Hello, Hivewire3d's community. I’m not sure if this is the place for product requests, but this seemed like the best place to put this thread. In October, I created an account with Hivewire3D for one primary reason: to purchase the Hanging Gardens of Nimrud from Ken Gilliland. Ever since I started using Daz Studio in 2015, I’ve looked for Mesopotamian-themed sets, props, and outfits to help me create biblical renders. Yet those of us who would like to make biblical renders are sort of out of luck because most of the ancient Near Eastern products Daz artists have created are based on ancient Egypt. The other Middle Eastern-themed products are based on Arabia and Persia. I would like to illustrate a biblical novel I want to write that will take place in a Mesopotamian-like setting similar to that of Hollywood screenwriter Brian Godawa's Noah Primeval novel. But the only outfit I've found that's closest to anything Mesopotamian is Salome by Val3dArt at Renderosity. The main Mesopotamian-themed sets I’ve found are the Hanging Gardens of Nimrud and DM’s Ancient Places. Meshbox also has biblical and Mesopotamian-themed sets. The Hanging Gardens of Nimrud is the largest of all of them, but it’s not meant for Iray. When I render it in Iray, its okay but the colors are dull and too bright, and the wall art is somewhat blurry.
I would like to suggest outfits for a Mesopotamian king, queen, male commoner, female commoner, and any other outfits, like the ones in the images here in my product suggestion page at Daz3D. Those beautiful images are a few examples of Mesopotamian outfits I would love to see. I don’t own Dawn or Dusk; I use Genesis characters from Daz3d, particularly Genesis 3 Male and Genesis 3 Female. I would like these outfits to conform to the figure of any generation 3 character, no matter what pose you put them in. And, like many products Daz offers, such as the Egyptian Outfit for Genesis 3 Female, I would like them to have changeable textures. In addition to these outfits, I would also like to suggest a Mesopotamian chariot (complete with an umbrella and poses for G3M and G3F), Mesopotamian statues, and a Mesopotamian warrior outfit, again, like the ones in my product suggestion thread at Daz3D.
Regarding the Mesopotamian city, like in the images and videos you see here on another one of my product suggestion pages at Daz3D, it could contain a temple complex (including a ziggurat), houses, civic buildings, gates, walls, streets, desert plants, and anything else 3D artists would want to include. Also, it would be great if these buildings had interiors, and different camera angles and poses for Genesis 3 Male and Genesis 3 Female could be included throughout the set. This would be a large product, perhaps it could come in several separate sets, but I would absolutely love to own it. Among other characters, I think characters like Priya for G3F, Rani for G3F, Ronan for G3M, and perhaps Makani for Kimo 7 would be perfect for this.
All of the products I’m suggesting would be great if they were created with Iray materials.
The website kadingirra.com presents a detailed 3D reconstruction of Babylon. Yet, at least on my laptop, this website is experiencing some technical problems, and it’s hard to click on anything. But the images and videos in my thread at Daz3D are great examples of what I’m suggesting.
Unfortunately, the Daz artist V3Digitimes has told me Mesopotamian-based products are not popular, but I would like to continue making my request anyway. What do you think of these product requests?
