You are most welcome :-)

Hmm, all I get when I click that link is a text file with a long list of numbers.

CHEERS!

yes me too :S

Mmm just thinking, a character like Druscilla but for Antonia would be really nice.

CHEERS!

to dream is always good :) could make a try one of these days :):):)
do you want a necklace too????

if you copy & save it then change the extension to .obj it'll work.

Sure, anything you can do with her would be welcome. If we get as many big names behind her as we can then Daz really will sit up and take notice.

CHEERS!

I just saved the page and it seems to be an .obj now. Interesting!

CHEERS!

Hmmm that's odd as the upload is an obj file  
Glad you find out :-)

So long as it works...

CHEERS!

CHEERS!

In windows - Right click and choose 'save target as'. It then downloads the obj.

I've got it now, thanks though!

CHEERS!

Thanks for the morphs fabiana and lkiilerich.

Thanks for clearing that up Les.

CHEERS!

I copied and pasted all the code into a text editor and saved it with .obj extension and it works.

The Antonia Wiki is definitly a good idea - and why not use Renderosity's Wiki for that purpose as she is a "child" of this site:
http://www.renderosity.com/mod/rrwiki/index.php/Main_Page

...and again, after some days where I had to do some commercial work you all gave me this "collect them all" feeling ;o)

About DS settings for Antonia: I will try them out and see what I can do.

I think that's a fantastic idea. I've seen the Renderosity Wiki mentioned before, but keep forgetting that it exists.

I am not sure if we are allowed to add an Antonia category on our own or if we have to ask an administrator but even if there should be interest in an Antonia page. The open question is who is willing and able to do the work...

Thank you. :)

Oh they are nice ! ...

Yeah they do look good. I'll wait till they're tested in Poser before I go for them.

Wiki always makes me think of Twiki from the 80's Buck Rogers.

CHEERS!

Forgive me for being dense, but where do I find Renderosity's Wiki? 

It looks great sazzyazzca thank you :-)

I have done a cr2 file with all the available (I think) morph  grouped I also have made an eyefix INJ/REM for one of my head morphs you can download here if you wish:

Under features in the top panel :-)

Thanks for those, don't you have anywhere to host zips?

CHEERS!

*"Thanks for those, don't you have anywhere to host zips?"

*You are welcome :-) No I always use my "space" to my upload - why? Do you have any problem to download from there?

HUGS
Lene

No, I don't have any problems, I guess I'm too used to working with zips.

CHEERS!

Now Antonia has the first clothes and make-ups but no own hair. To overcome this I created a small tool to convert conforming V3-hair (.cr2) to Antonia Polygon.

It is the first version so feel free to test it and find weaknesses. This version is only for the conversion from V3 conforming hair to Antonia. The update for V4 hair will follow soon.

You can download it from this link:

antonia.ulliswelt.eu/Dateien/Downloads/HairCon-System_V3-cr2.zip

A detailed PDF-File with instructions is included.

Have fun

Sazzyazzca - Those eyeliners look great! Will they be in a pdf?

Lkiilerich - Thanks for the head morph! Looks good!

Jules - Thanks a million for this!! Gonna go try it now!

Hmm, I did post earlier this evening but it;s gone...uh oh, a black hole?

Thanks for the hair fits set, I  will put that to use soon. :)

lkiilerich, the eyeliners look fantastic!

Wow, things are really moving forward. I'm impressed.

I've had a look at the Renderosity Wiki, and apparently any member is free to create new pages. So if anyone feels like making the first step and create a page for Antonia, please do so and don't wait for me to get my big arse up. It would be great if we could collect the information we have right here on this site, and I guess that's exactly what the wiki is supposed to be for. I'll definitely do my part and try to provide and maintain technical info, release plans, etc.

Thanks for the hair converter, these have been hit and miss in the past. I have some 'hair fits' for V4 that always left the hair hovering above her head!

Still, I'm sure things have moved on since then

CHEERS!

Thanks everyone for the new goodies and for the kind words :)

First eyeliners are done.
Intentionally kept simple to allow you to create as you see fit.
Play and have fun!

Can I just say congrats? Making a lady is way more difficult than making a guy or a monster. Think I'll be sticking with those from now on, lol. Keep up the great modeling and it's nice to see the community get behind a project in such a big way.

Thanks, Teyon! That means a lot coming from you.

I'm not so sure if making ladies is really harder. I've got years of life drawing under my belt, and most of the models were ladies. So one could say I'm well-trained. Not to mention, the female form is 'relevant to my interests'. :laugh:

That sounded like a good idea, so I thought I would jump right in, and start an Antonia thread in the wiki. OK, but how? The instructions on the main page of the wiki say, quote:

"Creating & Editing a Page. Adding an entry to a new or existing Wiki page is as simple as typing the text into the area you want to edit."

