    Thanks for that. I just saw some other dForce thread ressurected as well with what looks like in-depth tutorials, so I'll definitely have to do some learning in the future. It seems like a powerful utility, and while Archmage makes it easier to use, I'm still missing a lot :)

    RGcincy's thread is great to read smiley

    It looks very nice: the contrast between the blue skin and the yellow/orange portal make the character 'pop out' (not sure it's the correct term) of the picture.

    The end result looks nice :)

    #4news:

    A couple of other items were used for the first time, but most were sitting in my library for a long time.

    It started with the free 'Maid from Mars' poses and as I have spent some time reading Percy Jackson's books recently, my mind jumped from Mars to Ares, and from Ares to Olympia, so she was picked first. I thought about using the Classic Barbarian himself instead of Ivar 9, but as far as I can see, his height is the standard Genesis 9 height and I'm not sure it would have worked with Olympia 9 who's height is close to G8F height, so I ended with Ivar 9.

    I also wanted to check how Wood Modules would look and they felt like the perfect foreground to go along the Island Castle (which was a bi-weekly freebie a couple of month ago I think) to create a 'they are walking at the shore of a lake with a castle in the middle' scene.

    I tested various outfits for Olympia, and ended with the Siren of Snakes outfit because on top of looking very nice (as the other ones I tested though) its skirt is also hidding that the whole pose feels unbalanced by hiding her legs (they are still nicely done poses which feel faithful to the original painting by Frazetta) and once chosen, I went all in with gold makeup and nail polish laugh

    Not a new item, but a fair warning regarding the barbarian outfit worn by Ivar: most of the items were loaded with viewport SubD set to 4, which is not useful, so beware if you're using it, it could be a good idea to check every item and lower the viewport SubD level to 1 or 2 while keeping, if you have enough VRAM, render SubD at 4.

    I don't know what they are both looking at: I tried various things, but didn't find a creature and a framing of the scene that felt right, so it could be a dragon a saber tooth, or worse, the Monthy Pythons' rabbit.

    I forgot to list it, but Face To Face Autopose Arms For Genesis 9 was useful to get Olympia's hand close to Ivar's shoulder before finetuning her pose.

    All items bought from Daz sould be linked at the gallery, Together:

    I got CJ Cassia (G8F) and G8F Fairy outfit for Karyssa 8. Obviously, fairies that have dragonfly wings will fly and cavort over water... USC2 and USXT landscape.

    Quoting an expert, 'it's not flying, it's falling with style' laugh

    Now the big question: how easy it is to swim with dragonfly wings soaked with water?

  • Hmm. That might be a fun one to investigate. Not sure I have any applicable content that would fall within the remit of the thread though. Oh maybe.. as Cassia & the clothing did, it should do again provided I take less than 7 weeks. I will think on it. Regards, Richard.

    At worse, there is always the possibility to share the result of your investigation in the other thread, Render your buys! ALL TIME Challenges :)

    As a simple equation of body mass, succubi should not try to keep up with centaurs at the pub.

    I decided to catastrophically abuse Collection of High Heels for Genesis 9 for the Daz+ Inspiration Contest. And I wasn't content with limiting it to one set, they were all getting misused.
    Most (but not all) other assets are listed on the Gallery Page.

    Blowing Up

    Sometimes the things you blow up just explode back at you.

    Just wanted to test Dragonscale HD for Genesis 9 and Dragon Wings and Tail for Genesis 9 without Valenia. I used DAV Zhora for Genesis 9 HD instead.

    This started out as a render of Mateo 9 Mountain Man HD from my purchase in Dec 2024 (I am that far behind), but I have used products bought before and just recently to put this render together.

    Because he is on the hefty side, I ran into some challenges. By the time I was done I found I actually cared for him more that Mateo 9 HD.

    I used:

    https://www.daz3d.com/dforce-hnc25-mens-office-outfits-for-genesis-9 - it worked just fine with his figure and simulated like a dream. 

    https://www.daz3d.com/m3d-balding-hair-styles-for-genesis-9 - I used about three of the hair pieces and facial hair on him. And then covered his hair up with, https://www.daz3d.com/dforce-mi-everyday-construction-worker-for-genesis-9.

    I found I didn't own a phone yet for G9, so I used https://www.daz3d.com/smart-phone-poses-and-prop-for-michael-8. It was fairly easy to move into his left hand and parent it.

    The pose is actually a combination of three partial poses from https://www.daz3d.com/the-gentleman-poses.

    The set is the newest item https://www.daz3d.com/overgrown-outpost-for-ministry-and-return-to-enchanted-forest which I bought because I love The Ministry.

    I added some lights on the character from https://www.daz3d.com/subtle-portrait-lights-and-hdris to bring out Mateo's face more.

    The render on my MacMini took over two hours and converged only 25%. 

    To all the PAs who created these products, thank you. I enjoyed working with them and the result.

    That came out great!

    @Elor and @barbult, thank you both very much. It has been a crazy, scary weekend and you both helped perk me up.

    I really like this one! The construction, pose and expression are really great.
