Sixus1 announced on the Runtime DNA forums today that the HumanZ figures are almost ready to go and they would be posting pictures soon.  I've been eagerly awaiting these and can't wait.

While I like Les immensely, I don't care for his figures. Just a personal preference...lol. I can't get excited ;). But I hope I'm proved wrong :). For some applications, a Sixus figure is just the thing.

Laurie

I love the sixus figures.

I'm not too into their monsters, but I really like Behemoth and Behemoth 2, and what I've seen of the male figure he will have a lot of characteristics I love in a heroic male figure.   The preview I saw showed him with body hair and a beard--if that's the default look I'm loving it already--and he's anatomically endowed--no shelling out extra cash for a willie.

I use Behemoth 2 for a character in my current comics.

Maybe it's a guy thing...hehe.

Laurie

I am hoping these new figures will be more human looking.  I'm quite excited to see.

Love esther

Also did you see that michelle by Tait is also well on the way!

Female looks cute, she needs immediately an iris smaller morph lol

Any pics of the male figure?

I'm also curious to see a wireframe of the mesh, previous Sixus1 figures were quite heavy and that was the only reason I've never used them much...

Yeah, heavy and wrong Poly distribution.
That is why I never used them either.
Hope these are lighter and have better poly distribution.
Can not wait to see a wireframe. (as for any figure BTW)

The woman is cute, she has big expressive eyes.  I think these people are more stylized looking rather than being the type of things you'd use in the "realistic" render portraits.  I'm okay with stylized characters.  The original Freak was my favorite male model for a long time (although I loathed the unscalable hands and feet).

Cool. Aside from the eyes, the Sixus female looks like it could be used in a more "realistic" context.

The Michelle figure definitely does...

Both look very interesting - thanks for the heads up Tomsde

"  The original Freak was my favorite male model for a long time (although I loathed the unscalable hands and feet)."  me too!!

I don't have The Freak, in any incarnation... but seeing this render by photobear77 made me want to get it...

wow, that is supurb!  which freak did he use and how did he do the clothes I wonder.

From the gallery notes... he's used Freak 4 and Marvelous Designer 2.

wow, what a shame people aren't allowed to sell the clothes they make.

Love esther

Can they not be sold (or given away) via the MD web store, if you only have the personal license? Think that's what I'd understood reading the license...

...not much for actual sale in that store currently though certainly...?

do you think he started from scratch or did he somehow modify some other clothes he already had to make the shirt?

Love esther

PS the shirt is truly marvellous I must say.  Hard to get clothes to fit that sort of body habitus and look good like that.

No idea! I guess I would just go trying to use the cloth room for something like this... and most probably fail to get anything near as good :crying:

It could be done by converting a regular shirt to dynamic cloth.  I have a lot of uniforms, but I kind of doubt the Wardrobe Wizard would be able to do that much conversion without some serious distortions.

The Freak 4 does not have the hand/feet issues that the original model had.  I bought the Freak 3 shape for Genesis, with the Genesis figure it's possible to scale the hands and feet to more realistic (and human) proportions--I thought finally!  Unfortunately I'm kind of over the Freak 3 now--I'm ready to move on to other things.  I will say that he was the first massively muscled figure that Daz had produced.  When David came out his muscularture was something special too.

I'm not so sure how good the pockets would look in the cloth room.  that has to be the best 3D shirt I have ever seen.

Love esther

A great render..

ha-ha-ha-, I want to be a bad boy in his city :-) :-) :-)

I wanna see him run 50 meters :-) :-) :-)

But a great shirt it is, beautiful folds, exactly as it would be in "real life".

It's amazing how realistic these figures can look if people would "ugly" them up a bit.  Sometimes people say that certain figures are too good looking--but as long as they have a good selection of morphs they need not be pretty at all.

Oh, pockets are fine esther, so long as you make them part of the soft-decorated group :). Same goes for belt loops, belts and other things that need to bend but still follow the cloth.

Laurie

well I may give it a try with one of my police uniforms.  thanks for the suggestion LaurieA.

As for "

I wanna see him run 50 meters :-) :-) :-)" He's carrying a gun isn't he?  why would he need to run?  Go ahead, make his day.

Love esther

well he does look like a heart attack waiting to happen I have to admit.

"Do you feel lucky punk? Well? Do ya?"

LMAO

Thanks for the smiles girls :-)

Oh! Another new one: Do cops have hearts?
Sorry, could not resist that one.. :-)

See, good figures do not have to be anorexic bidy bolders. Euh, body builders :-)

Just like the best girls are not anorexic size 34 ladies with size E balloons on their collars.
But size 36-38 with B size normal gravity breasts are way more atractive.

