Novica & Forum Members Tips & Product Reviews Pt 11
I love Marcius' characters and picked up Zux. I rendered her in human form and in alien form, not realizing there was a third option, black elf too! Great character(s). Really, I was testing the Fast Production Lights, and must say they are wonderful. One click solutions are always great finds, for me, and these work beautifully. First render is out of the box, second is "optional lights," and the third, I used the cool tones settings. The product also has one click options for turning the dome on/off, or turning it it by various degrees, toning lights, ground on/off, etc. I haven't explored everything yet but I can tell it is going to be very useful to me. Clothing and hair used in renders: Paige braides, Riona hair, Gemini warrior outfit & Mischievious nymph outfit.




(I don't recall which tones I selected for this last one).
What was used to make this image?Looks like 3DU Paige and this outfit: https://www.daz3d.com/dforce-morning-bloom-outfit-for-genesis-8-females
What was used to make this image?Looks like V4 or G2 fairy dress & the fairy herself looks like 3DU's Paige
Loving Daz3DThey're all good but I always have a soft spot for renders like Paige & similar characters.
Why most older and some new hairs don't look as realistic as they couldThere are two Phils.
PhilW’s hair products produced this way are in the store. https://www.daz3d.com/paige-hair-for-genesis-8--3-females
Philemo’s plug-in for Carrara has been released. See same thread linked above.
Who's Next to Join the G8 Family?I believe that Paige 8 refers to Paige by 3d Universe. I searched the store for the figure names listed and found them all except Latonya 8, obviously, and Yoko. When I typed in Yoko, the search returns nothing and says “we found no results for Yoko”. Maybe Yoko is a new PA product not yet released or maybe it is a new gen 8 base figure.
My guess for the next Gen 8 family member is Dragon 8.
Who's Next to Join the G8 Family?New dress today lists a Paige 8 morph. The '8' may simply be a typo. Who may be comming this week? Latonya 8 ... Cat 8 ... Mei Lin 8?
And here I was, excitedly hoping we'd finally get a Lee 8 or Gianni 8 (or Leo 8, considering we haven't had a Spartan-theme for this generation yet). Now I'm expecting a fourth female figure in a row, and I see at least two others on that list that I don't recognize that are female. :(

Thanks!
PhilW Hairs Discussion ThreadAre you planning any version for male hair?
My Morena Hair included a specific male version. Although that is not included specifically for Caitlyn Hair (it is a pretty feminine style), you can try auto-fitting to a male character, I think that should still look pretty good in most cases.
don't you mean Morena hair and Paige hair since you haven't released Caitlyn hair yet. Anyway here's a quick rough render of Kaleb with the male version of Morena Hair and Finn with Paige Hair both work and looke pretty well I think got that classic 70s 80s look and medievil or He-Man Masters Of the Universe look
Any hope for Toon Generation 3?Definitely will work to put a greater mix of characters! I have Paige & Pace as well as the others you mentioned!Sorry, I meant Paige & Pace too but I do have Matt & Megan & they make good high school or college age toon characters.

PhilW Hairs Discussion ThreadThe Paige Hair update to include Genesis 3 Female is already live and so should appear in the Update list if you use Daz Install Manager.
PhilW Hairs Discussion ThreadJust a note to let people know that I have submitted an update to Paige Hair to add support for Genesis 3 Female, sorry it's taken a while but I wanted to get Morena Hair out of the door. It should be available as an update fairly soon - it has already been tested OK by Daz.
Why is Kyle So Blue?Not sure, but possibly, it looks like to me 'Kyle' has 3DL shaders applied and then was rendered in iRay. 3DL shaders will made a character look much paler when rendered in iRay even though they under go an automatic iRay conversion to iRay materials when iRay rendering starts in DAZ Studio.
I had an issue recently where I inadvertantly applied 3DL shaders to Paige & Pace from 3DU and when I tried to apply the iRay shaders to them to correct my mistake the iRay shaders would not apply although I got no error message. I finally had to use the DAZ 3D UberiRay converter preset to convert Paige & Pace back to iRay shaders, which is there default. Then I could apply the 3DU supplied iRay shader materials to Pace & Paige again.

Movement morphs for Paige Hair by PhilWThanks for the suggestion. It might not be easy at this stage but I've been meaning to add Genesis 3 support to Paige Hair so I'll see what I can do.
Stylized characters? (morphs, models, etc?)Sakura 8 is your best option if you are interested in a traditional Anime look for your 3D characters
Aiko 8 is the latest incarnation of the DAZ character previously designed for Anime enthusiasts, although the later versions have tended more towards realism. Nevertheless, the figure remains quite stylized, if not Anime perse.
Dolly for Genesis 8 Female is a toonish variation.
Another toonish option are the Paige and Pace characters for Genesis 8 Female
There is also Kayma for Genesis 8 Female and Hanna for Genesis 8 Female.
The Toon Generation line by 3D Universe is also available, but its only for Genesis 3.
As for morph packages that are strictly collections of stylized morphs, I am not aware of any specifically, although usually morphs can be mixed and matched.
Perhaps if you could be a little more specific about what style of character you are looking for, that might elicit more responses.
If, however, you are looking for some package that would allow you to create virtually anything that you might imagine, that definitely does not exist, which is why vendors use modelling programs to create their distinctive characters.
