<p>Shotaro Ikina</p><p>

<a href="http://s1168.photobucket.com/user/aaronredwulfstudioswillr0ck/media/TEW/Shotato%20Ikina.jpg.html" rel="external nofollow"><span>http://i1168.photobucket.com/albums/r496/aaronredwulfstudioswillr0ck/TEW/Shotato%20Ikina.jpg</span></a></p><p> </p><p>

So I looked all over for a mask that resembles Massacre's original render and I couldn't find anything that came close. I tried a regular ski mask but that ended up looking stupid and I tried a Shinto Samurai mask, which looked pretty cool but the only texture they had was a natural wood color, which looked pretty terrible. With that being said I went in a whole other direction for the Massacer render and made him look like Umaga with face tattoos and armor. I figured the C-verse could use a Samoan bulldozer character. Some people may hate this one sense it's so different from the original and I may re-do the render some day when I find a decent mask but for now I love how this one turned out.</p><p> </p><p>

It's a new one I picked up during the recent DAZ sale, the Double Feature Wade Xenon. It also contains the skin I used on the Angry Gilmore render a few pages back. I used this skin on the Randy and Zimmy Bumfhole renders...it's really versatile and looks great with the Omnifreaker shader and Uberenvironment lighting (I think I turned down the intensity to 20 or 25% from the preset 30%...it can make a difference in smoothing out the shininess)</p><p> </p><p> That Massacre is really something!

I find Greg Gauge challenging because A) he's a twin to Matthew, and I don't just want to do the same render facing a different way, but B) in his stats he has a D in sex appeal where Matthew has a C or C+ (which is weird because they're twins). So I tried to convey that with the stubble on Matthew and a little cooler haircut and pose.

Nice. I really like the SAV hairs too. I just picked it up.

 

Those Keith's look snazzy. Sam looks like he can still go! He needs a retirement match!

 

I always took the Matt has more sex appeal/Star Quality than Greg thing to be due to the fact that Matt can be more of a muscular Heavyweight. Matt can get up to be a Ethan Carter III (TNA) sized light heavyweight, while Greg in his best shape is more of a Kenny Omega just above a Junior.

 

Yeah I wish there was a better way to age Genesis figures like there is with the M4 ones. It's hard to make someone look significantly aged.

 

I like your take on Sex Appeal for the Keiths. Star Quality would definitely be different because they are two different people but I always had trouble with the renders trying to keep them looking the same and showing something to alter the sex appeal.

Thanks for the kind words guys. My plan is to do all the Japanese feds. I'll get to Saisho and Exodus for sure.

 

A couple more GCG guys...

 

Jimmy Cox -Sorry, had to ditch the mullet.

SUKI - This might be one of my personal favorites. I was going for the Kenta look and I am really pleased at how this one turned out.

Love the new lighting you're using.

I was really happy with how these came out. There's not a ton *to* KC but I feel like I captured some different vibes. I even added an edgier haircut one for when he goes to Japan :)

<p>Great work as usual, guys. Can you find the time to do a CV97 version of Haruki Kudo please? Maybe just reverse the aging slider and color the beard somewhat? <img alt=":p" data-src="//content.invisioncic.com/g322608/emoticons/tongue.png.ceb643b2956793497cef30b0e944be28.png" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /> Thanks.</p><p> </p><p>

<p>Iray is slower but I rendered this one in x1500 (fullbody scope), and it took just a couple of minutes on a GTX970 (or something like that. I don't notice the time as I'm booking some event in TEW at that time <img alt=":p" data-src="//content.invisioncic.com/g322608/emoticons/tongue.png.ceb643b2956793497cef30b0e944be28.png" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" />). Given that the 3delights render in mere seconds, it's kind of slow. It's when you start adding backgrounds that iray starts to get to superslowmotion mode.</p><p> </p><p>

I'm just a casual renderer and don't know the technical side of things, but many of the details I put into the figure don't convert well to iray. That and my vision on the character is sometimes completely changed due to surface settings (or god knows what other mumbo-jumbo <img alt=":p" data-src="//content.invisioncic.com/g322608/emoticons/tongue.png.ceb643b2956793497cef30b0e944be28.png" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" />)</p><p> </p><p>

I think that lighting loses some of the details. I know, even in 3Delight, that sometimes my render will look awesome in the view pane and when it renders I'm like "eh, I liked it better before". It's kind of like cartooning...you have these beautiful pencils and sometimes the inking lessens it.</p>
