Lonely Kind Man for M4

Lonely Kind Man for M4

Daz Celebrity 3D Model

Lonely kind man for M4 is a classic lookalike character for Daz Studio and Poser.  The artists odnajdy and D_jerry bring us this character. Over at renderosity, they have earned a reputation for creating realistic celebrity 3D models for the Victoria 4 and Michael 4 generation, as well as Genesis 2. They have a notable skill at creating realistic skin textures that react well to light.

From a user’s perspective, you get the character built on Michael 4 for both Poser and Daz Studio.  This character also includes a hair prop for both software packages.  Another standout feature of this character is the inclusion of 14 emotion morphs.  Read on to learn more.

Materials

Lonely kind man for M4 includes full materials and the readme file includes a list of the optimum render settings within poser.  You may have to analyse the readme file carefully as the english is a little broken, but still fully usable!  The artists have been praised on renderosity for their skilled use of bump and displacement maps.  For those who are new to 3d models, bump maps provide additional information that makes a surface react more realistically to light.  The displacement map also changes the geometry adding to even greater realism. In the example below you can see some of these details as the light reacts to the skin surfaces.

There are also Pose files included for hair and bald head options.  Extra features like this are always welcome!

Shaping

This character has over 29 INJ files to alter the base shape of Michael 4.  The face includes many alterations.  Here is a sideview that shows the adjustments that the artists have made to create a familiar likeness:

The readme file includes all the installation instructions needed for both Poser and Daz Studio users.  The artists have included several paragraphs of detail to instruct users about the correct order of applying morphs etc.  Users of both Daz Studio and Poser should see absolutely no difference in the characters shaping.  The other feature is the inclusion of 14 emotion dials.  These are the preferred way to show a range of emotions without distorting mesh.  These have been tested in Poser and work very well.

What can this model be used for

Digital artists will no doubt be creating many movie parodies with this character.  The detailed face renders almost photo perfect. The Renderosity galleries include many examples of Lonely Kind Man parody art. This character also suits users who have an interest in animation and video games. The simplified mesh of Michael 4 is less intensive on memory and renders fast on modern hardware.
