Hello all!

I've been playing with Apollo Maximus again and I'm kind of frustrated that I can't easily apply a good variety of poses to him like I can M4 or Genesis. Which makes me wonder:

1. Are there any good poses for Apollo anyone can recommend?
2. More importantly, is there a way to apply poses from M4 (or Genesis, I guess) to Apollo? In my initial attempts, the legs do well with M4 poses but the arms get all akimbo. Might there be a pose translation utility?

Thank you in advance for any help you can provide.

Also, I apologize in advance if this has been discussed in a previous thread. Please ignore my ignorance and poor search-fu skills. Just point me in the right direction and I'll be on my way...

Unfortunately, the lack of poses is what discouraged me from using this figure more. I've only done a few illustrations with Apollo because I just couldn't get enough poses to fit him into my workflow. Honestly, I only tried using M4 poses once, and the results were so bad that I never tried again. If you find any good pose sets, please post a link here.

Actually, there are a lot of poses that were created for Apollo. I've got quite a few in my runtime but can't remember where i downloaded them. However, they may be at this link which I bookmarked a long time ago:

LMK if you have trouble accessing the site. There's also a large thread I started last fall about AM where others posted links for him here in the Renderosity forums. Good luck!

The only source for Apollo poses has recently dried up; I can suggest ShareCG for some free content, but it might be slim. The only utility capable of translating poses is no longer available for current Poser versions, leaving the built in Poser script as the only acceptable method for transposing. When attempting to apply poses from other figures, turn off IK and limits; you should get a closer fit with tweaking.

If you have all the package downloads that were available for Apollo, you have some great core poses and partial poses to build on. Realistic and a great starting point. This model is as good as any available today. He has a unique approach ... if you are willing to dig in and experiment with him you will be amazed! I love him.

And something I did for a giggle ...

These are Superfly renders and firefly renders. The second and fourth are both firefly renders from 7-9 years ago.

Boni, the female render needs work, head looks massive compared to the neck and body. In addition, it still has prominent male characteristics.

Hi. Content Paradise still has lots of Apollo Pose sets by Qraffx - Qraffx pose sets are very good, I have many lol :) the Qraffx store - includes the artists rax, Yve, Merizon, Teris, sukips, lifezy, ixdon, pdm, roxiedee - a few of whom were/are also renderosity artists

Another place to look would be the Poser & DS free resource wiki - https://poserdazfreebies.miraheze.org/wiki/Apollo_Maximus
