Wow...I want this guy in my collection....Let us know when he is in Market...Thank you, Jan

I believe he's talking about James that comes bundled with P6.

I agree, im starting to look at these figures for hi end renders, Miki, V3, Jessy and James so far look like they have potential, By the way James was not morphed in the above image, All i did was add the texture to him and give him a slight smile. I like jessy and judy but i think they need some work around the nostrols other then that they are really cool for close up renders. Cool render, Very cute look:)

I think a good texture and hair goes a long way in whether a
character looks realistic or not. Oliveramberg's looks very good and the mole is a nice touch

By the way this figure im going to give him the name Sage.

Looking forward to it. It looks very promising!

Tucan-Tiki, are you going to release this James texture on the marketplace ? ..... and is it for hi-res James ?

This James is what I was searching for. What hair did you use?

Imo James is much better (and realistic) then M3 is. I do prefer him above M3 and dropped M3 & V3 from most of my projects, James & Jessi have surpassed them in usage. Whish there was more support for them though.....

I'll never understand why people "drop" characters. The reason I use them all is because they look different. That's why I'm glad so many are out now. I guess if you like all of your poser folks to look the same that would be a good reason to only use one. Just my opinion, Marque And great job on Sage.

I can not do anything with Jessie... even after face room she looks pretty much the same. Can some one show something good with that figure that is not immediate recognizable as that figure. The body I know I can never use nude. EVERY non=Poser person I have shown it to thinks it is some kind of human-insect science fiction character... a HUGE disappointment to me after I was taken in by the promo. I think James is handsome.

Ill make the texture for all figures, The hair I think I got from Daz. Can't give a release date yet im still very early in creating the textures, But I will postit in the market place later on when this project is finished. I have the texture converter ill see if i can convert the textures to mike 3 and david as well later on.

I think people drop characters like mike 2 for example because of problems with the neck and shoulders looking out of proportion this was always a mike 2 problem, Mike 3 on the other hand has traps that stick way up out of proportion making him look like a star trek cardasian. I can not say anything about David,V3 or Steph3 or james because i have never encountered any problems with these figures other then problems poseing them in extreme poses where the butt crawls up the figures back when you bend the legs too much. But I use Mike 2 from time to time, He really is low rez compared to james tho.

I use jessi heavily. Granted, my limitations for her are the lack of add ons and different textures for her available. However, i've now started painting my own "over" her after she's rendered. I think of the myriad of female characters, shes about the best. You really have to play with her body to take away the "fantasy boris volejo" look to her. I think her best asset is the realistic shoulders and correctly proportionate arms, that vic3 is sorely lacking

Now that's a james I can use. ;-)

Mmm indeed! Very nice James there! I like James a lot, but I think his eyebrows are hard to get rid of. He always look to have very inset eyes. Now of course some people LOOK like that, it's just his biggest "giveaway" when you want to un-Jamesify him :o) Jessi... I don't like her much, she's IMO a strange mix of toon and real. Better than Judy, but that doesn't say much either LOL

Wow he looks great in your textures.

I found .ppz of clothes in the "James Clothing" folder in the "Props" directory. They look like the clothes are dynamic though I've never used them. :)

I think his eyelids are very unique as well, and could present a problem if you wanted to de-James him.

Lots of clothes in the Props folder. Not all of it dynamic (it actually says so on the thumbnails) - like with Miki, Koji and Jessi, a lot of the clothes are in the props folder allthough it's technically cr2's (in this case it's of course PP2's to show up there. I've done it with some of my props as well, stuff that is technically a character because it's poseable, but.. well, things = Props and that's where you'd look for it. Who would look for a cd case in Characters? (actually I can't remember if I put exactely that cd case in props or characters but the point is, it doesn't matter. Just as you can put poses in camera- and hands, you can put conforming clothes in props :o) And that texture looks so GOOD! I've been trying to morph his eyes better, so far with little luck though :o( I haven't given up. I LIKE James. I like Don too, btw. Too bad he got so terribly overlooked just because Judy was a monster...

Most people don't even give the native poser figures a real chance at all, just because they're poser figures.

"Correctly proportioned arms"? You have got to be kidding. Jessi's arms are weirdly proportioned. Upper arms too short, forearms too long. It's so out of kilter it affects posing. She looks non-human.

Her shoulders are better than Vicky's, but only if you don't raise her arms.

" Most people don't even give the native poser figures a real chance at all, just because they're poser figures." correction to that : because they are Daz figures. no I'm not daz bashing. I'm pointing out that there is a cult that blindly disregards anything non daz as rubbish and ignores it. (to clarify I am not bashing daz. I am bashing the Cult of the Dazzies)

The thing is, if you want major support for any wcharacter, you're more or less bound to the Daz characters. Sure, there's Alexa clubs, Koshini Clubs, PosetteForever and so on, but the majority of support is for the Daz characters. And it's a circular argument, too. People make clothes for the Daz characters because those are the ones with most clothes, so people want them ... I'm not Daz defending or -bashing, simply stating a fact. I have loads of characters, both Daz and non-Daz, and I use them to various degrees. I ALSO use the native Poser characters and right now I'm making a pic with Miki. It sould have been any character, but I chose her because of her unmatched facial expressions (well perhaps short of Ezster and that other head from DigiCalimero)

correction to my correction lol (coffee I know I should drink it before posting) correction to that : because they are not Daz figures.

1. Re: Starting to think James may be as good as Miki..... by oliveramberg on 1/6/06 00:43 Very beautiful rendering....I had to comment. She is too lovely not to. Re: Starting to think James may be as good as Miki..... by Tucan-Tiki on 1/6/06 17:24 Sage looks like Ben Affleck here, IMO. Very handsome....well done.
