I agree completely with lesbentley. On some of his comments I would suggest to try Posette 2003 by Jim Burton. Better model and better joints still acepting all of Posettes morphs and textures. I even agree on the small breast part. And Please, put them in the right place. Most of the time they are too high on the chest or just looking (upturned)skyhigh. In my book, gravity goes down. But with nice small breast, even that would not be a problem. Ah, yeah, while you are at it; Posettes knees are too low on the legs too. Overall ; keep the polycount down. My experience tells me that a realtively low res mesh with a good texture is more apreciated then the reserce. Greetings, and good luck, Tony

Try this, inport the hair. Put it on Mikes head using the X-Y-Z dials until tou are satisfied. Use magnets or scaling until it fits perfectly. Then goto object, change parent , in the hyrarchie select Mikes head and vink the inherint bends of parent. That should do it. Tony

Try Anim8or, a free simple 3d modeler. www.anim8or.com good manual, and a lot of tutorials on different sites. Check the links? i use it all the time. Mostly to make my morphs. hope this helps, Tony

What do You want? U want all people to use her? Or just those few, that (by accident) or at their work, have the hardware to cope with her? Posette was quite well but needs some figure adjustments like the knees that are too low on the legs. The breast don't have the right shape.. etc.. ALL figures, and I mean ALL figures have problems when bending the thights to 90 to silmulate a sitting position. In my humble opinion Posette 2003 from Jim Burton is by far the best. Why? Good legs, better breast, better joints, and most and by far THE single most important thing : It is NOT that big. Most of V3's problems come from its size. The obj is 3.9 or something and the cr2 can go to 120MB. Unmanagable and becomes useless. Don't even try to put more than one in one scene, without THE super-turbo machine, put dynamic hair and clothes on, take the rest of the year off and pray against power interupts. Make a realistic obj, make the grouping like POSETTE, NOT like Eve or Judy, to name a few. Always remember. There is a lot of stuff for Posette for free. Most of V's stuff has to be payd for. It depends on what you want. PS; Judy has a butt problem and a major problem between the collars and the upper arms. Ah, yeah, almost forgot ; ONE map, 1. Head and body on one map. Hope this helps, Tony

You can mail it me too. I'll have a go at it when i get home in two hrs, with feedback of course. tony.vilters@pandora.be

Very impressive and great rendering. I am a Posette freack myself and also use Anim8or to create morphs. Its a great, free, easy, 3d modeler. Very nice, Tony

Got my mail today. (Belgium-Europe) Don't understand this policy. 2.1 is up and running for about a month now. Its about the same as telling your husband you are prengant after the child has been born already. I've posted in the past about open management and customer relations, and client friendly firms. 1. We pay you. We are your reason of existence. 2. All we want is a working product. 3. We do part of the testing, at your own demand, and give the feedback. 4. We don't want money. 5. We want a working soft. 6. And if this is not immediately possible? Well, we can live with that one. But let us know. Keep us informed. Dont let us in the dark. You must know by experience by now that this leads to speculations, and almost kost you your heads completely. Do not, I repeat, do not develop NEW items or plug -ins. Get the basic rooms to work first. Pose room is OK. Face room is a toy. More control points, better texture output. Work on the head of the loaded figure. If not by point control, then by magnet control. If I load Posette means that I want to work on Posettes head and not on Judys. (the same for the Vic's by the way.) A faceroom that puts magnets on and around a mesh would be a lot better in the end. Or, and this would be appreciated; dump and replace Judy. I kow no-one that uses her anymore. And , yes keep the mesh simple. Please. Not amll of us are living in the USA and working on super turbo PC's. Material room is exelent for profs, too complicated for beginners. Hair room , can be used with a lot of preactice. Results are good, no change needeed. Setup room : the interaction between the autogouping tool and the bone structure has to be improved. (can write a complete report on this one alone) Sorry, mail too late . You stepped on some toes. But glad that CL continues. Best of luck, Tony

Lets share our experiences. Welcome in this facinating world and many happy and productive hours to both. Best of luck and greetings from Belgium-Europe. Tony

Welcome to this passion. I'v been posing and playing since Poser2 was on some CD. Bought 3 and 4 and 5 as from release and "thank God" am one of the few without major problems with P5. It is a hell of a learning curve for a hobby. But if you stick to it the resulst are somethimes amazing. My spaciality; make acceptable things out of small things. I work a lot with Posette but actually have even more fun trying to get results out of the P4-Lo people. Magnets all over the place to get them to look and function like real people. Never bought any V and probably never will. I don't have the use form them. They are great fior detailed work but very hungry. (eat Ram for breakfest and CPU's for diner) You will not find any work from me yet as I am only recently on the net and still searching for ideas for a page. Have fun, enjoy, create, thats what it all about. welcome, Tony

It can be done on any figure, prop or group in the hair room in P5. But, it eats your resoures !! But for a beard about 250 hairs would do it. Tony

Try to apply the face morph. Then apply the smile morph, and put the face morph at -1. To make "new" morphs, always start from the "default" face/figure. Hope this helps, Tony

4k textures? Dld lower res textures and resize till 4k; then sharpen to get out of the softening during resize. Or, build them. I mostly start making a map with uvmapper of 4K and then filling it up. There have been some very good tutorials to do this. Even a P4-lo figure does look relatively pretty this way. Tony
