Introducing Tyr Anasazi from the new Andromeda series. I still have quite a long way to go with this but just wanted to show off my dreds. Still having probs with the trans map though; can't seem to get it the way I want. Some nice soul just gave me a morph I needed to fix the ears; haven't loaded that yet. It seems there's a problem with Mike's dress shirt template. The collar mesh is folder over and I have no control with the texture - don't know how to fix that. I wish someone would make a t-shirt conforming figure because the closure down the front is very hard to control. I've tried buttoned, unbuttoned and removing textures from the overlap but I still get artifacts, damn it. Also the back stretches at the shoulders and makes the chainmail texture holes elongate. I need a better chainmail texture. Mike has no boots either. I used the soft boots with cuffs from Zygotes Costume CD but can't conform them obviously; boy that was a lot of work. Anyway, hope you like the dreds and if someone with Anton's hair could make a better one, I'm all for it. Comments welcome also. Aeriol

Thought that was who it was when I saw the back of the figure in the earlier Dred picture. Looks pretty good so far. Not sure what to say about the t-shirt or the boots. I didn't have much trouble scaling the p4 stuff to fit on Victoria with some work .. will check into the boots

Hi Ghost: Thanks for the reply. You know of course he wears laced-up military boots. ;-) I do have some but I'm so tired of refitting them every time I change a pose! I parented them but they keep moving. So I'm resigned to using the same pose - very boring. Sort of defeats the purpose of 'POSER' don't you think. I'm really getting depressed here; can't seem to get any further with what I have in conforming clothes for Mike. I've been working on this every day for weeks and I'm getting burned out I guess. And being a newbie doesn't help. I guess I bit off more than I can chew. I thought about using the Mike/P4 hybrid but it's too late now. I've done all the textures and trans maps and don't want to start over. Maybe I'll wait until Zygote puts out some more clothes for Mike. In the meantime I might just give away the dreds textures and trans maps, but I don't have a website and I'm on a Mac so maybe I could just put them in a post here. What do you think? Aeriol

I am on a Mac too ...That shouldn't be too much of a problem. And I haven't seen any laced up military style boots except those old ones from the Lara Croft figure but the they are props and don't bend. As far as the shirt .. Not sure what to tell you. I still have to do some work on it but the one time I trid to fake it it was a little more awkward than the Victoria exchange. It seems to me that you could do a fairly easy parenting of the figure to another figure scaled at about 102 ... and then hide most of the parts. The only thing with doing that is the file would be huge. You could also edit the figure with cr2 thingies and make just the shirt based off of Michael but I don't know how to do that. Good luck and don't give up .. The figure is looking good so far :)
