Quote - > Quote - I think that Apollo is still the best male figure in poser. Anton really knew what he was doing when he modelod Apollo. It's a fantastic mesh and so well rigged. I still use Apollo a lot and like him.

But the funny thing is, that when I released a freebie for Apollo, people pretty much told me that they'd rather like to see free stuff for vicky. Some guy even thought that my Apollo freebie was so horrible, that it only merited one star. He thought it was so bad, that it wasn't even worth commenting on. And maybe it was that bad. But the point being is, that lack of enthusiamism from the poser community is a big part of the demise of Apollo.

 

Don't let them get you down.  you make great things.  It's a detriment to the "art" of the average consumer that they don't appreciate the merits of Apollo, and really, really really really, don't let some guy who gives you a one star rating impact your evaluation of what you've made.  You're the best modeler of superhero stuff we've got going.  If some twit wants to give you one star because they can't recognize that Apollo is still a superior figure to M4, just don't pay attention to them.  I had one asshat open up 16 accounts just to leave me one star ratings, and he'd use them all to drive my star ratings down, and when sharecg caught him and deleted his surplus accounts, he just did it again. Don't pay attention to that kind of feedback.  People have all kinds of reasons for doing the things they do, the least of which is usually offering an honest critique of your work.

 

If I'm the best Superhero modeler in poserdom, then that whole genre is pretty much screwed, dead and on life support. Depressing thought.

16 accounts, just to leave you 1 star ratings ?!?! That just  boggles the mind. It's like every week internet gets slightly more weirder.  Where do these guys come from? There must be some dark spawning pit somewhere in the world, where they just breed these trolls, for the soul purpose of making everyone elses online experience more miserable.

Well I recently had my own encounter with the darker side of Share cg, but I'll leave it at that.

I have mike4 as well. I mean he is free after all, but I don't like him. Just so happens that, Werts released a Samuel L Jackson like morph recently and I liked the character Jackson played in the Star Wars movies (my guilty pleasure), so I maybe compelled to make some "cosplay scifi" costume for mike 4.

But  Apollo is far better. He is practically the only male poser figure that I use. I mean, even just out of the box, Apollo looks like a real man. When I show my poser "art" to  my friends, who are not into poser or 3d, always say that Apollo is the most natural looking figure. I certainly agree with them.

I have some Apollo projects that I am currently working on. I'd like to update my first Apollo freebie. I just hate how the cape looks. Dynamic clothing would be so much better, but people don't seem to like dynamic clothing. And then there are the Daz users. So  I feel like I am forced to make these confirming capes,but they don't look and feel very natural.

And as a big Dare Devil fan , I'd like to make something inspired by that character. I just don't really understand how Apollo's scale dials work. I am staring at the cr2 files and scratching my head.  Maybe some casual clothing would be nice too. So many projects, so little time.... Plus people cry for more Vicky 4 stuff as if she was in dire need of more support...

D'oh! Why do things that happen to stupid people keep happening to me?
