Quote - I haven't found a good tutorial on how to make a MS agent from a poser figure, nor a wide range of voice files (kids, adults, cartoonish voices, etc) Any links come into mind?

Here's the best resource I have been able to find as far as how to create one goes: http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/msagent/agentstartpage_7gdh.asp

I have also just posted my first msagent charater for use with the Cynthia 3.0 program:

There is a ink there to download it. She can talk, smile, blink, breath (occasionally) and has an arm animation. Pretty simply, but like I said, it's my first. :) She is also smaller than Cynthia, so doesnt take up as much desktop realestate.

ALRIGHT!! Finally someone else uses Nendo! };] Fantastic work!

I used three light sources, one on the brazure, and one on each chandelier. The scene is brighter that it should be, but at lower levels, the chandeliers and brazure etc, were lost in the dark. I tried adding yellow to the light as well, but again, just wasn't happy with the results. I may play with it more again in the future, ,but I am burt out on it for now. :) Need to do some more modeling! :) P.S. Bloodsong...Thanks for the correction! See what happens when you do things at 2:00 in the morning! };]

EyeCandy plugin for Photoshop and a little drag and smear by hand....I LOVE that filter though! };] The chandelier (SP?) will be for sale as soon as I get it set up, as will the alter, the staff (hard to see) and the brazure.

Beware Prohost!! I used them for about 2 months, but after complaining about the slow server response, I was told "that it was just me.." When I showed them all the e-mails I was getting from people trying to access my site, they simply deleted it altogether...Funny thing is, the day before they deleted my site, I recieved an e-mail advertising thier pay service...hmmm. Anyway, I am NOT impressed with them or thier service.

Wow, very good questions! there is a demo purchase (for $0.00) would either ecockrell or geekholder please try it and let me know if you are able to do it? The address is http://www.echarge.com/products/myphone_demo.shtml ther eis no actual charge made, but it will go through all the steps. Please let me know what happens! Thanks Gang!

yes, they do a lot, but if I only ask $5.00 for an item, then losing over 50% is not an option. I am however finding other possible ways that do not require merchant accounts, tax IDs etc...ECharge and ClickBank are two I am reading about right now. More info a little later.

I think you all are right. };]I appreciate the input. Now, I need to figure out HOW to sell them. Zygote only gives 35% of the net income....not good if I am only asking 10-15 bucks for a set....and Bbay is just under 50%....I understand they take a lot of the hassle out of the process, but....};]In any case, I will let you all know as soon as something is worked out. Thanks again for the input!

};] It is all rendered in Bryce. The "outfit" except for the boots were all made with Nendo. along with the axe/scythe. The tree was picked up from the net someplace, but I am working on one of those too. };]Thanks for the input gang!

i have a laptop with a 15 inch display, (same as a 17 inch monitor) and run at 1024x768 32 bit...

It is the banners at the top of the screen. I have to stop the page from completely loading to get in at all...};[

};] don't feel lonely Spike, I have a "test" pictur that i have been trying to render now for a week...a few hours here, a few hours there....and it is still going.};] Also using the volumetric lighting.

oman...VERY impressive...you just raised the standards. };] now I am really gonna have to work to compete with that! };]

ALRIGHT!!!! we are getting closer to a really good centuar/centaurette!This one is very good, can you PLEASE PLEASE make a male and female now with the horse (on my knees REALLY! };])?

Yes, I found a copy of Magnetic Storm while sorting through the boxes buried in the closet, and realized at once that I had to take a stab at that style. Though as usual, the original idea differs dramatically from what I had originally pictured (doesn't it always? };])There may be a few more ideas in there as well.....Thanks everyone for the positive comments! That is what motivates me to do more! };]
