The Inner Sanctum 5 - Wallpaper

Hello Steve, Glad you like it and it's one of my favorites too, but I'm afraid not. It's a project from a long time ago, before the big bang, when my hard drive crashed and all project files were lost. Gladly I had published the series before, otherwise that would have been gone as well. Still thinking of picking it up some day, to do a sequel for this one.

Are any images of Narcissis available on this patreon page?' I love that and think it was your best work. I'd like to be sure I've seen it all!!

Me again goede avond. I grabed the C4D demo as per your advice and started playing with it (time consuming). Looks really good. It's highly probable I will treat me well for Xmas ! Now I have a question : I understand you export your men from DS (posed) to C4D for texturing and rendering. Question is : how do you apply the textures ? There must be tricky issues as transparencies and bumps und so weiter...

Michael

Great and thanks for that! I'll keep that in mind, for I'm sure I'll be needing that one day. I sure need to look more into DAZ Studio.... :o)

This can be also used eg to create a bulge or a depression of the skin when a finger presses it. But as the result depends on the size of the polygons, I found it impossible to simulate a skin pinching. This deformations can be saved as presets and then used as dialable morphs.

Hi, in fact there is a possibility to alter the geometry of the skull in Daz Studio using the DForm tool. <a href="http://www.daz3d.com/forums/viewthread/6484/" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">http://www.daz3d.com/forums/viewthread/6484/</a>

Yes, it is, but it's truly a fantastic program! I could never have afforded such a ting, but with the help of many very, very generous patrons.... Best thing ever! :o))

Priapus of Milet

Thanks. C4D is expensive, even in the basic version... (840 € here in France).

Michael

Yes, the content is secure, so I'm not exactly sure what the issue is. They started flagging my files quite randomly, so certain images (some with no nudity at all) and the latest video update has been blocked several times. I guess it's an automated system, but it seems that Google (after been banned by Blogger, PayPal and Tumblr) is starting to change it's policy as well. Times are changing... ;o)

I'm a bit surprised at Google finding the present content of the animation objectionable. We haven't got to the action yet. Is the sight of erect penises so terrible and are they as timid at the sight of a vagina? I'm assuming that the content is secure so that people idly browsing won't inadvertantly access it or is it something rather more sinister like the penis symbolically represents the patriarchy (whatever that is) and should be suppressed.

Michael Roberts

Having setup a website for work I know what you mean regarding security and payment facilities.

So far I haven's seen any tools that can adjust the back of the scull, so i'm afraid there's no other option. I'm only familiar with C4D, so if I can be of any assistance with that, please let me know.

Thanks for your reply. I am amazed by your art at taking the most from commercial products to fit your needs : all your men and boys are awesome. In particular, I’ve a crush on those playing in Shooting The Past and in Morpheus Dream. Very very impressed also by the poetry and baroque beauty of The Champion. In fact I have morphs, e.g. Caucasian Faces by biala. Forgetting the presets, I play with the many morphs that come with the product, including one that moves the ears back and forth. But it remains impossible to get rid of the ugly round shape of the back of the skull. I understand this would require actual modelling (preferably outside Daz Studio) with all the risks involved. Thanks again and keep going, David !

Michael

Thanks Michael! That's really good to hear and always glad to answer questions. I don't use any other program to model the character, but I have several morph add-ons that are available. That does the trick for me, but there's only so much you can do with them, and the cranium is one of them. You can however model or adjust your characters yourself in DAZ. I have no experience with that, but there're several tutorials on YouTube. This is one of them: <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3Srsy-iDzQw" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3Srsy-iDzQw</a> Hope this will help!

David, this latest December wallpaper of yours certainly pictures a lot of our sexual desires and is a damnation in terms of posing work. The intricacies of working in 3d bring me to ask you a technical question. First, do not feel bound to respond would you choose to preserve your artist's private garden. Second, here is the question : it seems to me your men go far beyond the standard morphs available in Daz Studio. How do you morph your men ? Is it just in Daz or do you use another programme, such as Hexagon, ZBrush or C4D ? My dream would be to recreate Tom of Finland's Kake and friends but I find impossible to modify the cranium shape, which is essential (seen from left or right view, the ear is in the middle of the skull). Thanks !

Michael

Yes, Patreon is slow to load and I'm figuring out how to solve this issue. The images are currently hosted non Google Drive and that's not working for me, also because their'e changing their content policy as well, hence all the issues with posting my animation. :o| Not sure however that my own site will replace this one, for it's very complicated to create something similar, with all the security, legal and payment issues....

Priapus of Milet

Hi David, I've always thought you should have your own website. I find viewing images on Patreon slow to load, and I have a very fast line speed. The images are small and if you enlarge a particular image when you exit it the page refreshes and downloads everything again. Perhaps I'm using it wrong

Michael Roberts

Hi Rick. Not sure yest, but there still seem to be several sites that still accept adult content (for the time being...) Another option would be to create my own website. So I'm still looking around, and in the meantime there's till my Priapus Blog and plenty of others who show my work ;o)

Priapus of Milet

Hi! Something unrelated I want to mention: How will you adjust to the Tumblr ban? I am so glad I found you and sign up on Patreon before this. It could be a crisis for many content creators D:

Thanks Stephen! The images seem to be working fine, it's the posting of the video in the Add-Ons section that is causing problems. The links keep on breaking and can't seem to be able to fix it. Very annoying :o/

Priapus of Milet

The perfect love knot - I don't know how you do it and do not have the technical knowledge to understand if you explained - all I know is that I love the image - David you certainly know how to press the 'buttons'

Stephen F Clissold

Thanks! :o)

I agree, "hot!"

Danny York

Very hot.
