I've loved to see all these Aiko3-based pictures... ? Here is Sylfie, based on Aiko3, and rendered using Octane

Great Sylfie portrait, @Y-Phil !

@William_Rivera - Like the Alita Battle Angel!

Thanks!

Wow ???

AIKO 3 as Zoar (Sorceress) from Master of the Universe.

Here are Brielle on the left, and Aiko3 character from Thorne & Sarsa (2005), and Aiko-19 V2 on the right, from Blackhearted (2005) I have to say, lol, that Aiko-19 is wearing the only cloth I have for her. Most of the time, she is naked...

And tomorrow, I'll probably present another pic of Brielle, as a sexy maid, almost naked if it's not a problem

Broken Doll is Aiko 3

And another Aiko 3 ...

Gorgeous picture, and great lighting!

I've posted this chracter couple of times. So this is literally the same character in a different light.

These are brilliant! Are any of them going to reach the market?

Since these ones are characters from a story I'm slowly building and none of the base textures I started with are redistributable, nope.

I could make a Goblin character for market, but I don't know much about becoming a merchant and creating products. It's is an option I've thought about, but I would need a lot of help.

Another simple render for the wiki:

https://poserdazfreebies.miraheze.org/wiki/Aiko3%E3%81%AE%E6%9C%8D%E3%81%A7%E3%81%99

So over the years I've had people suggest that I should sell my characters, and recently I've gotten the notion to try making some Aiko characters as freebies or perhaps even for sale(long shot, what site would even take them?).

Seeing how this is the "official" all things Aiko thread on this site what better place to gauge how much interest there might be for something like that^, and perhaps enlist some help.

now back to our regularly scheduled program.

Some more characters from the same universe as the "cute" goblins (there are more monstrous ones, it takes a while to flesh out a world by yourself). These ladies work at a tavern. The dwarf wasn't dressing up like no vermin (I need a better tavern wench outfit).

Another fantasy character, not related to the previous ones. There is a story behind this one, the gist of it, I created her, she was beautiful and glorious... and I accidentally saved over the top of her (internal screams of horror, agony and despair)!!

Fortunately I had a test render, so I was able to sorta recreate her.

Unfortunately, I had a test render. "Look at your lady. Now back to me. Sadly she is not me. I'm on a pegasus flying off into the sunset without you." :(

...And here she is, reborn from the ashes.

An excellent set of characters. I can't offer to help - never have got into creating characters, just using them.

She's cute.

They are all attractive characters.

What kind of help do you need Ethin?

Which Aiko is it? Aiko 3 might be a tough sell these days. Aiko 4, I think there's still a market. A lot of people still use generation 4 DAZ figures.

Your characters are adorable, and I would be interested.

I'll take a wild guess and say Gen 4 judging by the shoulder region. I'm just guessing without loading A3 and by the variety of outfits. A3 characters would probably do well as freebies... Gen 3 MRs are hard to come by. I have like one Gen 3 MR. The textures would have to be hand painted in order to redistribute... not as insurmountable a task as it once was, especially toon skins. But then there all of the face paints to consider. Being that it would be, more than likely, freebies, finding someone with the free time and skill to paint so many varied textures for freebies would be asking a bit. But you never know ;)

And then the question remains... are these dial spinners? And do they use commercial packs? The usability would also be limited by the availability of those morphs.

...and it's a Daz figure. Lots of scrutiny and hoops there.

The only thing that makes me think it may be A3, just by eyeballing the characters and not loading A3/A4 (rendering right now) are the knees. A3's knees, out of the box, are the sexiest knees of any figure

The decorative paints on the characters are really standout though. If ethin did those paints, he or she would easily be able to paint some base skins.

In case you are wondering who the hell I am, I did these characters at the start of this thread. Yeah, I've had some identity crisises lol

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

Alyssa (Variation on Thorne and Sarsa's Salome, Baby Doll hair, Tentman's free A3 SchoolGirl uniform, HeadKase's free Sensible Shoes, Content Paradise Rabbit)

Poser 8

95% of my work is done with Aiko3, and yes I do lots of custom texture modifications.

I've thought about this more and if I really want to make some money then Gen8 is where its at, but that's a ways off so in the meantime I'll try my hand at some AIko3 freebies.

Until I build up some redistributable textures they would just be morph presets and I would limit the required products to just Aiko 3 Morphs and Maps , Kioki and Aiko 19 , maybe an iconic character that lots of people have.

The main help I was looking for was with Poser. I'm a D|S user so preparing and testing Poser files is not my thing.

I'll volunteer to test stuff in Poser.

Are you sure? It'll be real tough and you'll be working with a lot of cuties!!!

This could be fascinating ...

Just imagine you are Tenchi Muyu and the beta test designs are the ladies crowding your house. ;-)

...And I think I've found my first candidate.

She may need a bit more tweaking...

I tested a few textures on her. The first 7 where for science... {exasperated sigh} the next 70 where 'cause she was just so darn cute.

So even though she doesn't have a texture of her own I think she'll be fine.

ethin posted at 1:36PM Wed, 17 June 2020 - #4392169

I'll admit half of those are Generation 4 textures that I ran through Texture Converter 2 (witch unfortunately is no longer available in store), and some of them are customized as well. I tested simple Anime through HD photo real textures, I thought she look good no matter what she was wearing, but then I'm definitely biased.

aiko 3 amd M3A3

I really like Vanille for girl 8, someday maybe I'll pick her up...

Until then I can always fake her. Vanille for Aiko 3.

I misread that name as "Vanilla" and I thought, "Hmm, looks more like a 'Cocoa'. Equally delicious!" ;-)

Sincerely,

Bill
