Wish list for fantasy characters by DAZ

When I saw the minotaur pop into the store when it did. My jaw just about dropped. It was probably part of the reason why I started considering switching over to Studio. I am hoping there will be more coming out, like a centaur? One that is DAZ created instead of someone coming up with a hack. Don't get me wrong, the hack worked...kind of...considering what we had to work with, it did work, but was very limited, a pose change and you were back to realigning the body to the horse again. Took a lot of postwork to blend in the joining seams. But I am hoping for more of a better fit, something sanctioned by DAZ along the lines of the minotaur. Would be nice to have the ability use the G2M morphs on the face and upper body to allow the user to be more creative in developing their character[s]

    from what i hear, the monsters don't do as well as the girls. So while we will get some, not nearly as many. so it's best to leverage all the mosters available instead of waiting for some in a particualr generation. Like use Genesis 1 monsters since many of them were never replaced in G2. G3 monsters may displace G1 monsters, but maybe completely new.

    Use them all as needed.

    G2M had a decent assortment of monsters and morphs. So Mix em up.

    I've picked up a few older generation monsters along the way at good prices. My main issue with them is that for the most part their skins look terrible in iray, and whilst I've made progress converting human skin, the ridiculously shiny flat furry creature skins just look silly. I'd Open my wallet for iray skin updates/add-ons for some of those older creatures.

    I think the problem with a centaur, is that it is neither humanoid in shape, nor that of a horse, but a combination. As such, it would either need an entirely new genesis shape (unlikely to happen), or combine half the human shape with half the horse as a geograft. Whilst that may work, I suspect that autofitting clothing would be a challenge.

    That said, I hope either DAZ or RawArt take up the challenge, as I would like a centaur too.

    Sparky has a family of them over on Philosopher's Egg. But his are all based on gen4.

    There are rumors of there eventually being one based on Dawn and Dusk and the Hivewire horse. But that is likely to be a long time in coming.

    M4 outfits can usually be tweaked and parented to fit this figure..

    I was trying to remember the name of this! I've enjoyed and used it several times.

     

  • I'm seeking 'cold-blooded' designs, rather than mamalian, personally. Keep hoping someone will create a mollusc or insectoid/arachnoid-inspired stand-alone or G2-compatible creation. Something which feels properly exotic.

    Definitely hoping that someone will make a geo-grafted extra pair of arms or additional eyes, too. Stuff like that I can mix-and-match with what's already there.

    Would definitely like new creature skins for G2F/G2M! Especially if Iray-compatible! That Creature Creator set is amazing, particularly when using HD, but there are so few relevant skins for it. I still don't know why the included tail only had furry skin options included, too.

  • I'm not fussy about my monsters, as long as they look good lying dead at the feet of my fantasy warrioress heroine.

    Cheers,

    Alex.

    Perhaps I'm a bit of an oddball, but as a designer, a programmer and a player I would love to see someone create a Lalafell morph. It's from the Final Fantasy XIV game and my main reason for wanting it is to create fan art of my favourite characters. Okay, it's not the usual fantasy character, but thanks to Genesis there's enough trolls, elves and orcs to go around for everyone.

    Also, maybe a Sahagin.

    I am so looking forward to creature creator 3 just wish there was actual creators involved in it we could talk to on here and throw in suggestions would love stuff like bird legs/claws, mandibles, praying mantis type arms, differnt bug eyes on different parts of the head, lots of insect/bug body parts, tentacles,lobster claws,  beaks, tails, skins, cyclops, oh and an animal creature creator would be great too. Kit bash a lot of creatures using creature creator, several human figs as well as bits and pieces from other products but never enough pieces to do everything I want lots of creatures I've drawn and sculpted in the past would love to recreate and do better versions of in my daz renders

  • I'd love a new, morphable centaur character. Maybe this could be rolled into a newer version of the Horse? (New animal models are always welcome!)

    In the latest issue of DS creative there is a tutorial for creating a centaur from V6 and Horse 2.

    Heh, yeah, that tutorial is pretty much how I do it. Though I also use some collision to get things to smooth together.

    Something like this?  I'm not sure how much further I can push the mesh to be like those in the illustration, but it's fun seeing what happens and a learning experience, too.

  • with my dragoness I just hid the lower part of my genesis 3 lady and the head of the dragon lined them up then parented her to his neck so I had full movement still on both as well as posing them as one did give her a bit of a hunch back to fill in some gap using zevo/draagonstorm's age morphs but it was a pretty good fit horse though been harder for me. Some hybrids bought that use v4 I've wanted to use g2 instead still had to use v4 but made her invisable then parented g2 to her to work distorts warps like crazy otherwise and you lose movement morphs. the green creature with wings I made from several michael 6's + a victoria 6 with the sucubus wings + reptillian 6 + creature creature + mandibles and claws from another creature

  • a creature creator that could be used on animals, sea life, bugs/insects extra would be good too so we could combine different parts of animals and or sea life for some really unique aliens and monsters
