....and yet another thread in our long discussion:) I have just sent out betas of the "Summer Wear One" package for animedoll out to all the testers. If you are a tester and you didn't recieve yours, let me know. If you like the package, post some pictures. marty

:0) :0) :0) :0)

well it became so long that in fact it would even worth you making a forum for your products on your team website, i guess ! (a phpbb one anyway; for search engin it is rather better thazn here :)

i hope to add a forum to my site one day. but i have to find new hosting first,my hosting company is sucking me dry on bandwith prices. the3dzone

We don't have a team website yet, at least I don't think so. For best exposure to the 3d community, I honestly feel its best to keep the forum running here. With the next product release, I will be posting these links on all the promo pages. Now that you mention it, I have a little pet project that I started because I am sick of censorship and whiney people that impose a sort of un-official censorship. Its a website, but I don't really have a server for it and all the expertise to set it up. It needs a forum to work really well. Does anyone want to help. You can see my prototype idea at http://www.geocities.com/insomniawork/. thank you marty

LMAO! TOO FUNNY :0)

Thank you 3d:)

I got it, will try it later!

There are two things wrong with the beta that I have already cought. One is an eronious MAT zone in the outfit's top. I have already fixed this. The second is there are eronious lines in the shorts showing up in cartoon w/line mode in PPP. They should not be there and how they got there is beyond me. My methods usually prevents this but somehow has caused this. I have already fixed the problem with a weld. marty

I have re-uploaded a new beta with changes I previously mentioned and posted. I have informed all testers by IM. If you didn't recieve one, please let me know. marty

Ahh a new home. :D

Thank you for the feedback Grimjerk, and very nice toon render! I will check those lines in the back of the top and see if I can do anything with them. I knew they were there, but didn't think they were an outstanding problem. As for shorts pulling strangely on legs as you pointed out. Well, is sort of normal that they would do that. Even though its not exactly what you would want the shorts to do, the clothing is doing exactly what is supposed to do. This is one of the reasons that Poser is not a perfect technology. Also, I must add while I am on the subject, that the top pulls strangley on the back during chest bend poses for the exact reason as stated above. The top is doing exactly what it should do, but in this case it gives an unwanted effect. thank you marty

Nice to have Sixus1 on the team now. I've dabbled in anime-fying Behemoth, it's a bit of work. ^^ Don't forget the sharp clean lines on CWL and RENDERING when you make 'im. Grimjerk, what toon-rendering is that? Sketch Designer? Be interested in the settings for it. Nice to be on thread #5! LOL. I agree with that idea of Riddokun's, need a more... personal website for where we seem to be headed. ^^ BTW: Nice website there, insomnia. Nice zippers. Now if they work like real zippers, I see some very cool things happening in the future. ;)

Also, I have made an adjustment to the uvmap for the shorts. The back of the shorts backwards on the uvmap so that any texture put over them would be reversed. I have fixed this.

Oh darn! I still havn't tried it yet! I will DEFINATLY try it after school! I am sure i havn't got any homework to stop me! And it's my Birthday this Saturday! I'll be 14!

Oh,HAPPY BIRTHDAY SenshiTaurus! 14,MAN! You make me feel old,my son is 15!...lol The3dZone

Saturday... the 14... ...Happy (future) Birthday SenshiTaurus!

LOL, ok that was a funny movie, been years since I've seen it. Yggdrasil: as far as a sketch preset goes... it's not. I just started working with toon renders last night and have not figured out the sketch presets yet. thats the standard poser toon shading w/line mode, about an hour of going through all my light sets to get the highlights I wanted and the rest is all post work. Marty: I figured that would be the issue with the shorts, but it never hurts to ask, you never know if theres a solution or not. As far as the mesh/conforming goes summerwear seems to be working out great, no poke through that I could force and the only real problems I saw were in some fairly extreme sitting poses that the animedoll can't take anyways, and its hard to tell if its the doll or the cloth having problems so I think your good to go in that area. I had to pull out the magnets last night and conform it to the catsuit. I'll have to post the pic I did lastnight of the new cloths with my "white tiger" texture conversion on the catsuit. Grim

Happy 14th Senshi! Thank you for the testing Grimjerk! Testers: I will be submitting this tomorrow, so I would like to get some more feed back today from testers. As for all products, it is okay if you can't get around to testing a product. I send several testers the betas with hopes that I can get at least three evaluations. If you get a beta and don't have time to test it, don't stress! Consider the beta's a gift for testing other products. But keep in mind that I usually submit after two days of testing, so if you reply later than that, it might be too late. Also, I pointed this out before, but I will again...Caly pointed out that she is using a MAC. She said she was having trouble loading my textures because the library and file names I was using was too long while testing my last package. I am wondering now how long is too long for MAC users. If I could get some feedback on that I would appriciate it. As for Real Zippers opening and closing.....I don't know, hehehehe. I might not be that good yet, hehehe, and it would push up the price of the item. These items that I am making right now are economy packages - they are very inexpensive. marty

if I were you,I'd make a belt figure with the chains on it and save the headache to come later. the3dzone

Thats a good idea, but I will still have grouping in the belt to deal with. I like the idea of a seperate belt though.

