Something like this, Or this? Nudity Advise on those images.  Do you want it straight, slight curl, with bangs, without bangs?  I could probably make one for ya, as long as you don't need it right away.

There is also something in the marketplace I just saw, called Dynamic Cloth Hair, though that might be a bit long for your needs.

I'm not sure marketplace wise.  There are some freebies here, in the free stuff section I think.  I mainly make my own.  What style/length are you looking for?

Well, you know what I want...Wax.  Hehe.  Other ideas for materials would be things like thick liquid types. Like jelly, foam, slime, glue, etc.  Viscous liquids would work well with this type of script imho.

I actually see that V4-WM is being used quite a lot around the various galleries I frequent.  Most don't publicize it though.  But it's pretty easy to spot in some renders.  

I use her exclusively now, and am making some hi-rez/hi-density dynamic hair styles that I was hoping might draw some attention to her if peeps over at Poser Place have an interest.  they will be usable on V4 just the same, but I figure promoting it for the WM version and stating that it is 'compatable' with standard would work well.  ;)

Shvrdavid made some nice Skull caps for V4, and am having a blast with them so far.  Hoping to have the first hair done this week.

That being said, I love it still and am quite pleased with some of the results I've gotten.

About 3 hours of fiddling, and I got the hair to 'fall' into the cleavage.  ;)

By the way, William, I'd love to have some fun with your hair piece.  Wink, Wink.  ;)  Hehe

BB,

Well, in all honest, you have to consider the site.  Lol.  Sorry, but they are entirely 'self' promotional, and your advise can't directly be applied to DS.  Also, anyone like myself who used to upload there, can attest to their gradual decline in not only gallery, but also forum use unless it's DS specific.  Sad, really, as it was a great resource for many years.   Maybe it has picked back up in the last few years after I left, I dunno.

As for YOUR info that most of us appreciate, we know to check your hotspots.  Here and RDNA.

BTW, your 'cloud', or material pack needs to develop soon.  We are waiting patiently, and eager!  Hehe.  ;)  All I can say is, YUM!  Can't wait.

Quote - I write tutorials so as not to appear to be criticizing an individual.

I still get complaints. Some people can't even take implied criticism that their approach is less than it should be to various things.

BB,

I'm sorry, but anyone who criticizes you (which your responses are 99% shader/lighting/technical related) have no idea what you have proven, time and time again, on your ability for understanding and implimenting real things and solutions for Poser artists.  You have single handedly been someone that is relied upon for understanding the inner workings of Poser and it's material room and lighting.

I for one, would be honored to have my work critiqued in a technical aspect that you can do.  Some of us, like myself, are just winging it and trying to learn on the fly.

Meh, I tend to agree with almost everyone here, in one way or another.  There is always going to be a valid point or reason why or why not the gallery is the way it is.  For me, I see both sides, as stated.  Human nature is finicky.  One one hand we have the door holders that do it because it's in there nature, expect nothing in return, and will do it again.  Then we have the ones who hold the door expecting a thank you and might NOT hold a door the next time they have that chance after being 'put off' from the last time.  It's just the way we are.

The 'hug club' as it seems to be refered to, are as stated previously, more of a 'social' type group.  Naturally they will get more of the responses and hit the front page.  That's just how it goes.  The problem, is when an individual will actually confront you (you're not in the hug club) and blame you or ask if YOU were the one that gave them a 'low' rating etc. as it might hurt their chances of getting on the front page (even if it wasn't actually you).  Then start PM'ing people such and such 'did this', or is a warez freek, etc.  THAT, to ME, is when it has gone way beyond acceptable, and hit's back to people purposely intigrating themselves IN a 'hug club' just to stroke their own ego for whatever reason and not really being a friendly hobbiest/social artist.

I myself don't expect a lot of vocal followers, but the ones I do get I cherish.  I do mainly Pin-up styles or sometimes just plain odd stuff, so I expect my art is just more of the 'same stuff' already in abundance out there.  So when a few people decide to leave a comment, I take it as I might have done something to make it stand out.

I don't know.  I'm not very vocal myself, and find it hard to articulate on someones image what I feel in my feeble brain.  So a lot of times I just don't say anything.  Good or bad.  Especially don't leave many critiques, as I am hardly qualified to do so.

That's great!  But at the same time, if there IS something that just isn't clicking ask away.  If you're like me, then you might be more comfortable asking in a PM.  That's what I usually do.

Quote - I wanted to add that art is very subjective and a unique experience.  No matter who the artist is, or what piece of work they have on display (painting, sculpture, etc etc), it provokes an emotion in everyone viewing it.

Sadness, happiness, laughter, confusion, anger, uneasiness etc etc etc.

If the artist can create an emotion in someone, even if that emotion is confusion or anger or leaves them shaking their head wondering what the artist was thinking, then I'd say the artist did their job!

Amen to that!  Well said, indeed.  I myself don't expect a lot of vocal followers, but the ones I do get I cherish.  I do mainly Pin-up styles or sometimes just plain odd stuff, so I expect my art is just more of the 'same stuff' already in abundance out there.  So when a few people decide to leave a comment, I take it as I might have done something to make it stand out.

P.S.  Wonderful gallery, btw, Acadia.

Yes, refitting means scaling, and it will work in Poser 8.  It doen't HAVE to be perfect, just close enough.

I know it feels like everytime you start to figure something out, something sets you back, but really all this knowledge is accumulative.  Best advise is to take baby steps and learn incrementally.  That way you won't get overwhelmed and discouraged.  Stick with it.  It can produce results that make your jaw drop.

Keep playing and learning.  When you have a question, never be affraid to ask.

If the staff is a prop, it needs to be parented by "Object" -> "Change Parent".  Fair warning, it might move on you, and it's a pain to get it back where your posed hand is.  In instances like those, it's best to parent things in the default pose, fine tune it (possition it), so it then moves with your new pose already parented.  That's what I do at least.  There might be an easier way though.

Anytime.  Any more questions, feel free to ask!  I'll always help where I can and if I might know something.

Note:  I should probably start replying more here on the forums.  I'm here everyday reading, but rarely post anything.  It can be hard for me to articulate what's in my head, so a lot of times I just wuss out.  Maybe it's the 'public' thing.  I don't seem to have that issue with pm's.  lol
