I know, I know, it's a shameless plug!  blush

Yep because I was about to give you a lecture about trolling. :P

uh oh, are you going to spank me?
I wasn't sure if I'm allowed to do this....

I knaaaw, I'm being obnoxious...   
I'll go hide under the bed  and contemplat my behavior...

Nope.  But I'll kick yer feline butt if it leads to a "Yeah, me too" flame war.  Not that it will, of course.  :biggrin:

I hope not... well, if it does, lock the thread up in a hurry... 

I wuzznt trolling for a fight, just for sum... um... ahem gawwewwy commentz.... ahem 
darn the hariballz ahem cough

If it makes you feel any better, I left a comment on yer pic.

Awwww, Thank you  :D
I had the thoughest time with setting up lighting for it. It still has so many flaws, it's driving me batty.  No postwork.
(Actually that really belongs in the critique forum... I posted a link asking for some feedback on the image over in crit. forum)

I can move it to the Critique gallery if you prefer.  You'll keep your comments and ratings.

I went looking for disrobed female persons in the gallery, but all I found was computer graphics depicting 3D models?  Did I click on the wrong thingamahoozis?

Nice Apollo render, BTW, and don't let me encourage your sneaky advertising method.  :b_smile:

I do so hate misleading titles.

I've long thought there wasn't enough nekkid males in the gallery.

especially when they're just as true to life as the female ones...;)

**Connie....make all the threads you want iffen it links to images like that.

Sweeeeeeeet!!!!!!!!**

I wuz being cheeky...   I'm glad people didn't turn this into a flamefest :)

An interesting thing I noticed... lot of guys, including my honey at home, made a comment "oh, look, a picture of me"  
I dunno if that's a typical comment a woman would make if she saw a nude pic... 'look, a pic of me'...   what's up with that???

I hate nekkid women... that's why I render them so much... to turn people off them tooo..... yeah right!

Well, it's definitely not a picture of me.  Ahem.  I've tried getting my physique out of Apollo, but I can't make him skinny enough, no matter how hard I try.  Hmm.  I think this post was not only unnecessary, but it should be filed under "too much information"....  Koff.

I have a similar problem, with male physiquie... but I hadn't dared to post it till now.

But a good one! I like and respect shameless plugs.

Damn... I was tricked.

Thanks for the link, Connie...This is what I said in my comments...

"Excellent image! I've never had a problem with the naked male bodies I've seen so far...the problem for me is trying to find or "create" a truly handsome face to go along with the rest of them. Most male faces look like a sad joke to me. It's difficult to pair a current Poser male up with a strikingly beautiful V3 or V4 female. The combination is just too ridiculous for me.

If anyone can come up with gorgeous heads/faces for James, Michael and/or David, I'd buy in a heartbeat. I'd love a Richard Gere, Keanu Reeves, young Mel Gibson, Kurt Russell, and/or Brad Pitt, look-a-like.

Or maybe I'm just not looking in the right places. If you know of real hunk characters in some marketplace on the net, please send me a site mail.

In the meantime...5+++ for a great body, Connie.

Robin"

And I'm very serious...why has so much time, effort and love gone into creating the gorgeous women while the men are lagging so far behind??  We have such fantastic artists here at Renderosity.  How about putting that great talent to work?  I think we need a CONTEST to create some worthwhile HUNKS for us gals to render!!

How about that?  A CONTEST to liven up our marketplace!!    Only requirement is that ALL entries must be completely renderable  and for sale to our members..

Who is in agreement with me?  raising two hands in the air

I'm going to make a little series of manscapes.... probably mostly with apollo, cuz he stole my heart, and because I need practice with portrait lighing and realism.

And, well, I can totally understand it when guys get a kick making pics of pretty girls. I get the same kick out of playing with male figures.  What can I say, I like guys. I wanna make them as good as abercrombie and fitch posters - eventually. :tt2:

However, us gals are in minority... and gals in general tend to be less forward with expressing their physical interests. Perhaps we tend to be more focused on making ourselves physically interesting?  I dunno, speculating here.

I should probably share the link here too: http://www.digitalmales.com/

It has just basic texture and lighting, quickie render in DAZ studio. I tend to like dial spinning in D|S better then poser.

Well I thought about posting a full-frontal nekkid celt (still have the Poser file on my hard drive). If you go to the gallery POSER/HISTORICAL, you'll see the upper part. But I've found when you post a piccy of a nekkid man, you get very low hits and MAYBE a few comments (you'll get hate mail if'n he has a gasp! erection). What I'd like is some constructive feedback to help me improve, which you won't get with nekkid mens. Still, if any o' you gals 'insist' that I post him, I will (maybe).

