I would like to see new renders of any Aiko base model. Even if it's a work in process.  Show them if you got them.

This is from my Renderosity Gallery.  It's a custom Aiko 3 character rendered in Poser Pro 2014.  Material Settings for Character Here

Not new but the only one I have laying about on the web at the moment, A3 and the Gargoyle Hound. Poser 8

I recently used Aiko 3 to depict a character I created some 25 years ago (or there about) originally in graphite.

Here's the best scan I have of a graphite based drawing (sorry for the small resolution)...

And here's the A3 version of her...

I combined pieces from several sets I had on hand, the most distinctive elements being the jacket and the shoes from the "Tail Gunner" collection.

I named her Miko Yakamura and she's part of the same "universe" as K'tharr Rauthimas, a female ailuromorph some of you may have seen in my gallery.

Sincerely,

Bill

Are those shoulder guards part of the Tail Gunner outfit?

Ah, those are from BugzLife's "Stellar Knights Suit.

http://www.renderosity.com/mod/bcs/stellar-knights-suits/56842/

I do a lot of "mix and matching" along with "frankensteining".  Like the boots, the foot and toe sections are from the Tail Gunner set, but the ankle section is from the Stellar Knights set.  By giving the same red leather shader, they "blend" into a single piece of footwear.

Sincerely,

Bill

Thanks.  I'll have to go back and take a look at some of the content that I have and do the same "mix and match"  I have the Stellar Knights Suit and never really paid attention to the shoulder pads.  The red color and the jacket really made them stand out.

Thanks! Occasionally I strike upon something "interesting" when I "kit bash". Like the kneepads, they're the knee plates from that armor set released shortly after Aiko's debut They're separate body parts so I just unchecked the visible parameter for everything but those plates and conformed them as usual.

Sincerely,

Bill

XinXin, which uses Aiko3 body.

My most recent Aiko 3 with Shukky's armor.  I used my hybrid Miki/Aiko with Miki's head and Aiko's body.

A3 with Thorne's Sydni morph/texture in the soft flowing Hidden Winds skirt/shawl by Fabi (FK Designs), and A3 with Thorne's Sylfie morph/texture in the armor.

     A3 Sydni again, riding the boat, Posette as TinkerBell...

Some may reasonably assume this is LittleFox's "Melody", basically A3's body geometry with her head replaced by custom sculpted polygons...but it's not.  This is actually Aiko 3 sporting heavily reshaped facial features using morphs Beth Capsces developed and released.  The textures are a long out of production set by Daio called "Felis Sapiens".  Originally intended for Victoria 3, since both figures have the same mapping, Aiko can use them just as well.  The digitigrade feet came from JENelson (usually going by Achronicity within anthro' fandom).  He labeled the set "Kasa for A3".  Alas, he closed his MarketPlace store.  These are actually a "beta" of the revised package he had planned.  You may recognize the outfit as a DAZ item that was free for a long time.  The shin pieces (made for the cat feet) are part of a freebie set Idelacio currently offers upon his Deviant Art page, the "Retro Skirt".  Originally sold at RDNA, it is now free.  He also offers an add-on (which was always free) that retextures the outfit to look like Lt. Uhura's uniform from classic Star Trek.

This was originally an entry for a small contest within the DAZ forums, the prizes privately supplied by a forum member.  I came in third and got a 5 buck certificate.

Sincerely,

Bill

Nice one bill, I also liked the Dejah Thoris image you did with the Capsces morphs and Gareee's Martian Princess getup. 

Thanks for remembering that one!  After a couple of others have posted examples, I'll upload it.

Sincerely,

Bill

Trying to toss something together with XinXin ATM... remains to be seen as I get too obsessive, maybe over the next couple days. Got me remembering that awesomely cute character though and some of the great freebies from PoserClub Japan, which is no more?! 

I wanted to give someone else ample time to post something  before I did so again, but as it has been two full days, I guess I'll go ahead and display the image Primorge mentioned Wednesday.

Aiko 3, obviously, but I managed to fit Gareee's Martian Princess ensemble upon her despite being made for V4.  Believe it or not, the loincloth and pasties are simply "parented" rather than conformed.  I managed to run Cross Dresser upon the choker and bracers so I could properly conform them.  I also mixed elements of LittleFox's "Harmony" collection, the bracers, pectoral collar and hair to complete her attire.

Sincerely,

Bill

This is what happens when I'm trying out new ideas.  I was trying to figure out the best way to position Aiko 4 on the Sub dragon.  She's in good shape so long as the dragon doesn't move it's neck.  I eventually gave up on the idea of someone riding a small dragon. Maybe a prone position will look better if I can find something that would make a good saddle that the character uses laying down.

This picture is actually a promotional picture for a set of manga poses that I'm making for Aiko 3.  I'm trying to create at least 200 custom poses for Aiko 3. After that I'll work ok on some manga style poses for the more recent versions of Aiko. The full size version can be seen in my renderosity gallery.  The hair is the Mitsu Hair found at Daz..  Does anyone know know of a hair model that looks similar to the hair in the image? It doesn't have to be for Aiko 3.  V4 or genesis would be fine.

I was hoping someone would post something else as well since it doesn't have to only be Aiko 3

I have Shukky's armor and if I remember it's really stiff. Definitely good for standing poses.  But now that I've seen your picture I have a new idea that I didn't think of before. What version of poser did you render that in?

