Huh? Hi James Nice texture and renderer. I would like to see him in bright background if possible.

Very nice! Looks like a photo, even. But even the previews look great in DeepPaint. What does he look like in Poser?

Cath, he looks awesome!

That looks very nice indeed!

(/me stomps foot on floor and screems: "I want my P6 noooow!")
(/me sits down and wait....)

THAT is NOT James, right, you're playing with us of course. That is just a photo you have there...... :O All kidding aside, that looks awesome, can't wait to see more stuff from you, this is amazing!

In Poser? the same if you wish.. I learned to get the same setting of from DP3D into Poser too but I think in Poser6 he looks more great! that why I work on the bump and specular to get the right look and for use the new features of P6, I will try to use AO to see what we get and from what I saw this morning was really cool! give me little more time and when done everyone can play with :) sort of CHALLENGE

Hehe, go ahead Cath - you took a photo of your husband, right? LOL, j/k ;-) Looks really very good!

Ha ha I wish I have husband like him :) that why I made for me one virtual now while I am single so I can play more with him..from today he can talk only if I make him talking.. :) Girl Power!!!

"Oki Doki GWeb here you go! please think about that this are only test view and not final textures so it can looks little funny sometimes and in some areas" Yep bright background sometimes can make it look funny. Dark tends to hid some things. I do not recommend to practice with dark background for final render. I like lights because I can see it better ;)

LOL :) That's the power of poser, you can make your perfect mate and they can't talk back.

Awesome! Are the hair part of the texture or a stand alone prop?

Wow, this is a free, default Poser character? That looks like a photo.

Weezie, Cath has been around these parts for a very long time - one of the real "old timers" (but not real old! LOL). She will no doubt continue to impress you over and over again. 8-)

Catharina, Do you find it odd that neither figure has a "Lips" material zone? I don't think I like that too much. :)

Netherworks , you are right.. I can't find the all standard material zones and that is funny, I don't have personally problems with because most of my textured models of my customer don't have the material zones.. but ok I can make for me a copy, so if that is possible maybe I will make a new cr2 files with new material zones as well with the male character it get simple but with the girl not because we can't make a glossy lips or add bump maps too.. but I love the character and I love the model as well the rest we can create self in 10 min or? I love to create and play around with this stuff.. it make more interestig for me...

Really? That's a bit weird. shouldn't take long to fix in the grouper though.

Deecey, I know Cath years ago in D3P forum and in her personal forum. She might not remember me because I am not very known in the community.

Cath, looks really excellent. Can you tell me if the specularity on his skin (the forehead, nose, and under the eyes) is from material settings and scene lights, or if it's "baked" into the texture itself? In other words, would this texture work in animation, where the lighting situations in the scene vary? Often times I find that some of the best textures are virtually useless for animation, because they have specularity baked into the texture, which as you know, doesn't look right under different lighting situations. Either way, it's a great job on texturing James! I think James is one of the best male characters to hit Poser in a long time.

Yeah, I was playing around with the default Jessi texture and adding some noise and turbulance for mottling the skin and I was going the lips and said "um ok, where are the lips!". I wanted to add a little gloss there. It should be on a new zone to add lighting effects. :D Catharina, that texture looks awesome. My wife peeked over and said "man, that looks REAL!"

EXCELLENT work ! :-O stahlratte

maxxxmodelz I will include all maps separate so specular will be separate so you cna use for animation, I work in preview mode that why you see the all highlight, after this the color diffuse textures are reworked to matt and the specular do own job.. we don't want high lights reflections on our color textures that was good for poser4 tp play with ... and I go to set a little professional free package so a little bit trust please :)

"and I go to set a little professional free package so a little bit trust please :)" Of course I trust you. You do professional work. :-)

This is by far the best render/texture that I've seen on the Jamester...excellent work Catherine!

I'm telling you, the fun is just beginning. Why CL did not hire Cath to do the textures and promo images and some of the other folks here to do the rigging for Jessi is beyond me. Cath, your James texture and renders are lookin' MIGHTY fine. ::::: Uploading reality animator, male, to cath so she can have James whisper in her ear. ::::: ::::: Opera :::::

Most times, folks put more weight on the renders that actual USERS do, anyway. It's REALLY nice to see what the masters can do, but if "regular folk" can do good renders too that is a sure selling point. 8-)

Stunning texture!

" This is by far the best render/texture that I've seen on the Jamester..." As far as pure realism goes, it's probably the best render/texture I've seen done on any Poser character in a long time.

good gracious I can't wait to make him walk, talk and play the piano. ::::: Opera :::::

and where is the reality animator for me? or are you going to whisper in my ear to this time? lol

"Ok I did for you a preview with separate channels so you can see that the light works amazing..." Excellent.

"look on this one.. I made just test with the light to show the exact work of the specular with bump maps and it works very fine.. :) " Perfect, Cath. Looks great from all angles.

....DROOLFLOOD.... I want my Poser 6 now! I'm broke for the entire rest of the month because I preordered P6, and it hasn't even shipped yet. sigh I wants... My own... My prrrecioussss....

KEWL....

Dear Cath,

What did Rodolfo whisper in the ear
of Mimi when her eyes stole his heart in an instant?

ed i miei sogni usati
e i bei sogni miei,
tosto si dileguar!
Ma il furto non maccora,
poich vha preso stanza
la dolce speranza!

Now all past dreams have disappeared.
Beautiful dreams I'd cherished,
immediately vanished without a trace!
But the theft does not wound me deeply,
because, in their room they have
been replaced by sweet hope

La Boheme, by Giacomo Puccini, Act 1

Mimi's response and flirting, is in sample 9

Your "James" is beautifully masculine...this
sequence is probably the most intensely
masculine 'love moment' in Opera

Enjoy while texturing.

::::: Opera :::::

It's very impressive - sure beats the crap outta Mike anyway.

Thank you operaguy, very beautiful and I know La Boheme :) 8. La Boheme: Act One - Che gelida manina is very very beautiful!!! thanks for sharing the samples... I listen with pleasure again.. and the part you wrote in English I just request a record for mimic.. se we go to see if James can amaze us or not! :P

Salute, Cath. Go for it. ::: og :::

do you know maybe who created James figure for Poser6 ?

I'm looking at the light direction chart and I can't believe this is Poser. It really has grown up. Of course, this is Cath's texture and, my gosh, nobody does it better. Hon, your low resolutions are better than most people's super duper high res stuff. James is super hot though. Emily

Great work, But what up with the lazy eye? Is that a problem in the mesh?

no it is not the mesh problem.. that was just a quick 15 min test... the final work come without lazy eye :)

I love the facial hair, and especially the scar under the lips. The lighting is looking very good!

Good work Cath :) It is nice to know that P6 can offer most of the realism renderer. Also it is good to know that it has most of the lights for my cartoon projects to get most out of 3D environment. Thanks, GWeb

Cath, your work is amazing. Good stuff in Poser 6 to play with. Yay!!!!

I really liked that image, Cath. Especially the one in the middle :)
