The C-Verse Rerender Project: 3rd Strike

[d12345]

Big thanks Wilr0k. It was nothing against Shipshirt's Peak. It just feels better when family members are rendered in the same style.

<p>I was thinking of doing these guys without the mask and the gimmick but let's face it, without the gimmick they are pretty terrible workers.</p><p> </p><p>

Chaos Demon #1</p><p>

Ughhhhh. Even if you don't want the Chaos Demon gimmick it's still such a good render to use for two gens with good chemistry in tagging.

 

I need to stop praising you god damn it.

I'm glad you like them, I was thinking of doing renders of these guys without the masks as well so you will eventually have a choice.

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".

Iray is supposed to be faster and more realistic. Iray is an unbiased render engine so, unlike 3Dlight, you have to treat the lights you use like real world lights otherwise your renders will end up looking cartoony or like the figures are made out of clay. Also, you need to use textures that are specifically created for Iray to achieve maximum effect without having to tweak the heck out of them.</p>

[Blackman]

<p>Yeah, well, I don't seem to have those. <img alt="" data-src="//content.invisioncic.com/g322608/emoticons/rolleyes.png.4b097f4fbbe99ce5bcd5efbc1b773ed6.png" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /> I consulted a guide and they said some surfaces came with the figure but they must be talking about gen3. I still use 4th generation V/M as gen3 is too much of a financial leap in terms of acquiring enough diverse content. I tried it but the clothing (and the hair definitely) doesn't always convert flawlessly. And I'd rather not spend more time tweaking, as half of the time I don't know what I'm doing and it becomes a trial and error thing.</p><p> </p><p>

The fact that they look cartoony is not exactly a problem for these games, at least not imo.</p>

[sockpuppet]

True. That being said though, you can download the basic Gen3 figures and there's a utility Called Iray Converter that cost like $28 US and will convert all of your V4/M4 skins to Iray.

I honestly think it looks worse than the default one. You can edit glossiness but we don't really need that. Tried it on others too. Could be a useful tool in some cases, but I'm not buying it yet.</p>

[Blackman]

I admit I didn't change the camera from the full body shots I usually make, so you might be right. <img alt="" data-src="//content.invisioncic.com/g322608/emoticons/tongue.png.ceb643b2956793497cef30b0e944be28.png" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /> I just noticed now that you put my attention on the shadows (which are overdone in general).

These Chaos Demon renders are something else. Such great work on them.

 

Thanks, I am really happy with how they turned out!

 

The more I looked at my renders of the Peak brothers the more I didn't like them. I think the texture I used made them look like they had scurvy or something so I redid them.

Here's a rerender that afaik no one ever attempted because the worker is often deemed irrelevant. But she's not! Namaste!</p><p> </p><p>

[shipshirt]

<p>That's a great April Appleseed. I would love to see you incorporate some variety in outfits that were character specific since you do such lovely full body renders.</p><p> </p><p>

I wanted to re-do my Bradford Peverell render because it didn't feel "dirty" enough. I'm really happy with how this came out. It feels more like the character I use him as.</p><p> </p><p>

[Blackman]

Specific? Like what? I'm not spending 10$ on a yoga pants. I can get a real one for that much. <img alt="" data-src="//content.invisioncic.com/g322608/emoticons/tongue.png.ceb643b2956793497cef30b0e944be28.png" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /> I wouldn't know anything about outfits as the profiles rarely mention those things. If somewhat were to tell me I can see what I can do, but I'm without inspiration other than slapping some promotion-specific textures.

<p>Could someone do a rerender for Rob Reynolds and/or Molokai Milk?</p><p>

I mention these two a lot, but if anyone ever gets bored Anguish and Misery could really use an updating
