I've been working on some custom characters to release and this one is nearly ready. I liked how this pic turned out, just thought I would share and add some shameless self promotion while I'm at it.
I plan on making some more characters but this one I'll release in the free section. I need some feedback on the character, promos, icons etc. I'm not sure how to handle the skin (PBR or UBER?). The makeup is LIE but IDK if that's what I should keep it as. I was considering doing some geoshell makeup but I'm not sure. The character is Genesis 8 but works well with 8.1.
Jewelry or no?
Is it just a face morph or an entire character? If it includes body modifications you should do at least one bikini shot. If you're doing custom textures I'd include a nude behind a link.
If you're undecided about shading, pick the one you like best. It is after all your project.
I wouldn't add makeup unless you state what you used or include it. Sux getting models that don't look like the promo.
Model in the pic looks cute.
She looks excellent.
A very nicely presented character.
TBH I think Uber or PBR largely comes down to personal preference.
Mine is for Uber.
Bear in mind to keep the textures optimised.
.jpg are fine, no need for .png or .tiff, especially in the normal files.Jewelry in promos or included in package?
Either way, I think 'yes' but don't overdo it. Keep it simple.
Remember to credit items not included in the package that are used in promos.
If you don't state them, you are bound to get queries about hair or clothing used.@Gaver
Thanks 🙂I wanted to make a professional product, not some disorganized mess (I'm trying 😀 ). There's separated head and body morphs, HD Details morph and a full character morph. There's the skin, 8 eye options, and 5 makeup + stand-alone eye liner. I'll admit, there's some ugliness to some of these makeups but I'm attempting to salvage them, we'll see lol. I'm going to add promo duf files in the character folder so people can truly get the actual promo-setup! I hate to have to hunt down and dial in crap to get the look of those promos. I think this is probably the best thing to do, I wish artists could and would do that (I get that there are legal bs reasons for not doing it but...I just wish they would anyway). I'll post up some more promo pics so you can see the body, I have pics of older versions of this character that are not as good so I'll work some pics up today so you guys could see it.
Some pics of the interface cards:

https://new.imagehostx.com/upload/2024/11/05/RCCMG-Cards3_1730820120.jpgI'll get some more pics posted along with NSFW images so you can see the body morph.
Got your pm, thanks so much for the offer man. I'll take you up on that!
This isn't the finale product, this is the morphs dialed @ 100% and the HD Detail Morph @ 50%. No UNBM was used, no post work done for now; I only adjusted basic poses for the NSFW nude body promo so people could see how the morph reacts without any corrections. IDK how I feel about this (black background & bikini body pose?) but I like the head pic for sure (clearly gets the info across) and I do kinda like the NSFW pose but maybe not black for the background. Interested in what you guys/gals think.
NSFW Body:

Wow @Buster !
From the first post I thought she looks amazing and would like to put her in the narrative I'm working on; she looks great to cast and would even create a role for her!
That's strengthened by the latest posts: two thumbs way, way up!
Sent you a pm
@3dmouse
Thanks man, I'll take you up on the offer! Looking forward to feedback. 🙂
Spectral/Faithful/CIE 1964
First spectral render. Just figured out this was a thing from @3dmouse ! Thanks man!
@Buster Congratulations! Great start.
For a free set, you even went a bit above and beyond.To prepare the makeup, I would use Adobe Substance 3D Painter. It’s convenient, and you could create many variations with several masks.
How did you make the HD Morph? Did you get PA status with Daz?
Wishing you success in this. Solid start.I'm still learning how to do all of this so thanks for pointing me into Substance, I have yet to crack that prog open so I'll have to see what a nightmare that'll be.
Just started messing with it about 3 weeks ago. I couldn't figure out how to make an HD morph so I took one from another character and adjusted the dial to match/fit this model. No PA status for me lol.
No plans on making real money off of this asset nor points. I just wanted to contribute to the community by creating something new and hopefully desired/appreciated. I was curious about how some of this stuff was made and I'm learning quite a bit, it's interesting to me.
There is a niche approach to this asset that is planned and I want to wait to see the results but it is looking promising so far. There are two parts to this character, one focused on realism and another aspect leaning into a fictional direction. So there would be the asset as seen here, then an add-on to go with it. That way people could completely ignore the fictional and the dials/skins that go with that if they want. I'm hoping to have this completed by Christmas so who ever is interested might get something nice for the holidays.
I have a new found respect for the artists now. I'm starting to see what it's taking to create content to the extent that I can without more tools/info.
Thanks for the kind words. 🙂
I'm not absolutely sure of the finale name but I don't want to say it just yet because it involves the fictional aspect and that's not something I'm sure I'll do. Still need to see how well it applies to this. If it applies well then there will be a series of characters; male and female.
This particular character asset will be made for G8F as the base but I'm going to make sure it'll transfer well to 8.1F.
