Learning Dark Arts

Come learn the art of 3D computer generated art and animation. This blog deals with the lessons learned and the art created by Robert G. Male using DazStudio from Daz3D. Also covered are the ancillary software, tools, techniques, and processes needed both before and after rending in the 3D software.

Whip It Out

Warning: The following post uses proper terms, and medical terms for body parts. If you are uncomfortable with that stop reading now.

A little while ago I got my hands on the Michael 4 Morphs++. I was just using it yesterday and it looks like I have to add whatever dials I want to Michael individually. Maybe I'm just not seeing them in the new set up for DazStudio 4. Along with everything else the Morphs++ comes with genitalia for M4. I had that accessory for David. There was always a problem though. I never had a character map that used it, so it was always essentially useless. This time with M4 is different. I thought it might be difficult to find a character map that used it but once I went into the People section of the store, limited the items to Michael 4 and then typed "genitals" into the Search Within box I received recommendations. The search term "genitalia" yields two more M4 characters. I chose to go with the Raphael character.

The maps have to be applied to the M4 Genitalia figure separate from the M4 figure since there are two separate figures. I noticed that when I apply the maps that parts of it appear translucent or nearly see-through until rendered. Also, depending on the angle some postproduction work may be required to soften out a very square perineum between the buttocks behind the scrotum.

In a related note, more recently I also bought the Victoria 4 Elite Body Shapes including Utopia, Fantasia, and Sylph morphs. Included along with that, unknown to me, was a dial marked GenitalCrease2, which augments or replaces the normal V4 dial for a more 3D look than before. Now I have everything I need for whatever nude images I need to make. I no longer remember specific images that required a full male figure, but I'm sure new ones will come to mind now that I am no longer limited by the lack of maps.
