    Shameless self-promotion!!

    Here's an image that uses the Animated Sets: http://www.daz3d.com/gallery/#images/86451/

    I think I use the Animated Sets for almost everything I use nowadays. (Photorealism is the bunk! Photorealism only invites people's criticisms about texture maps and silly stuff like that.) I have a bunch of characters I've made with these sets. I'm quite looking forward to any other projects you release.

    Okay, I grabbed him, but still looking for the females; any word or ETA?

    Nice work, as always. I'd still like to see some more Doc Thunder. ;-)

    Still no word on the animated females, or is that being scrapped? It has been almost 9 months since the preview was first shown in this thread, and almost a year on other sites. Just wondering.

    Ha! Thanks, Walt. I think Doc Thunder was a casualty of my last hard drive crash, but he seemed bright enough to figure out a way back from a minor setback like that.  wink

    July was when they had apparently entered the "QA process".

    Just picked up Captain Commando and came up with this quick sketch already. I wanted to post it and say what a fun product it is.

    I was thinking about this last night and I remember hearing about some vendor's frustrations over the QA and release process. It may not have anything to do with TheSix and more to do with DAZ and how they schedule their releases. I'm not trying to lay the blame at anyone's feet, mind you. Just passing along what I heard. Personally, I would love a female set or two to match the male sets as my recent images have been very guy-heavy. Hopefully sometime soon...

    I don't think that's the case. Some people have shown some items and had them released within a week or two of the preview.

    Hey, in the absence of any real news, people start spreading rumors. I was just doing my share. At least I didn't go for my usual "kidnapped by aliens" rumor.

    And others have shown previews and we've never seen the items released. The PAs sometimes show the previews before they've passed through QA; if it doesn't pass QA, it means it's thrown back for revisions or bug fixes. In the case of the females, we know there was at least one bug that had to be fixed, and we know that it want back to QA. If QA found something else, it's the whole fix-resubmit-QA cycle over again. We know that in the first week of August it was still in QA for the second time, hopefully not much longer. We know it's not the PAs holding things up (llke anyone, they'd like to be paid sooner rather than later), so maybe there's an upcoming Toon Day or something similar in the PA sales event. I'm sure Muscleman and The Six are just as eager as we are (if not more so) to see them hit the store. wink

    Wow!  Just found this thread cool

    Have the whole animated line and am eagerly awaiting the girls laugh

    Used the Animated shapes to re-imagine the Metal Men over the weekend.  Huge props to RAMWolff and wsterdan for invaluable input on Iron and Lead.

    I hope the Mods won't hold it against me for posting this here because I really want The Six and Muscleman to see this blush

    Here are The Metal Men, rebooted.  Will wait for the Animated Female Shapes because I want to re-do Platinum (Tina) wink

     

    Gold:

     

    Mercury:

    Iron:

    Which shader pack did you use for that golden appearance? It makes me think these would be great to adapt into award statues.

    Actually I think the finish on Gold does make him look like an Oscar laugh

    And they were rendered in Reality 4.1/Lux 1.5, taking about an hour each.  Gold used the Universal Preset for 24K Gold, Mercury and Iron, the new Universal Preset for Car Paint, and Lead the Material Setting for Lead.

    I have no doubt that the same effect can be achieved with Shader packs for Iray.  I just got Mec4D's pack but haven't used it yet.  But considering its range a similar Oscar finish should be achievable with it cool

    Ehy awesome works!

    Many thanks for the kind words, Sphinx Magoo and Muscleman blush

    Sorry for the uberlate response: my PC crashed and it seems the videocard finally died sad

    And I think a similar look can be achieved with a PBR or software that the user knows really well angel

    I just posted this image (http://www.daz3d.com/gallery/#images/90203/) to my Gallery, and I realized that I have an awful lot of men in my images and not too many women. Then I realized that most of those male images use the Animated Shapes in one form or another.

    Jeepers.

    I guess I really like this product!   laugh

  • wsterdanwsterdan Posts: 2,349

    I guess it's my turn to ask, any updates on the female package?

    I suspect that G3F versions are in the pipeline and that's slowing things down.

     

  • XenomorphineXenomorphine Posts: 2,421

    G3F compatibility was asked about and the answer was that G2F was what was planned for and G3F might be something for the future.

    The thing is, it already went through quality approval a long while ago...

    Well, we know it got bumped back from QA at least once and was resubmitted, we don't know if it made it through the second time. While I'm all for G3F and G3M versions, I am getting a little antsy as I'd hoped to be using the G2F pack by now for a project I'm starting.sad

    Hopefully one of the guys will let us know what the current status is so we can plan accordingly.

    Asked this a while back, don't believe I got an answer. Is the hair on the guy in jeans the animated hair from the bundle? If so, how was the look achieved? Can't seem to replicate it.

    Thanks very, very much for taking the time to give us an update. Very sorry to hear things might not be going too well at the moment, hopefully things will improve in the New Year.

    Thanks again, and take care.
