I was away from Poser when RDNA shut down. Does anyone know if the Poser Place V4~WM, Outfitter, and other projects are currently available anywhere? If they aren't, those of us from the team who are still in the community should figure out where we can post them.

Cage I know there is also a WM V4 at Renderotica and I think also a WM Antonia there. BTW What ever happened to Antonia after RDNA Closed? She disappeared from the Poserverse w/o a mention. Too bad. She was a nice figure.

I absolutely have no clue why anybody would want to "rig" shoes/boots.

Take a shoe, boot, position it over the foot/toe, and save it as a "smart" prop of the foot with inherit bends checked ON.

The shoe/boot will follow all movements of the shin, foot, and toe's.

A "smart" prop will follow all movements one group up and one group down.

 

Same for "smart' propping hair.
Smart prop it to the neck, and it will follow all movement of the head, neck and collars.

The group it is parented to plus; One group up, and one group down.

Why make simple things so complicated?????
KISS never fails. :-)

Damn did NOT know you could do that. I have been parenting hair and clothes items for say V2 or V3 to V4 head or cheat or whatever not knowing it was a part up and part down that would work better. Thanks for the insight! Too Soon Old, too late Shmart!

nice set. thanks so much!

I am just curious will this work with props and nature sets and other non HUMAN characters which has of late been made exclusively for D/S? I am not interested in the G3+ figures but animals and sets/environments/props etc. are a must have for me and not being able to use them frustrates the hell out of me when so much better stuff than anything made in the past for Poser is made of late for D/S only.

can you show an image with her arms down? If this is a generic V3 I am sure what her shoulders will look like. If it is a newer modified version then maybe she will look less like a line backer and I might want to try her. LOL

Here's what the character looks like with Snarly's EZSkin script. Hair is Quarker's Slinky.

This is V3 though right? Her feet look like V3 and with the shoulders raises I can't really tell. It is too bad DAZ never fixed those damn shoulder/collar areas on the Mil3 figures. Both male and female figures looked awful out of the box and only looked a bit better when muscled up which left the otherwise beautiful V3/S3 out of the fashion/pinup model loop. I spent so damn much money on those figures and except for initial play never used them and deleted them all from my Runtime w/o further looking back. :(

Damn forgot all about this thread and the darn bot never called me back. What is the real big difference between Evolution Eve and the standard V4++ The instruction sell the one without giving me clear enough differences to insight me to put down my cash!

NUDITY HERE just curious if anyone here has tried any of Philosophers Egg animal morphs for Mil4 figures (M4, V4, K4)? They are quite beautiful. I got most of them and he has made a nice diverse menagerie of of face/head/body adjustments for the base figures and the Creature Creatir sets for them. If anyone here is interested look up Philosophers Egg (not sure I could post a link here sorry).!

This is a render with his Minotaur morph set:

oh just found the Chakat warrior I was talking about on another post here but due to adult nature not possible to post here.

In my initial post I alluded to a few different anthropomorphic figures that were made for Poser over the years.  So let's start with one of the earliest, the "Second Nature" series by LemurTek.  Yes, "series" since he modeled, rigged and released more than just one.

At their collective core, the Second Nature figures were seamless fusions between the Poser 4 nude male and female meshes and the program supplied animals, specifically, the housecat, the wolf and the lion.  In several cases, LemurTek bridged the torso of the P4 human figures and the heads of the aforementioned animals with custom neck geometry.  he also modified the hip geometry and linked the tail of the appropriate animal.  Of course, those animals had jut 4 or 5 tail segments, so any bends other than the joint at the hip tended to make the tails look "crimped" (as though a door or window had slammed upon them).  Not really LemurTek's fault as he worked with what was available to him at that time.

