Amy, congratulations on the baby.  I think you'll find that a baby eats up even more time than Poser can.  [grin]

Wonderful work!  Is it only me, or is anyone else missing texture files for the slippers MAT poses?  I seem to be missing a red one and a black one.

So, this new Standard Antonia . . . does she use the 'A' mapping or another mapping?

So, Antonia's gone professional, has she?

Sounds like I was both right and wrong:  Multiple versions of Python not good.  Regular Python installation vs. Poser Python installation not a problem.  Am I correct, now?  Or am I even more confused than I feared?

I don't know if Poser has a JavaScript API or not, to be honest.  I thought we were discussing a stand-alone item, with most people being dependent on the Python that comes with Poser.  (Although I just realized that if it IS a stand-alone app, then people could just download Python separately, and Poser could continue to cheerfully run on the version it comes with.  As far as I know, having multiple copies of Python isn't a problem.)

Although if using JavaScript let you run a stand-alone app in a browser, that would probably save a lot of work on a GUI for the thing . . .

Me not know.  Me just technician who dabble in programming.  Me use BASIC and ARexx a lot.

The Python version discussion is why I would recommend JavaScript for the tools, ODF.  I have a similar problem with the late, lamented MetaForm:  it works reasonably well in Poser 6, but because Poser 7 switched Python versions, it dies.  And I'm up to Poser Pro 2010 and hoping to upgrade.

I'd hate to see a wonderful tool suddenly go belly-up just because the Python version changes.  And it will change; we know that.

I also think that your mesh tools would be very useful as a commercial product to developers.

Pretty!

They're quite beautiful and fun to play with even as they are.

FaceGen is wonderful stuff.  But you have to buy a second package, about the same price, to get the .obj files into Poser figure compatible shape.  And if you want to DISTRIBUTE what you've done, that requires a license that is also rather pricey.

But I've run the FaceGen demos several times and always been pleased with the results.  Very little touchup would be required in most cases, and in some, none at all.

Still, that would be one way of getting real faces onto Antonia.  (forcing myself back on-topic)

It's a pity I don't know of a way for people to create their own Face Room support for a figure.

As far as I know:  1) Antonia is not currently Face Room-compatible.  2) Third parties have created data files in the past to make more items Face-Room compatible.

Quote - Sweet. That's one part of the face I've so far struggled with morphing in Argile. Thanks, Les!

I've been trying to put real faces on Poser figures.  Argile, Face Shop, Face Room . . . . I just can't manage it.

Quote - Thalek: Go figure. Your thought about the iris texture had occurred to me earlier but I had dismissed it. But your comment prompted me to see what would happen if I expanded the iris (gave it a different colour map from the rest of the eye parts). And the white circle around the edge seems to have disappeared.

Still doesn't make total sense to me, since in theory the way Antonia's eye UVs are laid out, I would have thought I'd see sclera there, not just blank white. But the main thing is that it seems to be working now.

Glad to have been of assistance, even accidentally.

I'm too tired to understand rjjack's explanation, so I'll read it again tomorrow.  But aren't over-lapping material zones frowned upon?

Iris texture too small?  Transparency map too big?  Different-scaled images?
