NSFW? I'm not familiar with that desgination.
Attached is Lee 6 and a buddy ducking it our, sort of.
NSFW = not safe for work
Which we don't allow on the forum, so it has been removed from the title.
@Richard Haseltine: I learned this term on this forum, but I didn't know it meant "pron", which of course is against TOS. Now I understand the problem of using this term, sorry. Where I live, watching pin ups during work, wouldn't be deemed all too favorble for your career, so that is where my misunderstanding came from, lol.
It's a variable term, I wouldn't assume it meant outright porn but it would generally include things we don't allow (our restrictions are a lot stricter than just not porn).
@SapphireBlue, thank you for remembering that render! That is so sweet of you. I've actually kinda sifted through my G2 library already, because I do think too that this thread is such a great idea. Maybe the other older figures should have them as well? Because you're all too right, we forget the old things so quickly, even if they worked just fine.
Will try to participate further, for sure, and am looking forward to all the cool artwork of you and the others here.
Just contributing this one ... I don't believe I have ever done a render with G2. This is Gia 6 with G2-era hair, clothes, pose and prop, and an older prison environment. (Most of the surfaces have been updated.)

@Richard Haseltine: Well, in any case that term was telling people to do sth. not allowed - my apologies!
@ChuckM: Very nice scene, and I really like the hard light you used creating the shadows of the fighters! The attacker hits hard wearing the much beloved https://www.daz3d.com/wukong-outfit-for-genesis-2-male-s by Barbara Brundon and Sarsa to which there is also available the accompanying https://www.daz3d.com/wukong-outfit-textures add - on given to us by Sarsa. Lee 6 (?) has to take the blow in his classic https://www.daz3d.com/kung-fu-hd-for-genesis-2-male-s by Fisty & Darc for which ShanasSoulmate has provided us the smashing https://www.daz3d.com/red-dragon-for-kung-fu-outfit. Thanks a lot for your render reminding us of those great classic assets @ChuckM!
@richardandtracy You once told us how long it takes to create those poses, I hope you aren't loosing to much time - in any case thank you, you have contributed so many freebies to us!
@paulawp (marahzen): Just wow, that high key lighting with DOF in grungy environment - very cool! Gia 6 really is an impressive character imo, many thanks for that render!
I am a bit distracted atm, because there is a (to me) real good daz+ sale going on for all kinds of older and newer assets. Hopefully I have done my decisions soon. Until then thanks everybody for creating such great contributions for this thread, this is such a nice time travel to me and hopefully to some of you, too!
If you are interested, I've done ten G2F Underwater Poses because of the inspiration I've had from this thread. They may be found here: https://www.daz3d.com/forums/discussion/735086/g2f-underwater-poses
Regards,
Richard
I haven't used G2 in many years, and as I remember it G3 was almost here when I started.
But I found some characters and clothing and made a render.
@richardandtracy: beautiful and impressive poses - many thanks, Richard, so very generous!
@felis: What a nice, lively scene! Waitress not quite sure, who ordered the wine? Doesn't matter, always looking cool with https://www.daz3d.com/xylia-double-french-braids-2 by AprilYSH, the upper part of the https://www.daz3d.com/mistral-fighter-for-genesis-2-female-s by tentman and fitting shoes from https://www.daz3d.com/cherry-blossom-dress-for-genesis-2-female-s by Sarsa and Xena, Sarsa offering us in addition the stylish texture add-on https://www.daz3d.com/cherry-blossom-textures. While her skirt remains a mystery to me - couldn't find it, maybe @felis can help me out here, I sense a lot of Sci-fi coolness going on at the table behind her: On the right side, straight from the texture pack https://www.daz3d.com/neo-ayane-future comes the look for https://www.daz3d.com/neo-ayane-for-genesis-2-female-s, both by Aeon Soul, as is the nicely fitting https://www.daz3d.com/wave-hair-for-the-genesis-3-female-s-and-genesis-2-female-s, while her shoes come from Barbara Brundon and Sarsa: The classic bestselling https://www.daz3d.com/afternoon-heat-outfit-for-genesis-2-female-s with the https://www.daz3d.com/afternoon-heat-textures for those of us who just can't get enough of that beautiful style. On the left side the lower part of https://www.daz3d.com/leris-outfit-for-genesis-2-female-s by Nikisatez, together with the top of https://www.daz3d.com/hot-touch-outfit-for-genesis-2-female-s by outoftouch (DAZ also having a nice and tempting texture add - on for us in stock: https://www.daz3d.com/hot-touch-refresh-textures by ShanasSoulmate), the https://www.daz3d.com/fantasy-ornaments-for-genesis-2-female-s by Aeon Soul completing the bold and even daring impression of this mixed - and - matched - outfit. Almost forgot the outfit of the friendly guest sitting at the other table: https://www.daz3d.com/dance-practice-for-genesis-2-female by Fisty & Darc to impress others with your sporty look! Thanks for the render, @felis, some very nice outfits for us to revisit.
@mding I am amazed. I would never be able to list what was on a picture like that.
But the missing skirt is this https://www.daz3d.com/captain-cupcake-for-genesis-2-female-s
But as it only comes in green, I retextured it to match the top. The shoes were retextured too.
