Yes, it's an oldie. Again. Tech Specs: HIM Tactical Space Suit (Sixus1 - no longer available) minus helmet + V4 Gynoids helmet (formerly RDNA, assimilated into the DAZ collective) + Dwarvez (Sixus1) head only + Balok (ShareCG) + Alien Queen (ShareCG I think, but I can't find it) How I ended up here {exhibit 1} is a curious tale. It all started with a render of a chap hiding amongst some sexy space clonetrooper babes, which I realized once rendered was almost identical to another one I'd done before. So I restarted. For reasons that are far too complicated to explain my default scene was a dwarf doing side bends and an axe {exhibit 5} (rather fortuitously there's a broken link icon over his non-genitals meaning that this doesn't require a nudity tag) "There's no way the cyberbabe armour* will fit him" I thought, my mind obviously still being on cyberbabe armour, but a space helmet will. I immediately thought of my favourite one from FleshForge's free Encounter V4 at ShareCG, but remembered I'd used it already on an earlier space dwarf {exhibit 6} Looking at my auto-plagiarized cyberbabe render for inspiration I suddenly recalled Traveler's Gynoids (whoops! That sounds like a rather unpleasant medical condition! Sorry Traveler!) the V4 Gynoids sets by Traveler, specifically "Technophilia Retro - Gynoids V3 - Rock-It"** (which I picked up for nothing, my favourite price, a few months back with one of those coupon codes that DAZ generously provides at irregular intervals), which has a couple of nice retro space helmets. So I deleted the axe, zeroed the toast-free naked dwarf, loaded a three piece helmet, scaled and positioned it to fit over his head... and then remembered that I don't have any clothing for the Dwarvez other than what came with the freebie figure. That explains why my previous space dwarf was wearing normal dwarf clothes with his space helmet. Alternative solution, make his body invisible and just ignore the problem. Genius ! I decided to use a single spotlight pointing at his face and tried both the bell jar {exhibit 2} and fishbowl {exhibit 3}, changing the glass to use bagginsbill's old cockpit canopy material. I prefer the fishbowl because that'll provide enough space for his cigar. (maybe Marco's freebie fairy alien should be in there too ? Or the Li'l alien ?) And then I remembered the H.I.M-T.S.S - the old Sixus1 freebie Tactical Space Suit for the old Sixus1 freebie H.I.M (the TSS doesn't seem to be available any more). I was going to load H.I.M. then load the TSS and conform it to H.I.M but then I thought "why not cut out the middleman", so I just loaded the TSS and posed it. Worked fine. So I zeroed it again, hid the helmet, and positioned the suit so the space-helmeted dwarven head lined up. Then parented the (still unposed) dwarf to the chest of the TSS, reposed the suit, and rendered. The helmet metal and suit colour clashed. I tried a couple of alternative suit materials and one of them was a perfect match.{exhibit 4} What's missing, apart from the cigar obviously ? Giant piglets ? Dinosaurs ? Fish (he could be underwater) ? How about spaceships ? Stars ? Aliens ? A fireplace and a comfy chair perhaps ?
