there are mens ties in the DAZ 3Piece Suit sets and also in some of the Uzilite mens clothing sets I believe. There are some other freebie ties out there including ISOP's Casablanca suit, with some cool textures too. PoserWorld also had a tie in their wizards clothing set, as well as some ties in the uniform sets from MalePoser. My site MalePoserotica also lists as many things I can find for the male figures in Poser and DAZ Studio. It is a pure male support site for Poser male figures. I try to keep it up to date on a regular basis. Greetings, Antonio

Wow, I am amazed that you folks don't know Jepe's 7 MovieMen packs... actually 8 if you count the Orlando Bloom (Sebastian) Movie Men 2.5 release. Vin Diestel, Brad Pitt, Orlando Bloom, Leo DiCaprio, and Hayden Christensen was part of Jepe's Dick for ApolloMax. If you want to know more about male figures you could check out my site maleposerotica, as I list as many products for the male figures which are out there, including products on Renderosity and DAZ and RDNA etc... When people put out cool stuff for the male figures, be it M3, Freak, David, Luke, Hiro James, Koji or ApolloMax, I try to be up-to-date. Jepe finished his MovieMen series when he got tired of making high-quality products and no one bought them because lesser quality items were priced cheaper and outsold his sets. Mostly because he had 3 characters, with 3 completely different body textures with different levels of body hairiness and then some fabulous eyes with each set, and lighting and poses thrown in for good measure. His textures are close to perfect and the faces are very realistic to the original celebs. His last pack was a black male pack, including Denzel Washington, Will Smith and Wesley Snipes (including the Tattoos from Blade). He even created the main characters from Smallville just for me, and released it as Jepe's Movie Crew, with Clark, Lex and Lana for S3. Just go to the Marketplace and look up the vendor name JPeter.... Gwendolyn's stuff was removed from the Renderosity store for some reason, not sure why, but someone said she took them over to DAZ as originals. Not sure if that is true or not. Anyhow, I'm going to be releasing a complete set of morphs based on the Harry Potter films, however, I won't be selling them, I will be giving them out as freebies. Greetings, Antonio

The best way to overcome this, is to go into the material room and set the TRANSPARENCY value to 0, (its usually on 1 if you cannot see the gens). Then remember to turn the Transparency back to 1 before you render, otherwise there will be a visible line between the gens and the body when you've rendered. The transparency value is applied so that the body hair on the gens and the body texture can seamlessly meld together. It was common practice for gens in Poser and DAZ Studio in the P4 world. If you need more help dealing with gens, simply visit maleposerotica and ask questions in our forum on gens. There you can safely ask questions dealing with sensitive issues regarding gens.

You never post on my site anymore (maleposerotica) although you have your own (albeit empty) forum there... I was wondering if there was any news on ApolloMax anymore, since it was so quiet out there. There is a female Maxima figure in planning? thats interesting news. Greetings, Antonio

One of the producers of great male textures and morphs JPeter (Jepe) recently decided due to the flood of crappy textures out there for less that $5.00 all using the same 3dsk skin textures or the same merchant packs, which managed to somehow get around the testing process, with stretched skin, blotchy renders or just plain awful templates, which seem to be selling like hotcakes. I assume you all know JPeter (Jepe) who created the hairy suits for David and all the MovieMen series with 3 characters each and 3 body types without hair, with medium hairiness and with fully hairy textures, and eyes. If you see the quality of what he delivers for 2 dollars more around ($7) you get quality bang for the buck and oddly -- his quality stuff doesn't seem to sell like the crap stuff does. Jepe recently announced that he would quit making textures entirely and leave it up to the folks who produce 4 products a week, (how they manage that I seriously don't know) and let the folks out there figure out how to make decent hairy textures themselves. I find it sad that one of my idols in the world of Poser has been forced to realize that quality work will make you go bankrupt. And that shoddy work will make you rich. -- How sad. Antonio

considering there isnt a texture map for creating new skin textures or hairy textures for james, and the ones that you manage to pull out for him are so complex, its gonna be hard to make a James hairy... The king of the hairy men JEPE has just recently decided to quit doing hairy textures for any of the Poser figures, so I wish you luck with making a Hairy Burt Reynolds type out of James. Greets, Antonio

The textures look like ones done by RichardT, I'd check with him on where it was from. Greetings, Antonio

why not just write JPeter on here and ask him? he's usually quick to help everyone! Just a thought... I believe that Henry for M3 was originally a Poser with Propack product. He is currently updating his products to keep up with the times, and Poser 6. Just write him a message on here, he checks every day as it is. Greetings, Antonio

Isnt this the same figure they are talking about in the Teri Yaki thread??? with a million messages in it?

My intent is to find people interested in modeling cool stuff for Wizarding, so that before the release of the film we could do some cool promo artwork and challenges. I don't want to get into a copyright argument here. Sorry... Greetings from Germany Antonio

Ok, heres a small bit of help... A figure: also known as mesh, a cr2, is the basis of what you are using in poser to present say, a human. A morph: changes to the figure done by modifying internal settings for the body, such as arms, legs, chest, muscularity, etc. For example: you have a male figure, and he initially has a standard group of settings which make up his appearance. You want to change his appearance to be more muscular. You must change the setting in the figure called "Muscular" or "Muscular2" so that the figure becomes more muscular. ....Morphing Dials.... in Poser there are Parameter Dials which are used to Morph the figure. Using my above example, to up the muscularity in a male figure (or female) you select the "Muscularity" dial and change the value from 0 to 1 and the figure will bulk up. Dials normally react from either -1 to 1 with 0 being the default (mostly). Does that help you figure out what a morph is?
