##### I've been playing with a version of the My Michelle figure that uses Vicky 4 mapping for the past few days. I have done the basic re-mapping moving one point at a time to sync up with V4's UVs. It still needs a lot of work. On this one I was trying out Sisterhood Skin from Alfaseed. Nice! :D Wow this opens up a lot of possibilities! If I could ever get this to work correctly I would like to one day put it up as a freebie. Thing is, right now I have it saved as a CR2 and an OBJ. I could not give that out as a freebie.  If there was another way to INJ the new surfaces and UV's in Poser it would be the way to release it. If I ever do get this to work in a decent manner, it will never be perfect this method will not get rid of all seams, I think a freebie would be the way to go. I will keep scratching my head trying to figure it out. Suggestions are welcome. This is a lot of fun to be able to use any of V4's MATs on Michelle. You should see the Oxygen MATs from Syyd Raven on her. It is pretty sweet.

Hey Jan, if you come up with a great render you should enter it in the "Michelle Candy Kisses" on RDNA. DNA is putting up a lot of prizes. Just figured I would put that out there for ya! :D I'm having lots of fun with the add ons myself. I'm also looking forward to ones that are to come. I'm greatful that you are enjoying her! :D

You used the "Michelle Eyes" precisly as I intended Jan! I love your render. She looks great. I'm glad you enjoyed the "Raven" morph and textures.

This is Michelle now with my upcoming "Raven" FBM

I will say this in my defense. For one, I want to say thank you to those who have been very supportive. Those who have worked close with me know I can be self conscious about my work.  I never would claim to be awesome or think I am better than anyone else. I actually look at other figure creator’s work with an inspired awe. I am often humbled by the talent I see around me in the Poserverse.  So, thank you! I can not tell you how scared I was that on the day of Michelle’s release. All the positive feedback has really helped me to relax. Second, I try very hard to give the end user my all. What I mean by that is I do not look at this as a profit thing. I look at this as a pleasing thing. I want to share my work and, I want the end user to be pleased with what they get for their money. Trust me when I say that I kept the price really low for something I have worked years on. I want to be proud of my work but, I can’t do that if the end user is not happy with what they get. I started playing with Poser back in 2000. I was blown away and worked very hard to hone my skills to the point where I could create a human figure. Michelle was originally created in 2007. I did not want to release her then because I did not have the skills to get her to a point I felt was good enough. For years I would re-work, re-build her mesh until finally in the fall of 2011 I felt I had something good enough to work with. So, know that I put in the best effort I could and, I had the end users in mind the whole time. Lastly, I have yet to see a one hundred percent perfect mesh on any Poser figure. There are some that I think are better than Michelle and, others I think are not as good. (Just my opinion) I will say this, I have made many, many, morphs with Michelle and, I have always been able to get the morphs I wanted. I tried to walk a fine line between low poly and having enough polygons to create good morphs. I think I did a decent job at it. The loops on the rib cage are for making her look emaciated. You can morph the ribs to poke out. At least that is what my intentions where when I added the loops. I know I did not make the best mesh in the world for a Poser figure but, I never claimed to. What I do think I accomplished was to make a decent figure with a ton of versatility. For that I am proud of what I have done and, I stand by it.

Netherworks and I are still working at improving her as well. We want to add more versatility. Push her as far as we can. We never make any decisions about her without considering how it affects the end user. We work hard and, we really honestly care about this project. Know that we have done, and continue to do our best. We know we can not please everyone but, we are happy to hear that 95% of the feedback we get is positive. Sorry for the rant. I just thought I would give my thoughts on this subject.

   Just for giggles, here is Michelle in January 2008, two months after I first started working on her.

It's fine. I always say people are entitled to their opinion. Even when they choose to be brutal about it. I'm a big boy, I can take a hit. :D I can only say I did the best I can do and, ask anyone that owns Michelle. I'm sure a lot of them will tell you that myself and Joe are constantly working to improve Michelle too. Soon SR2 will be out and I think folks are really going to like it! :D

I did the UV work. In my defense I had to make the model, make the UV's, Paint new textures from scratch, Build a rig, build the morphs. I really tried my best. I know I'm not perfect at all aspects and, UV's are a weak-point. I did really try though. I also thought I kept the price reasonable for a figure I spent well over a year creating.

There are also wire shots on the product page.

That is Aria hair from Littlefox in case anyone wants to know. I've been asked about the hair multiple times so, I figured I would put that out there. It is great hair and I think it looks fantastic on this character.

 

Here is a quick render I did this evening with Michelle SR2 (coming out really soon) and using BlackHearted's "Michelle Redux" body morph. (also coming soon.)This was rendered in Poser Pro 2012 with IDL and SSS on. I'm really impressed with this.

:D

Oh My! She looks so cute!

   :D

  This is just Michelle SR2 basic figure, tweaked out with the built in morphs and scales. This is fun. I think you guys are going to like this. It really adds to the package making it easy to make her "Your Michelle"

   

Quote - Nice Are these utilising Poser 9 / Pro 2012 SR3's scaling fixes then?

 

Netherworks would be the guy to answer that question. I did this in Poser 7 but it is still a Work in Progress. I think it might be P8 up but, I am cluless! This awesomness is all Netherworks!

Quote - Oh, Tate, don't give out spoilers! LOL

 

I can't help it. I'm so excited! This is reallt freaking cool!

 

My Harley Character morph Tweaked out with some of SR2s awesomeness!!

I'm loving the control I'm getting with all these scale dials Netherworks is working on ! Sweet!!!! This is a lot of fun and I think folks are going to like it! :D
