oh wow, it's a great creature... thanks for the info! Max

oh, Veritas, I think I didn't explain things too clearly... it's easy to fit the V3 doaeyes because of the morphs that V3 has... you can use the Big Eye morph and the eyes fit perfectly... but I don't use the alien eyes on V3, ti's not really necessary... but the alien eyes had helped me a LOT on all my mike 2 characters... thanks to the alien eyes I can make the guys' eyes bigger, otherwise I don't know how I could do it... and I haven't used V2 yet for my characters... I mostly use V3 to V2, but for sure if I use V2, I'll have to resource to the alien eyes in the same way i use them for the guys. Oh, here's my first and LAST mike 3 characters... I mainly did it to show riddokun that his V3 eyes fit M3 perfectly... but M3 is definately NOT what i want in my characters.. as much as I tried to make him thing and stuff, it was just too much complication... and it ended up looking like M3 anyway... what i like about the bishonen pack is that it turns all the M2 into completely new characters... you can barely see the traces of M2 in them... but in this M3 characters, it's so easy to tell that he's M3. and yeah, you can put the DOA yes on the Mil Girls with the Universal doaeyes.. you the the MIlgirls are basically small victorias, so you can use victoria skins and eyes on them... Riddokun, did you use the universal eyes on the MIlBoys?? i would have though they shoud take the michael mats... but if they use the victoria mats, much better. Max

heh, a Maya PT? it could work... hey, riddokun, what in the world is the blackhearted eyes??? I have no idea about them... is blackheart a character or something? oh, here's a character with the grey eyes... grey is a great tone, IMHO.

I was going to comment that Michael 3 looks too much like Victoria 3, but now I will just shut up.

hmmm, I didn't know about this green creature, and that that was the WIP... where is that green... dog from?? where is it available? Max

that was really interesting link, thanks.

hmm, the fake refelction on the reflection maps?? sounds interesting... be sure I'll be testing them out! Max

and here's the final one... greeting to insom_nia, who seemed to like this particular character better.

and this is the other character that I posted previously, but with the Maya doa eyes... doesn't look that much different, but the eyes look WAY better...

hmm, i forgot to add... I did work the eyes a LITTLE bit in photoshop 7, but not that much... I think it was mainly the poser lights that lightened up the eyes.

hey, thanks to all for the nice feedback... and here I was thinking I was going to be flamed or something... hmm, they don't look feminine?? well, the bishonen package kind of makes all male characters look girly by default, but maybe it's not that notorious here, and I'm glad to see that the "manga" look seems to have been accomplished without really stating it. I tweaked the eyes like crazy... in Victoria3 characters things were really easy, I just put the big eyes morph to 0.347 and all of riddokun's eyes fit perfect, but for V2/M2/Steph charactersa I have to work them by hand... thanks whoever for the alien eyes, that's what has helped me the most. I'll try again with the mayadoll eyes... for some reason, I thought the mayadoll eyes and the unviersal eyes wereb the same... i didn't realize the MD were more natural... we'll see. thanks again for the constructive feedback! Max

hey, I was thinking in something like that, but my whole point was to make scenes where you could see the whole city in the background (I have mountains there and all)... but well, knowing that partial renders are not possible, apparently, then i guess my solution is just to upgrade my ram memory (it's measly 128 now). thanks for the reply Max

hey sharen, thanks for the quick reply. Actually, after I posted, i was kind of figuring out how to this myself... I could open the doors of one of your rooms, then build another small room with 4 6 square props (4 walls, celing, floor), texture it with the same textures as one of the rooms, and then connect the other room to the other end of this "hall".. I'm thinking mostly in background scenes where Iw ant one of my characters watching tv in the xmas room, but you could see the bathroom or the renroom in the back... and with this "hall" thingy it could be possible... that way, the rooms don't have to be modified. and after all the rooms are connected, the empty spaced (where you could see the halls from the outside) could be covered by some other small room... hmm, I guess I'll work on this and I'll post a picture of the result... the only thing i have no idea what to do a about is the roof... maybe more square props put in a triangle shape? Max

wow, that last one was THE explanation, thanks... I apprecite that info on the shadows, but I think that so far I'll give vue d'sprit a try and see how tat goes. thnx to everyone Max

great work! but I was wondering, is there any chance that your RoomS could be inter connected? I did connect one of your bathrooms to the family room, but I had to make a wall invisible for that and I had to indeed make the bathroom size bigger (I think it was like 120% or something). just wondering.. if you could create a hall or something that could enbale you to connect all your rooms into a single house (which is what i've been trying to do), that would be awesome. And while we're at it, how about some roof (heh heh, I'm just kidding with this). thanks for all your great work, and specially thanks for making most of your stuff available for free for us low-income folks :) Max
