Quote - Have you tried?

Not for years and years.  This is the extent of my sketching ability.

But I can certainly try. Worse that will happen is that you will look at it with googly eyes and think "WTF is that!"  LOL

You're sketch is great!

The morphs are loaded and the detailing is started.

That's all I'm going to do for now.  I'll post an update tomorrow on the detailing.

ooooooo wow you are fast!!
i still almost exclusivly use v3 with pretty3d babe morph.
but i can convert with ww2 ...
and that dress is also fantastic, always said we needed more ruffles.
netta

Yep!  You should see the smoke rolling out of my computer!

Do you have a link to the pretty 3d babe morph?

Attached Link: Pretty Base V3

Here's the link, Pat.

Thanks!  Bought it and downloading it.

Patorak---how long do you reckon a dress like the one Acadia posted would take to complete...textured and all?

Looks like Lightwave is much easier to use than 3DsMax.

*Looks like Lightwave is much easier to use than 3DsMax.

I tried Max once and didn't like it.  Too uptight,  man.  I suppose if I was an engineer it would have an appeal,  but I'm not.  I'm just a hippie artist so I'll stick with laid back Lightwave.

Quote - Pretty Base is loaded.  What about Blackhearted's girl next door?  Think we should add her?

If it's not too much trouble. She seems to be all the rage. I'm sure a nice freebie such as this would be appreciated by her fans.

Cool.  I'll pick up both the V3 and V4 versions.  I'll have to wait until tomorrow though and transfer the money from under my mattress to the bank. 

Wasn't able to get girl next door today.  I forgot I had to vote.  I'll pick her up tomorrow.

Please don't exhaust yourself. I'm sure clothing converters will make this available to all. :)

Inspirational. :)

Glad you liked it.  Toil I must, too.  Not for me, but my youngest son.  He has cerebral palsey.  Physical and speech therapy runs $500 to $600 a week.  You would not believe the cost of the braces,  too.

Awwww. I know all too well about "toling" myself. My oldest was born with a heart condition. Oh how we parents worry while trying to maintain. They're strong lil creatures. :)

How is your son doing?

Quote - How is your son doing?

He had one "incident" when he was first born. Went on medication for about a yr and never had another. Thanks to the most high :) He could've possibly grown out of his condition. It's called Wolfe Parkinson White syndrome. Makes your heart beat super fast.

His speech is also not up to par for him being a 3 yr old.

Did it affect his speech?

Can't say anything on the rest of the issues, but when I went and wandered around the "Write to us," "Write to Stacey," and "Write to Maveris" are all clickable email links. ;)

Quote - Did it affect his speech?

I haven't a clue. I don't think so. I have my "suspicions" about what did but its of no matter now. He was saying more at 9 months old then digressed. He's been getting vocational and speech services since he was 1. Currently in school. Great at doing physical things. Talking---not so much.

We have ours as well with Caleb.  We think it was the heparin that caused his brain anurisium.
Caleb started speech therapy 2 months ago.  He's now able to say 2 to 3 word sentences.  His sessions were sunday afternoon,  but got switched to monday evening.  Now,  monday is back to back physical therapy then speech therapy.

If you get the chance take your son to see the IronMan movie.  It has really motivated my son.

I'm sorry I didn't get the chance to work on your outfit yesterday.  I'll work twice as long tonight to make up for it.

I'm so happy for you. My son doesn't even speak in full sentences. All in due time. I will make sure to see the Ironman movie now.

No worries. Take your time. :)

Here's a Catwoman I did a while back just using morphs and second skins.

I think I'm going to give Lightwave a shot. I would love to be able to model like this, and 3dsMax seems too complex to learn during spare time. You make this look so easy, Pat 

Patorak---you're doing a great job. You really do make this look effortless.

Thanks,  but It's like everything else...practice.  I appreciate you letting me make these costumes for you.  It's given me a chance to work out a new topology for my plain folk figures.

Hi TOPcat831

Let me know if you join the 'wave.  I got some links you may be interested in.

Cheers

Pat

I hope you don't mind that I'm adding a high heel morph to the comicbook version 1 boots.

Looks sexy. Rock on!

Cool!  How about we use this shape as a base for the movie version boots?

Genius. :thumbupboth:

Wow, I mean all I can say is WOW!

It's my first to come to this thread and seeing this.   So informative and inspiring. 

Patorak, you're doing a real good job in making this outfit.  Is it really easy to do clothing in Lightwave, I'm learning in Hexagon, and from what I'm seeing from your side is great.  I can't wait to see the overall product when finished.

I'll be checking back here.

Thank you Patorak for taking the time to create something for us.

Hi Jartz

You're welcome!  I can only take half the credit,  though,  the other half belongs to SSAfam1.  Have you started any clothes models?

Quote - "Cool!  How about we use this shape as a base for the movie version boots?"

Genius.

Excellent!  BTW Have you gotten to see IronMan yet?

Here's my first WIP body shirt.  I'll post my second one since it won't allow two image post, I think.

Here's the second, a Halter Gown for V4, also from scratch.  I wish I can learn how to make the top conform and make the long draped skirt dynamic as I hate how P7's dynamic cloth simulates the whole thing leaving it drooping or dropping off the figure's chest -- ever since I learned to use Constrained method for it to work.  Here's the WIP in Hex2, and the simple render in Poser 7.

Let me try again...

We haven't seen it as of yet. One Friday night when we can stash the kids and have date night that'll definately be the movie of choice.

Hi Jartz

These are great!  Have you made the JCMs for your outfits,  yet?

Cool!  After you all see it I have a story for you.

Quote - Hi Jartz

If you mean full body morphs, no I haven't.  I would have to use magnets to make the morphs, of which I have no idea to do --  When I made a sci-fi suit for V3, I got NetherWorks V3 Morph Kit and I yet to get it for V4, I been thinking about trying Lyrra's Magnets for V4.  I' ve yet got a lot of work to do on those clothing items along with my job and other things in my plate.  Not enough hours in the day.

Not meaning to hijack the thread, I'm glad to come here and check out what others are doing.  Creating 3d models is fun indeed.
