Yeah waaaaaaay too high poly count...  saw a "making of" vid from Call of Duty 4 yesterday and the models were more than half less poly count as one of the RR unimesh figures!!  However the use of normal maps made all the difference!!  The meshes (including their backpacks, pockets etc) were all smooth and looked ridiculously low end UNTIL the normal maps were applied and holy fricken' cow did they look good!!!  Found myself immersed for a few hours playing the single player campaign and only really got through the first 2 missions last night!!  I'd imagine on most generic 3d engines available for cheap licensing that even a P4 Dork would make it choke!  Way back in tha day I managed to convert a P4 woman and Dork to import int the Quake 3 Arena engine and basically it was a slideshow and even when trying prerendered backgrounds with the converted poser meshes it was still way too slow and at that time my pc was pretty uber smoking hot powerful!!  FYI...  was just a test to see if possible and the converted meshes were soon deleted and never tried again!!!  Check out Mass Effect for the 360...  the cliips you'll see on the net of it are all realtime and the characters (main male and female) look better than the unimesh and all look like high end uzilite clothes etc and it's all realtime normal map goodness!!!

It does totally help...  one thing I found is "THINK DUMB" when you're typing it...  the sound file says: "What are you doing?" I would type: "whut arr yoo dooing?"  remember to type the sounds not the real words as they're really spelt as it helps Mimic to better match the mouth shapes to the sounds!!

Hope this helps Tebop... your project is "sounding" pretty interesting!!

Gerard

Are you including phoenetical text of the spoken dialogue as well because that along with the audio helps Mimic to better sync up the phonemes to the audio???  If not try it!

Gerard

Have to agree with Penguinisto there!!!  Bettie inspired 99.9% of all the hot goth/fetish babes in the last few decades!!!  (Well along with Morticia Addams!!) Mmmmmm...   Goth babes!!!!

Gerard

I did that too and I got "Starlette" for V4.....  so my previous post still stands!!!

Gerard

YEAH!!!!!!  That's the one Acadia!!!!!  You so totally ROCK at finding Poser stuff!!!

Gerard

The 3d Celebrity "Star" for V3 was a fantastic Marily Monroe look alike!!  The one Acadia linked to looks a little too rough to be MM in opinion...  Sorry Acadia!!!  I'm not sure if "Star" is still available but definately worth looking for!!!

Gerard

Ouch storm!!!!!!   LOLZ!!  Art is so darned subjective that somebody's render with V3 with default face and in the "zeroed" arms outstretched position could be as good as Van Gogh's Starry Night over the Rhone to them...  I mean my gallery is not at all indicative of what I use poser for...  my gallery here is a self indulgent piece of poo!!  Subject matter is totally sexist but I like to think I light well!!  LOLZ!!!  Point is the statements you and Paloth are unfair...  and any noobs that may read this may get totally turned off of the community here and folks could start thinking that Renderosity is just as bad as the elitist high end users at CGSociety etc....  Maybe I'm being over sensitive...  probably am...  tired too!!

Gerard

Quote - 80% of Poser art is hideous beyond belief. A bad reputation follows. This is a side effect of giving the "power of art" to the masses.

"obj" file format came from Alias Wavefronts Power Animator wayyyyyyyy back when...  well before Maya.

Nice pakled!!!  A fine performance in "Lateral Thinking Theatre"!!!

"Faster Pussycat" was a band from the 80's...  First hit was "Don't change that song"

"Faster Pussycat Kill Kill" was a movie...  Directed by Large Breast Afficianado Russ Meyer....

I figured after the Lateral Thinking Theatre episode we needed a "Yet another useless fact from the past" episode!!  HEH!

Gerard

Don' Fear the Reaper is still a favorite for me!!!  It went well with the cheezy goth stuff I was getting into in the mid to late 80's!!  It was cool when "Electric" came out cuz it brought the metal heads and alternative rock/goths together and then the common enemy (in highschool) was the redneck country music fans!!  HAHAHAHAHA!!!  Too funny thinking about all the stupidity involved in highschool cliques!!! 

Hope ya have a blast at The Cult P.A.!!!!!!!!

Gerard

RATZ!!  Just checked their website and no Canadian dates on their current tour!!  Booooo!!!!

Thanks Karen...  now I can't get She sells sanctuary out of my head!!!  Love was such a good album!!!  I remember buying it on vinyl and cassette!!  Think that would have been '85!!  Wow...  I listened to Love, Depeche Mode's Black Celebration and The Cure's Standing on the beach non stop that year!!  That was cool cuz '84 kinda sucked with WHAM! and Frankie goes to Hollywood dominating the airwaves!!  LOL!  Funny thing in '84 (grade 8) I had bad frosted WHAM! hair and the stooopid RELAX & Choose Life t-shirts!!!  Was happy to get out of that phase!!

Gerard

Coolness!!  Last time I saw them was 1989!!  I was 18 and man was it ever a loud show!!

Going to The Cure when they hit Vancouver in the Spring time!!!  That's gonna be a good show!!  I didn't realize that The Cult were still together!!
