Quote - Any hints? Should I go over to RDNA and ask around what's missing for Antonia or something like that?

I think what Antonia is really missing right now is face morphs.  The basic expression pack included with the figure can cover some things, but based on my (probably flawed) efforts to apply them, I wonder if they're better suited for phonemes than a full range of expressions.  She could use more morphs, perhaps, or at least an expression library which applies the existing ones.  I think she could also use a displacement map for muscle detail.  I kind of miss small details around the knees, in the neck or torso or forearms where they could add a lot to the effectiveness of the figure.

But I would still vote for a dynamic hair utility.  :lol:  Or a compiled Poser Python matrix and vector math library (Poser 9 and Poser Pro can use .dll files via the ctypes module, and Mac can use the equivalent file type for that platform).  Unfortunately both of these would probably need to be in C++.  I only mention it because I'm very impressed by your programming, and... because I mention these things everywhere nowadays, just hoping.  :lol:

Quote - Cage, I've thought about the mesh tools library, and I'll most certainly do it in Python, so people will be able to use it in their own scripts.

Excellent!  Oh, excellent!  I'm very interested in what this library may be able to accomplish!

Quote - Would you like an Antonia with 160k polys? Because that should be relatively easy to do, at least for the weight-mapped version (I think).

Ooh!  That might be better than displacement maps.  I should read everything before I start responding.  :laugh:

Quote - I can automatically transfer normal morphs onto a subdivided mesh, but that doesn't quite work with JCMs (I forgot why exactly).

Did it have anything to do with the weld zones?  Colorcurvature has shown how Poser's welds can wreak havoc with morphs.  Apparently it's a whole lot of no fun.  :scared:

Glad to have you back, odf!  :thumbupboth:

Cage can be an opinionated jerk who posts without thinking.  He apologizes for this.  He's honestly not trying to be a turkeyhead.

Cage had some freebies, compatible with Poser 11 and below.  His Python scripts were saved at archive.org, along with the rest of the Morphography site, where they were hosted.
