Description
When the elven princess is suddenly ambushed by a band of orcs, her bodyguard quickly springs into action coming to her defense....
This image is the result of a rather lengthy exercise in better learning DAS Studio 4, the Genesis figure....and its clothing and posing. I am uploading now it so I will stop continuously tinkering with it. This is my first multi Genesis figure scene, and I learned a few things:
1. The autofit tool is great for fitting V4 and M4 clothing to Genesis, but once it does it, you lose all movement morphs for the clothing.
2. V4 and M4 poses sometimes work on Genesis, sometimes they produce very strange results. DAZ has just released a tool that will convert M4 and V4 poses for Genesis and it should come in very handy, but I haven't tried it yet. In general, however, posing Genesis from scratch is not as difficult as it is with the generation 4 figures.
3. Mesh smoothing is great for dealing with movement and poke throughs in clothing, but it can really slow things down when you have multiple characters clothed with Genesis clothing. Best to turn it off once you clothe your character and then turn back on before rendering.
4. The Genesis male lacks a very important male part, but if you try to add M4 genitals, the autofit tool treats them like a piece of clothing and produces highly unacceptable results that cannot be shown on Renderosity! I did learn a quick PS trick to give the poor fellow the appropriate shape in his trousers!
All in all it was fun learning new things and I hope you like the image. Thanks for viewing and your comments...I appreciate your support!!
Nice detail in full size, feel free to ZOOM!

Well, that was a downright mean thing to do to the poor Genesis guy/person/figure.... Shame on those DAZ developers.. Now, how are they supposed to have any Genesis kids?? LOL! Well despite the lack of certain equipment, you did a magnificent job on this lovely render! I think those orcs will not survive very long... I've played a tiny bit with DAZ4, so I'll definitely keep your tips in mind when I play with it again. I'll still use Poser primarily, but it's good having DAZ to work with, too.

Great action image. Your posing is super.

I keep telling myself I'll upload DAZ and Genesis, but I feel I've already got enough stuff in my computer because of poser.... I like the male part subject you brought up... It jus might be cool to make some type of bulge to attach to m4 before the clothing - to give it that more "real" feel.

The end result is beautiful and the genesis figures look great! I am enjoying your experiments (and results!) but I think I will enjoy from afar and stick to Poser until Daz gets their male anatomy problem sorted out.

Awesome render.

Looks like DS has a lot of problems, but you overcame them well. I'm personally never giving up Poser...too much invested in it. Really fine ART.

Wonderful scene, great work

Wonderful work! Poser is still my preference, but I see little difference in the final render. :)

If I have never seen your works, I will probably not even give DAZS a try, Brother. Now you know you had been a big influence. Thank you for sharing your beautiful art!
