OMG , PLEASE BRING BACK THE C & D FORUM ! what is the topic here ? oohh yea deleted forum posts due to lack of use of preview button. nice visual display. Sorry i am guilty for 1 deleted post , and i am very sorry about it. I am NOT even going near the pissy debate that has ensued. Get back to rendering : ) JWKub

Sorry i am not familliar with Paint Shop Pro. However I can tell you though the the higher the rez you wotrk in the more realistic brush strokes you can achieve with really fine brushes. I work in 4000x4000 and great results in Painter and Photoshop with base tool sets. I hope that helps a little. Happy Rendering, Jeff

Howdy me again, Glad yall like what yall see! in answer to yall's questions : 1. Release date is ... well I'am gunning for a mid february release. All textures are hi rez 4000x4000 and i am hoping to have at least six bodys for sure, four heads for sure perhaps more. 2.I have been feeding them only the finest organic foods and beverages ....all they can eat. hehe not all poser men can ripped and uber buff : ) 3. Different skin tones ! Well thats easy, they work well with different base underlying croams in moderation. African hair type is different in structure , and hispanice skin tones can be achieved but the body hair may not look right in all lighting situations. 4. My next project is the European ursus femailus. AKA large and in charge women who arent afraid to flaunt some masculine traits. LOL , just kidding ! shudders stay tuned for more of the finalists , and thank you all again! Happy Rendering, Jeff

Wow its Spectacular ! I too enjoyed watching its evolution. Its all grown up now and ready for the world. Id love to see a render in poser with it , and get a feel for its scale to the poser peeps. Happy rendering, Jeff

SWEET, looks really good. a larger image would be nice to get a better look. The sheets are just awesome. nice work. Happy rendering, Jeff

Congrats on getting Michael! Which tex maps did you get with him? ...well it shouldnt matter i guess. i got the hi rez ones. so it you have the hi rez ones then youll see a hi where there is __ in the file name. the M2BODYTR__.jpg is the trans map for the pubic region M2BODYM__.jpg is the hairless tex and M2BODYM2__.jpg In my brief work the textures from DAZ. it looks like the actual pubic hair is illustrated on the body map. and the pubic mat is for the trans map. so with the DAZ skins its hair or NO hair,all or nothing it seems. in the mike 2 tempaltes there are actually 2 extra pubic areas for painting hair and or trans maps. ive had mixed results in using theese applied to the mat. hope that helps. Happy Rendering, Jeff

Thank you for the neato lil easter egg info !! Can you say UBER flash back. I just about fell out of my chair : ) My 1st experence with poser was on a Power mac 9500. I took the day off to play with it. We sure have come along way havent we. Thanks, Jwff

They are sooooo cute ! totaly keepers , please dont trash them!I dont think they look "too" much like pooh at all . Great work. they are awsemoe. Happy rendering, Jeff

Thats comming along really nicely. The blue rugs are a nice touch. and the window and arch frames are looking good. The addition of raillings will really bring the room together. looking foward to the final!

WOW now that was groovie. very nice animation ! great work.

LMAO ! gasping for air Great work, Thank you !

There is a FAQ and "behind the sceenes" about the creation for Michael 2 on the DAZ site it explains the whole mike creation process.

Looking most excellent,in the very early stages you say? I think the faded apperance gives it a nice "real" touch. In the personal taste dept. id agree that its just a little too big on the back. great work , looking foward to seeing its further devlopment. Happy rendering, JWKub

LMAO , well its about time ! nice work. love the expression on his face , think he heeds a few more beers to loosen up. think a jock strap would be a good choice, perhaps a leather harness. Happy rendering, JWKub