When I first "met" LemurTek, he had relesed a "catgirl" fusing the head of the Poser cat with the body of "Posette" (the Poser 4 nude female).  He opted to give the figure the thicker neck of a feline.  I asked him if he might consider creating a variation, one with a neck more proportionally human, but also having "digitigrade" (standing upon toes rather than flat upon the arch, "plantigrade") paw/feet.  To be honest, I can't remember the "terms", but the important point is that he agreed to create it.  And per my request, he used the thicker toes from the Poser lion rather than the dainty toes from the cat.  When I saw the finished design, I noticed he opted for a short, rather "felid" calf/shin section and a much longer arch.  Personally, I had hoped to for a leg that would have been roughly 1/3 length thigh, 1/3 length calf/shin (and a bit more human looking) and the final third being the feline arch and paw-like toes.  Still, many different leg designs exist for anthro' characters (there are no "absolute" standards), and LemurTek constructed what he thought appropriate.

LemurTek would later incorporate this leg design for the male counterpart as well as for leonine figures, both male and female.  For a Poser "werewolf", he used elements of the Poser wolf's rear legs.  By the time he stopped his project, LemurTek had released both plantigrade and digitigrade versions "cat people", "werewolves" and "lion people", both male and female.  Some had thicker animal necks, some had slender, more human necks.  He also released "tigers" modified from the lion head geometries, and foxes derived frpm the cats.  You may notice a pattern here.  They were all predatory species.  But he was working with what Poser offered and the program at that type only had one exclusive herbivore, a horse.  I don't think he ever attempted an equine.

Anyway, here is an example of that figure LemurTek made for me, one he called Guenevere.  However, it is not quite "straight from the box".  Little Dragon (whom I will discuss in greater detail in a later post) supplied a set of eye props to replace the static geometry of the original Poser cat's eyes as well as an ERC rigged figure he labeled the "Bushy Tail" having far more joints (for smooth bending) and a clever system of nested transparency mapped "cones" to produce a rather effective illusion of "bushy" or "fluffy" fur.

True, figure engineering has progressed a bit since this and its related figures were released, but for their time, they were quite nifty.  Hey, it can even handle the functions to quad divide the mesh with "errant" points stretching to the scene's "zero" coordinates.  that demonstrates some very clean modeling!

Sincerely,

Bill

I picked up all of Lemurteks figures but always had problems with some of the joints like wrists and arms etc. Seems when i migrated from P4 they all went south on me. I used his one of his male lions....sorry don't remember his name but he had a costume and weapons for him available in the freebies section, to make a lion taur using the Lemurtek humanoid upper body with the P4 lion body base body. Came out real nice. I replaced the static mane with a hair and beard figure i got from DAZ a lifetime ago an it looked even better. Lost the character in a hard drive crash while trying to back it up....go figure. Is that lion figure still available does anyone know? Would like to try it again for use in PoserPro 2014.

Returning to an earlier discussed figure, here's Melody as "Lt. Ahtahbi Mzzkiti" from "Freighter Tails", a web-comic I drew from 2001 and then allowed to languish after my writing partner, Paul Scott Gibbs died in 2002. Yeah, I used similar morphs similar to those I dialed for K'Tharr Rauthimas (mentioned in the first post)for her face, but that's logical as I used K'th as a "template" for Mzzkiti and simply drew her a tad more cartoonish style.

Aiko 3.0 Base...DAZ3D Aiko 3.0 Morphs and Maps...DAZ3D Kioki for A3...Beth Capsces Melody...Lady LittleFox Furries for Melody...Beth Capsces Tiger textures...Beth Capsces Rabbit textures...Beth Capsces Kasa for Aiko...JeNelson Versa-Tail...JeNelson A3 Bodysuits & Machine Gun set...Billy-T SPF padded vest...Little Dragon & Idelacio Tail tuft...Little Dragon

Sincerely,

Ha nice job. I still have some of the original Omaha undergrounds!

Well I have a few I worked on some time ago, I don't remember if it was a commission or not.

And I have on my gallery too

Forgive me if I missed something but these are real nice characters. What base figure were they built upon: Mil3, Mil4 or Genesis?

Wellllllll...I have both these skeletons but the heads are not breakable...at least not in any way I can break down to just a single side ass jaw bone! :) THis is more of what I am looking for.

hmmm. in store?

It was in Firefox I got this. Gotta try again today to see if it was just a freaky fluke!

Hey TgrrrL! i tried access your page using your link and got this error message. Needless to say I backed right out of there just in case but you might want to look into it....or not!
