Got Michael this morning after someone informed he was out.. Haven't been logged in Renderosity in a while and I never get those discount e-mails...>=(.. Anyways, thought I'd put the King and Queen together to see how they jive.. I think they make a handsome couple... =) This is a very quick render done in Poser.. I used my Kelly Blue Texture on Vicky (head & body) *WIP*, with Michael's EXCELLENT texture from Zygote...No morphs on either Vicky or Mike other than a slight blink on Vicky and smiles for both... =) *Both are right out of the box*...Hard to beat what Zygote did with the texture for Michael .. I love it! .. Only a couple of complaints, the lips aren't aligned perfectly when he smiles, as you can see from the Render.. And the eyes could be more realistic.. The first thing a person looks at when looking at an image of a person is the eyes.. Also I think he's wee too reddish for my taste, but all that can remedied in a paint program... In fact I had to give my Vicky texture more blood (red) and darken it a tad bit so she wouldn't look so pale next to him... The Michael mesh, the texture, and the hair are worth the bucks though, even without the discount... The hair is one of the best trans hairs I've seen too!... Hopes this helps for those undecided about gettin' this hunk of a 3D guy... Finally, we chicks got a cutie to play with.. >=) ..... hehe

Very nice bump map on Vicky. I'm not too fond of the texture for Michael. It is very quality made but it is too pale and pink. Off course, it can easily be used as a base to make other maps. I think both Vicky and Michael are worth every penny. Vicky is a bit harder to play with, but Mike is farely ok out of the box. Thanks for the render.

I didn't use a bump map on the Vicky texture, but happy it looks as though I did...=) Instead I create large maps with lots of grain added to the skin...=) I think it's a lot easier and you get the same effect.. Interesting that the Michael map is using a bump map in the image but yet he still looks as grainy as Vicky.. BTW, no post work other than a smug on the hair.. I agree about the pinkish color on Michael though.. Whoa, that dude needs to stay out of the sun for a while..ha! I also agree that the Zygote texture is a great base and it's a whole lot better than the original Zygote Vicky texture.. I was kinda disappointed in the blonde eyebrows though.. If I want to make a darker guy I'm gonna have to play with the brow color or replace them altogether, but hey I'm happy with it anyway..

I agree about Michael being too red. I've already gone in and desaturated and slightly tanned his coloring. He looks like he either has a very painful sunburn or he's been terribly embarrassed by something. He needs a healthier color, for sure, and darker eyebrows and eyelashes, but you're right, the texture is excellent. It's an actual photograph, whereas, Vickie's wasn't. It was called photorealistic, but it was only a painted texture. I'm having a ball with Michael, he's so cute! Melanie

OH MY GOD, IT'S YOU!! YOUR STILL ALIVE!! heh heh heh Welcome back stranger :o) Jack -ps: nice work :o)

LOL @ Melanie.. I like the part about him looking embarressed.. Hadn't thought of that but it's true.. hahaha.. Anyway, I hope you pull up a render for us so we can see what you did for Michael.. I love your textures and I love your renders too.. Hey Jack!!.. Good to see you again... =).. Yeah I'm still kickin', just not as hard .. When I Byte the dust you'll be one of first to know... haha I've been gone for a while but blame it on a idle mind and a busy crappy life.. ugh.. = I've missed Renderosity and all the peoples here.. =( Anyway, send mail my way when your not so busy takin' care of business..K?... =)... ^Cindy

BTW, Jack: For some reason I'm still not able to message you.. =(

I like his color but I like ruddy people S Liam Neeson is about the same tone in most of his stuff. It is just a preference and it can easiy be changed. Even with just taking a tan color that was lightened in poser to the skin tones. Have already fixed the eyebrows on mine ... Or made another ersion actually ...

This software hates me... it wont let you talk to me... not that you'd think of IMing me on AOL... but I swear, this program won't let anyone Private Message me... of course, that isn't necessarily a bad thing either.. hmmm? Jack

I've been looking through mags all morning and I think I found some promising eyebrows I can use.. I guess Zygote decided to use blonde since it's a rare thing.. Well I won't have to worry about making a blonde guy any time soon.. And your right Ghost, there are some people who are this red.. It also makes sense that he would be this red being blonde too.. I know so many real blondes who do get this shade of color if out in the sun a lot.. I'll probably use Zygote's texture for a render or two without modifications but I'll also probably lighten him before the days is over though, as Melanie has done.. =)

Jack: Hey, since I've gotten Cable now I'm rarely on AOL except to check my mail but I can make an exception.. =) Besides, if everyone could message you, your screen would probably lock up and your puter would die a miserable death.. *snicker

Okay, not meaning to be critical...but... is Michael cross-eyed here or were his eyes set to focus on something close?

RKane, I guess he's cross eyed because I didn't pose him .. All I did was put Vicky next to him to see if they looked good as a couple..This is Michael and Victoria in their default positions other than the minor expressions I used.. =) It wasn't meant to be a peice of art, by any means.. So, I guess I'm off the hook on this one.. LOL

Hi Cindy! wow! She looks just like you! Hahahahaha! What's a nice mountain girl like you doing in a place like this? And why are you with that dork? Oh, hehe... 'scuse me... Thorne =};-}>

Hey Thorne!...Geez, not sure how to take that since you've said from the beginning Vicky was one ugly dude.. LOL.. But I've always I thought she was lovely so I'll take that as a compliment, which I know your silly self meant..haha.. Unfortunately she's betta lookin' than me.. Least she's got a neck and shoulders.. I have a head and two arms.. =( As for the dork well he's got it where it counts *wink and that's all that matters.. >=) Ugh.. I know bad joke.. haha Haven't heard from you in a while, send some mail when you gets the time.. =)
