Inspired by all the great images here I finally rendered A3 in Superfly.   This is one of my favorite A3 characters, Lany run through EZSkin.   Materials and lights by ghostship2. 

Although I've used V4 extensively I hardly ever applied the A4 morphs so here goes!  She comes with some great expression morphs too.

Wooow 😍

Nice!

I nabbed Azrea & Sylph for A3 as they are being shuffled off to "The Vault". Gave them a similar treatment to Lilly.

Fantastic work 😍

Fantastic work 😍

I know I already posted these but they were just quick test shots. Decided I needed to go back, take my time, and do them justice.

Wooow I'm in love... 😍😍😍

Amazing work.  This deserves a tutorial on how you achieve these incredible characters.

Interesting idea, not sure how that would work or how much interest there is. I kinda doubt a handful of screen shots and a paragraph or two of text would really convey much, maybe something like a video or stream would work better, not that I know how to do that. Something to think about.

The characters shown just above by ethin and Kalypso are fine in and of themselves.

However, I have a question: since there is no sign of Asian features in the faces (except Azrea & Sylph), what is the point of 'crediting' Aiko?

Aren't they variations of V4?

Another "Vault" refugee, this time Handspan Studios and Thorne's Jenna for A3.

Anyone else interested in me doing a tutorial/walk-through of a character?

Wow. I'd never have looked twice at that hair from the product renders, but I really like it in yours.

Since hair can just about be used on any figure its the main thing I've be getting over the years. If it's on sale at a good discount I get it, sometimes even if its not something I think I'll ever use.

Most of the time I go through my hair and load in any that sorta have the length or style I'm looking for, then apply my basic shader settings I use on my hair to them all and do test renders to see what they will actually look like, then go through and mess with styling the more promising ones.

Based just on the thumbnail I would never have guessed that hair was the one, but it was in the length range I was looking for, and in the end it was the one that made her.

I think it's incredible that this thread has 20 pages (forum default settings) and NO content advisories.

...with a nudity warning.   And that was on the first page, dated 2015.   Does that not count?

I wouldn't consider that nudity, more like scantily dressed.  By the very definition, her body parts are covered or have a draping over them.

I'm surprised this thread is still going here's another Aiko 3

Just doing a color test. This is the unedited version.  Let me know if the colors seem washed out on your screen.  I may need to fix the color calibration for my Paintshop Pro because it looks washed out in that software.

The first one is a lot more vivid. I prefer it, but the second one doesn't look bad.

One thing you might try: look at it on your phone. I've found colors look very different on a smartphone, and these days more people probably use their phones than a desktop or laptop.

My screens are calibrated, and I find the first a little too orange for my taste

The first one is indeed warmer while the second render appears to have white balance applied, i.e., more corrective blue.  Both are perfectly acceptable although the second image has less specular bloom which I find more correct.  

Aiko3: Liana - sexy maid

Another Aiko 3 character for my collection (no image editing this time)

I think I've got the whole video "tutorial" thing figured out, no mic though so "silent movie" mode.

I guess the main question now is what do people want to see?

Maybe I should have given some options.

- An original character.

- My take on / Up date of a Aiko3 character.

- Conversion of a V4 character to A3.

And don't just say "yes", that's cheating! lol

All would suit me! But perhaps conversion of V4 to A3 first?

ok: I'm not going to only say "yes":

- yes
- yes
- yes

DAZ thought this too provocative for its forums, so I'm showing it here.

Lt. Mzzkiti (using Melody for A3) roleplays the mad scientist C.A. Rotwang from Fritz Lang's "Metropolis".  She's roped in a couple of her cremates, Dee Rainged and F.L.O. to play two other notable characters, Maria, the social worker and the iconic Maschinenmensch.  Dee/Maria is Aiko 3 with the head of "The GIRL" seamlessly fused onto the body (I forget who who worked out that and offered it to artists).  F.L.O./Maschinenmensch also uses that figure in combination with Shukky's "B-Co".

Though reflections, "glares" and encircling metallic bars obscures any and everything, I'm tagging this with "nudity" just to avoid somebody getting their knickers in a twist.  I mean, DAZ didn't object to the A3 version of Dejah Thoris (which I posted early in this very thread) and she reveals a heck of a LOT more than the reclining figure does in this piece, but the "inner sanctum" at the other site said, "Nope!"

Well.. I did a V4 character conversion. Got about three hours of footage. Took an hour and a half to get A3 to look as much like the V4 character as I figured I could, 30 minutes of me taking artistic liberty, and an hour playing with hair.

As far as I'm concerned the show ended at the hour and a half mark... but if people really want to see me dink around...

Might be a bit before I get it posted, got to learn and do post production stuff, make a YouTube channel... (laziness sets in) or I could just dump the file as is on Mega for people to download.

I respect your laziness (yes: me too...) so I'm ok with the Mega dump file

After I got a second wind, I sped up the video so now its only 20 minutes long and added some music, had too get creative and use the video capture app for that 'cause the free video editing app that came with Windows10 wont let me "save" anything.

I now have a YouTube channel, only took a minute to make (and I'll probably regret it the rest of my life LOL).

Have some Aiko 'cause I've been adding too much text.

Did her a year ago and forgot to post her here.

Woooow she's just damn gorgeous!

Agree.  I'm amazed at how much detail has been put into this character.
