I am going to get flamed for this, BUT.... I don't appreciate Red XIII getting ripped off so utterly and blatantly. If this was freestuff, that would be kinda cool, but to sell it? I highly disapprove. 'Nuff said. Jennifer

Really? You collected anime art? I thought you hated anime, Gabriel? ;) Ascii - I think its looking pretty nice. Just make some of the shapes a little more 'sensitive' maybe. :) Love the elf ears, but then I've got this thing for them. Mmm... elf ears. Jennifer

I use softimage. Haven't done anything absolutely amazing in it yet, but I do use it.

I don't like the bottom clothing, but that top is really striking! Makes me wish I could buy just that part. :) Either way, I'll definitely have a look at it when it hits the store.

Lately I've really been into the cyber-creature look, but I haven't bought anything because I haven't seen something that looks terribly realistic. There ARE some cool ones out there, but all the airbrushing is obvious. I like a more realistic look. Definitely in the market for something really unique and different though - like places where the nature of the skin changes around certain areas but looks like its completely natural for that 'species'. Natural markings, that sort of thing. Some examples: The veins on Seymour from Final Fantasy 10 - they looked natural to his species. Or some sort of fantasy creature where maybe in the areas where the most sunlight hits, they have beautiful green areas where they have photosynthesis. Just putting on a tatoo or tatoo-esque spots doesn't count for me.

THANK YOU! Thank you so much! This is too cool. I just bought a beautiful texture for Stephanie that I thought would look great on Vicki too. Jennifer

(For clarification's sake, only the 'Ki' facial texture was used in the above image)

You know what I'd LIKE to see more stuff like this for? Not for Michael's bodysuit, but just for Michael. That way I can make use of some of the different body shapes I'm trying to develop. This would be a great underlying texture to put armour on top of, etc. I'd be interested in it, but not sure how much I'd pay for it. Always hard to judge that sort of thing.

You know, his 'closing down' is really convenient - perfect chance for him to use it as yet another manipulation. He's really good at that. I have nothing against him offering free items, but as he has been permanently site-banned, I don't like him offering them here. There are so many great 3d graphics communities, why can't he just forget about this one and move on? Its what I'd do. But I guess thats the logical thing to do.

Bleh, typing too fast. That last paragraph should be: "I will NOT say anything else...", even. And I mean it this time. :)

This is going to be last thing I say in this matter, because I'm not going to waste my breath trying to defend myself when I know that it will be thrown back in my face as me just trying to 'justify' myself. I can assure you that what I say is honest and sincere.

Yayoi is an original body morph by me. End of story. ClintH has all the permission he wants to share the .pz2's with someone for comparison. I have complete faith in them. I back them totally and utterly. I will not waver in this no matter what is said, no matter how my product and I are threatened. I KNOW for sure with 100% accuracy I made them from a blank Victoria, no one else knows that one way or the other and until the .pz2's are compared, I would appreciate it if people would stop trying to crucify me. So please, ClintH... I BEG you to get someone to compare the two .pz2's side by side. The dial values will be significantly different. The only thing I ask is that it be done by an unbiased mediator.

I caught on quite a long time ago that there would not be a single thing I could do that would satisfy Blackhearted spare scraping this project all together. And I refuse to do that, because doing that is the same as admitting to doing something wrong. I maintain very firmly that this is not the case. This really is the last straw. Blackhearted can accuse Yayoi of looking 'similiar' to Ki until he is blue in the face, but he and others have MORE then accused me of not starting with a blank Victoria. I will not allow this to continue.

I will say anything else on this matter until I recieve an apology from Blackhearted, or at the least an agreement to cease and desist. It saddens me more then I can say to lose friends over this and I hope they believe me when I say that I am just as upset as they are. But it has to stop.

Oh yes. Time to pick on Summfox because Blackhearted is a saint. Please allow me to defend myself. I will start from the beginning: 1) I absolutely never recall Blackhearted talking about creating a pack of eye textures. If he said I was there, I must have been there, but I also must have been doing something else because I don't remember it a single bit. 2) What DID inspire me to make my eye texture set was Curio's beautiful set of textures for real eyes. At the time they were the only thing around, also too expensive in my honest opinion. And when I came across some good source material, I thought: Why not? I could use some extra cash. So I developed an eye texture set. Originally they were only going to be for RealEyes, but being brand new to the merchanting scene, I decided to make them as good a value as I could. So I included them in lots of forms. The only time I EVER mentioned the .psd format was whether or not to include the highlights that way, so people could add them if they wanted them. Nothing else. In the end, someone told me that they thought it was a bad idea, perhaps even Blackhearted. End of story. I never even realized that I had 'stolen' any idea from Blackhearted because I do not recall him ever saying anything about it. I do recall him saying he didn't even like the RealEyes. (and initially that was what I was doing the textures for). End of story. 3) Ki versus Yayoi. Blackhearted for some reason seems to think that I took Ki and stretched her out. That I didn't start from a blank Victoria. I don't know how many times I have to tell him, but I DID start from a completely blank Victoria. I would NEVER start from someone else's creation, especially when I'm calling people on copying other people's work? I wasn't even looking at Ki as I was developing Yayoi, I was looking at anime images. In fact, I can show you the pictures I was using. You'll see where I developed every single curve from. Just ask and I will post them. I'm also sorry if Blackhearted seems to think that doing a decent morphing job is HARD, because its not. I'm also sorry that some of the angles happen to be similiar. Its purely coincidental. When it comes down to it, I WILL stand by my originality, I WILL stand by my product. I will not allow Blackhearted to use his popularity to get me down. My product was created from a blank Victoria. My .pz2 files will also stand up against his as completely different. I will gladly send my .pz2 to any administrator who decides to compare the two. I have complete faith in it. The only thing of Blackhearted's that I used was I took at look at his MOR file to see how he accomplished the scaling, because Xena's MOR tutorial didn't cover that aspect! All I can say is that this has been a very unfortunate situation. Oh and Blackhearted - I thought you said on ICQ that creating an anime figure and face to compete with mine was BENEATH you? Guess not anymore.

She's a face/MOR combo for Victoria 2. So you definitely need to own Vicki 2 in order to use Yayoi.

Consider it done. :) (And of course if its still not long and slim enough, thats easy enough to adjust to personal taste) :)
