I would if I could. This looks like an interesting character.

Making joints and stuff. That's quite a bit of work.

I know, and I'm not advanced enough to do it myself...

Hey, Chicken Soup, I just "retired" from my job, so I have time. I know that I could cut the OBJ into the right parts, and I'll have time to learn how to do the rest. ClintH has his ongoing tutorial, and there are plenty of other resources available, as well. If you want me to give it a go, send me the OBJ at poserwulf@hotmail.com I will do what I can, and let you know if and when I get it done.

Got your private message CS. If you and wyrwulf get stuck. Let me know. ScottA

ChickenSoup and ScottA, I think there is a problem with the original OBJ. It is WAY too big. Almost 10 MEG. That is probably too big to be feasible with Poser. Is there any way to properly reduce the file size? I have Carrara, RDS 5.5, and Rhino.

I managed to open it in Carrara with no prob...

10 meg!!! Yikkes! My poor old PII266 will not handle that at all. I have a special piece of software that reduces file sizes. But you can't reduce things much without losing some quality. I could probably only chop it down to 7 meg before it starts to show signs of bad edges. We were just discussing this On the PoserTECH list. Folks need to be aware of the filesize as they make the models. 4-5meg. is the absolute tops for any Poser figure. Anything bigger than that. And you'll need a bank of SGI's to use it. ScottA

Yeah, I can get it into Carrara and work with it, but I loaded it into UVMapper, and it ran super slow. The mesh is way more complex than it needs to be for Poser. I will play with it, but I don't think I'm going to be able to do much. I am still learning modeling, and am not very advanced.

Well it's ok, I have someone that's already finishing it up... you can still take the obj. to fool around with... thanx anyways, -Chicken_Soup

I'm glad you found some other help. Sorry that I couldn't. Thanks for letting me keep the OBJ to play with. It's a cool looking model, and I can imagine it animated.

When It's finished, I'll make it available for download... But first I'll make a pic. with it to try it out... I'll let you know when it's done... -Chicken Soup

has anyone been able to download it? I alwasy get "exceeded daily download limits"

I-Drive is a real pain in the a**. There is a 150 meg. limit per day restriction. So right now. The best way to download a popular file is to: 1.)sign up for an account (very painless) 2.)click the link to a file like Chicken soup posted 3.)check the box next to the file and choose send 4.)type in your account and send it to your I-Drive account Then you can log in and download it from your own account. It's really slow. And a pain in the a**. But that's why it's free ;-) ScottA

I've changed the download link, it's now to homestead and should probably work better...
