Babina 8

The Blurst of Times

Wonderland said:

How are her expressions? I noticed on the Zeddicus promos they look pretty horrific which is odd because Zeddicus usually does some of the best expressions...

Babina's face is kind of different in some ways, with the pointy chin and the way it curves.

I think maybe some of the camera angles just don't work right all the time. Her face is pretty in some angles, and then kind of a wreck in others.

So Penny gets the crown back in my book. Babina gets a lesser dial when I dial in partials, I think.

Anybody know what the straight long hair is for Babina 8 promo with the light blue 2 piece swim suit.  Appears to be redish brown hair.  

@Siciliano1969 dForce Longdrape Hair for Genesis 3 and 8 Female(s). May I suggest an off-center parted scalp/hair cap to avoid the balding look on those promos IF you can find one that lines up.

@xyer0 how can this be done, with the hair caps?  This Dforce long hair is pretty sparse at the scalp

@ALLIEKATBLUE I don't have that hair, but if I did, I would look for a hair with a believable hairline (which unfortunately narrows the choices severely). Comb through (pun intended) any AprilYSH, Mairy, or SAV hairs that you have in order to find a hair that has a part in the same place as the PhilW hair (and also has a hairline height morph). Some Mairy hairs have movable parts or mirrored versions. Once you find a few candidates, pick the most likely, load it, and apply a hair colour close to the one you intend to use on the PhilW hair. Uber convert to Iray if necessary. Go to Surfaces and turn off the Cutoff Opacity on all the surfaces EXCEPT the scalp/hair cap (or whatever it's called on your chosen hair). Now morph it until you get the hairline and part lined up with the PhilW hair. It IS theoretically possible, but you have to find a hair with a part in the right place or morphable.

ok thanks I will try this

Pardon me, @ALLIEKATBLUE, I forgot to mention that I'd been trying to recreate the look of that PhilW hair using hairs I already had, and I needed to do scalp transplants for SAV Sonia Hair and others to get them closer. I used Keiron Hair (but the temples are pointy, which is a more masculine trait, and the points may come forward too much for you). There's also Orson Hair, Helena Hair, Layla Hair, Delphi Hair (which I didn't like too much as an option).

I think that Babina 8 is generally cute enough, but doesn't have anything that causes her to stand out IMHO, like many of the other characters. I know that this sale is very underwhelming with just the 20% discount, which seems to be available in most of the other cells that I have participated in. I also feel that the clothes that are included have not helped me to feel the need to purchase this pro pack. Some have mentioned that we should gauge are purchases just on the character and not on the included stuff, I would say sometimes the included stuff definitely pushes the right buttons to help with the purchase. I have 33 of the generation 8 base figures, and a great many of them are pro packs with a few starter packs mixed in. And I would say that when the sale has included other items in the pro pack that I have enjoyed, as well as the selection of free stuff that we have grown accustomed to, whether it be other generation Pro packs or a selection of items from several categories, without these items it doesn't seem like much of a sale. I am also shocked hat how short of a period they have given us to purchase this pro pack with the coupon, it appears to me that there is more the "Buy It Now" pressure, which I personally don't respond well to.

Why was Babina 8 debut promo removed so quickly? It only lasted a day!

Here are my first few Babina renders.

A superficial scan of the surfaces between Babina 8 and Victoria 8 doesn't pick up a lot of difference. Babina uses the Top Coat, and Victoria does not. There's slightly different weighting on Victoria, but those small shifts shouldn't be THAT dramatic.

The eyes? I didn't look at them. Sometimes, artists use Diffuse maps that are extremely jaundiced and bloodshot out of the box, IMO. Really unhealthy looking sclera to me, while others might prefer it as "realism". Eyes just vary so much.

Dunno, as a whole package. Maybe it's just a trick of the lighting. I prefer how Babina reacts to light, but she's not all that different than Victoria. Maybe we're all just better with Iray than we used to be. It's the subconscious corrections that we know how to do.

.........

One more Babina out of the box.

She has rib bone definition, which isn't a universal thing.

I like her face from some angles better than other angles. So maybe Penny still keeps her crown as the cutest in my book.

