I'm just gonna squee now! I love it! Indy is my all time favourite character
January 25, 2018 at 7:44 pm #472698@Morri
Then I dedicate it to you... Raiders of the Lost Ark is my favorite film of all time!
January 25, 2018 at 8:01 pm #472721<3 thank you!
I love Raiders too. Though I prefer Last Crusade, Harrison and Sean bounced off each other so well. I had the biggest crush on Harrison Ford growing up
January 25, 2018 at 8:05 pm #472727@Morri
He's still a good looking man, especially for 75.
And you're right, what better combination than Jones and Bond, right?
I remember when Indy 4 was still in development, and there was speculation about whether or not Connery would return... Harrison said "they'd better hurry up; he's getting too old to play my father..."
The real joke in that is that Connery is only 10 years older than Ford... lolJanuary 25, 2018 at 8:13 pm #472732No denying that but I've got my own knight in shining armour these days 😉
I was really disappointed in Indy 4, the aliens part of it anyway. I loved it up until aliens and it just killed the whole thing for me.
January 25, 2018 at 8:16 pm #472738I'm sure Indy 5 is going to make you miss Indy 4 now that Disney has it...
January 25, 2018 at 8:28 pm #472744@nemain, oh Glob yes. I'd heard bad things about it but brushed it off until I watched it. I mean I can get past some things, even "Lebouf" but when it was all like, "hey, it's really Aliens and they're going home now...". Fuck that film!
@jbuckland1984 if you're going to have Indy holding a whip, then watch out how you pose the whip hand. When you throw the whip to "crack" it, you'll want it parallel to your arm and your thumb will usually point down the direction it's pointing. It's a big object and will amplify any issues you have with your pose.In regards to the army shirt, it looks really "doll clothes" like and if it was me, I'd just use another shirt that looks better.
January 25, 2018 at 11:44 pm #472854Well finally a forum post I can rant on that somebody else started. LOL
I skimmed the posts to get the gist. 😉
I agree, too much sameness. I'm getting into tweaking figures myself. I'm not the best as its still new to me but I think I'm getting better. I've also noticed that the figures are all the same height. So I change their scale as well.
I got back into DS because I wanted to do peroid Pin-Ups. 40-50-60-70s, and I'll be damned if there are any clothing items, or even hair styles. So disappointing.
I'm a professional artist. I paint digital sci-fi, fantasy and spacescapes. I took a break this past year because of my now ex leaving me for another man and I've been depressed, however, during the past 10 years, I've been doing cons, been on numerous panels as a pro artist and I can't tell you how much crap Daz/Poser receives. But I know why. Because its available to the masses who AREN'T artists. Crap pics are pumped out on an hourly basis by people who basically just click and render. And those pieces are seen more widely by the masses and have become the norm. Have become the acceptable. So when someone mentions Daz/Poser to another artist, its the ewwww response. All they've seen is the crap pics and thats what they associate with. Also because the models are pre-made.
However, as an example, mention Zbrush and the response is quite different. For one, because if someone shows off a Zbrush model, they probably modeled it themselves. But its still a 3D figure. BUT they don't realize that Zbrush is also used for Daz/Poser figures also.I prefer DS now, so lets go with that. Because of its realism ability, (not photo realistic. Realism), I really like DS. I like its potential with human figures as I like Bryce for my scifi ship potential and Photoshop for my spacescapes.
For me personally, I like to use many tools, and by doing so, I separate myself from the mass crap productions. Unfortunately, it doesn't get recognized because people are so accustomed to the crap. And then others that produce crap rave about the crap and wouldn't know a good piece of art if it chewed their genitals off. So all the crap pieces stay in the forefront as well as the crap artists.But I won't conform. I don't want my art to look like a cheezy poser render.
Another example. I have a friend who is an awesome artist when it comes to drawing a certain creature, which he is known for. However, his humans sucks bad. Bodies are just OK but the faces are horrendous. His females look like guys that have been run over by a supernova. I'm not kidding. Yet people rave about those paintings. His portraits of fans are even worse. My females are 1000x better yet don't even get a blink. And yet he criticizes others on their human figures. SMH.
Ahhhh. The art world.. LOL
One more thing.. How many Angelina Jolie figures does Daz actually need? seriously..
January 25, 2018 at 11:58 pm #472859OK, so I think I'm living a Mandella Effect here. I swear I saw Raiders of the Lost Ark in 77 when I was 15. I remember it so clearly. It was opening weekend. I was in a receiving home waiting to go to either a foster home or group home. The other boys and I snuck into the bathroom to smoke. It was a double feature and the second movie was The Farmer. And I got in trouble for smoking by our foster father.
But the internet says it came out in 81. woah.January 25, 2018 at 11:59 pm #472860@nemain - as a purveyor of fine internet porn since fine internet porn was a thing, awful 3d porn has been around a long time 😀 I assume back in the day it was mostly poser, these days I think it's a fair split between poser and DAZ and then there's a whole world of animated fan porn using the Steam Movie Maker and game characters.
January 26, 2018 at 12:06 am #472862You nailed it @drgnmztr
Probably my jealous streak coming out, but I can post an original image into the Rendo gallery that I think looks damn good, and then get 5 comments. Then see the “top” artists post their same ole cookie cutter crap and get 80 comments within a few hours.
We’re probably both thinking of the same artists.
I know I shouldn’t care what other people think of my art, but there’s a part of all of us that would like a little recognition for our hard work.
January 26, 2018 at 12:12 am #472870That was Han Solo, not Indy!
Star Wars came out in ‘77. Harrison Ford was virtually unknown. In fact, Lucas was waiting on another known actor to read lines with Carrie Fisher, but the was stuck in traffic. So he he asked a carpenter working on the set to fill in temporarily. That carpenter was Harrison Ford and got the part, and had just about given up on his acting dream.
January 26, 2018 at 12:27 am #472888@robf4g210 DEFINITELY a jealous streak, as with me. Damn straight I'm jealous. But its also the fact that people are blind and stupid. Yes. I said it.
I don't get any comments though.
It pisses me off. People are idiots. I really do hate humans. Its like all this crap art in galleries. Somebody takes some paint and splashes it against a canvas and it sells for $500K. Or they put a paint brush in an elephants trunk and it sells for $1.5M.. Or they call a piece of rusted metal bent and twisted that looks like a house gutter, art, and it sells for $275K. While I have people come into my booths bitching about a $20 print of something that took me a week to paint. Or, they say their 5 year old paints stuff like mine all the time. Seriously? Where's his booth then lady?
Then, you add painting digitally on top of that and then add my genres, damn. I'm fighting a non winning straight up cliff battle.
January 26, 2018 at 12:29 am #472892@robf4g210 I've NEVER seen Star Wars in the theater. EVER!
January 26, 2018 at 12:32 am #472899@jbuckland1984 there appears to be some semblance of a british officer uniform in this pack https://www.daz3d.com/uniforms-for-michael-6
(https://zonegfx.com/uniforms-for-michael-6/)
but the amount of work needed to get it indy style might be better spent on a different shirt. -