But you can't type text into a page that does not exist. The instructions for "Creating" a page, say nothing about how to actually create a new page (start a new thread). I can't see any button to add a new page, and the "Upload File" link seems aimed at adding an image to an existing age, not uploading a html document. I must be missing something desperately obvious here. Can anyone explain?

lesbentley: When you search for a term and the wiki contains no page for it, it gives you a link that says "create this page", which you then click.  I just did that and created a fairly empty Antonia page.

The URL is http://www.renderosity.com/mod/rrwiki/index.php/Antonia. And it doesn't work like a forum thread. It's just a simple web page that any member can edit. It is possible to have a discussion about the page content, but that's all terribly meta. The important stuff goes on the page.

Thanks odf.

A bit of additional info. Actually the  "Search" button does not give the "create this page" link, I had already tried that. After a bit of experimenting I found that only the "Go" button provides the "create this page" link.

 OKI, i will build at the wiki site too !!

Well, after five seconds of investigation I found that the search button gives you a link to create the new page as well. It just has a different text.

Ok, I added a place for people to add links to their freebies, as well as a section to list commercial products that support her. i didn't add links to anyone's items but my own and fabi's hair because some people may not want their items listed if they are only available through links in this thread and I don't have time right now to scour the thread for items linked outside the thread (work starts in 20 minutes). I'll do that when I come home if no one else has done it already.

I'm going to change those freebie sections to real Wiki sections. This allows them to be edited separately. I'm a noob to Wiki, but it seems it is hard to avoid two people simultaneously editing the document. If it is broken up into sections it is easier to deal with.

 Please, can everybody upload a thumb (so as in Rendo-MP) for the products.
I have made an example with Fabis Hair !

Those are both good ideas! :)

Perhaps a section with links to posts of particular interest in this thread might also be an idea. For example, the one that explains why the old morphs don't look the same  on the current version of Antonia, and how to work around it might be helpful to some people.

I see somebody added a section for links to Antonia pictures. That's a bad idea, IMO. As time progresses, there will be hundreds of those, and I don't want to deal with scrolling through all that just to see stuff I want to get. If you want to make an Antonia Image page, that makes sense to me. Sort of like a facebook wall for Antonia.

I see someone deleted the "Hair Fits" section I added.

Perhaps things will not go the way I fear, but when I search Rendo freestuff for hair, I get hundreds of hair fits for products I don't have or even want. When I'm looking for hair, I want hair - an actual hair object. Now it may be that we'll never see hair fits, or maybe Jules' utility to automatically fit any hair will be all that is needed.

But if, instead, we end up with 5 hairs and 500 hair fits, I really want those 500 separated from the 5. I couldn't care less about free hair fits for hair I must purchase.

Sombody also deleted the "Poses" section I added.

Hmmm - this can get out of hand pretty quick.

It was LesBentley.

Guys - when you edit something and save it, if it shows a conflict, it means two people edited at the same time. If you save yours at that point, you are DELETING the work of the other person.

We need to be aware of this. It is very likely that multiple people will be grabbing a section at the same time. It's not a good idea to just trash somebody else's changes. If you see a conflict, don't just save.

I don't know Wiki well enough to understand how you deal with this. Is there a way to merge changes, like source control systems for software development do?

From a wiki on wiki:

Avoid edit conflicts

Wikis often involve simultaneous editing by many people, and the MediaWiki software used by Grokdoc has only limited capabilities for merging simultaneous changes. If you aren't careful, you can accidentally revert other people's hard work by committing changes to an obsolete version of the document. To minimize these edit conflicts, obey the following guidelines whenever possible:

• Use many small edits, rather than a few major edits. The longer you spend editing the document without saving your changes, the greater the chance of an edit conflict.
• Edit individual sections or subsections whenever possible, as opposed to editing the whole document or a large section at once. There is no conflict if two editors work on disjoint sections simultaneously. If you need to edit several sections, consider breaking your edit up into several smaller edits.
• Make multi-section edits quickly: if you do have to edit multiple sections at once, for example to move a section from one place to another or to do a global search-and-replace, do it quickly and don't mix it with other edits. This will minimize the probability of a conflict. - For example, if you want to move a section from one place to another, it should take only a few seconds.
• To do a global search-and-replace should also take only a few seconds: open the page for editing, copy to another editor that supports search-and-replace, do the replace, then paste back (to the same window not a new edit session) and save.
• Don't ignore edit conflict warnings. If you do have an edit conflict, the MediaWiki software should warn you. Don't ignore this and paste over your changes; use the history to see what has changed and merge it in, or make your changes again to the latest version if they are quick.
• Don't edit elsewhere, then save as a new edit session. Wikis assume that when you start a new edit session, that you started with the text it sent. Admins of MediaWiki-based sites might want to edit the page MediaWiki:Copyrightwarning to include this text (which is displayed in every edit): "DO NOT copy the text elsewhere, edit it, start a new editing session, and paste that edited text back into the new editing session. Starting a new editing session this way can erase other people's work."
• As a last resort, request that an admin lock the page temporarily. And, of course, discuss such a major change in Talk.
