Has anyone found any textures yet?

Quote - maybe you can show something close to what think character should look like.
impressions of deities can be very subjective.

I didn't think anyone would need to know what he looked like seeing that he is the main character of one of the most highly anticipated video game sequels ever:

Kratos, from God of War:

Anyone?

It looks like the Math node thing is doing the trick. Now, I'm just tinkering with different subtraction values.

Thanks for your due diligence and thorough explanations. I'll post a render once I'm happy with the tweaking.

I had previously used the "Add Reflection" button on the Wacros menu. However, what was happening was that the base body map was reflecting as well. I feel that I'm close, but I'm willing to bet that I am missing one very small but crucial step. Every time I go to add a reflection, I first select the bump map I am targeting and then hit the reflection button. But what happens every time is that the BODY map gets the reflection added; thus making everything reflective.

The trick I was going for was to leave the base body map looking dull like natural fabric and the bump map shiny like a raised synthetic print on that fabric.

I've tried creating a reflection map/node. Perhaps I'm missing something in the execution.

I just read your Content Paradise rely. I thank you here as well!

I know this sounds like a newbie question, but does anyone know how to make this a poseable figure in Poser7?

There were separate incidents regarding Sharby. There was the alleged "spiderman texture" usage in one incident and there was bandwidth theft in another.

The texture usage got sharby pretty ticked off when it happend quite a while ago. The website in question used to have larger images of the spiderman and you could see the similarities and "sublteties" that were the same "sublteties" as Sharby's textures. Since then, I'm assuming the website got the authority to license the Spiderman image from Marvel (with obvious modifications) because it now has the "Marvel" logo on their page since it's being used for commercial purposes. The images they used to have didn't look hand-drawn. They had actually looked like they used Poser or another 3D rendering program to intergrate it into their product.

In terms of bandwidth theft, it had been going on for a while before the "texture usage" issue, but I'm sure the texture thing was the straw that broke the camel's back and he took the stuff down as a result.

Sharby took them down because someone used his Spiderman for commercial purposes and didn't credit him at all. Sharby understands that he cannot legally sell the comic figures as is because it would be a violation of Marvel TOS, etc. He made them to be making them and not for profit.

The individuals in question used his textures, didn't credit him, AND passed it on as THEIR work to sell some children's products/service. So, now those individuals are under the scrutiny of Sharby AND Marvel.

Thus, Sharby took his stuff down because he got tired of folks using his stuff and not crediting him, plus folks were bandwidth stealing by hotlinking the url's and not making vistors visit his site while he's paying for the bandwidth.

Quote - Fumanshoo, there are three male morphs ... John, Paul and George .... none of them look like this character.

Just as the old V4 always had dials to tweek the look of the base face, so does V4.2. You can still get male faces with just the default dials.

Quote - Thanks, but are you sure about this ?
Which one of the morphs (Paul, John, George) do you think it is ?
I don't think it looks like any of them.

That is the new V4.2 male morph in the promo. On another note, I just wish they put this much damned effort when or IF they introduce M4! To spend all this time making Victoria look like a man is a waste of time. They should just develop M4 with the capabilities of making his face softer or not as chiseled and make it so that most of M3's current clothes fit M4.

This whole "lady boy" thing is disturbing.
