It wasn't me after all, Poser 5 was just having a momentary lapse in reason. :) WG

How in the heck do you unhide the dials? I've been sitting here for about an hour wondering why it's not working when I inject something, and perhaps the problem is that I just have to unhide the dials. Help! Lord I feel like a newbie again. WG

hi Jeff :) The only thing I can remember about the artwork is that it had a bunch of phrases on it... like "I love you" and "Don't go" and "I'll be back"... if you go to Sega's website, click on the "Games" link, and then on the website for the game, Shenmue - the title bar across the webpage has the figures in it that I remember from the artwork, maybe that would jog your memory :) I just think that's cool that someone from here has their characters in a game :) Witchy

laugh Maybe I should call her My Little Angelina, like those My Little Pony dolls hehe :) Yeah, it is hard to do.. I got an email from someone telling me that one of my images in the gallery looked a little like her so I thought I'd go for it. Your comment and a few others helped me to take a better look at the figure, and while I was able to fix some things, most of the changes just destroyed her face - Bringing the eyebrows down mutilated the upper lids, changing the width of the mouth destroyed the cheeks. I suspect it would be different if we were working with NURBS. And you're right, the more you make things the same shape as her face, something else tweaks itself outta place, and then when you fix it... oy what I wouldn't give to be a plastic surgeon! :) I was able to fix the nose with ease, still working on a bump map for the lips, gotta make a texture.. then she'll be out for everyone to monkey with :) But thanks Allie, you did give me a chance to look at the model and mess with morphs for an entire Saturday afternoon... and now I know Ms. Voight's face from so many angles, I'd think we were high school chums! lol WG

I'm a little late for this topic, but I think it depends on your background. I love black webpages, and if that's what you're going to do, I'd use the black logo with the flames, but remove the white outlines, it would look phat like dat :) WG

Cindygrrl! :) You've been on my mind today too! Weirdness.. Thanks for the compliment.. I hate using a Poser figure on the front of my webpage, cuz they're always so booooful (beautiful for those phonetically challenged).. maybe I'll use her everywhere, be consistant :) My concept still isn't nailed down, she might end up in the artwork section while she's replaced with some other entrance graphic... who knows! Thanks fur! Again! blows kisses, again lol :)

laugh that is funny Tim.. I can see it too, her doing a little jig, maybe even mouthing the words to some ridiculous song, or perhaps even a nursery rhyme :)

You're all welcome :) The lines on the clothing are pretty exact this time - the P3 texture had a lotta problems. There's minor errors on the sleeves as they extend over the hands, but other than that it's lookin' pretty good :) If anyone uses the texture for any artworks, please let me have a peek at it if it's not posted in the Gallery. I love to see what others are doing with it :) WG

nerd: I'm getting tearing at the hips when bent in extreme positions. I'll try what you suggested, thanks :) WG

awwwh booo!! Well, I for one will miss you, hurry back! :) WG

Thanks everyone for all the tips, URLs, and good ol' advice :) I went into the terrain editor and successfully made an icicle - it wasn't hard to make, but you'd need the patience of a Saint to do each one - yanno, to make them look random :) Patience is something I'm falling short of these days, but maybe soon I'll get cracking on this latest idea :) Thanks again! WG

Thanks! Had been wondering about transparency maps - someone said they used that before on a Poser figure and I don't remember if they ever said what it was exactly :) WG

looks good - how did you do the hair with no post production? those strands look great! WG

LOL! Happy Halloween ;) WG

I did that alll wrong! I wasn't finished with my Poser figure, I just wanted to give an example, but now that she's done, there's a better example, and a more dramatic result:
The transformation was done in Photoshop - I think she looks pretty dern good :) WG
