So this is my full render from the Iray preview I posted yesterday. I don't mind the little scratch on her face but I did make myself a second set of face textures that blended it out and if you turn down the SubD to a 1 or 2 the scar just about disappears without effecting the overall look of the character.
The clothes are beautfully detailed!
Wow - she looks beautiful! I'm so glad I picked this up - the fabric also looks so realistic.
Nice!
Turning down the SubD is helpful. I was doing a few renders and I was wondering what was bogging down my potato so much. I didn't even think to look there.
That SubD is not necessarily benefitting every kind of shot, so it's good to bump it down for some kinds of shots (and leaving it there for others).
I think she is awesome, but then I always RP the rogue. :)
So many nice Taras!
This is Tara's texture on sweet Noemi who left her smile at home, most likely a long time ago. Additional schmutz courtesy of Bramble.
Add a breath plume and it's perfect! Excellent render! :)
I just can't take any outfit seriously that has a garter belt worn visibly unless its lingerie. Sorry. It just looks about as odd as wearing underwear outside your pants like superman.
Great renders guys! :) She's quite a unique character. Stylized a bit but still with a lot of realistic details. She definitely has that "video game character" vibe, imo. Very cool!
Yeah, Underbelly is kind of a video game character, too. A really, really nicely done video game character, but still. I could see these two existing in the same universe.
The two larger bundles also come with Fantasy Forest , with waterfalls from floating rocks. It's called "fantasy" for a reason and I'm pretty sure the outfit is aimed at fantasy settings.
Agree, breath plumes needed on all; it ditracts from what should be an excellent render.
Sure. Thats kind of a given. It doesn't get a pass though, just because it is fantasy...It still looks odd to me. But, glad others like it.
I agree like you said she is very stylized (and very cool)! ;-)
Here she is wearing my Daisy skin with some Daisy 8 ears ;-)
Nice - she looks good as an elf. The angular face seems especially well-suited to it.
You really do great work with skins - Alexei was an easy choice when selecting add-ons for the Scar deal. :)
Tara 8, I love the outfit and she is pretty but I do have a few complaints. I have attached an image of the bracer, if you hid the armor on it, the bracer on both arms are in the glove. The whole thing is one peice so I cannot just use Mesh Grabber on this. I was able to hide the armor on the boots there was from polk through but I was able to Mesh Grab them and fix them. The other thing is her eyebrows are looking black but her settings the are red like the hair? (This could possibly be the lighting but I noticed someone elses also did this) The katana and the daggers are one texture! I know the original was not ment for this purpose and thats probably why but dang I couldnt adjust the blade to make it more shiny.
On a good note I was able dforce the dress skirt with using weight mapping to keep the top from distorting.
A quickie since I had her loaded to check how heavy the whole set was anyway.
How I got the swords to show up a little more was use the 3DL material and then use the Iray Uber Base. Otherwise you'd hardly see them here. I mean they look a little nicer up close with the proper Iray materials, but if you want them to stand out against the background, the 3DL mats are a little brighter for some reason.
another, this time with Charlotte 8's skin with Diva's Altern8 settings.

Fair enough. I call the outfit "almost practical". The sensible thing would probably be to have a tunic/dress that is longer than the current one in the outfit, to cover the exposed parts. Or wear proper trousers (or skirt) instead of (or over) the shorts/panties. But then again, that would make it a completely different outfit.
Jen, JEN!! Are you saying that’s Daisy 8s skin??? Hooley Dooley!! I have Daisy 8 but I haven’t played with her yet, and I’m horrendously embarrassed that I didn’t even realise you did her skin!
This render has me kicking my own butt for not using lol, it looks fantastic!
Between your pic here and @Sevrin ‘s mix, I now want Tara lol
I am absolutely and utterly in love with that face shape here!
Awe thank you Jakiblue ;-)
When I built Daisy 8s skin I kept in mind that not everyone would want a fairy character so I tried to add in enough details to make the skin usable on realistic renders without taking away from Thorne's original fantasy feel of Daisy. ;-)
Wow, all these renders using other skins on Tara look absolutely amazing! I picked up the character the other day, tried to dForce the outfit and the program shut off on me, three times in a row. Must not like the computer. Ah well, I'll try to cloth sim it in Blender and see how well it works there. Hopefully I'll have something as good as everyone else's here to post soon :)
Absolute gorgeous renders, well done everyone!
More fun with Tara!
Just Tara for lighting referrence
With Alawa
With Ellithia
Some more if you're interested. I don't have HD for most base characters, so I didn't bother with any.
Addendum: I spent way too much time trying Tara's texture on a bunch of PA characters. Some look really nice! And I think it looks wonderful on the Base G8F character.
I picked up the bundle and can't wait to render her. :)
I decided to see how she'd look with Sahira's skin and I think it suits her really well! Can't wait to play around some more, I like this character a lot.
Yeah, not the greatest bundle - and the inability to remove the scar, which probably means a "expansion texture pack" later - is disappointing. I like that the character isn't your typical symetrical Daz female character. But I do feel like it was designed and promoted to feel like a "core character" when really it is more of a PA character.
With the bundle it was right on the margin, but I should have skipped this one.
Well, I thought I liked her as is, but somehow I ended up making her more like a Thorne doll. Tara is that weird uncanny valley combination of toon and realistic and I decided to just go the toon route. I had a BIG problem with her as I mentioned in another thread. The combination of Tara, Tara hair and this outfit completely froze my computer twice causing me to have to do a hard restart on the computer. (1080 ti, 16GB RAM) So I lowered her from subD4 to 1 (why does a toon character need such a high subD?) and switched out the hair. I don’t know, I thought I really liked her look but I ended up changing it quite a bit. I couldn’t even come up with a creative scene for her, so this is so cliche, but it was 3:00AM and I had no creative ideas...
