Holy moley that is an awesome demon. It's still in my cart, but judging by the promo images, it's one of the first products I've seen that looks like it come have come right off the featured images on Zbrush Central.

Are there any demon wings available for G8M? Maybe you can kitbash them together. Does anyone have this guy and some demon wings?

Oh I plan on just putting some old wings I have (with a texture I made in Substance Painter) on him, I just would have liked for that PA to make wings that look as good as the rest of him. :)
Favorite combination is Night Wings (very old - bet you already have them, too) on @RawArt’s G2M Legendary Demon, but can’t seem to find them in the store . . . must have been culled.
This guy does look fantastic and I’d like to see him rendered with some NPR Algorithm flavor!

Still in the store https://www.daz3d.com/legendary-demon-hd
(got a new one planned for later this year)
and for the OP...the wings on this guy could look good on him https://www.daz3d.com/dragkon-for-genesis-8-male
Rawn
Sorry didn’t mean to imply Legendary Demon wasn’t still in the store - just meant the old wings!

If I were kitbashing, I'd choose these ones... he does look fabulous; I love the horns, and the skin detailing along the spine! Oh, and the mouth... sigh. I might have to wishlist him, even knowing he's only iRay... and G8. Must resist...
Yeah, the Succubus add-on wings with my own texture (below) is what I currently use. I'll probably give Rawn's a try once there's a female version because I've never really had a set of wings that blended into the back all that well.
I love your retexture :0)
Wings tend to be such an 'add-on' sort of piece (which is good, because everyone likes differing wings!) that blending for any/all figures is a pipe-dream. That's one thing I happily relegate to post-work... although, with patience and transparencies... Custom wings for this guy, though, would be awesome; something a little heftier, and, well... angrier looking. Attitude-wings :-D
I´ve made a texture addon for the dark fantasy addons with a more gory, veiny look a while ago. Those could work with the behemoth.
maybe
Kayless's other demon character Tara 2 wings might work https://www.daz3d.com/tara-2-hd-for-victoria-7-victoria-8
he is missing something other than wings too
ya mean he got no glow below?
Well the only horns are on his head


It would be a different look, but
Morningstar Wings for Genesis 3 and 8 Male
combined with
CC Angelic Accoutrements
might make a pretty good looking combo.
That said, I keep hoping for a new version of the Succubus Add-ons for Genesis 8...
Yeah... sad to say, that also impacted my decision on the negative side. Maybe one of those horns needs a refit
Yes, I saw those after when I looked up the vendor's catalogue. Hey, you even get a tail out of it! :-) Stylistically, I think they are a great match, too.
Yeah, I think those Tara wings are probably the best match, seeing how they're by the same vendor. Also, I didn't really mean to start a big discussion on wings or to imply that this product was lacking; as I mentioned in the original post, I think the detail on this character is amazing and I only mentioned wings because I would really get a lot of use out of wings with this sort of mesh and texture detail.
edit: Looking at the Tara set, I have one question that isn't quite addressed in the description. Do the wings, horns, and tail conform/geograft properly to Genesis 8 as well as Genesis 3?
Sorry, but when you bring up a topic, there is always the danger of hijacking... :-D Besides, he is an awesome demon.... definitely worth discussing, wings, no wings, and all! I will now wander off so as not to perpetuate a thread needlessly...
Haha, nah no need to go anywhere, you were the one who pointed out the Tara wings anyway. :) I just didn't want to give the impression I was complaining about anything.
Won’t be home until late tonight, but I did buy Tara 2 and will load it up to try to answer your questions when I’m back, @SnowSultan.
Thought this guy would render well, and he didn’t disappoint when rendered this morning - excellent work, @Kayleyss!

When are you going to somehow package up that algorithm and sell it already? :D
Been playing around with using the output to train new neural networks. Not that I’m anywhere near successful in doing so, but if I were, the trained network would be easy to package up.
It’s slow going due to the sheer number of inputs and layers necessary to identify complex relationships, but some progress has been made by using fractal concepts (infinite zooming).
Wouldn’t hold your breath, though! lol

Do the wings actually work or are they stick on wings that just sit there ? not sure.
I have not gotten him simply because a level 4 HD figure is something my computer won’t like, he certainly looks impressive, the lack of textures for all anatomy is rather puzzling though as Hunter and the Old Guy I have by this PA have theirs, while I don’t usually load those bits it’s still nice to have the option, if I do use them it’s usually in a more artistic way like a sculpture which he would lend himself to so probably a different texture anyway in bronze or stone so not the deciding factor in not purchasing.
Level 4 is that 1 Million or 4 Million poly's ? wow
Thanks I think I will grab then cheers !
*sigh*
I desperately wish that someone would re-rig Arki's Lilithai Stregoa (sp?) wings for Studio.
Gorgeous wings. I don't think they're weightmapped, so they *ought* to work. But as soon as you pose anything beyond bone 1 the various pieces start drifting apart.
AFAIK are Poser dynamics so a Dforce weight modifier a better option
