All of them are fantastic, amazing work! This guy is a really hidden gem of the CVerse, good to see him getting some love!

In fact Europe in general has some hidden gems, really happy to see you giving them some superstar renders

Any Re-renders for Hirokazu Yamanoue and Hirosugu Satou out there? I’ve gone through the boards but I can’t seem to find any. cheers! 

This is the Willr0ck Satou I'm using but I am not sure it was originally meant for him. If not then I haven't seen one either. I am using a random undertaker free pic for Yamanoue as I don't believe he has ever been re-rendered

Oh no I guess I killed the thread, lol. Here's some random re-reneders for a diary I'm project I'm working on. It's strange for me to render non-Japanese workers...

As always Willr0ck is an impossible act to follow, but I'm going to try...

I've been fairly quiet on here recently as I'm working on a mod project so all my focus has been on that. However, after this render I just had to share. I did want to give it some context though.

One of my all time favourite renders has been this one below from @WillyWillyWilly - I included it in my CV Expansion Pack mod as the character 'Elixir'. She's one of the characters I'm reworking for aforementioned project, but for as much love as I have for the render, it has become a little dated. (Side point, seriously take a look back at renders from just ~5 years ago, it's incredible how much digital art has progressed in such a short space of time, and that's without AI involvement entering the discussion.) But anyway the render had been such an influence on the character that I didn't just want to come up with a new image, I wanted to honour the original.

WillyWillyWilly's fantastic render.

After a hell of a lot of work, some creative licence, and more texture editing work on paint.net than I have ever attempted before, I managed to come up with the new render which I'm very proud of. It's not perfect, it was probably the longest render project I've taken on, but I'm really happy with the result.

Frustratingly I don't have the best computer for rendering and I'm far too poor to afford new DAZ products, let alone a new PC, so there was still a lot of 'specks' left in her hair - however not only can you hardly see that in the 150 x 150, but I think it actually looks as though she's got glitter in her hair, further adding to the look. (Another side point, I'll always remember reading from someone, I believe it was @smw88about not worrying about minor imperfections as they're usually eradicated when you downsize the render to 150 x 150 - a timeless tip whoever said it [sorry if I've misattributed the quote!]).

Anyway, if you don't like this render, or don't think it's as good as I do, I hope that you at least take away from this how we all inspire each other and art inspires art etc. Thanks to all the great renderers/graphics makers/other material creators in this community for the influence you've had on me!

Excellent work willr0ck and Azzak!

 

It is crazy how quickly things progressed, it felt like for years everything was at the same standard then suddenly everything shot up a gear or two and now things are crazy good. Like you said Azzak, things that were absolutely top quality just a few years ago already look dated, which is actually a shame as they are fantastic renders that I'm sure people worked hard on, but things are just improving rapidly from what I've seen.

 

As for your render, I think you did the original justice! That's actually a render I've always thought stood out too for some reason, yours is a great "modern" version of her!
