Transform any Apollo character into a lord of bone and magic!"

Using Hollywood FX techniques, Damonicis01 is a conforming/morph/scaling face mask appliance that seamlessly fits over Apollo's face. Your characters become daemonic or sinister and supernatural with this high quality but easy-to-use set of conforming FX appliances.

As with all Anton Kisiel designs, this product features exquisite modeling, mapping, and morphs. Apollo's FX Appliances accept any Apollo face pose, texture, or MAT. Just apply to mask. See additional images below."

Remember you can copy Apollo's head and paste the settings to the masks too! 

Clicking on the head of the Daemonicus mask has all the special hirn morphs and such right at the top for ease of use.

Enjoy!! Back to work I go. :)

Anton, you are just so generous!  Thanks so much for these since I'm already starting to work on some Halloween stuff and I've got a texture in the works that I'll be offering for free, as well.

Awesome thanks!!!!!!!

I made a minor typo in the cr2 names of each mask that does not match the .png thumbnail name. Must have been lack of sleep. :) This only result is not seeing a picture thumbnail in Poser/Studio.

I have uploaded a corrected zip. If you haven't downloaded yet, ignore this post since the zip has been replaced. If you already download or installed and do not get a picture thumbnail for each mask, you can either re-download if you prefer, or manually correct my typo.

To easily correct the typo yourself, so that the thumbnails appear, go to:

Runtime/libraries/Character/ApolloMaximus

In this folder you will see:

FX_Bonelord01.cr2

FX_Daemonicus01.cr2

Simply add the exclamation point changing the cr2 names to:

!FX_Bonelord01.cr2

!FX_Daemonicus01.cr2

This will match the cr2 names to the png thumbnail names making the thumbnails visible in Poser. I am so sorry for the inconvenience. Not a big deal really, but I wanted to be sure there was no confusion.

Regards and enjoy!

Thank you this is sooooo great!

no problemo. Enjoy. :)

Thank you, Anton, this is amazing!!! I'm so glad I stopped in the forum tonight. :o)

Cool. Thanks. Happy to do it.

Don't forget ZeusFX's great iris maps freebie underneath Apollo's downloads. They are also great for creatures and characters as well. On Apollo's download page.

V3 - V4 also work if you rework them slightly in PS and apply in the materials room (eyes)

Cool. I actually have made a convertor for those already. Still testing. Eyes are usually somewhat similiar enough in the way they are mapped, it makes it easier.

Not to look a gift horse in the mouth or anything but I was wondering, is there some way to either convert these mc6 files for use in earlier versions of poser, or will there be a release that has files in them that are compatible with earlier versions of poser?

Thanks again Anton.

I use Illusions-designs.net eyes. You must copy one in photoshop and then put it on 1, 500 by 500 white background. Save as brown eye, etc. They look really good on Apollo. Apollo only needs one eye for everything where as the girls need left and right.

this just gets better and better..;)

Quote - Apollo only needs one eye for everything where as the girls need left and right.

aye. I mapped his eyes specially so that they auto mirrored, but realistically. Yet the cornea isn't flipped, so you do get proper reflections oppose to false mirror reflection maps on the corneas of other figures. Took a lot of thought on that one. :)

I'm big into resource management and storage/memory conservation.

@darth_poserus: converting mc6 files is fairly easy. Open it up in a text editor, change the keyword "mtlcollection" to "figure", and save as a .pz2 file. Now you have a MAT pose file.

Caveat: since these are P6 materials, it's very likely that they're more than just a texture map, bump map and trans map. The MAT pose file will work in Poser 5 though.

Caveat #2: not all material nodes in P6 and P7 exist in Poser 5, and some have a different implementation. That's why I made separate MAT poses (with P5 shaders) and material collections (with P6/P7 shaders) for my latest freebie.

The ghoul materials all use default Apollo's textures. All the bloody teeth and various effects are all created with nodes.

Poser 6 really is an older version of Poser now that we are on 7.  Older Poser4 mats I included with APollo are confusing newer Poser users who look at then as an oddity. I have recided to stick with Poser6 materials from now on to avoid confusion.

I had always decided to retire P4 formats when Poser7 came out. But if anyone wants to convert them and such, that would be awesome.

Wooooooooooooooooooooooow!!!! 

Thanks again!

Also, M3's clothes fit Apollo if you hide body parts and do not inject body moprhs. I used Arudino's Good Cowboy outfit on Apollo with limited tweaking and very good results, IMHO. Thanks so much Anton! I just love him!
