Fine I guess I'll make the TEEN KOLA 8.1 thread

Thank you, Lee. I ended up having a play with adding in some Kwan and his HD. Didn't manage to fix the eyelashes.

Adult Kola, default:

 

Adult Kola, remembered leg day, dehydrated. (Kwan plus vascular plug-in):

 

Looks a little like RDJ in Tropic Thunder...

it appears the village is just one big scene with no individual props or anything? 

It's a bunch of props grouped together. The environment is quite large. 

Here is one screen shot out of the box, looking down one street and includes a HDRI background. The other is an overhead screen shot. 

Edit: Added a third screen shot.

thanks. Can the individual buildings be used as props without the entire scene? One thing I noticed from your images, it appears each block contains the same buildings used multiple times. not a big deal as you cant see all of them at once anyway, but that huge size not really needed if you can just use one block at a time

 

You can save the grouped assets into individual props.

I selected all of the grouped assets, right clicked and unparented all of the props. First screen shot shows a few made visible in the scene tab,
Made all but one visible, centered it for the icon and saved it as a prop asset.  Reloaded to make the second screen shot. 

So pure obj files, without any bones for the doors or windows, to open them when needed? Makes not buying quite easy for me

thanks for all that. Awesome. Now buying that goes higher up the wishlist pole :) Actually will buy when I get my coupon on March 1

Here's a few tests with the teen version, no tweaks or HD.

With the other Daz Original 8.1 kiddo, neither with HD here (Teen Kola also problems with eyelash placement?)

Adult Kola, Teen Kola, and freakish child-gymnast Kola (adult version with the Growing Up morph applied)

Genesis 8.1 Male is not looking good so far to me. The only unqualified successes for me are Wolfgang, Torment, Zale, and Ebeneezer. Either the morph or the skin is dodgy in the rest. Senator Greaves was a miss on both from my perspective. Four out of thirteen (not counting August) is less than 33%.

Genesis 8 Male was 75% (24 of 32) successful to me. Below optimum skin: Lucas, Landon, Sanjay, Elios, Leroy, Scar, Niko.  Weak morph: Jonathan.

They are wearing the suit under the Intergalactic Soldier Armor with one of their texture add-on.

Thank you!  I looked for quite some time for this!  Are you aware of any other renders of this portion of that outfit?  If so, could you point me to them?  I'm not a fan of the armor, but this undersuit may be useful, and I'd like to get a better look at it.

Agreed on just about all points.

Not a problem, I did some renders for you (with Kola 8.1 wearing them) of the shirt and pants and its texture add-on. I remember I bought it precisely because someone shared renders of the under suit.

Since I was already loading Kola, I took a moment to test him out. I agree that his skin looks too smooth with little coloring variation.

I tried cranking the normal map up (value from 1 to 2) to see if that added something. Not sure if it looks better or not, tbh. I do not have the HD add-on so mixing in some other character's HD might work to make him more interesting.
