    the characters I render are usually mature adults between 25-35. I'm not interested in kids or teens.  I could use extras like body hair and beard stubble and that sort of thing. 

    I may eventually buy George however I do not have current need for a character that shape.

    That is the beauty of George, he is very versitile. This is a WIP of an image I am working on and this is all George (the HD morphs, iray textures) with a few DAZ morphs. Matter of fact I have used George as a base for my last few male renders and most don't come close to the original shape.

    That's exactly why I bought him, he can add his texture and some of his genes to other characters and morphs.

    Wow, I like that! Spot render those eyes to get rid of the noise, and paste the spot renders in with Photoshop, and I'd believe it was a photo. Really great work!

    I like George so much I GenX'ed him across generations and genders. Of course I can't use the HD that way, but I still like what he offers even without the HD.

    Here is George 80% with Reptilian 6. He beefs up that Reptilian nicely.

    That is pretty cool barbult! I have put off getting genX, but I think it's about time now seeing that, LOL

    Thanks on the render, it was just a 3 minute test to show, still got some more to do with the scene before the final.

    I'm REALLY tempted to get George even though I don't do G3, just to transfer him over. But missing HD and skin texture... mmph.

    Looks nice my friends. I think you've convinced me. Next time he is on sale I will buy him. =-)

    That was pretty fantastic for 3 minutes!

    Those are great.   George was a much needed figure; hence his popularity.   Everybody is NOT doing renders with idealized people in every scene.  You need characters that can also represent the "everyman" to add some realism to scenes.  I don't know about anyone else, but I have never been to anyplace in the world where all the guys look like Brad Pitt, and all the women look like Charlize Theron  (and if any of you have let me know where it is so I can muck it up by making an appearance wink ).

    People are thriving for "realism", and yet most of their art lacks realism in the one of the most obvious aspects,  the amount of variety that you find in people.

    Glad we have some PA's that are in the game as a labor of love and not exclusively for money.

    I'm very fond of using George's shape to add aging details and/or face weight too. I've seen plenty of my own efforts as well as the great images on this thread, and I've seen George slimmed down here and elsewhere usng his morph sliders too. It occurred to me that I don't think I've ever seen what his skin looks like on a slim person with none of the added morphs or HD, so here George is on Michael 7 (erm... George Michael :) ). He's just as handsome without the pie habit, but I do think losing it makes him look a bit older, which is no bad thing when that's what you're after. I've had to wishlist his expansions for the moment (the idea of expanding someone the size of George made me smile when I saw it too :) ), but even without them he's an incredibly versatile character and is one of those I use the most.

    George is indeed a marvelous creature, though I have yet to purchase him, but I think most folks overlook the option to create their own folks of large (or other) stature and hope that some kind soul will create the entire population of the images that they wish to create. Again, I do respect Deapsea's work, but wish that folks would spin the dials themselves a little more often to see what they can do for themselves.

    Based on forum threads that circle around the addon characters that are released by DAZ I am truly amazed at how few actually do create their own characters and how many are dependant on plug and play addons. But that can be a good thing for vendors and those that want to be more unique with their work.

    It took many months to create George alone. I did not for the success or money. I did it because I love him. All the products I offer it will be a love story.

    I'am sorry for my bad English, I'm a French guy.

    Thank you for making him! He's in my wish list (I'm broke right now, but definitely plan on getting him). All the renders I've seen of him really makes me realize how much work must have went into him. He's very realistic and such a high quality character. Awesome work - I agree with other comments about you deserving an award for that character.

    I hear what you are saying. I do like to dial various characters and morphs to create characters. I buy some but not all of the base characters and very very few add on characters. Most look pretty much the same to me. But George is not just a big man shape. He has JCMs to adjust his movement to accommodate the extra size. He has a fabulous HD morph. He has an interesting older man skin. I suppose with weeks or months of effort (if I had the skill) I could create JCMs for a dialed character, but I could not create HD details. So even though I like "rolling my own" characters, I'm very happy I bought George.

    Like with Poses, the characters are a starting point. No offense to your 'dial-spinning only', but a pre-made character, like a pre-made pose, is simply a time saver for me. I then give them the finishing by spinning the dials for the extra details I want.

    in addition, most characters come with their own unique skin, and that is another time saver for me.

    I don't know what I love more, the fact that the creator took the time to grace the thread or the reason why he created George. Hell, I'll go with both! :)

    I'm glad I revisited this thread. I just bought George Expandable. I can't wait to have some more fun!

    It took a little longer than I thought, but am happy for now.  Will re-do it when the Dazplug-in to make clothing dynamic hits the store so I can make George's suit drape properly.

    George would be a good Kingpen or the Blob in Marvel Comic books. I'm trying to think of a fat good guy in Marvel Comics and the best I can come up with is the lawyer Foggy from Daredevil who really is nothing more than a little pudgy.

    Wilson Fisk (The Kingpin of Crime wink ) may have been in my subconscious when I did this

    To me, George has the appearance of the way some larger than life people used to look during the late 19th/early 20th Century laugh  He's an amazing "character actor" heartyes

    There was a somewhat brief time where the members of the Brotherhood worked for the US government, so Fred J. Dukes (The Blob) was nominally a good guy, as were Mystique, Pyro and the others at that time.

    Well, I'm too old to have read any of those new story lines, or rather once comic prices when of $0.65 I quit buying comics, well maybe I bought a total of 2 dozen over the decades since, almost all of them when I was in a very long AIT. I did at one time have many of the #1 and new series of comics like the New X-Men before I gave them to my brother so they were lots of fun. All from finding a empty plastic Slurpee cup from 7-11 with a picture of the Thing on it. laugh

    I just bought George Expandable and was shocked to see that the body shapes distort the teeth quite badly. Going back and looking at the original George product (which I love), I see that the teeth get rounded and separated with the George morph, too, but not nearly as bad as the expandable shapes.George Expandable is not a new product anymore. I would have thought that by now this would have been discovered and fixed. Has anyone already reported this issue?

    This image is George HD with George Expandable Body Shape 1 applied. I can't believe this teeth scalloping and separation is intentional.

    That is great! I love George and was excited to get the Expandable set and the poses to go with him. Thank you for participating in the forum and addressing our questions here, too. The original George morph also curves and separates the teeth a little bit. Does the original George morph need an update also?

  • DeepseaDeepsea Posts: 119

    I made an update of George Expandable  to fix distort teeth when bodies shapes are applied. I upload it to pass and needs to be approved by Daz before its update. You should receive this update soon.

    The original George mouth shape has separates teeth a little bit because George is an old man and his teeth are not perfect. I hope you spend a good time with George and this Add-On.

    Thank you for your support

    What is there not to like about George?  He has a great skin texture, a fantastic shape that bends incredibly well and is a brilliant morph source for mixing. Until Zev's Aging Morphs finally got released, there were very few adult male characters I made that weren't getting a little bit of George DNA, and I don't doubt that he stole quite a bit of Ivan's thunder. Glad to hear about the fix for the Expandable set and it's in my cart now. :)     

     

  • Already have the poses. Picked up the Expandable set also. Thank you for your hard work. It is very much appreciated. I use George and/or his textures all the time. Never a dissapointment.
