ok, I am going to need someone to help me out with hosting this file, any takers?

I have many more backgrounds now, I will have to make a second one soon :) maybe a new website is in order ;-) I do have a private one but it could never hold the amount of traffic generated from here as its limited and when it goes over I have to pay extra and its not cheap being on cable, so I have to go elsewhere to host files. I have a host at the moment but the space is limited but hey its free. Need to get my act into gear:)

ok, seems like the host doesn't like the remote linking, does anyone have some space to put the file for me?

I have the textures from my memebership at her site so I will test them out, I don't have ppp though.

definately the charger, that was the best free item of them all, I bought so much stuff to go with that charger. :)

I am still trying to get over the fact that I turned 30 this year! I mean when your in your late teens early twenties you can get away with a lot and it looks "cute".... but when you turn 30 its not so cute anymore.

actually I think that I might have an answer to the lashes, I will have to try it this afternoon when I get home. With the eyes, I set the eyewhites to a very dark grey in the self illumination setting I think it was 23 or 24 something like that,and on the eyeballs I put opacity to 0 then upped the spec factor and lowered the gloss a fraction until I was happy with the moistness of it. I think it could use a fraction more pinky veins in the eyes towards the lacrimals (which could also go a shade or two darker aswell) yet. I will check tonight. I also played around with shadows last night using one spotlight and found that the lacrimals tend to stick out a bit too much. Anyway gotta go to work, I will try more this afternoon :)

hey thats great, thankyou! big s :D actually I was just thinking about the eyes, how earlier in another thread we were saying the eyes are what seems to be different in Final Fantasy and Poser(max). Something I might try myself when I get the chance is to give the eyewhites an extrememely slight amount of self illumination, cause when I look at my eyes in quite a few different lighting situations the eye whites dont have that much shadow. I mean there is still shadow but it is very faint and has quite a bit of falloff and they are very moist looking. Just something I might try out and see.

yes it does, thankyou it gives me more to consider as by the time I import all the textures and such my machine isn't looking so good. Then again my machine is kinda chocked up at the moment so that doesn't help either, even poser is stalling and crashing on me with simple renders after a while, so I think I might need to clean a few things up, such a hassle though. A plugin would have been a great option too.

alas no, I am using just straight poser 4. Do you think its worth the upgrade? I am just waiting to see what is released in poser 5 before I make any moves I think. Also heard there are a few probs with importing into max still.

Colm, I find the same problem with the lashes. I have not used Max as much either, still trying to get my head around the manual, but the max renders do look a hell of a lot better than posers hehehe. I did learn quite quickly how to import the textures one by one into max without a problem but the lashes always look like they are dissapearing somewhat. The options you have with materials is great. Anyways looking good there :)

Colm, what did you render it in? I would love to know aswell hehehe. My guess is Max. He looks great btw, I am waiting for a cheque to clear so I can go and get him :)

I changed her eyebrows after posting these.
