Quote - I am thinking about adding a cape.

For best results, make it dynamic;  assign a strip of vertices at the neck to the constrained group, and all the rest to the dynamic group.

 

     I've been on duty for the last 24hrs, but this what I've got done:

Dual-layer EZ-posed tube, "unwrapped" UV mapping.

SFX beam zeroed

 

SFX beam S-bend

     I also have a seamlessly looped AVI of lightning and just finished another lightning

AVI which has linear behavior (begins, surges forward, dies away).

     I still need to set up the start-stop control mat.  I'll try to remember to rename the nodes so that you know what each node is doing.  And then  to pack a zip.

     Important note for those on 64bit systems:  an AVI compressed with a standard codec will not work if your computer is 64bit.  If you have any of the currently available versions of Poser on a 64bit system and want to use this effects model, in lieu of an AVI I can make a matrix which will work on 64bit systems.
