Cool... so can these adjustments be done in poser itself or would you have to bring it into Max?

Thanks,

Hey,

Well, I'd like to say thanks to everybody for helping me out and putting up with my dumb questions. :) My search is almost complete.

I have one final question for you guys, if you have the time. I've been looking at "Utilize" clothing (thanks to SamTherapy) and a lot of those costumes will definitely fit the bill. Some really lovely stuff there.

So if I bought "X costume" (for a male) can I use that on any poser male model through the wardrobe wizard? Or do I need the exact model it would be specified to use with that clothing (if the clothing said it was for "Micheal 4" as an example).

Thanks!

R.

Cool man, I'll have a look at those.

Thanks for helping me out.

Hi Vilters,

Thanks for the reply. :)

To be honest, I wont be animating the figures, so it would be a one frame picture - prolly with some dynamic poses in there (pardon the pun) :). I have a semi-decent pc and I'm not in a massive hurry, so time is not a factor per se.

As regards needs, it seems that, from what people have said here anyway. The "figure" side of things seems to be fine, and I've no problem with non-organic props in max.

So the final piece of the puzzle is if I can find suitable clothing (or near as). For example some of the characters will definitely have "biker style" leather jackets, and long Victorian long coats (think Jack the Ripper). Plus, I'll need a Mohawk hairstyle. Now, there's not way I can make a leather jacket in max, it's way beyond my skill set (damn nurbs!). So if I can buy those props somewhere then all is well. :)

Thanks,

R.

Hey Guys,

Thanks again for helping me out. That W. Wizard sounds cool! :)

Okay, so it looks like I can tweak the characters to suit alright. Sorry for all the noob questions. It's just I'm scared of blowing the cash and finding out that it can't do what I need it to. But it looks like it's going to fit. :)

So now the clothing and props seem to be the next issue. I'm okay at modeling stuff like guns + knives in max (basically anything non-organic). But clothing seems to be a bit more problematic now. Is it possible to buy leather jackets/Bike boots and the like for poser? Also, Victorian stovepipe hats and overcoats, etc. I'll be working on some Victorian material next, a la "League of Extra Ordinary Gentlemen".

Thanks again,

R.

Hi guys,

Thanks for the feedback. Sorry, if I've said anything to offend.

Yes, I downloaded Daz already.  It seems okay, but then you have to buy loads and loads of stuff from what I've seen. I've used 3ds Max a wee bit in the past so I understand there is a learning curve with Poser.

But as I'd like to use it for a few of my projects and I'd be happy to buy it if I'll be able to have that customization for the characters I require. Again, I apologize for my ignorance, but I didn't find their main site all that helpful. They didn't mention all that much about character creation and customization. So voila! I came here. :)

Thanks again,

Rob.
