I'll second the motion! Need the Trench Coat for men, without the figure. I have Trench Coat man, but I don't wan the rest of what he's wearing, especially the sneakers. Just want the jacket from Jacket Man and the Trench Coat as conformable clothing.

Until very recently, I hardly ever rendered in Poser. I exported my models once posed to Bryce 3 because I prefer the appearance the materials in that program. Now one thing I've noticed when people do this, they don't smooth the model. They import the textures (or Bryce 4 demands that you do). But the Poser model looks a little blocky. If you smooth the figure it looks much better. Yes, all the peices come apart but that's better for using materials on all the parts. Its very tedious, I know, but I like the results. And with Bryce 4, once textured, the whole thing can be regrouped so it can be moved and positioned. I have some excellent skin materials made by my sister, Verdie, for just these types of exports. Believe it or not, wood materials work on hair. Since Bryce 3 and 4 are the only other products that I can afford at the moment, I can only comment on them. If anyone is interested in the skin materials, they can e-mail us.

I'm still new to this. Does this post or the previous one have a texture map? I'd like to make a black rose or a purple one. Do I just do that with the colors in the Render Materials or would I have to recolor the texture map?

That bug really ate this guy up!

Does anyone know where Phil has gone? He had simply wonderful stuff but I didn't get all of it because I only had P3. Two days before my P4 arrived in the mail, all his links went dead.

Better believe that I'll be there with bells on just after I post something to the forum! I would like to publically thank you for all your wonderful morphs, without them my 3D version of Vyper would never have become a reality. Please, if you read this, Trav, go look at the finished Vyper, here in the Forum but much lower on the list now. I'd like to have your opinion on him. Thanks again!

Vyper is modeled on the lead guitarist of the band Motely Crue. I have been a fan of theirs since 1983 and have a huge magazine clipping collection. The guitarist, Mick Mars, has worn both kinds of leather pants over the years. He prefers the looser one's with front and back pockets. In photos he usually has his hands in his pockets for lack of anything to do with them (some photographers won't let him smoke during a photo shoot). Now I have some pics from him on stange in 1989 when he was wearing leathers so skin tight he probably had to lay on a bed and use a hanger to pull the zipper up! Ah, but did he not look good in them!

Go look at my Vyper character. If you like the look of the pants just give me an e-mail at drmspinner@earthlink.net and I'll send you the texture that I used and the bump map that I made to go with it. And yes, folks, there are leather pants out there with front and back pockets on them. So if you want to smooth the pockets off, that's okay, but you really don't have to. Where's Poser dude going to keep his lighter, wallet, keys, ect.?

I believe that one was made by Nerd. If it's conforming clothing, a CR2, then it was definitely made by Nerd! Check out the rest of the chainmail costume! You'll like it.

It's very lovely! One question, where did you get the rose? I've found some roses on the net, but they aren't half as beautiful as that one!

Alas, there is a horrible lack of any kind of male clothing! I think there will continue to be a lack until we join forces and rise in one voice, supplicating to the Modeling Gods, saying "please, oh, please, give unto us male clothing!" Then maybe, just maybe we might get one pair of leather trousers (or maybe thigh high, stilleto heeled boots!). Until the Gods take pity upon us and look briefly away from their pretty Posettes, there is a practical way to get leather pants. Take the jeans and slap them on a poser dude, preferably one that's not a Dork. Go to Render materials and change the color from blue (blue jeans) to black. Make the highlight a charcoal grey or maybe a little lighter. Make the reflective color bright blue. Now this will give you pants that can pass as leather or as spandex. To get leather, you need to find a texture. No, no, my new friend, you don't have to jump into learning to make a whole texture map from scratch! One square of a texture will work just fine. Took me all day today to find that ideal little swacth of texture that would work. And low and behold, it turned out to be a texture that was blue! I'd been looking for one that was black! Silly me! If you get the blue texture (e-mail me and I'll send it to you) and put it on then change the color from completely black to a very dark charcoal. When rendered this produces what looks like brand new, off the rack leather pants. Voila! Look for my next post which will contain the main character from my vampire novel, Shadowclash--The Awakening, sporting is new leather pants.

Thanks for the hair texture! I'm always looking for hair textures!

To be truthful, I run the whole galaxy from Econoline Crush, way back to an old timer who probably started the glam/shock/theatrical rock, a guy named Arthur Brown. I particularly loved the 80's era stuff. But do listen to Hawkwynd, Bowie (Ziggy Stardust stuff), and some Pink Floyd. 80's Metal is my passion, but my mood changes at times. I like New Age music, particularly Kitaro. And there is a very special place in my heart for Billy Thorpe and his Children of the Sun series of recordings.

SWieg, dating yourself aren't you? To all others, METAL RULES THE LAND! WE HAVE A DUTY! (Direct quote from Manowar song!) I have some fonts that are based on Megadeath's logo. Think also some fonts based on Overkill's logo. Want the Cinderella logo font, badly. And KISS's lightning bolt logo as a true type font. Still have a use for my Cool 3D program afterall! Yes, Posette with Poser Dude are going to Headbanger's Ball and get whiplash!

There you go, Metal Rules! Now for a WASP shirt. Already made the logo a while ago and gave it to one of the WASP sites to use.
