 8), that seam splits and shows the pixelated texture that some programs create on the "outside" edges of texture maps.

    The first is G8M in the default A pose. 

    This is G8M in the Base Pose Walking A

    This is Christian 8 in the Base Pose Walking A

    You guys don't love high quality free stuff the way I do aparently. LOL! Instant buy on my end. They had me a the teenage werewolf promo! The Vampire versus Werewolf poses sealed it. Chika Chikaaaaahhhh!

  • TheKDTheKD Posts: 2,711

    So 2/4 sets of clothings have glaring issues in them? I dont see how those made it to the store in that condition. The quality difference between male and female clothing is a bit absurd, and then people wonder why male stuff don't sell as well...

    Excellent work on both of these.  Sometimes the promo images don't show a figure at its best, it's only when people start using the figure and posting images like this that we get to see the full potential.

    Sadly, given that so many users can knock out better images in just a few hours of having purchased the product, I'd say that these days it's not SOMETIMES that the DAZ promo images don't do a good job of showing off the figure, it's MOST of the time.

    Oh, god don't even suggest that. You'll be tarred and feathered.

    We see this "similarity" a lot, when two figures/characters are wearing the same hair. If vendors who specialize in hair would release more hair styles for the men, we'd "see" a lot more differences in the characters in their promo pictures. (IMO, of course.)

    If it was free, sure. As it is, it's about 30 bucks if I want just the Lycan.

    I mean globally the shape of the face is similar (not identical). Sure, there are some small adjustments (eyebrow, cheekbone, lips, jaw, nose)

    Here is Landon. I added fitness, a bulge, and dialed up those tiny nipples. I like my werewolves a bit more ripped. wink

    Very nice

  • SorelSorel Posts: 1,412

    The only issue I see with Landon himself is I wish he didn't have hair baked into his textures.

  • ByrdieByrdie Posts: 1,783

    Which outfit besides the Alpha set has problems? Still not sure what I want from this offer and no idea how long it'll last -- as per Daz Usual. frown

    I haven't opened Daz3d in months, but I couldn't resist getting Landon 8 and this amazing Lycan HD for Landon 8. My little take on a classic werewolf scene.

    What hair is baked in? I detest that as well.  Please tell me its not his face at least.

  • ToyenToyen Posts: 2,029

    Here's a portrait of Landon 8 as redhead. I think I'm a fan :)

    There's a bit of five o'clock shadow baked in, but I mostly saw the extra body hair that came with the base texture. He's kind of a hairy guy, even when not in Wolf Form

    I'll be getting him tomorrow. I took the Alpha Outfit Textures out of my cart. That's a pretty sad excuse for a polo shirt even without the fatal flaw. He's a huge improvement over Lucas, who is relegated to permanent background status for me, or to dial some beta into a hyper masculine face.

    Yow... Not sure how that got through.  Thank you for posting the images.  We'll ge the team working on a fix.
