Pablo is probably the most handsome man I've ever seen coming out of Daz3D. I felt so smitten just looking at him, like wow! I can't wait to see what Lee 8.1 will look like, or whoever takes his place!

I liked the body shape and then I got to the face and....meh. I obviously don't have to have a good looking male (I bought Ollie, Dasan and Wolfgang right off the bat without hesitation), but so far, most of the 8.1 line is disappointing. Either the figure is moving away from realism and toward stylized AGAIN (Genesis 2 anyone?) or there's just zero detail, which is my gripe with this one. I mean, his HANDS have more detail than his face does. I've gotta say it - I REALLY, REALLY miss the old art director. I'm just not feelin' this one. **sigh**
I do like his body shape, and his face is nice enough. But alas, not on 8.1 or 4.15.
There are men that look this plain in real life, but I don't need a 3D model of them. But the skin looks good, which is an improvement over Alex what's-his-name.
I'm curious about why he doesn't have an HD version available. I suppose maybe that's in tomorrow's stuff, but I think it's the first time in quite some while that the HD wasn't available on intro day; if he doesn't have one, he may be the first realistic character in quite some time not to have one. (As opposed to the stylized characters, which frequently don't have HD at all.)
Also a bit puzzled by the add-on structure. His official addons are a forest and a female character; the "other debut new stuff" are the texture sets for the clothing actually in his bundle. That's just odd, that is.
He's handsome, I'm half hispanic myself, but why did they use such a fake looking hair in the promos.
They're most probably in the wrong section of the page, add-ons should be the textures and other debut new the character and forest.
He's a buy for me, but at least another day until I can get my desktop PC back up and running. Can't play with him until then.
I aways find the product images a bit difficult to work out what I'll end up with, but I like his colouring in kitchen promo pic. I hope he renders a darker tan with a bit of fiddling.
The hair looks like Linday's Short Wet Hair, to me. They should've used other hair shaders on it, because in those promos it looks like he used way too much hair gel.
I agree, he looks handsome. (That Darius mix, even more so IMHO.) Pablo himself reminds me a bit of Jazz and Alex Capitol though (could be because of the same art direction?) But I don't have these two G8.1Ms, so it's not a problem for me. I also like that he appears to be about the same age as many of the DAZ women.
His face reminds me a lot of m8.1. His expressions and the movement of his lips sort of look toony to me. There is no edge to his face. Is this hd? Body is not bad. He has raided Torment's closet though and they leant him their latest blazer outfit? Content in the bundle is lackluster, might be more interesting tomorrow.
I will pick up the base but that's it. I just don't need Mariachis or more fab fushia pants suit and Mohawks.
I like him, I'm puchasing him now. I'm glad he comes with eyebrows.
The bundle? No. I don't need more men's suits with lumpy, unrealistic collars and lapels. I can reuse the stuff I have for M4 that looks like that if I'm desperate. There are clothing creators who have proven they don't have to look that way.
I have to wonder why Daz keeps using these vendors. I've typically stopped buying bundles altogether because it's these same vendors showing up in all the Daz Original bundles where clothes are consistently lumpy and ill-shapen, with shoulders and torsos that stretch and bend to oblivion and back...both masculine and feminine items.
Once in a while, you see Mada stuff pop up in Daz Original bundles, and that is one vendor who, as you said above, has proven that clothing can and should be able to move without turning to spaghetti.
The supposed incentive to get up to 5 items for $3.50 each has many items from the PC for a Day sale, so $3.50 is actually MORE expensive. I do like the character as a stand alone. I will wait and see if there is a better pile of goodies tomorrow, but probably not getting the bundle.
Also, it looks like the sales page has the bundle add-ons mixed up with other new releases. Shouldn't the textures for the bundle outfits be the add-ons?
I like him. He was the best bundel in a while for me.
Love the character, not in need of the rest of the bundle. Ain't no mariachis in the bright far future.
Fantastic character! Definitely one of my favorite guys, especially lately.
I'm just wondering why virtually all the items for $3.50 that come with his bundle are $1.99 for everyone, bundle or not, or have been $1.99 in the past couple of days. Not very exciting. So I might hold off and see if there's a better deal later on.
Synthpop must suck as a genre if it can't incorporate "ethnic beats" the way metal can, for example. The future [of music] is truly doomed. But then, I shouldn't expect anything less from a generic Cyberpunk Dystopia. :P
Noska, Juan Carlos, Milawa, and Niko must team up to save DAZland, and they've inadvertently taken poor Pablo along for the ride. Maybe this is where Jacqueline and her friends come in. It's the crossover event these bundles have been hinting at all along...
He's a hottie. Just the other day I was actually thinking, it would be nice to have a Maluma look-a-like character. Pablo isn't quite that, but not too far off, either... maybe with some dial spinning one could get there.
I'd love to see closeups of his face if anyone who got him cares to render a couple of images. The character looks good at some angles and I'm trying to work out what he really looks like. I'm hoping the angles where his nose looks flattened is due to lighting rather than sculpt. I can't tell because in other promo pics it doesn't look as flat.
I'm not getting the bundle as there is nothing in it I want, but perhaps the next bundle might be more interesting.
I didn't get Alex what's-his-name either. LOL
AMEN!, to no more Mariachis!!!
Well, I am offering my first render in weeks. Found that dForce doesn't work for some reason but no issue, just took the hood's cutout opacity to zero. This Pablo 8.1 with his eyebrows, his eyes, FE Short Haif Vol 4 , Perfect Portrait Lights, Dystopian HD Outfit and Demon King Fighter Poses and Props scene Mayan Ruins.
I tried dialing in a number of other HD shapes for 8.1 and 8 males and other than a couple extreme ones, there was very little improvement that I could see to his face. It looks like the HD is built into his body almost. But I will be the first to admit I am no expert or even close to competent, so this is just what I could see on my screens.
As far as the theme, well, I grew-up in Southern California and regardless of my last name, it is part of my life experience. Just like all the other regional music I have experienced where ever I have lived. So long as it is not 'disco'.
I love Urban Fantasy, High Fantasy and Sci-Fi Fantasy.
And as I did this, I watched Captain Kirk take off on Blue Origin into space. Star Trek lives.

He looks attractive but I really don’t need more males. Didn’t look that closely at the bundle yet. Sometimes I use male clothing on my female characters but I don’t think the content in this bundle will work for that.
The first few images on these DO characters always show the skin looking like plaster or wax, but the later ones, (PA? Hired out?) look much better. I often find my renders also look much better than those initial dry plaster/wax looking ones. I’ve passed on many characters because of those renders and when I eventually got the bundle at a much more significant discount was happily surprised the skin was much better than the main promos and the character looked much better too. Why they keep posting those initial renders with bad skin and lighting is beyond me. Even without postwork and the default HDRI, the skin/character always look much better than the main promos. (And with a few tweaks I can make it even better.)
Looking at it more carefully, I see that the eyes look really great, but the lips, knees, elbows, forearms, and back look awful to me.
I will probably get him at some point, probably not now because the deal isn’t that good and due to the recent sale on G2s, I’m going to play with some non-realistic characters that don’t crash DS for a while.
As far as I can see the offer is open to non-members too, and for them those items will not be $1.99.
I’m on an iPad and really zooming in and I REALLY like his eyes. The lips just get worse and I don’t like the little wrinkles near his eyebrows. But I could see getting him just for his eyes at one point.
Yeah but this is PC+ sale and there’s literally no incentive to buy with the current offer.
Is Day of the Dead & Halloween the same thing?
