I made these force shields a while back. I just cleaned them up recently and I was thinking of putting them in the store for a low price (say $5 for all three). Do you think people would be interested in them? They conform and they're for Mike, Vicki and the Millenium pre teens (male and female). Do you think I need to provide some sort of belt as a shield generator? If I did, that would push the price up by a few dollars. The Vicki hair in the pic is by Alla, pre teen hair by Kozaburo, Vicki texture by Shredboy, clothing textures and set by Davo.

This is very interesting....love the colors to the sheilds...Sharen

Here they are again with different colours. I would probably include MAT poses for a half dozen different schemes.

That looks kinda cool. Reminiscent of something out of the Dune movie several years back.

Yeah, that's what I was thinking of when I made them.

They do look very cool. as far as a control thing, I would say good idea but it would be difficult to make out. For like in dune all it was a a smallish bos with a button. I do see some interesting texture ideas for these tho.

I guess if I were going to make the shield generator it would be a big chunky belt. It doesn't have to look like the movie. I'm not trying for a duplicate or anything.

Very Cool Ajax! I like these better then the ones in the Lynch film. Have you thought about trying spherical shaped ones too? Doug

Yes! Yes! I've been needing something just like this for a scene for my movie! The belt shield generator would be cool, (ironically, my script calls for the character to press a button on her belt and the shield comes up...) and a few bucks more wouldn't really be a problem. Can you let me know as soon as they're for sale? I want to buy them! Thanks!!

Maybe a wrist mounted device?

Hmmm - Davo's shard suits has a wrist gauntlet with buttons (on the texture). That could work, jarm...

That's what I was thinking :-)

Doug, Actually I started out trying to do elongated spheres instead of boxes, but they didn't look good. The hard edges on the boxes are much easier to make stand out in Poser. I might have another try someday, but not soon. Also one of the things I really like about these is that they have less than 200 polygons each. They are small, small, small. Spheres would blow that out to about 10 000 or so. Silver, jarm, Mike is actually wearing Davo's wrist thing in the pic above. I'll talk to Davo and see if he'll agree to do the belt texture for me if I make one. I'd like it to match his suits. I might have to make Mike's waist box bigger to fit a belt inside.

They look real cool. I don't think a "generator" is absolutely necessary. It can be understood to be there (not like you can actually see them spewing out of the generator). You could always offer two packages - one with generator, one without. Did you do the "effect" with a gradient transparency?

It's a combo trans map and bump map with the right trans/ambience/highlight settings. I had to mess around for a quite a while to get the effect I was after. I really like the way the static shows up in close ups (like this one).

Oh, that close-up sold me! Yeah, these are great. Who cares how they're generated-- thought fields, yeah, they're empathically produced. Do they just fit around Catsuits? Not that that is a big prob. Immensly cool. Emily

Well, I think I'll skip the generator - at least for the moment. I might make it further down the track. There are 144 polygons in each suit so they really are light. Full zip size is under 300kb at the moment. They're roomy enough to fit around a little more than a catsuit. If you had an outfit with big shoulders or something you could probably morph the collar parts up to a larger size fairly easily. Scaling works well on the head (to fit a helmet or big hair) and as long as you don't need to make a body part longer (wider and thicker are OK), you could just scale most of the body parts to fit bulky clothing.

Well....you know I love them! I am glad ya did the Vicki version! ;o)
