Sorry for the OT, but that happens when cats come in.
OMG... I hijacked this thread - this was not my intention!!! So far  there's still just one kitten. No name yet as we are not sure about it's gender - and a close friend of us wants to adopt it when it's old enough so maybe we'll leave it to him how to call the little critter (but if it's a tom-cat it very much looks like an Anton ). I've heard of it both: Young cats only having one baby or getting pregnant while already pregnant and because of this giving birth to another kitten some days later. As long as babie(s) and mommy are well and in a whole we are happy regardless how much kitten will be born.

I am, no wonder, very tired today and so I will just enjoy easter and some good movies - but Leo is fit and working on the freebie site!

SF, I love that image with the text!

I am eased - I did not want to "kill" the original pinup, this was just an idea when I saw that pose - and I wanted to do something with the volleyball-set.

Estava a procurar alguns tutoriais e me deparei com Antonia. Confesso que fiquei deslumbrado com o realismo e qualidade que ele vem ganhando. Parabéns a Odf , SaintFox , BluEcho e a todos que estão participando de alguma maneira neste projeto. Ela é realmente maravilhosa..
Was looking for some tutorials and came across Antonia. I confess I was impressed with the realism and quality that it is increasing. Congratulations to ODF, SaintFox, BluEho and all who are participating in any way on this project. It is really wonderful.

Thank you, flaviok.
Nice to see you here. :)

Quote - Antonia loves her new lips, muah!

CHEERS!

Glad you like it RB!

SaintFox - the promos are looking great!
BluEcho - thanks so much for setting up a home for Antonia!

I really want to try some of these new goodies but, it will probably have to wait until over a week from now. I'll be on-call 24-7 next week with the day job, so free time to play will be at a minimum :(

Everybody keep up the good work and see ya soon!
Laters!

Quote - That's pretty cool. Love the pose. What's more, she looks almost decent in that outfit.

("Follow" with a double-l, by the way. )

Almost decent? Nay....MORE than decent. Much more. Hate to break it to you, but imo she looks as a woman should. Very womanly shape. Very much your average female. Not anorexic or super athletic, but any woman you should see in the supermarket or at the kids ball game.  Which is so good to see finally. But somehow, I think you planned for people to have this opinion of her all along. I'm very impressed.

I meant decent as in "decently dressed". As opposed to nekkid and such.

I just posted an image using my "GranTia" texture and morph.
It is finished and works much better now than when I first added it on the developer's site.

Thank you very much SF, and congrats on your furry baby!  :D

Ooh!  Lips!  :laugh:

There's so much great stuff happening with Antonia lately!  It's so cool!  :woot:  I really need to spend some time working with her again.

Many thanks to everyone for all the wonderful things I can try with her!  :woot:

Lips are uploaded. :)

No problem,

Textures like yours were just what I was waiting for.

CHEERS!

That'll come in handy!

CHEERS!

Antonia looks fantastic. But I have a problem with her. I can't get any of her textures to work for her other than the one she came with. I really want to use Antonia. I use DS 2.3 and 3.

Quote - I've been doing some more work on the hands. Here's what they now look like with the fingers together, after futrther reshaping and some fine-tuning of the joint parameters. I've also changed the rotation order for the thumb to XYZ, which is closer to the traditional hand rigging in Poser figures. I think this stuff might keep me occupied for some time to come. I'd really like the hands to scale properly, as well, which will take an insane amount of fiddling, if I can manage it at all.

Do you use propagating scale? I've heard that is useful for scaling hands.

CHEERS!

odf,

The YZX rotation order in Antonia's Thumb1 did surprise me a bit. but the rotation order does seem to vary between figures, P4 figures are XYZ, as is V4. Surprisingly M4 is XZY, as are V3, The Girl and SP3.

In P4 figures, The Girl, V4, V3, SP3 and M4, X is always the twist JP channel. I don't know enough about rigging a human figure to understand the significance of any of this.

Quote - Do you use propagating scale? I've heard that is useful for scaling hands.

That sounds like a good idea, provided that the other factors can be wrestled into submission enough to allow the scaling to propagate to the fingers without distortions when the fingers are bent. That sounds like a big ask, fingers are notorious for not scaling well. Perhaps deleting any smoothScale channels and just relying on propagating scale is the way to go.

I've never actually tried it myself, I just read about it and remembered it.

CHEERS!

Propagating scale does NOT work properly in any version of DS.

It scales hands or feet  fine, BUT you also need to create an erc control, with a smoothing morph for the hand to forearm connection.

Sometimes the smoothing morph is easy, sometimes it is quite difficult. To add head scaling to freak, I actually blended about 15 smoothing morphs to get it to work properly.

Since I did all my Daz PLUS sets, I'm sure I could add boy part scaling to Antonia, but since the work requires a final cr2, and a final obj, I can;t really look at it our touch it till she is 1.0.

