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.

Michael 5 Pro Bundle

I have so many ideas for scenes with dragons, fighters, warriors etc, that it was only a matter of time before I had to pick up Michael 5. There’s only so much you ca do with Victoria. Sure, hot chicks fighting dragons is awesome, but sometimes your scene really just needs a dude.

With that, I decided to pick up the Michael 5 Pro Bundle. It’s packed with goodies. Buying the bundle is such a better deal than just buying the base and picking up everything separately. There’s some stuff in the bundle I can do without, but overall, it’s a got a bunch of nice things to get me started out. Not to mention you save yourself a few hundred bucks.

The bundle comes with 2 characters: Michael and Michael Hero. As the name suggests, Michael Hero is a pretty huge badass character. As compared to the “regular” Michael, the difference is striking. He’s not just taller, he’s ripped too.

I’m sure most of my scene are going to use the Hero charter as opposed to the “everyday man” so I’ll focus on that for now. I applied the James texture.

It’s a very detailed, high quality texture.

That’s funny. Totally Arnold.

The bundle comes with a few different hair styles as well as some very complete clothing sets. Being based off Genesis, the clothes will fit the Genesis 2 female base too. Which will come in handy for some duos. It’s also nice to know that some of my other genesis 2 assets will also fit Michael.

The first scene I plan on working on will also make use of the Millennium Dragon 2 bundle that I bought. I though a highlander fighting a dragon would look pretty neat. Also, being Scottish, I have a thing for kilts.

I picked up the Highland Lad to use in my scene, and gave him a huge sword.

I have some other things to finish up first, but I just needed to get this out of my head so I can better visualize it.

Pretty cool.