Thank you that's interesting! I have to admit the renders of her in this thread are all fantastic as well which led me to believe she has better shaders but indeed maybe it's just your'all so good with iray lighting! I'm fairly impressed.

Which “debut promo”? She’s still on sale as part of the PA sale, and I still have my purple banner (with a different coupon code), I don’t see what changed...

They usually have the sliding graphic banner that has the link to the different savings. That's gone.  And I never got a purple banner. :(

Have a bit of fatigue with all the female characters lately, however I really like Babina, she's got great skin material and fantastic eyes!

I might be blind, but where i the original outfit for these textures?
https://www.daz3d.com/dforce-boho-days-outfit-textures_OziChick

I'm worried that the base outfit won't be released today before the 20% off coupon expires.  I want the textures, but need the outfit.  If it happens the they don't get it in the store before the coupon exprires, how will we stilll get the 20% off? Someone has already put in a ticket, but should more of use do it? Or will Daz say 'oops sorry too bad'.

How we make a ticket for something like this? Where do you go?

Click "Help" at the top of the bar and click "Contact Us" on the next page that opens, and then click "Submit ticket."

That's where you would go to submit the request. I'm not sure if you'll need to take a screenshot of your cart or your coupon, or what they'll want in specific, but I'd go ahead and submit the request. I don't know if they'll be willing to give you the discount later, but they have responded in the past to when there was a mistake on the sale with an option to pick something up, so there's a chance they might.

Good luck with that.

That's where i went but it looks like the regular think

I filed a ticket with a screenshot of my banner. I didn't put anything in my cart since I was waiting for the outfit to show up.

 

had a reply yet? Been a few days now. Still no sign of that outfit as far as I've noticed but I've been getting purple banners everyday for 20% off different codes but still same deal so maybe go all through sale if your lucky then of course it may not be released during this sale too

I don't like the name 'Babina' but I do think she has something to offer...

Rendered in 3Delight. Tweaked in the Gimp.

She is using the out of the box material settings which seem to have been improved compared to previous core characters'. This is my first attempt using a dforce hair; I had been worried my laptop would not be able to cope but there were no problems and it seems to render faster.

Still would like to see user renders of expressions on her... Especially a big smile. Or even a sexy come hither look. A lot of characters look great at their default but the minute you open their mouth, yikes!

The Blurst of Times

Series of CDI Babina expressions plus 1 Kala 8 Mixable (Seducing).

Nothing fancy.

I prefer the mixable-style expressions rather than posed full faces.

Thanks for showing her with different expressions.  Your renders are great but poor Babina really needs to see a dentist lol. What’s with the yellow dirty teeth? And all the teeth look the same size...  I think this one will be relagated to waiting for when a better sale comes along. I never use a character as is anyway, but this would just be extra work fixing those teeth!

And this reminds me. There is a certain PA who makes the most stunning characters—as long as their mouth is closed. The minute I add a smile, I have to correct the surfaces on the teeth which looks like the teeth of an 80 year-old and even use the Y axis to move either the top or bottom teeth. I wish creators would check their characters with several expressions.

Actually human beings teeth are naturally shades of grey-yellow as that's the natural color of the mineral compounds from which they are made. The Pantone RGB (0,0,0) white teeth of modern Hollywood look totally unnatural. In fact, sometimes when I am watching old TV series and old movies and I see healthy but non-plastic teeth in the actors mouths I can't help but smile about it. So I will keep smiling and showing those yellow teeth regardless and even characters in fictional renders should too.

LOL... yeah, let me take a look at the Tooth Surface, that's an interesting DiffuseOHMYGOSH WHAT IN THE LORD'S NAME IS THAT?!!!

I think I found the trouble with Babina's teeth.

That Diffuse map is definitely towards the yellow-brown end of tooth coloration. And she has 0.00 in the Glossy Layer...

I guess I just don't look at Tooth surfaces that often.

Yes, exactly that one, out of the Kala 8 Pro Bundle. 

Hair is usually something that I buy Pro Bundles for.

The Blurst of Times

There. Cleaned her teeth.

I took out the Diffuse map with the brown teeth. I increased the Translucency Weight to add some color back to the teeth. (It uses the same brown tooth diffuse as the trans map.) I increased the Glossy weight...

Forgot to switch to Low Translucency for the skin, though. Oops.
