    Operation Arrowhead outfit... The pants... That groin... What am I looking at? Why? 

    Looks like instead of a case of the crabs he has one big case of the crab. laugh

    I don't seem to be able to open it. It does have a swing forward, swing back, and shoulder strap adjustment. I quite like it. 

    The only other bag, in the store comes with this set that I can recall: https://www.daz3d.com/day-at-the-office-outfit-for-genesis-3-male-s

    Hmm. Wish they hadn't shown it being opened in the promos; that's kind of deceptive.

    I have that other bag, but it's a hand bag/briefcase. It has a shoulder strap, but it's just for decoration, unfortunately.

    The bag has bones that are rigged to flip the flap.

    Cool. I couldn't find an option to open it. Good to know you can do it manually

    The scootering poses https://www.daz3d.com/scootering-poses-and-props-for-genesis-8 are a lot of fun. There is an included bike, and helmet, in multiple colors. This pa does things a bit differently, to apply the pose you select your characters, and the bike, and apply all three at once. Depending on the order that you select the characters, depends on whether one character sits in front or back of the bike. It only works in 4.12  the scripts will error out ins 4.11.    The passenger character is always female. The pose works on any g8 though.... You may need to adjust.

    To use the poses individually, you do need to find their exact location. There is no art, so you will need to intuit which one is which. While I do like the script approach, I would also like the option to apply whichever pose I want to, without using it. So, for me- having the option to use the poses in the traditional way would be good. This would easily allow me to mix and match the couples poses. 

    One again, I used dreamlight's getaway HDRI, which I quite like. 

    To do the tires, you can use your circle-shapped lasso in photoshop to outline the tires. Then use the radial blur to make them rotate.

    On the subject of the messenger bag, the control to open it is on the messenger bag 'lid'

    Yeah, it looks like he is smuggling a dungeoness king crab down there!

    AUGH! back to being frustrated again!

    On the one hand, I really do not want or need anything else in that package. They did just convert the female harness and holster, and I can easily kitbash the clothes (and have, even). On the other hand, encouraging creators of male content. On the other other hand, I really would like that messenger bag.

    Maybe put it on the wishlist and get it either at the end of July when it comes off new item status, or during the PA Festival in September/October.

    I like the bag, the turtleneck, the shirt, and the glasses are okay. So I opted to keep it even if there was the strange pants.  For some reason I dont enjoy putting in tickets. I think its the multiple... Questions to categorize and recategorize the ticket problem. sad One such question is plenty.

    I kind of think the tattoos are cool from a video game perspective. He looks inspired by Darwin's Mishap's style but unique so not too much.

    dforce downtime casual outfit for G8M is a new release featuring a plain almost clay render shirt, heavily stiched pants, and some great flipflops. Here I showed you how it looks both with and without dforce. I'm not loving this. It needs better texturing and dforcing it took some time, with limited results. It comes both tucked and untucked. Shown without and with dforce for comparison. It isn't awful, but, its just very... underwhelming. A nice texture, and some styling would make that shirt far more interesting.

    On the subject of men's new releases here we have Adriano for Genesis 8 Male. Adriano includes a mankini which also has a thong preset. For obvious reasons, neither are shown here. wink 

    For me, including underwear with a male figure, is a sure guarantee of me buying it. For some reason, I can't get enough of men's underwear. And I know I'm not the only one. 

    Anyway, Adriano includes a beard, gen materials, eye colors, and the standard fixings. His body type is slighly plump, which I think is somewhat refreshing.  The freckles are wonderful. I can see this is a character that will be useful to kitbash.

    He appears to have a rather large bottom yes .  Which isn't something you generally see on a daz man.

    Reminds me of Banshee from Marvel Comics New X-Men if you've seen those comics.

    Thanks for the tip on the camera coverage product- I missed that one entirely!

    yes, I really like his plump body. Having used him for a few days though, I find his head is a bit... Mask like. It seems stiff to me.

    That is a highly underrated product. I think it could be used for some really dramatic scenes. I'm thinking of trying to do something similar with two g8's. It seems really useful to have the camera angles set up in such a dramatic way. What a cool idea!

    Agreed!  I was also thinking of interesting ways of using this for promo work, as well as working on the story between my partner and I.. so many uses.

    I think it would be interesting to make a series of poses and specific cameras to catch the action, you could write or make a very good comic this way. Especially with more yawing of the camera. 

    I decided to try this.... It is kind of intriguing.

    Then just upload it. Nothing going on but two g8m's wearing basic wear undies. But if you change the figures and add, some posing, you will have the cameras angled just right. 

    If you wanted to be fancy, you could add specific camera widths, lighting and an environement. 

    I'd honestly pay money for more stuff like this. I have enough of the usual.

    I love a good ginger and I'm intrigued by Adriano's skin. Not really into the other aspects of him.

  • Serene NightSerene Night Posts: 17,648

    Adriano's skin is really good. The area around his eyes is weirdly light though. I had to go in and darken it a touch, since it is distracting.

    Maybe he wears sun glasses? Or has no allergies, gets enough sleep, and brows that project more than usual over the lower face although that sculpt doesn't show it. laugh Adriano does look Italian though.

    He has a noticible whitish pinkish skin colored blob on his mats around his eyes. It looks... Sort of okay in some lights, but when I applied the skin to owen, it looked like white eyeliner. I did not care for the look.

    I wanted the mention the new https://www.daz3d.com/ry-ricardo-for-genesis-8-male.  He is an interesting character in that he is ambigiously ethnic, a little anime, and aggressively non muscular.  I added a bit of muscle (because I could!) but here he is:

    He looks good! I like his shirt too. I passed on him initially, but may pick him up. I think he's sweet looking.

    Oh, I was just going by Rendo listing. I find also, in both DAZ 3D products and Rendo products, that if the lighting I use it's the right 'sort' of lighting the skin material are often all these sorts of unnatural colors. Dain 8 was the last character I bought with that trait but I don't buy many. In some sorts of lights he looks green.

  • nonesuch00nonesuch00 Posts: 18,131

    Yeah, I think that character is excellently done too. And dang, where is that beach? I want to visit it (I know I can't afford it though unless it's a loooong drive to southern California somewhere)!

    He has an unusual description for a Raiya product:

    Getting bored by all the stereotypical-hypermasculine male characters in your library? Add some variety with Ricardo

    This mixed-ethnicity character includes Head and Body Morphs with separate Head and Body HD details (resolution 4), various Face and Eye Colors options, and High-Quality Textures created from scratch from HD photo resources.

    Whether you want him to be a K-pop singer, a boy next door or aspiring male model, Ricardo won't let you down - get RY Ricardo today!

    I think the beach is in Maui. I think Ricardo is mine. But... Have to see if there is anything else I want.

    I think Ricardo would be fascinating in the Extreme Closeup Plumes Geoshell Makeups for Genesis 8 Female(s), if it could be made to work on him.