Quote - Here's a 'cute face' I made couple of weeks ago while spinning dials on Apollo. Still a WIP. I may take him out to Zbrush and make other adjustments. Needs a different texture too.

That's a "cute face"?  Wow, I'd sue your opthamologist.

Could be better, but I like him just the way he is :tt2:

@ robintemplar A contest to make "hunks" sounds interesting but I'm not sure how well it would go over in this male dominated medium. Guys generally don't wanna look at other nekkid guys, especially if they're "hunks". I have to admit, some of the best nude males I've seen have been done by the gay 3D community, really imaginative stuff. Wasn't there a Man of the Year contest over at DAZ? (one hunk for each month of the year) As you can see by the crushing number of replies, I don't hold much hope for a hunk contest. Wish it wasn't so, cause' I wouldn't mind rendering a piccy or two even tho' I haven't a chance in Hades of actually winning. Your thoughts?

I'd enter it, just to add images. I don't have any delusional thoughts of actually having a chance to win any contests :lol:   But I'd enter it to be supportive.

I'll be soming out with a marketplace product for Apollo soon, am elaborate wizard robe. I could offer a copy of it for an award. Maybe some other merchants whom make stuff for males could do similar?

LOL!!  If I had the body of the hot render you have in your gallery...I sure the hell wouldn't be here reading all the forums! :woot:  But, then again, my body does look like that when I close my eyes real tight and concentrate even harder.

Nice render, real drool material

~~That's a great idea, Connie!  Hugzz!  I can't wait to see your wizard robe!!

~~To  Elfwine, I had no idea about the gender ratio at Renderosity.  Usernames can be so misleading or identity masking, that I've not given it much thought as to which gender outnumbers the other.  We are artists, for art's sake.  lol  But thanks for the heads up.  I'll still create what I enjoy, regardless of who appreciates it.  I feel it's their loss...like the person who sleeps all day long, misses seeing the beauty of the rising sun....the frantic person who rushes everywhere, forgets to smell the roses blooming....etc, etc, etc.  lol

Have a great one,

Robin

"Usernames can be so misleading or identity masking,..." Yeah, there are more than a few who say they are female, pick a female avatar and name, but I strongly suspect otherwise. Hey Connie, I left a comment . YOU are definately a female. ;)

You're very right, Elfwine.  I've been "surprised" many times over the last 12+ years on the net.  Maybe this is why I rarely let gender, age, country of origin or anything else interfer with budding  friendships.  It's simply NOT IMPORTANT to me anymore...We're all humans first, with hearts and souls and feelings.  Everything else, pales in comparison.

But if you have doubts about my gender and it really bothers you, just site mail "ccbigs".  Cully was kind enough to befriend me first, on Renderosity when no one else would take a forward step to greet a newcomer AND was trusting enough to give me his home phone number.  I blew my tight monthly budget and called halfway across the United States to talk to him for over EIGHT hours one night.  We had a wonderful visit and even though we may be on opposing political sides, we hit it off great . 

Cully is a SUPER guy and a very good friend to all, here at Renderosity!  He'll confirm that I'm definately female.  Maybe a bit of a nut at times (my sense of humor was appreciated and fully accepted), but all woman and absolutely NO THREAT to anyone here.

I joined Renderosity to share my love of art and to learn a new software program (Poser).  I enjoy making new friends everywhere I go.  I have no ulterior motives in reaching out to others nor any desire in joining any immature gender wars. 

Have a good day, one and all.

Robin

This is a render I made quite a while ago - in between doing loads of nekkid scenes of the other gender.

Another one ;)

Agreed - we need some handsome face morphs for James and the others!

Quote - Well, I wasn't going for handsome here.

Maybe - but it would do for an alternative to the usual!

Modelled on the last Czar of Russia?

**I won't post mine here, Connie...but thanks to YOU and the link you gave me a week or so ago, I've now posted a few nekkid images myself...the last four in my gallery are really "FOR THE GIRLS!!"  I hope you'll all enjoy HIM!!   He's a knockout!!  deep sigh

Hugzzz,

Cage: I've found it fairly easy to make Apollo skinny. Almost (not quite but almost) enough to make him useable as... well a certain character I tend to render a lot...

Here's a pic of a skinny Apollo WARNING MALE NUDITY (though no bits are showing)

Elfwine I agree. Male nudity here is looked upon a lot different than female ditto, Female nudity is "art" while male nudity is either "eww" or "porn"

Personally I prefer to look at nekkid men. I have no interest in women.

Oh and Conniecat: I love those last two faces. The first is prettier than the second one, but the second one has CHARACTER - and I love (male) faces with character. No bishie soft milksops for me, please. I like a more rugged look :o)