Any cr2 changes, or obj changes, and the work could possibly have to be redone.

Oh right,

Bad news for DS then as it was a Poser article that I read. I think I'd leave that side of things to odf.

CHEERS!

Poser pro 2010 added support for Daz's V4 figure scaling I beleive. For dual compatibility, scaling would have to be added in that manner.

As usual, you will need to drop the ".TXT" part on the file name. You may need to disable 'Hide file extensions for known file types' in the Windows Folder Option View tab, in order to see the extension.

I may do a more extensive package later, using the same technique of one dial to change between morphs, as used in Dial A Nipple.

Attached Link: Antonia's Free Site

The Antonia free site is officially launched.

Let's give a round of applause to Digital-Lion and SaintFox because without their help this site would still be just an idea.

To upload your free items, click on the "Members" button and the upload menu will come up.
Thumbnails size is 200x200.

There are two sets ready at the site, SaintFox and Digital-Lion have uploaded their beautiful texture set and I have posted the Gran Tia set.

And for any further news about this site, I will let SF tell you what she and Leo have planned. 

YAY! Maybe I can download here and the stufs for her as well now.

Sweet.. I got my two items uploaded

Thank you BluEcho, Digital-Lion, SaintFox.  :)   Can we fly a banner in our sigs? I saw a banner pic in this thread some where, it was very nice.

Thank you BluEcho e todos os envolvidos , parabéns pelo lançamento do site

I have just finished uploading the Danika set as well.
Gran Tia is in the Texture/morph section and Danika in the Textures section.
Tomorrow or next day I will upload the one with the shaven,unshaven body textures. :)

 Works fine ??

BluEcho,

Thanks so much for this site, it should prove extremely useful. Love the navigation, very straight forward and easy to use.

Many thanks also to Digital-Lion and SaintFox for their part in getting the site up and running.

*Antonia looks fantastic. But I have a problem with her. I can't get any of her textures to work for her other than the one she came with. I really want to use Antonia. I use DS 2.3 and 3.

I will upload some basic settings for DAZ Studio in an hour or so that may help you getting started. Hopefully Fisty will create some more advanced material settings as well sooner or later.

:woot:  Fantastic!  Thank you, BlueEcho!  :thumbupboth:

Will the link for the Antonia wiki be on the "links" page?  I'm kind of wondering how I can access the wiki.    This thread moves so fast that I keep getting lost and missing important things.  :lol:

Near top right corner of this page. Then in the wiki type "Antonia" into the search box.

Done - the DS mats are available on the Freestuff site!

And about the nose-morphs: I LOVE the dail-a-feature morphs, they satisfy my inner playchild AND they are very handy!!

Digital_Lion, it works fine for me. :)

lesbentley, Cage, and others...you are most welcome.

Wow!  :lol:  You know, I'd never even scanned that menu beyond the "Site Mail" line. 

Thanks, Les!

*Can we fly a banner in our sigs? I saw a banner pic in this thread some where, it was very nice.

You mean here, in the renderosity forums? Yes, of course! Click on the "Forum" button above to access "My froum options. In the field where you can add a signature you can add an image as well by clicking on the little icon with the landscape on it.

Sensational Stuff allround, Antonia and all the extras,oh and not forgetting the Designers. Bravo Guys

Leo is planning on a banner rotation that can be implemented in websites. So everybody who wants to send in Antonia-banners is welcome!
The banners should be child-safe (like those here at Renderosity) because we have no influence where they will be displayed and as they are rotating.
The size should be
200 pixels wide and 50 pixels height

The adress where you can send the banners to bannercollect(at)german-3d.de.
Please replace the (at) with an @ - I have to write it this way to prevent the box from spam.
We just lauched the eMail adress but it will take up to three hours until it's alive (why ever - our hoster is a bit strange, but it's cheap ).

Thanks and congratulations to BluEcho, Digital_Lion and SaintFox for your time and effort in getting the site up and running!

A couple of questions:

In what category do I upload texturing resources?

Is it ok to upload my morphs in obj format? I really don't understand the pmd inj/rem thing.

I dont create much at all to help with the project but I would gladly fly a banner to help spread the word. :biggrin:

Something like this would be great with a link for the site.

Maybe we need an MR category.
I also have a free MR for Toni that I want to update and post there.

*Is it ok to upload my morphs in obj format? I really don't understand the pmd inj/rem thing.

No isn't:
All files for downloading must be upload as .zip

Sorry, I should have been more clear. I meant the obj files in a zip.

 Antonia WIKI is available on the HP -> "Links"

The Antonia's Free Site site has "Antonia's Basis Figure". Shouldn't it be "Antonia's Base Figure" or "Antonia Basic Figure"?

lesbentley **great looking nose morphs.

BluEcho nice simple effective site.