Oh I see.  You live in the real world.  I spend a little time there too sometimes.  (when I have to)

Love esther

seriously I agree, and I do sometimes buy non-idealic looking figures, like rikishi for example.  they are handy.

Love esther

I hide in the real world but live in my dreams my dear.

Och, when I look at Poser/DS people I jump into my hiding place.
And dream, that once in a distant future, Poser/DS will come with some real people.

I dream, I can stop morphing.
I have nightmares about, pfft, again having to lower breast for 4-5 inch. Again. and again, and again. And again all over again.

I have nightmares about, again having to dirty up the next bidy bolder = wanna be body builder.

I have nightmares about the next bad poly distribution mesh.

I have nightmares about the next set of 10.000 poly inner mouths.

I have nightmares about the next mosquito net. Sorry, the latest meshes are not wireframes, or meshes, they are mosquito nets.

Perhaps, some day, who knows...... in a distant future.

I will not feel the need to start morphing, again, and again, and again. 

All  he would have to do is sit on someone and it would be all over.

Ha-ha- Tom, :-), he'll have to catch me first :-)

But then, at 53 and 50 kg, (100 lbs), I can hide behind a lantirn pole :-)

Quote - Ha-ha- Tom, :-), he'll have to catch me first :-)

As long as he didn't happen to lean on the lantern pole to catch his breath... you'd probably be okay then

Support is always a major issue with new human figures but I buy them anyway in the hope and because what I crave is a variety that morphs alone can seldom provide (unless they are very dramatic - such as Blackhearted's morphs, both body and face).

Sixus1 figures always tend to have a certain something that marks them out as Sixus1 but never so much that I've felt it intrudes on the image, instead it serves to enrich it. I don't do a great deal of fantasy, so I don't have all that many of the fantasy figures - but I do dabble in horror images now and then, so I do have a fair number the others and based on those alone, the HumanZ development is something that I'm looking forward and feel I can buy into with confidence.

I use the B2 figure in my comics.

He fits the character perfectly.

so when are you releasing your own original figure?

But Allison and Ryan are Smith Micro's answer to average looking people (pardon me while a gag up a fur ball).  I don't know, there is just something subtly wrong about them.  I've said it on other threads and I'll say it again--for the most part people don't want ordinary looking people.

I am not most people, (thank goodness)  I like normal sized people.  Which V4 certainly isn't, no matter which of the Poser scales one uses.

As far as Alyson & Ryan the issues boil down to 2 items:  Arms & Head

Arms - they are much too short - this applies to ALL SM characters. Allow me to explain.

Stand up and place your feet shoulder-width apart.  Place your hands at your sides.

Where is the tip of your middle finger?

Halfway down the thigh.

Do the same with any SM human figure.

Where is the tip of the middle finger?

It is on the hip.

The arms are too *%$&(#^ short.  I fix this by lengthing the forearm & shoulder to 1.1

Head - Then there is the face - she is off-putting out of the box, just like P6 Jessi.  Go into the face shapes and make a few minor adjustments.  It doesn't take very much to make her more attractive. 

You are going to spin the dials anyway, start with the face shapes.

I'll admit, the poser 8 people (Ryan/Alyson), are kinda plain and arms are really short. I prefer the G2 people. And Poser 6 Jessi is a nice looking figure.

None of them have breasts.

Some, I could call helium filled balloons.
Some.

All are made of solid rock, do not move a milimeter when the arms come down.

I think in the USA everybody walks around in a "T" pose.
Must be a funny sight over there.

Vilters, your dead horse is in the lobby. please commence beating it before it stinks up the place... oh. to late...

@Khai,
good evening to you too.

T?

LOL

maybe you'll get the message. we know. you think most poser figures are wrong. stop telling us all the time. we get it. you've told us. repeatedly. we are not stupid, we get it. you don't have to keep repeating it over and over and over and over and.... and if this annoys you, tough. think how anboying it is for the rest of us, everytime you go on about this.

Poser 2 people = vertices outside of the mesh.
Poser 4 People = welding problems head/neck, hands and feet.
Poser 8 People = welding problems on the back side of the head/neck.

Just to name a few of the more obvious ones.

When I say something, I can prove it.

Ugly faces and wrong breasts are open to subjectivity. I agree

Mesh errors are not open for discussion.
They are errors.

Genesis having serious uv map issues between her collars and her arms.

Need more proof?

YOU'VE PROVED IT - REPEATEDLY

for godsake man. you missed my point completely...! WE KNOW. YOU'VE TOLD US AND PROVED IT. YOU KEEP TELLING US.

*please for the love of god, stop telling us!
