I want to make a translucent horror creature and I need internal guts for it... I am hoping to save myself work by finding off the rack guts but so far I have not found them by Google or Mystic Nights. Can you direct me please if you know of guts for a creature?Human guts would work I guess.

There was a big .3ds site with catagories like household, electrical, medical but I don't remember what it was called. It might have had organs.

I believe you're thinking of:

www.3dcafe.com

Alas, the free stuff section is currently undergoing restructuring.

Sincerely,

An easy cheat on this would be to load two copies of your creature, shrink one to 95% and hide all the limbs then conform him to the first one. Using textures and trans maps you could then 'paint' the organs on the inner version of the creature to show through the translucent skin. After shrinking the second version be sure to 'memorize' it in the edit memu option so it doesn't resize on you back to normal. 

Not nearly as elegant as having real guts, but can work in a pinch.

Hi. Thank you both. It was 3dcafe I was thinking of... I had not thought of the texturing idea! More work then I want but if I can't find what I am looking for it sounds like a very good idea... your idea also makes me think maybe I could play with a few EZpose tubes scaling, grouping and texturing different segments.

The image you see rendered here is nothing more than the Poser one-sided square. All the geometry and so on is a 100% procedural texture. If you wanted to just rough out some general gut shapes, and UV map them, then you could apply procedural textures like this to get the finishing touches.

If you're interested in seeing more like these, follow the link. To use my shaders you need to get my free Matmatic Python plugin for Poser and run the script in that thread. Then it produces all the shaders for you. The Matmatic tool and the scripts written with it let you get to control the parameters much more easily than if I posted some 50 node shaders and you try to navigate them in the mat room.

I'd be happy to design more - that was one of my more amusing projects.

For a full 3d approach: Get Knotplot at: http://knotplot.com/download/ Open almost any knot, Make sure you are using the 'smooth' setting, give it more segements (increase both the cyl-rad and nseg settings), jump over to the 'Surf' tab, move the 'vcn' slider to give yourself a variable radius on the model, then back to the "Main" tab, and hit the "B" dynamics button and the "Go" (at the bottom of the Control Panel). This will make it wriggle a lot. Hit "Stop" when you feel it looks right, and you will have a very good likeness of a intestinal tract. Export the model. Voila! For an example of what it looks, like see these (I used a simple knot for these): "Taproot" http://excalibur.renderosity.com/mod/gallery/index.php?image_id=618708 "Exposed By The Tide" http://excalibur.renderosity.com/mod/gallery/index.php?image_id=616433 Give it a good texture and there you have it.

At first I thought it was just an April Fool's joke! 
After I came to, I realized I should have waited until after breakfast....!
