I admit it: I'm a total geek. I love electronics, programming, 3D printing, 3D art, and vintage Apple hardware. I'm always juggling half a dozen projects. I also enjoy documenting it all: my successes, my failures, my experiences... and everything geeky along the way.

The Freak 5 Pro Bundle

Week 4 of DAZ’s Platinum Club Anniversary sale is underway. You know what that means? That means the rewards for Week 3 were unlocked. If you’re unaware how it works, for the entire month of October, DAZ posts new Platinum Club items daily. Every new item you buy for the week earns you a point. Six points unlocks Tier 1 and some rewards. (Coupons, discounts, freebies.) Six more items unlocks Tier 2 and a deeper discount, bigger coupon, etc.

Week 3’s reward was the Pro Bundle of your choice.

David 5 is more of an everyday man. Not really my style. I like the fantasy stuff: warriors, dragon slayers. That sort of thing. Not dudes walking around looking like they belong in some pretty-boy band. I already have Michael 5 and Victoria 5. The choice was clear: The Freak 5 it is.

The Freak 5 Pro Bundle is normally $99.95, or $59.97 on sale with a Platinum Club Membership.

The bundle comes with a decent amount of stuff. Not as much as what came with the M5 and V5 bundles, but enough to get you going.

Just like the M5 character, there’s a default character and a “super” character.

I threw some boxers on them and rendered them out. Pretty massive looking dudes.

How massive? I threw V4 and M5 in there for a comparison. Yeh. Massive.

The bundle comes with a few characters: Andrei and Derek.

Of course, their skin looks a little shiny because I don’t have any lights in the scene, but not bad.

I gave Andrei the Flat Top hair and Colonel Chaos outfit. I gave Derek the Barbarian Warlord outfit.

There’s also a Hitman outfit, some Cool hair, some chainmail pants for the Barbarian Warlord outfit, and some Fantasy hair.

There’s also a bunch of poses and head morphs, but I haven’t gone through them fully.

I did want to throw something together that was quick for the blog topper, so I dressed them up, gave them some swords, and posed them. I then threw the two brutes into the A Thousand and Two Nights set along with some lights and gave it a quick render.

Cool, but it needs a sharper angle, some more lights, and some sky in the background.

A Slight Disagreement

Sweet. These guys are going to look awesome kicking some dragon butt!!