Sorry just saw this as I came back to check the thread since I don't get any ebots anymore :/

That image was done in PP2012 with BB's envirosphere with an hdr on it and one point light. 

This is a work in process (for at least a year now).  I spent so much time trying to get the skin materials the way that I wanted them, that I never took time to think of what scene to place this character in.  It's a custom character for Aiko 4 and I used the V4 Elite Maya skin materials.  It was rendered using Poser Pro 2014, IDL, SSS and all of that other good stuff  The only difficulty that I had was dealing with the visual seams that appeared. It was an easy fix but it took me forever to find it.

Here's my custom Aiko 3 Dark Elf I've been working on for some time now.

Sorry about the size, I'll crop it later if need be.

That rabbits looks really good.  The school dress looks really well.  I've seen the promo picture for it and I think this one makes a better representation of what it can be.  Does the rabbit come with the Poser Content?

Poser 8

Creepy and it makes me feel uneasy.  That means it's a good picture in my book. Any picture that sparks an emotion especially uneasiness is always a good thing.  I had to sit in a spanish class for 3 years (7th, 8th, and 9th grade) looking at Francisco Goya's painting Saturn Devouring His Son. It was one of the few paintings that I really didn't like but for some reason always had to look at it.  This render has a similar feel to it.

Thanks... no the rabbit has to be purchased. It's from the EF Zodiac collection, which I think are some of the finest crafted animal figures for Poser. I have quite a few in my collection, and if you're into collecting critters they are well worth the price. The whiskers and fur displacement shader were added by myself as finishing details.

I'll confess that I had to do some serious bend fixes in ZBrush to get the schoolgirl uniform up to snuff for the render. Out of the box it's got some issues, but most older Poser content does in that regard. I consider it part of the creative challenge to fix the problems even if it takes me longer to do than the actual render.

Also, trying to get all of this older content to behave with IDL is quite a task, good thing that photorealism isn't at all a concern... Illustrative type imagery is more my goal and fits more comfortably with the models and capabilities of myself and Firefly.

Goya has some great, dark, imagery, the work he did later in life is of particular interest.

I guess I succeeded in transforming XinXin into something you rarely see in relation to that character, that was the goal.

Aiko 3 as a Biker.

here's A3 with royloo's enjeru bureido.  dunno if he and shukky = same guy.

is there free animated walk poses for aiko3?

i tried back in poser 7 days, never could get it to look good

Only walk cycle I know of for A3 is A3 Strut by Stimuli over at 'rotica... not free.

my aiko3 too sweet and innocent for rotca  :)

aiko6, perhaps, not so innocent :lol:

Nor A4 imo. Must be Vicky's bad influence.

aiko6, perhaps, not so innocent :lol:

This just gave me an idea for a few scenes and title names.

Cheers! remember Aiko 19?

Yeah, Blackhearted. Still for sale at the Deathstar. Chuckle. Never picked it up, I'm in the minority with appreciating BH's body types... not that I don't see the talent, particularly in the renders. Whatever happened to him? Kinda disappeared at the height of Poser success... Weird. Also rather surprised at the prices of some of that old content, been wanting to pick up Fairylicious for like forever... guess I just keep missing a sale or something. At this point betcha I could make something similar myself, at least good enough for render purposes. 

Here you are - aiko3

Cute, glad this thread still has some life in it. A ray of light around here. Looks like another Thorne and Sarsa character...

This is a test render of an A4 character that I started to work but haven't had the time to sit down and focus on it.  The skin renders well when using IBL but it doesn't have the same quality when rendered without it. I need to play around with the materials a little more before I can get it the way I like it.

This is a scene that I started on and forgot because I didn't know what to put in the scene.  It's one of those projects where I basically just toss stuff into the scene and hope that I like it. I'll probably change it 40 more times before I actually come up with something that I like enough to make want to finish it.

how do you write Aiko in japanese?

or i love Aiko?

Cute, glad this thread still has some life in it. A ray of light around here. Looks like another Thorne and Sarsa character...

i'se gonna guess Pazu?

Might be Pazu, dunno, looks kinda... haven't been to faeriedreams in a while. Lol. Christ, 18 bucks for that character over at Daz. Ever notice that Thorne and Sarsa's A3 pixie Characters seem to have biblically evil sounding names?

Not quite Aiko, but she's free. Just do a search for Ayana at Sharecg.com

huh  sure i didn't pay 18 for her.  prolly be on flash sale again. 

we need a i luv aiko render badge

     I posted a TinkerBell "catwalk" circa P7 using A3, on ShareCG now.

Cool seach, that'll look good with Fenric's jiggle deformers I bet.

sorry about that earlier post. Let me be relevant this time. Here's Aiko.....

Here is a mix with two Aiko3-based characters:

• Thorne and Sarsa's Sylfie for the morphology
• Thorne and Sarsa's Sydni for the skin (which has been "EZSkinned")
• Aeon Soul's Desir Hair

 I needed two Irish ceilidh dancers;  this circular-skirt style is for Aiko 3;  also working on a pleated style for a Poser doll.  I'll probably make the laced-upper style shoes, if it doesn't go all pear-shaped on me.
