It's Raining Men - Forum Team Challenge to the Forum Community (winners announced)

    Well, I published something called "It's Raining Men" on DeviantArt month and a half ago - I am pretty proud of it, but it wouldn't make to daz3d gallery: let's say there is no repurposed clothes there, because there are zero clothes between five male characters. Anyway, it is really raining now even here in California, so I decided to submit this sunny nostalgic scene.

    I am not even sure whether this would qualify for the challenge - I already posted it on DA a month ago. But there are never too many sunny nostalgic images, so here it goes.

    Not an entry

     

    Was searching for something I had modeled a while ago and came across this genesis-based character I put together for the celebrity thread.  Here is a quick render of a demon on wheels.  Could probably do a much better job on the 5 car now.

    If you are going to do a male study, please don’t make it about how a guy accessorizes

    This is a work in progress

    This render challenge was made in response to several threads which were bemoaning the lack of quantity and variety in male clothing in the store, so therefore the emphasis is on the clothing, and encouraging people to kitbash or repurpose clothing for the male characters.

  • up4up4 Posts: 8

    Yep, I'm of the bemoaning ones. I don't think many of us will be posting here, hence my "Want to see more ?".

    I guess not.

    Very nice. By your post count, I gather you're new to the forums. Welcome to the madness. angel

    Actually, this thread isn't a "male study."

    There is a "long" history that brought about this contest, started by a thread where one community member lamented the dearth of products, espcially clothing, supporting the male models, (http://www.daz3d.com/forums/discussion/65161/). That thread also spawned the (Male) Content Creation Mutual Support Group Thread, (http://www.daz3d.com/forums/discussion/65357/).

    The problem is really one of supply and demand. Clothing products for the female models sell more copies, therefore making the PAs more money for the same effort as they put into male clothing. This contest is one of many ways to prove to those creating content that those of us buying content do indeed want more products for the men.

    So in a way, this contest is more of a study about "how a guy accessorizes!" laugh

    Well that is not to say that we are excluding non-clothed, or clothed but not kit-bashed, renders though, as long as the renders are within the TOS.

    Of course we want to see more! Have you discovered the Show Us Your Iray Renders thread yet? (http://www.daz3d.com/forums/discussion/65813/) While we do concentrate on using the Iray render engine, there is a nice mix of useful information, answers to questions and georgeous renders. I think you'd feel right at home, and I hope to see you there.

    ETA: Whoops. I didn't mean to imply you shouldn't post in this thread, only that I think you'd enjoy the other thread as well.

    RE: accessories.  The only difference between men and boys is the price of their toys.  laugh

    Mine was inspired by childhood memories.  I remain unabashed.  As they say in basketball, you can't stop me, you can only hope to contain me.

     

    @up4.  Add me to what L'Adair said, welcome to the forums.  Love your render.  Hope to see more.

    In the spirit of Elizabethan and Jacobean theatre, here's FWSA Aiden for M7: Playing Portia.  Not so much a re-purposing but definitely a transfer of Medieval Princess for G3F, Nimue Hair for G2F and Glamorous Riva Accessories (necklace)

    Title: Lucky day?

    Artcollab's Chemistry room, transferred to iray and retextured.
    Rustic interiors, sconces I used for lighting are from the medieval tavern set (by Faveral I think), DZFire's real lights set as a base for the iray lighting.

    Pusey designs' bookcabinet

    G3M on bed and in the mirror, wearing peasant outfit, darrin skin

    G3F's hand dialled morphs, don't recall which skin I used, Left char is wearing the tunic from Xurge's woodranger set, spider queen hair and the top from BabKittehCo's Enigma Redux. Right char is wearing G2F skylys, wave hair both by Aeon Soul.
    No repurposed item, sorry... couldn't get the item I wanted to use to fit properly.
    Total render time: almost 16 hours (radeon R270, AMD FX6350 and 16Gb ram) on CPU...

    I wanted to throw a little something different in.  I was thinking of a knight in King Arthur's court.

    NOT AN ENTRY (as I already posted three images, but have entirely too much fun with the topic smiley)

    Ditched Efforts

    Ab-Used on G3M:

    Note: to use the tail and keep its functionality on G3M, when autofit popped up, I just hit cancel. Otherwise, the bones of the tail get AWOL
