OK So this is my first character ever. Ive posted a million questions on this board and everyone has helped me tons (which i appreciate). Please give me any kind of feedback possible. Negative,Positive I need it all. I tried to make a beach type scene for her but for the life of me I cannot make a beach look in bryce. Im working on #2 now but I have no idea how to make any facial hair. Is there a tutorial out there somewhere. Thanks again everyone for all the help.

Nice Pic! Love the angle of the light! Are those painted on clothes? Looks nice!

Looks great ! Maybe let us see some of her eye. Otherwise very nice !

Looks good. I think I like her without the facial hair. I do most of my rendering in Bryce too. BTW, you know you can get those transmaps to work in Bryce, don'tcha? Follow the link to a great, simple tutorial on Poser to Bryce. Click on tutorials in the upper right hand corner. Keep up the good work! Love to see more.

We have a tutorial at Poser Arcana by Tony Bolton on importing Victoria into Bryce...this one is updated for Victoria 2 and Michael. Cris

This is fantastic. Boy, another newbie who looks like a pro!

That's a really comprehensive tutorial, elektralusion, and well written (and I'm only half-way through). One thing I've discovered so as to avoid ungrouping the figure (I'm on a Mac, so YRMV) is that if you select the grouped figure then click on the solo select button (see above) you can then tab through the varoius elements while they are grouped, an option you don't have while not in solo select mode (at least, not on a Mac). This has save me more headaches...

Let's try this:

Thanks for all the help everyone, I appreciate i tons.

Joe, Even if you want flat sand on the edge of your beach, I'd suggest dropping a "terrain" mesh on the ground plane and flattening, stretching it until it fills a great portion of the scene. Add sky. Add your sky and land textures (I never use anything straight out of the package, but fiddle with it a bit). Position the camera low near the middle, facing a nice section of sky. (In Bryce, you can go into the editor and position the sun or moon with numerical precision.) Add water. The water's edge ought to be irregular since you have an irregular terrain mesh. You now have a nice landscape waiting for subject matter. You can import people, add rocks or plants, put a boat or sea serpent on the horizon, whatever. You have a warm lovely image here. With cast shadows on a textured ground, the scene will start to pull together. Carolly

Great job! Nice colors. I don't know of any facial hair tutorials, but I can tell you one thing, all the poser maps I've bought with facial hair use high resolution photos of actual mustaches and beards, and as a matter of fact the last Curiou Labs Report has a section on texturing and gives hints at creating a beard map for the head. Hope that helps.

why do you want facial hair? I didn't raise you that way, Your loving mother
