Impressing words that you found Joelgaine! I will keep them as well in my little collection of poems and wise sayings! I wish you all the best for moving to your new home - although moving is exhausting it can be fun as well. Dream something nice in your first night there, here we say that it can become true!

 I always try to be a wise guy. :laugh:  I mean wise man!  "wise guy" sounds none too good in certain sectors of the English speaking world. (ie:wisenhiemer, or criminal as in Mafioso) :lol:

You are a wise guy Joel...I mean MAN! ;oP

Laurie

Ahhh... Wisenheimer... That's a pretty nice term regarding what is said here (what comes close to the term wise ass).

By the way... as the Poser Forum and Gallery seems to be in need of some new banners and I am in the mood to create some I thought that we should have some with Antonia as well.
So I made these:

I am not sure if the second one will be accepted - but unfortunatly we do not have a bra or bikini yet... but I swear that if I would have used a different camera there would have been a bath towel, really.

And: That ruffle dress for Antonia is VERY nice, I like all those material zones that gave me the option to turn it into a 60s cocktail dress!

WOW!! She looks gorgeous!! :o)

I hope they accept them. They're a lot nicer than some of the other one's that cycle across the top.

Laurie

Great banners, SaintFox! I particularly like the first one. It would be very flattering if Antonia was accepted as a banner girl.

She's one of the prettier banner girls ;o)

Laurie

Two of mine were accepted last time but I didn't enter this one.

I'm so pressed for time lately and hardly get a minute to rest...sigh.

I stumble across the contest yesterday and thought: Why not?! It's very much a question of the right mood. Sometimes I hate to render these crazy formats, sometimes I sit here for hours and can't get the right idea ;o)

Okay - submitted. Now we'll have to wait a bit if the banners are accepted.

I like the second one fine.  It doesn't show any naughty bits.  She might be wearing a low cut dress. I forgot all about the banner contest.. Oh well.

Ta-da!

yours are the bst so far.. imnsho..

I have to agree. You have the most distinctive so far submitted.

That can be done.  How "complete" is the rig?  :)

For the bits relevant to a bikini, the rig is final. The JCMs will change though, and I don't think the latest version I uploaded has the final foot rig.

If you don't mind the JCMs, I can upload a snapshot of the current version sometime this weekend, and you can work from that.

No real need to rush and don't worry about hands/feet, just when you have the core rig pretty nailed down. 

A bikini would be cool - the most important piece of clothing if you want to showcase your work in a "family-friendly" way.
Thanks for the nice words about the banners. I am glad that the portrait was accepted as well - but would have made a different version if not.

Quote - Saintfox Wrote:

I'm in LOVE! :woot:

Or maybe in lust-it can be hard to tell sometimes... 

That's what I hoped for - this kind of "I want this character"-effect. I think I should post something likewise to the galleries as soon as I am finished with my recent series...

SaintFox:  Love the reclining image. Do you have a bigger sized render of it? It is so nice I would love to see it larger even if not in the banner format. What dress is that she is wearing?

I would like a bigger version too...  =)

Not yet - but give me up to two days and I'll render one. I will have to set up a different camera (this was rendered in the required ratio instead of cutting it out of a bigger render). I will post it here and later (and larger) to my gallery as well.

my clothing modeling skills are pretty gimpy and it has been awhile since I've dusted off hexagon but I have still kept following this thread and  decided to try to make a top for antonia. I don't think I plan on taking this any further if anyone wants the .objs just say so and i can send it to you. But I just have a couple of poke through issues in the non corset part of the top i just can't fix. Also I still have the priestes outfit which I did awhile back  and don't plan taking any further.

Aella if you decide to go on with clothing modeling, and you want to know some fairly easy ways to add details like trims at the hem:

Looks good!  Our first (of many to come) CONFORMING clothes! YAY!  Happy dance time!

Have you a download linkage, oh Starkly one?

Me wantz! Gimme, gimme! :laugh: There goes me classiness for the night.

beautiful!  =D

More clothes to come!! I like this skirt you, aella, made - may look pretty neat as a dynamic item (with a windforce or two?!). And more undies/bikini!! Yes, me want too!!

Quote -  Now that my classes are over for the quarter, I made a conforming bikini bottom for Antonia.  I still need to add a few morphs to accomodate leg bends, twists, etc.  But for most poses, it looks great.  I'll try to make some other slinkier stuff too, just to tick off V4! -Dave

Those look great.

Just keep in mind that I'm working on brand-new JCMs for the leg bends, which will be quite different from the current ones. I've also changed the default shape of the crotch area, but there's a morph for that, which hopefully you can easily transfer to your figure. I'll post the new version as soon as it's ready, but Winter seems to make me tired, so I'm not getting much done after work these days.

I have been working again. :)
Just uploaded to the developer's site the promised edited texture set for Antonia.
odf found a few errors on path calls and I fixed those, added the missing fingernail and nail bump maps.

I got to hold my little grand daughter tonight for a spell.
Poor little one has some difficulty due to having amniotic fluid in her tummy.
So she has to be burped often and she hurts.

Now for a bit of rest, had a bad night with almost no sleep.

Very cool, Starkdog!

Thanks for the uploads!

All the best to the little one!

Don't show these to Mr. Permaneder. Maybe we can find her a better husband this time. :lol:

odf I've just about finished the project I was working on (a skirt) and I'm ready to see about doing some more clothing models for Antonia to add to these already going, where do I get a copy of the figure?

You can get it from my file locker here on 'rosity. Click on my icon, then on "Artist Input", then find the bit that says "File Locker" and click on the entry that says "Antonia full preview" something or other.

This is just a quick test render with SaintFox's texture and lights. Some artifacts due to low-poly and low-quality render. When the leg bends are finalized, we should have a look at the slight problems with the texture seams in the crotch area. I think it should be possible to export a posed figure from Poser of D|S as an obj file and use that to fix the texture in a 3d painting program.

Actually Cinema/interPoser can take that right in, it's a very good combo for texturing Poser stuff.

Oooh, that's a very nice bikini!
I can hardly wait.

Then I can keep her dressed while working on her while the grand kids are here. :)

Okay, the Black Widow outfit is thoroughly put to bed - and now the same goes for me.  Sleep -> some sort of swimwear for Antonia (probably a one-piece).

I'm getting started with this just now, and I wanted to say your topology is really great.  I think I'd do things slightly differently at the thigh and the abdomen to follow the major muscles there but everywhere else is truly excellent, particularly the deltoid-to-pectoral polys.  Shape-wise this is very refreshing and normal.

I have one other very specific bit of feedback that I'll mail you as it's rather indelicate ;)

Thanks! I'm glad you liked the topology. I might do the abdomen and thighs differently next time. You live and learn.

There's nothing wrong with how you did it at all, there's lots of human figure models that have things in common (not just among Poser figures).  If you'd modeled in those muscle lines it would have raised poly count significantly anyway, and not every purpose needs that kind of definition.  She's great modeling work, you should be proud.
