mathman...."yes" and "no". The HyperReal texturemaps are specific to V3/SP/A3. D3/M3 have some "extra" bits - so to a certain extent HyperReal V3 can be used for them - but it's not ideal. I saw somewhere someone had used the full HyperReal V3 textureset on Michael's face - and the result was...ummm...interesting - certainly works - but probably not the look you are after - since HyperReal V3 texturemaps are female. With the updated HyperReal script - you can use any V3 textureset (so in theory you could use an M3 textureset) - I guess the "realism" will depend on how well the M3 textureset matches the HyperReal specific additional texturemaps. I haven't tried it yet.... dlk....there will be an upgrade for HyperReal V3 owners to enable them to use any V3/SP/A3 texturemap set. I am also working on an upgrade to the RealSkinShader - to build in some of the HyperReal tricks. Owners of both products will be notified when the updates are ready for download. I'm guess that will be in about a week. Sorry for the confusion.
