I never come to the forums to gush about a product, but I feel I must. I almost didn't get FN's Kim because I usually wait for sales, but the options for other items were too tempting if I got a bundle and another product, so I bought him with this "well, if I must," approach. However, It's a stunning character. The Morphs are great, but mostly, the texture is just beautiful and renders really well. I have several other FN products that I have liked, but I don't think I have seen the use of veins like I see on this guy--realistic and subtle but evident. One of the few times where I felt that the promo renders here didn't do the character justice--and they were good images. Thanks for a wonderful product!

Feng usually does a good job with their male characters. I was flip-flopping on getting it today or not. The only drawback is the HD details appear to be baked into the actual morph. It makes it hard to mix-n-match with other morphs, I find. Some of Feng's male characters seperate the HD details (John & Ethan for example).
Honestly, that was one of my worries, and there is no separate non-hd morph, but I am finding it not so difficult to use other body or face morphs. I tend to render beefier guys, but I have struggled to get the thinner ripped body of, say, a swimmer, and this one nails it. But I could beef him up a bit without an issue. Feng also did Erwin for Gen 8.1 and that is still my favorite body for adding hd veins and muscle detail.
Also fwiw, the veins seem to be displacement maps which means they are adjustable, AND they are portable.
