This is a work in progress which is why the render is piss weak. Next time I should have a beefy bass player in there and everything should be a lot cleaner. For now here's a throwback to the 80's 😉
Reflections are awsome. Drummers are great.
few thing that Im not sure about.
Tongue covers lower teeth in both singers. Looks like they want to lick the mic.
I like Spiderman but pants without the rest of the suit feels wrong.
Lead singer should be in pron instead. Must be packing a horse penis.
Sweat effects look ok but something just seem not right. cant really lable it.
LOL! The singer is a caricature of W Axl Rose, the frontman of Guns 'N Roses. He was famous for wearing skintight pants and shorts with crazy motifs like spiderman or the American flag, oh yeah he also wore cowboy boots at the same time, yet he didn't seem to look ridiculous, at the time anyway. Not to mention the bandana, makeup and other weird shit, The 80's were a strange time indeed.
The bulge in his pants is another joke about pants stuffing which also was prevalent in that decade, see Spinal Tap the movie for further info!
I'm on it, can't wait to see it myself. 🙂
UPDATE: Serious and annoying issues have developed as soon as I added the Bass player into the scene, the first and foremost the texture and geometry size ballooning to well in excess of 11GB meaning my 8GB Video card refused to render the scene and passed the job onto my pissy CPU instead. This would mean many hours of rendering and I didn't spend $1200 on rendering hardware so it could take a holiday at my expense. Besides I was suspicious that a scene this small could be so frickin' texture hungry so I've been investigating ever since and trying different techniques to bring it down in size. I won't bore you with the details but I did manage to crank out this nice and clean render sans the drummer.
PS: I did reduce the ridiculous bulge in Axl's spideroos. While funny at first it failed to amuse after a short amount of time and looked just plain ridiculous.
Remember, none of this would have happened if you would have just hired an old school double-bass player. Yes, he would have been civilized, but he might have been that one figure that would keep a sense of order in both the band and in your render. Heck, you could have even made that Bass player a Asian Female. She could even present a Jekle and Hyde persona and when the rest of the band takes an intermission, she could whip out a bow and start doing a Viola-type montreux and wow the crowd as she sits with that Double Bass between her legs with a wicked Billy-T or Hongyu slitted dress. Or something like that. On a serious note, I am dumbfounded that your machine can't handle that render.
That's my two pesos. I am dropping the mic as I hit enter - Poof and feedback.Your diatribe is long and rambling so it must be worthy of consideration. I shall pencil you in for a reply in ...say June 2046?
Now to business. I grew bored with trying to figure out why DAZ studio behaves erratically and I grew fond of the last design so I tarted it up a little, cleaned up and adjusted a few bits and pieces and added a custom Dimebag Daryl axe and hit the render button on a 10K print copy. I'm quite happy with it and am inspired to do a series of caricatures featuring over the top musicians, we'll see.
Here's the final image.
Rank:
Digging the imagery, but still hate the total self absorbed douche that is Axl Rose.
@burgerchick & @Adam, Poor Axl. He was destined to be a God but was brought down to earth by outgrowing stadiums, arenas, olympic Villages and ultimately betrayed by mere mortal zoning laws. If he was a cartoon character he would be the lead singer in Metalocalypse and right at home in that outrageous lifestyle. All he has left is his millions of dollars and legions of die hard fans as well as the legacy of the true masterpiece that is Appetite for Destruction. A bittersweet legacy if there ever was one.
I really like G+R when they first came out. As well as Motley Crue, Ratt, ACDC, ect...
I also Like Prince, Fat Boys, Run DMC.ect...
I like almost everything besides 99% of country. ( Hate Country )I got wasted to Peter Frampton and drove miles listening to Ludwig van Beethoven.
If you were to say I could only listen to 1 band ever it would be Led Zeppelin. If you were kind enough to give me 2 choices the 2nd would be Pink Floyd. Id have to think hard on a third choice but it wouldnt be GnR.
Forgot some stuff like Tool. Slayer, M Manson, Metallica,W Zombie ect..
On topic, Thinking about the render I think you should render just the Bass with the backround then the others with the backround. You could easily combine them in photoshop.
I had to do this for a render because it ate all my memory and crapped out. Mainly I think because I have to many lights on to many characters.
