So we now have ideas for hairstyles for Daphne and Velma.  The Paige hairstyle would be fitting for Velma, and Daphne's hairstyle would probably have to be morphed a certain way.

Daphne's wardrobe would be a certain type of dress, but I may be able to create new textures for that.

If only we can come up with wardrobe and hairstyles for Shaggy and Fred, that would be great.  I am thinking Shaggy wears baggy pants and a loose-fitting t-shirt that goes over his waist.  To find Shaggy's hairstyle, however, would be a real challenge.

Nita hair might work, just need to figure out the head band:

And actually, looking at the cartoon images, Daphne and Thema's hair is exactly the same around the face, the only difference is how is falls around Daphne's shoulders. So that said a better choice might be: Paige Hair for Genesis 8 & 3 Female(s)

It can be made longer, and if push comes to shove, add another longer hair. (I just found out two hair styles can be used on one char... go figure.)

The Noir Version.

An homage to the queen of Pinups !

As the old saying goes, "I've tasted blood and I want more".  Really enamored with PhilW's dForce hair and hoping someone comes out with dForce hair wirth bangs soon, perferably wiht the optioon to roll the bangs like Bettie Page's bangs for that 50's pin up look.  Thoughts?

The community really needs a good 40s/50's style pinup hair with an upside down morph.  AprilYSH's Sheridan Hair has been doing Yoeman duty for those of us who do 50's style pinup modeling but now that we have dForce hair, it would ne nice to get a versitle hair that we could set/roll the bangs like Bettie Pages iconic style and still be able to set them different for different models.  It would also be nice if the hair fell naturally when the model is laying down or hanging her head off a couch upside down, etc.  The only G8 40s/50s hair I have seen in the store is Propschick's Georgina Pin-Up hair which is nice but not very versatile since you can not hide the Swirl rolls or the upsweels for the swirls.  Think Vargas Girls, Bettie Page, Jayne Mansfield, Bettie Grable, Rita Hayworth, Bunny Yeager, etc.  Hopefully one of the PA's is willing to take up the challenge of making a new hair product and there is enough feedback in this thread to show enough interest in this product.

I'm working on some fellas to fill the "guy" void.  A fatherly figure and a studly figure.

I am 100% here for both of them.

I haven't had a chance to test it out yet, but I recently did a "stylized" texture set for one of my outfits (with more baked in detail) in the hope that it would look good in visualstyle.   This is how it looks in Iray.  I'd be interested in your thoughts about lighting and shader setups in Iray for a toonier effect (or a product that does that for me).

Funny you should ask, as I have found myself using Iray a lot more nowadays now that i'm finally getting used to it. If you own 3DU's Paige, Pace, or Toon Generations for G8, they all come with light/render presets that are good for doing more toony renders in Iray (I own the bundles, so I can't say for sure if they're included with the base models).

As for shaders, I know nothing. :P When it comes to iray, I just use whatever presets I have available. There are a couple of stylised iray shader products on the store, but I don't own either of them (yet) so I can't give you any more info about them beyond what the store page says:

EDIT: Oh, forgot to say, the suit looks good. :D

EDIT 2: Ok, according to the store page, the lights/render settings are only included in the Paige and Pace mega bundle and the Toon Generations mega bundle.

OK, found it and fixed it.  3DU's Paige character, the alias_head_ectrl_3dug8fpaigemouthah.dsf file had an incorrectly set target channel.

One more render. I played around with @Divamakeup's Toon Remix thing for the materials (none of the morphs). I'm looking forward to playing with that product some more. The only problem I've found with mixing this character is the nose. There are some extreme morphs on the nose for all characters so you might need to go in and dial back just the nose morphs to undo some crinkling. Overall, I think it's a very mixable character. The morphs out of the box are great, too, if you do happen to have Girl 8, but I think you can get some great looks without her.

Agreed, and there is also https://www.daz3d.com/linday and https://www.daz3d.com/paige-hair-for-genesis-8--3-females to point out a few more.

I didn't realize they had an update for agent hair !!!

Hello,

Could someone direct me to how I might troubleshoot this eyeball problem? Eyes seem to be duller than expected, and dark halos appear around the irises.

I am using that standard genesis 8 head morph tool to combine the Girl 8 and Paige --it results in large eyes, and I wonder if that might be causing this. I tried a number of different eye maps but same problem. (I already reset all iris and pupil shaping so that doesn't seem to be it.)

I've attached pictures of the render and viewport. I'm sure this is a simple problem, but I just didn't know what the effect is called. Could someone clue me in?

Thanks!

Paige Hair for Genesis 8 & 3 Female(s)

I saw this PhilW product in the store and was quite struck by the description:-
"Using a new work flow to convert Carrara dynamic strand-based hair into polygon hair usable in Daz Studio and with the latest figures."

Am I to understand that if Carrara hair is converted to a polygon textured mesh which can react to a render engine in a different program - not just Daz, but in theory Modo or Lightwave too ?  If anyone could enlighten me any more I would be very grateful indeed.

I am beginning to see that the power of Carrara hair is something of a well kept secret...

There's the dForce bob: https://www.daz3d.com/paige-hair-for-genesis-8--3-females which has various styles and lengths.

Here is my favorite babe in her G8 iteneration.  Bettie Mae.  All dial spinning with P3Design's Bella Bleu Skin.  Unfortunately you will not see much of her here as she emulates the real Bettie Page and I can't post most of her Cheesecake/Pinup/ "other" images here.  Enjoy.

Wow!  I go away for a month and come across a topic like this one!   Intimidating for a rookie.  Now I know why members like Barbult, Linwelly, and Kismet are CV instructors at NUC.  (Also why DAZ Ann has that in her handle and the company logo.  That first render is amazing.  All of them are really, so I'm curious.   Are we allowed to ask “how did you do that” questions?

Here's my own attempt.  I guess it's "kitbashing."  It's not really doing anything with geometry or rigging.

Scene is from an on-going story based on comics I draw.  (Wanting to avoid entrapment, the police aren’t very subtle about a sting operation against oldest profession.  Foolish character gets arrested for handing policewoman a fake credit card.)

Police woman is Olympia 8 based “Sarah” variant.  Novak for G8 is police guy.  ‘Stupid Customer’ is G8M with 200 face/body morph packs.  Building is from “Alsace” mega-set.  Fake room is just planes with diff. textures on them.  Piano from “Kozy Kitsch" Livingroom props.  Paige Hair 8 on policewoman, Osher hair on foolish guy, and Shirt Afro Hair for policeman. She has on Casual Wardrobe items, Burlesque Outfit stockings & Sandals for G3-G8 I think.  Scene also has Law Enforcement Outfit & Firearms Pack.  Some of her makeup is homemade .png files for LIE that I learned from using ‘dirt’ that came with Leony for V8.  Lighting is a combination of Dome at 3AM and some homemade emissive lights inside building and outside to add a little more fill.

Hope you enjoy.

Hello!

I'm trying to make renders with 3Delight, but there's something wrong with The Girl 8 and I do not know exactly what it is because I am very inexperienced yet.

Below I put two side-by-side renders made with the same settings. As you can see, Paige's rendering was adequate, but "The Girl 8" looks very dark and the eyes look strange. It's as if the materials were not correct (though I set the correct 3Delitgh materials for both examples).

Does anyone know why The Girl 8 renders look so strange on 3Delight? Is there anything I'm forgetting to set up, maybe?
