yes pretty sure. but anyways i started over from scratch and it worked ! thanks !

RuntimeError: Bad magic number in .pyc file

latest update. tons of time spent searching for a look that's is not too fantasy and also not too realistic. this is the low-poly version of the model so the collar bends might not look as smooth as they might.

she looks much better lately ...completed lots of tweaks

how the hip curve SHOULD look is like the white arrow section here. the biggest challenge so far is getting the curve to be like this doctored image, without wrecking the skeleton

thanks for the encouragement. That pretty much focusses everything in a nutshell. Pinup is what I am going for. When I first loaded up Alyson I felt like a company with the initials SM had just kicked me in my balls

_Depending on how and if you decide to put her out that will indicate how much more work and additional stuff will need to be made _ I kinda see the morphs , the clothes, texture maps etc, ( if that's what you mean) to be pretty easy , im looking forward to how easy that will be....after trying to make human face and body look real in poser, ( if I ever get there), I know that the additional stuff will be a pleasure. I think im getting trapped too much by the concept of REALISM, what I really want is simply a figure that loads up from your library without looking like CRO MAGNON man. That's all I ever wanted. why make a user work and work to correct the horrible ugly ape like appearance of a figure like....let's say...Alyson... ( ugh) before they can start to have fun making a composition. Jessica was close... she had that .... quasi-realistic sexy female look, (maybe a bit too buff )I don't know why she never became more popular.

here......nasty unforgiving lighting, and nasty unforgiving hair prop... on purpose......the one on the left is the original with eyes too high.......(and that is backed up by the facemask, albeit even the new one on the right is not a perfect fit.) BUT yes it was the eye height I saw a couple of comments about it earlier in the thread and plus the recent comment ...and it finally sunk in I think that if you look at the one on the left for a bit....and then change over and zone in on the one on the right, you get a little better sense of realism with the one on the right. I don't know, E.C. I don't know what i will do with the figure, I guess it depends on how good it comes out. why ?

heres where im at after a full day ... and here is where im staying, except for the way the eyeballs are fit...and a little more bottom eyelid definition is also needed

I tried to add them about one second later, as an edit, when I realized forgot them. it doesn't work. you cannot update flags by edit .

yeah this will work. .... goddam head is too big

I think I will keep this one and work on it all the way thru .... she's got a good basic build ..... I just have to fight through the joint deformers now like: in this render for instance..... the biceps need smoothing .... and the elbows are F'd.... and need more smoothing in the weight map of the armpits....
......and a host of other things....but to me something in her core shape just looks right. looks like she hit it. Ill be damned how her face suddenly turned ugly in the past 72 hours that's something ill have to schedule a good amount of time for, but im taking this one all the way thru

OMG weight mapping is SICK !!!!!! sorry to be such a noob, new to the game and all......but I can see that this project is going to be a lot of fun.... definitely not mastered it yet, but this first result from my learning weight mapping, in the last couple days, is worlds apart from those old weird angel wings for armpits and the crashing of the hips and stuff. I like to model and model and model. that's what I like to do, I cant make shaders, I cant light a scene for crap....but with the extension of joint deformation into further body parts, and with weight mapping, it gives a modeler light at the end of the tunnel ..... Its nice to know that a rigger now has the tools to treat your body right.

RorrKonn oh no no so much more to do first shes not even half as good as I imagine she should and will be. small victories tonight though... the boobs are less weird I got rid of that hard ridge that rode up too high on her cleavage....the figure on the left is zero pose original, but now with the boob fix is on the center model. yeah unbelievable nice firm boobs but so what ,,some women do have them even without surgery and this model will have fine boobs I don't care but a bigger victory I think, is I got the Buttock and Thigh joints right, so that her hips stay looking good when she closes her legs, and best of all her butt now keeps a good butt shape .....previously her but was getting "compacted" and getting squished upward when she closed her legs with too much hip and not enough weight on the bottom end. I like the butt now when she has legs closed . her shoulder dimensions and weight I think I improved by FAR again just with joint tweaks........but im afraid to start putting her arms up way over her head, I have not even seen what happened there yet im scared.

thanks again, I really agree with all of these detailed comments- I struggled with the hard upper cleavage outline for a while and now I have a fix for it

...between going back to the modeling program and changing some of the joint deforming weighting I am targeting now to make a bunch of fixes

the breasts are big because I wanted a high poly compression while they were in a LARGE state, rather than stretch them in to a large state and stretch the polys out and ruin some nice goosebumpy skin texture map that you might want to apply....... and yu might guess, I prefer large breasts better than flat chested, so that's the direction I went in support of....but you know what, whether too big or too small, they look like implants and that is NO GOOD..... but is easy to fix
