Michael, Michael, Michael, and Michael

Description

For whatever reason, I had the urge to put all the Genesis Michaels in a scene together to see how they'd changed.

It's ... interesting.

Apparently, every other Michael is SCREAMINGLY PALE! Though, to be fair, in part it may look like that because neither Michael 5 nor Michael 6 were designed for Iray.

Michael 5 Phillip got set up with Anagenessis 2, which is another reason why he doesn't look quite as pale as his successors. Anagenessis loves him and wants to have his virtual babies, frankly. (Except for his dingus. Not sure what happened there. May not have applied that shader correctly. Given that, it may not so much want to have his babies as to be really good friends.)

Michael 6 Nevio is set up for a scene I never quite got around to -- hence the tattoos, earrings and ear plugs -- but if I do, it will make this image infinitely more disturbing. Also, I have no idea why he has red hair. It's supposed to be black with red highlights and something went moderately wrong, and I just ran with it. He's a bad boy who believes in hair dye, OK?

Michael 7 is still set up for his role in Eddie's Journal. Which I should continue with at some point. (Also, apropos of absolutely nothing in this scene, I want to try to do a couple glamour images of Eddie that are sort of like SpyroRue's Eddie images. Just because.)

And finally, introducing Michael 8. Who, for some bizarre reason, in this generation of the ultra-tan, is amazingly, blindingly fair. Mind, I did chop his translucency setting almost in half -- from 0.9 to 0.55 -- because every render I tried with him before that came out not with him being terribly tan -- which would have been OK, actually, all things considered -- but because they all seemed to come out with him being famously florid (that is, red), which was not OK. More tinkering may be needed ... if ever I even begin to understand the new shader model. Since I barely kinda sorta understand the previous shader model, not sure how well that will work. Also, like Michael 7, his base textures don't have a separate character name. Kind of miss that, actually.

I think Michael 8 needs to brush the snow off and get out to the beach or something, especially standing next to 7 like that. :)