Summer Time Girls with their Summer Wear Clothes
Your clothes are tested and magnet-approved by Sailor Mercury, herself.

Would you consider making the "Cc_map001" on the shoes a material pose for the rest of the suit as well? It's nice when the MAT poses work for the different suit pieces, no matter which one you click on. ^_^ That's a bonus to me.

Thank you Yggdrasil. ThreeDee already has an matching texture almost ready to go. It might not come with the package though. marty

Yes it will most likely be a freebie :0) I know how you guys like those freebies...lol TheThreeDeeZone(LOL insomnia)

Hi everyone, I'm back on line. I just got my machine back from the fixer : my Poser HD was locked up (Urgh...) but it's all back now and with no noticeable loss in data so far (yeepee !). I have a little tweaking to do on it for tonight, but I'll resume betatesting tomorrow. Boy, it's amazing how much you guys and gals can type in 36 hours ! Marty : very "nice" site !

welcome back compiler :0)

Hello! I'm just awake now......from a splitting headache......which resulted in me being sick in the bathroom......which resulted in me getting yet another headache.....and i felt like c**p, but now i'm awake I feel nice and pretty.....i think I might just test the product!

Congrads to me!!!! AnimeDoll Stringi Bikini is on the first page of "whats hot!

congrats! :0)

Also, here is a picture of Kylie Minogue from 'Spinning Around'! The hair is (beleive it or not) the Poser 4 conforming curls......i think they're cool on anime doll...

Special Effects done in PaintShop Pro 7.

P.S WOuldn't it be cool if supastars like Kylie actually searched for their names in google for fanart and stuff and actually gave out comments and ratings?

I think some of them do. You just don't know it. ^_^

hey our compiler is back.. ready to get tormented by my zillion questions ? glad your hd had no loss...

Like the piccie? I used my new anime face in it, like in my Beach Vollyball one......i have officially fell in love with the face.....should I put it as a free download?

Sure you can never have enough characters :) I released my Assassin face to the freebie zone the other day, I forgot to mention, glad Grimjerk found it and likes it :)

I love the silver sandal/boots!

I like the red shoes secoudn from right, if anyone's seen onepiece, nami wares thouse shoes!

ThreeDee, very good sugestion on the boots. I am considering them for V3.

We all understand Marty, and we know that if that is what you have to do, we are for it, right? I'm still in disbeleif that anime doll is losing intrest...to me, it's the only reason why I got Poser 4 in the first place, just so i could get that.... If only there was a way to save her.......

I understand how you feel Marty. As for me, I'll probably continue working with AnimeDoll as much as with the Mil figures. BTW : will you finally release the plane you were working on, or is it all right for me to resume work on my Kameri Fighter ?

Compiler: Please finish your plane and get it out, don't wait for me. My plane is less than half way built. I am in no hurry right now to finish it. Senshi: I think she will make a come back when anime boy comes out. I just can't wait until then.

Well, While I'm really sad that your possibly giving up on the anime doll,I understand that buisness is buisness,and you've gotta do what you've gotta do. I think it would also be in your best interest as a merchant to expand your creativity to more than one poser figure. I intend to keep working on things for her myself,I still have a few ideas for her that I can't let go of. But don't be surprised if you see a bunch of v2/v3 stuff come first for a while atleast. The3dZone

I am not sure what I am going to do yet. This slip today in my merchant status was unexpected expecially after releasing an item thats on the first page of "Whats Hot".

I mean it was just submitted.....not released.

well anyway aside from animedoll, there is maya dool who may need a better merchant support so far, she is free and still young character, and most things would be compatible but first try to aim directly at the "non anime" doll market just to have a try... what do you think about it ? besides that i saw strange things in Adoll marketplace, i mean things that i would rather have expected in freebies (not mentionning your work of course) and maybe that is this habit/behavior that turned down many potential customers... anyway it is sad; it may be temporary (i hope so for the character itself) but anyway if you LIVe from your poser work, as far as you cncerned, it is irrelevant that it is temporary or not, you have to earn a living meanwhile :)