Many thanks @felis! It looks so much better in your render with those fabric wrinkles than in the promo pics! Now don't forget to get yourself the texture add-on: https://www.daz3d.com/captain-cupcake-textures by EmilyPaige (lol, just kidding).
Thanks! I really enjoyed working with Ysabeau 6, but I always added a few extra morphs, and used Anagenesis II to improve her skin. IIRC I most certainly added some Girl 6 to her, and from the looks of it probably a little V6, and no doubt dialed in a few more specific morphs.
Here is another image I did with Ysabeau 6. The outfit is once again XBA01 from AlfuSeeD, probably the same morphs as before, and I used Anagenesis II for her skin.
This second image I used Alani for Callie 6 (https://www.daz3d.com/alani-for-callie-6), Sexy Librarian for Genesis 2 Female(s) (https://www.daz3d.com/sexy-librarian-for-genesis-2-female-s), and Librarian Pinup Updo (https://www.daz3d.com/librarian-pinup-updo). Note that the the shin shaders fo Alani aren't nearly as dark. Applying Anagenesis II makes her a lot darker, and the setting the translucency to 75%-80% will make her similar to what you see in the image below. IIRC she also has some Girl 6 and V6 with a few other morphs mixed in.
@DustRider: Many thanks for that hint to dialing in some morphs - Ysabeau looks really awesome in your renders. I also like Anagenesis II, the results are almost always impressive, although I mostly use g8f skins or https://www.daz3d.com/iray-smart-converter-and-advanced-skin-managers-for-genesis-2. So a lot can be learned here (and in your gallery) about the art of Pin - up - thanks again!
mding Thanks for mentioning the Iray Smart Converter! I obviously didn't remember it or that I already had it... Now I can put it to use for renders for this thread, and also try out Anagenesis II, which it would seem I also have...
Here's a a quick-ish G2 render I did last night for this thread, using the unique Anemone for the first time.
OK, one more:

https://www.daz3d.com/doctor-s-coat-and-suit-for-genesis-2-male-s
https://www.daz3d.com/everyday-male-poses-for-michael-6
Most surfaces have been updated. (I'm using the original Michael 6 textures with 1-Click PBRSkin, which became my go-to tool during the last days of creating characters in G8, before transitioning over to G9.)
@SapphireBlue: How she blends into her environment and at the same time seems to long for the world outside the place she is bound to ... wow, I wish I could do such " quick-ish" renders
@paulawp (marahzen): The hair looks very realistic (for g2), as does the character! Nice idea with the doctors' coat -many thanks for that well done portrait!
@paulawp (marahzen): That's incredible, never knew G2 could look so good. Most impressive.
Regards,
Richard
So, I'm looking at this intriguing thread, and it has me investigating all these Genesis 2 assets filling up my drive without being used (thanks, mding). And I was wondering how to get the skins looking better in Iray. And along comes DustRider to remind me about Anagenesis II, which got spectaculary specular results back before I became enamoured with photorealism (of which ai has now disabused me). I scroll further and see Michael 6 looking like he belongs here, due to 1-click PBR Skin and paulawp, which I purchased upon release and forgot about. Thanks, you guys, for adding some excitement!
Just posted this on another thread - but didn't see this one for G2. I put the series up on the gallery. I am making a small video of this now.
My latest artwork: Aiko's Revenge
Rendered in DazStudio, postwork in Photoshop, Topaz2, PortraitPro
Aiko 6 (Genesis2 Female)
FW Lin
Sporty Braid
Mech Girl for Genesis 2 Female
Very nice work. Mech Girl outfit is a favorite.
@TY3DArt: Great lighting / mood and I love that painterly look you created in postwork - thanks a lot!
With this render I would like to rermind of two Sci - fi outfits I really like:
https://www.daz3d.com/galactic-force-bundle-for-genesis-2 by SloshWerks, which covers a male and(!) female version,
and https://www.daz3d.com/rogue-sci-fi-suit-for-v6 by Stonemason and StreetWear. Here I also used the https://www.daz3d.com/rogue-poses-for-aiko-6-and-genesis-2-female-s by Tengu23.
(click to enlarge).
Here's another sci-fi outfit: https://www.daz3d.com/scifi-bodysuit-for-genesis-2-female-s by Xena using https://www.daz3d.com/fusion-for-sci-fi-bodysuit by Morris and the first underwater freebie pose by @richardandtracy which you can find here: https://www.daz3d.com/forums/discussion/735086/g2f-underwater-poses
(Click to enlarge)
mding Those are all cool looking suits. The render with the girl floating is lovely and serene!
@SapphireBlue: Many thanks! I love this somewhat vintage style of those suits. Again thanks to @richardandtracy for that serene pose he created for all of us: https://www.daz3d.com/forums/discussion/735086/g2f-underwater-poses
Edit: I just saw Richard donated also a g8 conversion (see link)!!
I've been playing a bit more with Nadia having got the Lorelei Mermaid tail and spent a little time creating normal maps and an Uber Iray setting for it. The background, as before, is Namtar3D's Underwater HDRI, the old boat was (I think) a freebie but is lost from my memory, and the fish are from Shredder's freebie Coral Reef on Rendo. I was surprised and pleased to discover that the leg poses in my underwater poses didn't alter the tail in any way I could see.
Richard.
Richard where would I find that Namatar3D's Underwater HDRI ??? Thank you .
