Thanks for the great response. I think the price will be pretty fair (maybe $25-$30 per a set of two) but I still have to talk with the gent whose Poserizing them for me, I really trust his judgement. Silvermermaid- I usually start off with a hand drawing (or set of hand drawings) that I scan in to my PC. Then I use the image as a background in Rhino to make my model over. Sometimes the sketch calls for something that just isn't practical, so I have to be able and willing to make changes on the fly. I try not to just start Rhino and model without a sketch because it's easy to end up with a big mess. :> AprilYSH- Most of the characters I've made are littered throughout the different Free Stuff Sections here at Renderosity and are available for you to do with as you like. I have a bunch of StarWars related creatures I made that I plan to poserize when I get P4 and of course those will be free also. As requested, my next few posts will be of some creatures already available or that are WIP's and some toons I will realease once I have PPP and P4.

Thanks. Really. Now I'll go and finish up the models, send them off to my good buddy and discuss pricing with him after they're all posered up. That's a word, right? Posered? :>

That's two! I'm glad to hear this, after the slow downloads of the Hopper model I made for the Lightwave Free stuff, I was begining to think I was heading down the wrong track. Especially seeing as how all my models are a bit odd like this. :>

Thanks. I was thinking of doing a series of two creature sets. As for pricing, I still haven't figured that out as I'm waiting to hear the general feeling on the matter. Still, this makes me feel good...at least someone likes the idea. :>

Guess you guys are having more Ebot probs, just wanted to say I hope you get it working and if there's anything I can do or can ask the folks in the Rhino Forum to do, let me know. Let me take this time to say how much I love the idea of a Work In Progress gallery. That way, only our finished (and thus best) work can be see in the main program gallery. Very smart idea and kudos to whoever thought that one up. Anywho, take care.

I think it's cute. It probably swims using a lot of body motion...probably flinging itself from side to side (there's some sea creatures that do this). Very cool. Going away again (let me know if this gets annoying).

Still cool. Can't wait to see what you do next.

Ahh. Then we agree. Glad to hear it. :> (I just hope it doesn't suck)

Corblet, like I said, the story in FF may be its downfall. The soul stealing aliens seen in the previews are intriguing but may not be enough to entice the average person and thier family to go see it. That's where Shrek really wins out, you see. Being adapted from a children's book and incorporating puns that stayed within the context of the setting while being comical for adults and children, were perhaps the films greatest achievments. They also had little to prove. Most folks hadn't heard of Shrek before the film, so they approached it with easy eyes. After all the TV (and big screen!) hype over Final Fantasy 7, many people, both in and out of the videogame loop have some notion that the FF movie is based on a game. Consider the fact that FF7 the game made more money its first week than GI Jane (as reported in Next Gen), and you can appreciate how many people got into the hype. Some folks got a Playstation just for that. Then there was FF8, not as hyped as FF7 but still in the spotlight with the occasional movie like commercials and (just like FF7) big screen comercials. People know the name. They also don't expect much of it after seeing the horrors of a Batman4 or a Captain America. Heck, most people only want to see Tomb Raider because Miss Jolie is the star. So FF has an uphill battle to begin with in terms of proving its worth as a film through story. Shrek had no such short-comings. The point I seem to not be able to get across here, is that Shrek is a great movie and has a great story but as far as 3D went, it didn't reach the level of FF in terms of technical achievments. It's a toon afterall, and it is a bit unfair to compare but if we're gonna go "HOw'd they do that?!" at anything this year, it'll probably be FFTSW. The Donkey's hair? Seen Dinosaur? The grass clumping under Shrek's feet as he walked? Seen Dinosaur? Truth be told, there's not a thing in Shrek (on the technical point) that hasn't been done by Pixar (in the Geri's Game short) or the Dinosaur Staff. It's just more fun to watch. That's gonna be FF's doom....

That's true. My point still stands though, as technical achievments go, FF has Shrek beat. Now as far as story is concerened, William Steig's children's book was adapted perfectly to the screen, the characters were full with a life of thier own. It remains to be seen if Square can bring the quality of story found in their games to the big screen. This, above all else, could be its failing. There is also no doubt that Shrek is funnier than FF.

Compared to Final Fantasy: The Spirits within, Shrek is...cute. :> I loved the story when I used to read it to my cousins many years ago and I'm glad they made it into a film but the bar is about to be raised on 3D graphics by the fine folks at Squaresoft.

Well, really glad it got you excited enough to try it. I actually wasn't too happy with the my two legged guy and I've since redesigned him I'll be posting the new one soon. Again, great job...I really love the head and neck area...

Hi gang. Just being nosy. :P Ltist, I'm jealous. I never think of anything so cool and alien like, let alone model it with such skill. All the key parts have just the right details if you ask me (the head, horns, and feet). As a fellow future Poser owner, I look foward to whatever you port over. 'kay, I'm gonna go now. Bye.

Okay. Thanks.

Okay. Thanks.
