Quote - IBL is Image Based Lighting, available in Poser 6 and 7.

In the picture, you have the same model, with the same skin shader, in two different lighting environments. The IBL is from Danae's Manhattan package. Complex lighting system comes from Orion's London set.

Neither is better or worse, they're just different and used for different purposes.

Generally, in IBL good skin textures look better, but bad look terrible :)

Ariah do you do any commission work for character design as of now?
I got a good hang of poser but im afraid i can't do everything just yet regarding to character designing and lighting, and I am working on a comic but having lots of problems making each character look nice the way you do it. If you have any tips or tutorials you can throw my way or if you can offer some of your services if any, I'd be thankful.

Quote - > Quote - Just my luck though, when i really want to buy something they are no longer sold, Its rare to find a high quality prop or model that I like.

I contacted the original artist, Wish me luck lol

Are you referring to the Divine Hair? It's still available. I don't know how you get to the store link from the link given above in order to purchase it. But if you go to the main store link and search "FK Designs" or "Divine" you will find it.

Ahh I see it now, thanks alot.

Question for vincebagna That character silo that you made, do you know of any place that can show me how to get it to look like that? either that if you do some commission work on character design, we can talk.

Quote - enigmafox - In the pic you posted i used Twelfie hair from SWAM and Zachrael2002. For the Hiro character, i used Stratus McLeod textures from Thorne and Sarsa at DAZ and a custom face morph through the inbuilt dials settings.
For the body, it's just the settings as following:

• Realistic 1
• Muscular 0.6
• Stylized 1 (or Young 1)

Hope it helps :)

For the question about hair, if you mean by 'edit' to morph them, it depends it has morph or not. Or you can play with magnets. If it's to fit the hair object for another character, you could simply play with the X, Y and Z scale dials.

Awesome You created that? Thats cool, I need more of those type of costumes, actually some of us would love to have more magical girl related costumes at high quality.

When i mean edit i meant is if i added a prop but want to delete it, how would i go on doing that? I cannot delete it normally like a regular item like clothes and such

Also sorry for the questions where can i find a tiara like in this picture? I think its from jkdesigns but i cant find them anywhere.

Quote - Yes, that's purely Poser 7.Lighting is my pet-peeve, I spent most of my time setting it 'right'.

Usually one spot light and one infinite. IBL is my new toy, though it's troublesome.

What is this IBL i keep hearing about?

Sorry for all the questions lol, I am doing a comic and i want it to look nice.

But doing a 3d comic is so much different then doing a 2d one >.<

Quote - I, personally, fell in love with Terai Yuki. I think her face looks much better than Aiko's, especially for more 'adult-style' manga/anime characters.

And male? Well, I didn't find Hiro particularly fitting bishonen parts. I'm sticking with M3.

A general rule - don't try to use just one model for every single character. They are versatile, but not that much. Mixing and matching diffent models always worked fine for me.

Though. a good example of anime-style poser comic is Dragon Girl Noriko. Not mine, I'm not advertising ;) Look it up, it's really fun.

I really like how you did the picture, is that purely in Poser? Maybe its the lighting but i can never get my models to look like that

Quote - A quick list of links to really good anime things in the web:

seisui's download, great character for M3RR, plus nice looking haor and clothes.

Maya Studio, the Race Queen Rie's hair is the one I used on TY in the pic above.

The hair for H3 comes from a ranger pack for V4, at DAZ. It's not a freebe, unfortunatelly...

Thanks, I contacted the vendor once, no replies but I'll try again

Thanks I think thats just what i needed

Quote - beg and borrow etc if you can as I think this is the only place that has all these things that look so good at reasonable prices. Love esther

Just my luck I don't think i might make it till then :(
Oh well its ok, maybe my luck will change

Quote - IF you act quickly you can get all of the above at Lyne's site - Vista Internet Products http://www.vistainternetproducts.com/ But you'll have to hurry as her store is closing December 31st.

Ah darn, I won't have enough till then >.<

Quote - You can certainly use most commercially sold content for anything you want as long as its only images or animations. You might have a problem if it gets big in protecting your characters from being used in other works by other people . You might get some advice from a copyright and trademark lawyer on that issue .

My characters such as name and likeness?

Hmm I'll look around to see what my rights are.

thanks for the advice

Digital Art is not an Art? I never heard of that before, Art is art regardless of what tools are being used.

Digital Photography is Art, Photoshop Users are artists, 3D Modelers are artists.

They way that these people think astounds me, how can they call themselves true artists?

If that is the case its a good thing I didn't get WW yet
