there are few textures because there are few (yet impressive) clothes and she is a "young" character regarding poserlife. Avalontree has three, and i saw a wip around here on one of the dress of basic clothing pack from maya. Also if you need swimsuits, i already done a few, and i am working on more as well as a bunch of textures for other clothes. Anyway you still can achieve very cool effects without any textures, using existing cloth and playing with highlight color and amount, as well as bump and reflection maps If you are really in need i can advice you to go to www.paurex.com (there is a seamless free basic texture editor as well as a commercial one) afaic, i cannot work much nowadays (storms and some very hot waters both prevent me to use the computer very often, especially when outside T is above cpu inner one :)

koshini and her male counter part ishiro are very popular Aside from that there is the Yuka and Mayu modification (available for p4, v2 and eve at least) from playwithposer anyway you can also try some of the toon render tutorials around here and use any character you want, maybe working them with morphs to toonize them (super deformed head, exaggerated proportions, etc)

Look at the sketch editor (same menu as hiearchy tool) there are several presets, or you an gather presets at other websites (poserstyle has a handful of free presets for sketch rendering). You can also try out yourself to tune all those parameters and dial to achiece the result you want, and abotu color, there is an option (checkbox) about "colored stroke", maybe it is what you need. Another technic is to use a black n white sketch preset (better used crayonne 2 or some of poserstyle website) and also render your image in ztoon textured, classic textured or smooth shaded (default poser mode), then use a paint software to postwork the whole bunch of files and compositing it into a picture. before you ask: there is a trick to render VERY LARGE images above the classical limit of poser, as well as render imag susing a display mode (such as cartoon with line, smooth shaded) or sketch: use animation setup to bring down frame numbers to 1, and the size of frames to whatever you need (beware the ratio) then do as if you were computing a whole animation but use the "image file" instead of animation, and check you use a display mode, a render mode or a sketch mode. hope it helps

one thing i agree is that renderosity definitly would ened a more accurate/advanced search tool both for commercial and free stuff... but that also imply reediting all the free and commercial contributions to add the required database parameters :( often i look for something with a key word and it give me out totally irrelevant things, but not an item with that keyword exactly :(

I do not have webstorage host (last free host on which i dared try the sligthest attempt of file storage burned my whole site) but I went to my friend's place myself, usb stick in hand, to test it myself on his propack... i have a rendered raw picture but cannot post it here :( anyway i saw it work. But i admit: there is a problem with the thumbnails in the actual package, but i do not see why (maybe that there are both .png and .rsr in the archvie and poser5 got mad at this :) tell me if you manage to get it work on a propack yourself

well i am afraid my knowledge of poser is limited and i cannot help you to solve this :( I intensively make them tested on a poser propack, without trouble. Poser 5 seems to be lmuch more complex and less tolerant. for the bad preview thumbnails it seems either my png or my rsr are corrupted in the present package (though i used p3do wuith plugin) but you can delete one kind (i thing deleting png will work better) and "voila" :( sorry not to be able to help you more :( i still am interested into any feedback and "poser guru" advice and opinion on this...

Hmm i asked my friend to download again the package, delete the old one i brought at his place (beta), and install this one instead. He told me the preview thumbs were corrupted and blurred, but in fact, deleting either the .png files or the .rsr ones solved this problem.. after that he rendered a simple shot of V3 with them... seems no problem on Propack but as i do not know anyone with poser5 i cannot help you more :(

Hmm it is strange.. I tested them on a friend's Poser4+propack. Of course a model such as Vicky 3 took ages to render on hi machine and Poser4 but it worked. Also there are not many changes/difference between th V3 version and the other character versions (only the texture directory and the material call changes in pz2 files) So i dont see what happens to you yet.. but i'll try to look for it. Also you ae the first one to complain.. so either you are unlucky and there is something wrong, or most people who got it were too shy to tell me about it too :( For what i see in teh package, the folders are in the correct hierarchy.. Did you try to manually open/apply the texture to both v3 eyes materials ? Also the textures are very highres, and maybe it is because of that. try to resize by half one texture and try to apply it manually and keep me informed, while i make investigations msyelf. thanx for report ! '(next time send me an instant message on renderosity, i do not often remember to check forums)

that rise an important question i often asked myself: what is the point/edge between items worth selling and item that only worth being freebies ? I mean 1st of course art is subjective in a way, but what do people expect to find in commercial packages/items and what are they indulgent of for freebies ? Sometimes i see freestuff (mostly on japanese websites) that can easily match many sold items here. Also i see peopel with marvelous freebies, so do they have to even make better that good items to allow themselves sellign them ? also someone told about the bandwidth usage and such. I was dumped thrice in a month by "free" webhosts, and believe me, finding a 100mb (least) capacity, withotu add (or at least popup), and unlimited file size (freebies can go above the 1 or 2mb limit most hosts allow for free) and month bandwidth. Well finding such a gem was an heroic task ! After that point the least expensive hosting solutions with unlimited bp and file size limit are somehow above 15$ a month... personnaly i only make freebies cause i ma a beginner and i do not see myself worthy enough yet when i saw many wuality freebies and products here, so i have to learn and i do not rush.. But of course would i be forced to PAY to offer people freebies, i sure would give up at once ! I think it is a legitimate attitude: offerin free stuff for free, but offerign freestuff at oneself's expense, i dont think it is fair

but how abotu poser4 ? i too tried to make ghosts, with some success so far but i would like to be told any other methods...

..impressive.. I knew v3 had masculinizing morphs, but given the design of Maya i never thought it was possible. yet you even managed to give him the look of all those so popular somehow feminized japanese rock singers all girls like out there... it is really great, also Maya was lacking a friend, as victoria has mike, judy ha don, and so on. What a great work ! btw how about clothes.. mayadoll yet have a small amount for her, but most are rather womanly clothes, except for jeans, tshirt, and vest.. Maybe the RQrie chaps can work on a guy too. How/what clothes are usable on "him" ? btw it is too great/stunning a new to keep it untold.. i guess i'll report to maya about it (if you did not do it yet)

yes he does really stunning work, it can some/most match commercial items without hesitation... and as he is popular many peopel use his hairs and makes textures and morphs for. for me, regarding freebies, the person that is second to none but koz is maya

i sure wil get flame but neither laroo nor koshini wins my attention. koshini is an interesting work, for sure, but really much too cartoon and deformed... yet it can suits many uses. Laroo is a v3like wanabee with exxagerated eyes and (personnal opinion) a strange face shape. I had already been enough into japanese animation, mangas and japanese poser websites since very long, and, according to my customs and what i see usually and like to see, both these products are really not interesting. a good attempt though is the Yuka character from playwithposer, it is much in the spirit of anime. I never tried aiko, it seemed cool to me from what i saw. Now i think tat with a bit imagination and work, even Mayadoll can really outmatch Laroo in her own field and intent. only koshini has a legitimate/credible purpose and use, but nothing to do wth eastern anime. For laroo, i was very disapointed from what i saw on RDNA themselves or on other works. I hope someone can show me another facet of laroo that could convince me sorry for criticism but when talking about anime i am not ready to accept (or even pay) for the first self laelled product that "claims" anime legacy !

yeeeesss.. i was just looking for a better saber for a charater of mine.. thanx a lot.. where can i get it ?

Sorry but i once checked the "notice by email for reply" on this thread, but now i woudl rather stop gettign notices.. how can i do that ?
