It said "Available Tomorrow", yesterday, in line with the release date of 8/12 that was stated here. It still says "Available Tomorrow", which is today, which (btw) was yesterday in Japan. So, if 'today' is 'tomorrow' and 'yesterday', has it not already not been unreleased not yet. ;0)

If it's tomorrow in Japan then people over there think we're doing what we're doing today yesterday... (I swiped that from a 1963 issue of Mad)

no no in japan yesterday is today, which the page said today which ment tomorrow which is today, but tomorrow for us and yesterday for Japan. A freind once called me from the future when he was in China on a business trip. That was weird. Soon, maybe a bit late, but better late than never. shrug I have no clue when this is coming out, I'm still waiting on Shade 8 US announcements and details.

We have more details up on Shade 8 on Shader's Cafe. A new press release was put out yesterday :) - Noel

Is that yesterday yesterday, today yesterday, or tomorrow yesterday? I guess were speaking in future imperfect past tense...

Eh!

She is available now!! that's yesterday in Japan and today in the u.s

now in Japan, or tomorrow here? or are all our tomorrows yesterdays?..;)
I hate Temporal Physics
-Janeway..;)

WOW...! She makes the BEST invisible woman I have EVER seen..! Just had 2 x e-mails from CP announcing her arrival and... they are both completely blank. I don't know who does CP's weekly e-mails to subscribers, but... they need sacking! Hardly a week goes by without getting either countless e-mails (all the same) from them, or... totally screwed up e-mails.

Shes there I just bought her ;o)

I don't know what's up, ziggie, but my CP email was just fine. If you are already certain that your email app is allowing HTML content, then there must be some sort of flub in their subscription emailer. There may also be subscription settings, but unsure. Check those too, if there are any! :)

I'm about to buy, noticed a code for 5% off entire cart purchase, in News letter. So, pokeydots, going to share an image and a thought about her or what.

Just un zipped her going to have a look right now ;o)

Furgot to add: thefixer and pakled - ;0) Have a great weekend, um, if you haven't already (?).

efrontier newletter sent today has a discount code to get 5% off total order if you order before monday. Thought I would pass that on. That is today today right now, not future or past, okay maybe future applies, but damn this is getting complicated to keep track of so I'm going to live in the present, but now it could be a presant cause ya get a gift. bangs head against wall (runs off to look at product page at CP)

kuroyume0161: everything ok my end settings wise... just got e-mail flyer from DAZ3D no prob. Usually get e-mails from CP okay... just multiple... multiple copies... like 6-7 at a time. Not to worry... at least I know Terai Yuki is there now :-)

That shows why an upgrade to P6 is worth it. I don't think the P4 render uses the smothing or many of the extra options the Firefly uses. Side note, discount code doesn't work. Said there is one but it's not available for that product or has been disabled. You would think that a code given for a new product would work for that product. I thought wrong.

she's very low poly. should be a boon for animators :) At the current resolution it will be difficult to create the quality and range of morphs that are available for other figures, such as the DAZ ones. If they did a higher res version with a few more thousand in the body and double the head - I'd be more interested. :) I'd drop a suggestion but frankly, I'm an annoyance lately.

Gotta agree with ya Joe. Maybe I should bother them instead ;)

Sure go right ahead - they haven't replied to may last email yet :D Now, I did a head pack for Jessi, but this figure is way smaller in polycount. Maybe less than Victoria (1) Low Res?

Does she bend well? She looks cute :)

Netherworks wrote she's very low poly. should be a boon for animators :) Sounds good for me. But in what sense are low poly better for animation? I have made a charter for my movie from Aiko3 but maybe this charter is better?

"Low-poly" is better for game designers, if not animators. But this figure is probably too "high-poly" for game designers.

Well, multiple figure scenes for one and generally if you are rendering multiple frames, the less polygons the better. Wouldn't ya think? I'm not an animator, per se, but I've done illustrative movies for product movement "peeks" and I've had a 40 frame light animation take 25 minutes to render. One figure head, just hair. With DIVX encoding, mind you. So, you just let me know if I'm off the mark here ;)

I don't feel this figure, as is, in a low poly state will be a good pick for stills renders - especially close-up. With Sub-Division type smoothing or not. From pokeydot's head renders but also evident in the product images as Content Paradise, the upper eyelids look chiseled from the low amount of polygons and some of the dark areas on the ears are very dark from the way light bounces off of a low-polygon .obj. With the smoothing and the low poly any detailed, small morph adjustments are going to be smoothed out and barely noticable - if noticable at all. Sure, things like Fat Cheeks or Big Skull will be noticable. :)

Low poly?! gewd damn I think the SIMS models have more geometry. default she's nice, but I doubt anybody could morph this babe. big pass. thanks for the heads up now I can move on.

Before I buy any figures from the eF/CL side of things, I need to know if she's got millenium-style rigging or not.

How Cool!! And how generous!

Think I'll pass too. Marque

"But in what sense are low poly better for animation? I have made a charter for my movie from Aiko3 but maybe this charter is better?" Lower poly figures can be beneficial to animators, because they're usually easier to manipulate in the viewport when you have lots of objects in a scene (minor issue), and they tend to render faster (more serious issue). If a lower poly figure can even save you 2 seconds per frame, and you're rendering 10,000+ frames, then you have saved yourself some real overhead. This can be extremely important if you're on a deadline. In an application like Poser, where there is no network rendering option, I'd always look to cut down on geometry any way possible to get optimum performance.

What an adorable figure. Very cute. The expression is so charming. Very nice mesh and polygon flow. Smart layout. Kudos!

What is "millenium-style rigging" ?? --Rebekah--

Thanks no. It seems cute at first, but so much limited that she doesn't have 1/100th versatility than Aiko3... I'll pass.

I could not resist ;) She`s so cute... Just bought her and used the discount code without problems :)

When I have a bit free time, Ill make some free textures for her clothes and will post them in my freestuff :)

" What is "millenium-style rigging" ??" Is the mesh divided like the millenium figures?

Mesh is cut like Possette. So all your old Possette poses work quite well.

That's what she looks like to me, a dolled-up posette. Marque

Thanks beryld. Looks like I'll have to pass on this one. Who wants to place bets on whether Miki and Koji are going to be the same way?

France, she's cute! After Phil's announcement that he is going to include her in Wardrobe Wizard, I'm going to get her...just hopped over here to look at renders of her :) Thanks! Kathy

I think she's cute. I may end up using her mainly for animations or as a background figure, but I think I'll get her. Especially since PhilC has bought her!

I'm so happy that Phil will add Yuki to the list of supported models in Wardrobe Wizard! Now I'll be able to dress her the way I like without problems. ;o) I think it was very thoughtful of him to tell us now that she's going to be supported real soon. This way, people can buy her while she's on sale (till Monday). France

Regarding "millenium-style rigging" So what is the difference ? A buttock group ? What else ? I am curious. --Rebekah--

A similar polygon count to the P3 female, which has an identical head to Posette. This could be a good figure to hang clothes on, but unless somebody has been quite careful about polygon allocation the face could be very limited.

The other difference is that "millenium-style rigging" has an "inverted T" shaped chest and the collars include the breasts, whereas in figures rigged like Posette the collars are much smaller and the chest part includes the breasts.

Is this a Poser 6 figure, or can she be worked with in Poser 5?
