Well, here's what I got, using both textures. The only thing I can't figure out is the fringe on the arm. It seems to have a mind of it's own. I rescaled both dress and belt to closer fit my thinner model.

Thanks for responding to my query, Raven!

It might. The catch is, while I need scrolls, I need, well, a library full of them.  I see an egyptian goddess of writing surrounded by them. I'm not quite sure what an ancient egyptian library would look like, and I'm fairly sure Zahi Hawass isn't going to answer any questions I ask him, so I'm going to have to wing it. I adn't thought about a single scroll, but it might work. I saw one somewhere that had hieroglyphs on it already. Hmm...

Here's my first go around with her, as promised. And BR? No worries on the wait; at the moment, I've nothing but time.

My apologies for the image size. I shrunk it to 1024 x 576. The original is at 1920 x 1080.

Holy crap BR! That is very awesome of you, thank you!

When I get the final render done, I'll either drop it here or in the gallery. I just did one with another dress while I was waiting and now I'm tweaking the background.

Very cool of you!

Lol, isn't that the truth! Same with this one. I knew I had the egyptian temple and a few other goodies, just couldn't find it in right away in all the backups.

And thank you for your wishes. I know what I want to do is going to take a while. I already know it's going to take some layer work in Photoshop. No worries tho.

Best tip I ever got about Poser was from here. It seemed to me like the dumbest question, but it was answered in about a half hour or so and it's made my life a heck of a lot easier knowing it. So yeah, the crowd here at Renderosity rocks!

I should be able to without much trouble. My model's body is a standard V4 using the Elite morphs to make her a little thinner overall. No strange Borg morphs or anything this time! ;)

Thank you, BionicRooster, that is very cool of you to give it a whirl!

Hi Rance01! I thank you for your thought on the Seshat's outfit.

I got the texture you suggested, just in case. I don't mind applying that to a suitable dress; I was just trying to save some time.

I went looking over at Daz and saw Delta Sun. Looking around a little more, I also another set that I can use. Pharaohs of the Sun for V4 by AS3Design, together with Children of Aten by LaurieS. The only thing I saw with Delta Sun is I'd either have to convert it, or use A3 instead of V4.

Good idea on the texture. I'll play around with it and see what comes up. Thanks bunches!

Yeah, now I feel totally humbled!

Thank you, Dr. Geep, for pointing out something that should have been so obvious. Might be time for me to renew the mental batteries. Guess I'm stocking up on Mountain Dew again!

Thank you for your response. This worked, of course, and will help me do things a lot quicker now!

Many thanks,
mike
