I don't comment on figures I don't own or works by other brokers but.. Neftis. She is beautiful as usual. Apollo could pair with her anythime. :) And mostly gratz to those who worked on Renda. Many start figure and never finish them. I am glad people are loosing the fear to create figures from scratch. Anyone with the guts an patience to create gets kudos. --------------------------- OT:Regarding Poser and rigging: --------------------------- Your are never ever ever ever going to get true Skin. They are polygons and always will be. Even with weight mapping, polygon skin does not shift over the bone. Also Poser Twist rotation and the other 2 rotations that use handlebars have a native conflict. They don't play well together and it is what we have to work with. Those that rig understand this. As long as we are using polygons, skin will always bend like a wetsuit that has been crazy-glued to the body. Period. Until dymnamic skin exists in poser as a way to bend and not just a way to copy the topography of other figures, skin will always pose like rubber. -------------------------------------------------- OT: The current standard approack to Poser figures -------------------------------------------------- This has nothing to do with Renda at all but just a 7 year generalization: I think learning and experimentation is always a path to improvement and innovation. People have to stop copying and do new things. From software copying to content copying, everything is a copy of this or a copy of that or borrowed from this or done similar to that, skinned like this or from clothing of that. There are many ways to rig figures for Poser. If noone is able to figure out the same problems appearing in the smae current design I think it is safe to say maybe, if this makes any sense, the design probably needs to be retired. Arrggg Don't be afraid to try new things. ------------------------------- Regarding competetive software: ------------------------------- Poser is popular because it is fun. There is a very good reason this isn't a Lightwave/Maya Community. Complicated isn't fun. The more complicated Poser gets the smaller the user base will become so be careful what you wish for. Instant perfect figure button is like instant art button. It doesn't exist Anyway.. My gratz to those who worked hard on Renda. And no more caffine for me! lol hehe
