Description
When the elven princess is suddenly ambushed by a band of orcs, her bodyguard quickly springs into action coming to her defense....
This image is the result of a rather lengthy exercise in better learning DAS Studio 4, the Genesis figure....and its clothing and posing. I am uploading now it so I will stop continuously tinkering with it. This is my first multi Genesis figure scene, and I learned a few things:
1. The autofit tool is great for fitting V4 and M4 clothing to Genesis, but once it does it, you lose all movement morphs for the clothing.
2. V4 and M4 poses sometimes work on Genesis, sometimes they produce very strange results. DAZ has just released a tool that will convert M4 and V4 poses for Genesis and it should come in very handy, but I haven't tried it yet. In general, however, posing Genesis from scratch is not as difficult as it is with the generation 4 figures.
3. Mesh smoothing is great for dealing with movement and poke throughs in clothing, but it can really slow things down when you have multiple characters clothed with Genesis clothing. Best to turn it off once you clothe your character and then turn back on before rendering.
4. The Genesis male lacks a very important male part, but if you try to add M4 genitals, the autofit tool treats them like a piece of clothing and produces highly unacceptable results that cannot be shown on Renderosity! I did learn a quick PS trick to give the poor fellow the appropriate shape in his trousers!
All in all it was fun learning new things and I hope you like the image. Thanks for viewing and your comments...I appreciate your support!!
Nice detail in full size, feel free to ZOOM!

I love playing with Genesis, but it had a different set of problems. Sure the arms bend nice, but poke through still happens....so I'm going with PP2012 vs DS4 for now....this is great for a first run though! I hope you master it to your desire ;)
Beautiful image! I love the poses and lighting!
I love it. Looks like we are all learning DS4Pro together.
A most beautifully constructed scene! The characters are all so pleasing to the eyes! I thank you for sharing them with us! Most excellent all around artwork! I won't be getting any of the genesis characters for quite some time. Funds being the primary obstacle. But I still am quite happy with the current generation of M4/V4 characters and I have so many things for them, poses, clothing, characters..... I just can't see changing over just yet. Also, I would need to upgrade my computer which, again, is not going to happen for the foreseeable future.... eg.... funds... That old bugaboo. Now that I am retired, I really don't see the funds thing ever changing for me, unless I will the lottery, tee hee! But I keep trying. Thanks for all your wonderful information on these new characters and letting us know some of the limitations. I really appreciate you taking the time to do this for us. You are so very kind to share your knowledge and your remarkably superb artistry! I feel most fortunate to know you!
