can't you resave the cr2 with the morph channels installed? that's at least a start in the direction you're heading.

Very very nice ... you completely get rid of the poke thru in poser :) got one of the kids rooms steam cleaned .. and figured i'd take a break while it dried ... Having the two sided belt is a cool idea .. but the way i was doing it they were gonna criss cross which was gonna just be bad... problem is with doing it so they don't cris cross it still looks bad :( ... i'm thinking of adding a leather pad on each side for attaching a scabbard and then making straps the go from it to the main belt. we'll see how that looks .. the hip guards are causing the biggest problems as they are right in the way.

lol i'm using poser 4 keep that in mind ... hrmm .. magnets .. i've never used magnets .. cool idea! then i'll just be able to make shin guards and make them fit .. hrm... i wonder if i'm gonna have problems scaling and positioning the shin guards with the boots :( maybe i can export the boots after they're morphed as obj's re-inport them and use that to scale and place the shins guards... then again i need to make the shin guards first .. lol with what little poke thru there is ... after i make the shin guards we may not even need the morph ... i hope i don't make shis a huige waste of your time logan.... belt was coming along nicely .. then my system bluescreened and i suddenly realized jho long it had been since i saved ... the entire hip catch is gone.. :( ok off to steam clean the carpets!!!!

woooo hooo i have an official morph artist :) I have some ideas for the sword belt that incorporate the current belt... problem is i like to do a lot of dual wielding characters ... (yes .. i play elven rangers in dnd ... stop picking on me!) any how if i do the belt the way i WANT it .. i'll have side belts on each sid that'll basically criss cross .. while this looks good in theory .. on a single weapon character it looks really really dumb. so i'm toying with the idea of how i ant to do this .. i could end up doing 3 belts :( a left side, right side, and both sides belts.. what i'd love to do is find a way to just do the both sides belt and have dials for turning on or off each side .. but i'm no where near capable of figuring out how to do that ...

yeah i already figured if i do conforming gloves you'll have to turn the hands and fingers invisible... too many collision issues otherwise. I turn off visibility on hands and fingers anytime i use gloves .. i turn off the feet parts with boots too for that matter. with the cat suit i turn off almost the whole body. :) well i spent the morning making scabbard for my scimitar... and it looks really good .. finally. but looks like that's it for the day. I have lots of house work to do.

Ok, so last night when i went to bed i THOUGHT i was done with the modling for this armour..... lol gloves would be awesom... i'm not real sure how to do em ... i'll search for a tut somehwere ... i can probably figure em out but if someones done the ground work why reinvent the wheel :) Logan i like the variations in boots and shins, though it may be a bit of work as i'll be scaling it all up to fit over the catsuit and right now those boots don't fit .. but that's just a scaling thing. can probably be EASILLY rescaled ... poor posette will have bigger feet. hey wait.. you do morphs right logan i have a job for you! build me a morph for the scalemail boots to fit over the p4fem catsuit please!!!!! as for the sword belts ... i like two of them .. one of them will just be a modification of this belt..the other will have to be done from scratch ... and as for the shoulder harness ..well with the straps for the hipguards and shoulder ii'm not sure a shoulder harness will work without causing posing problems for those straps .. but we'll see what happens. will also have to make a scabbard now for my sword. you guys don't like me sleeping do you :P

actually logan i dont know if max and do rhino files ... theres a tut out there some where for how to cut things into groups in rhino. but xurge always says don't cut groups in rhino ... and he's right, i've never managed to cut groups in rhino and bring it into poser with out getting SERIOUSLY ugly seams. So .. what i normally do is mesh it as an obj, bring it into poser, and then user posers grouping tool to form my groups ... it's a serious pain in the kiester, and takes forever .. but it works flawlessly every time.

really the only pieces that'll be really bad will be the cuiras, the straps for the shoulders and hips, and possibly the tops of the hip guards... the rest of the pieces are made to fit in a single group.

and the gorget is gonna be a smart prop parented to the chest ... why the chest? so it doesn't bend thru the chest armour.. gorget's aren't very bendy any way especially metal ones .. so users will just have to use care with bending of the neck. Also i plan to scale this armour so it fits over the p4 fem catsuit... theres no coverage of posette's nether regions and i've never been fond of posette being naked with armour on.

1. there would be no way to make them with out running into trouble with the boot cuff.

2. those boots are jusr to sweet to throw away :)

heres what the whole suit looks like .. so .. um .. who wants to do the grouping and making the cr2's?

yeah i didn't think it'd work .. but was worth a try.
Hey logan, find me a picture of a sword belt and i'll see what i can do... but i just can't get a good picture of it in my head and if i can't see it i can't make it ...

Thanks Carolly, i did need that .. I fixed supper and came back and realized ... the very first curve i made had WAY too many control points .. that error threw off everything else i tried to do ... i went back and redid the curve outlining the bottom of the foot uusing only 8 or 9 points and started focusing un SIMPLE! and i have a nice smooth boot. the more i look at it the more i'm thinking i'm just not gonna do shin guards. i' thinking about probably doin knee legnth fold down boots .... we'll see how it looks and go from there :)

well i had intended for that belt to be funtional for carrying a sword :( ... honestly i just can't get it in my head ..

If any one has a picture of what would work i'd greatly appreciate it... right now i'm stuck trying desperately yo get the boots to work... stupid boots.... i keep getting jagged edges and meshes and really un usable surfaces and splits at the seams and all sort of trouble .... will scrap em and start over tommorow .. i think i need a break for the day.

i have some other stuff i'm working on too including an archery pack ... but i think before the archery pack is release i may want to find a morph artist who can male morphs for the quiver so the strap will fit on p4 fem, p4 male, michael, vicki, and steph... but i like modling for posette it kinda makes me diffrent :) the more i look at this the more i think the hip guards need to be thinner... more space between them.

i have the free aiko .. i'd have bought vicky before an anime character :)
