Looks great Winston!

Hi Biscuits, Thank you!

@Nagra_00_, your figure looks wonderful.

Hi Nagra_00_, I didn't know about your morph. This looks nice. Thank you for sharing.

I wanted to apply different texture to the PE figure with my morph. I tried to see if I can use Danae's London texture by tweaking the diffuse map using gimp, but unfortunately it didn't turn out well. I've never created facial texture from scratch successfully, so I kind of gave up in the past. I purchased Blacksmith3D quite a while ago, but totaly forgot how to use it because of the lack of use on my part. However I thought I'd give it another try today, and this time, I was more determined to produce something I can use. I started learning (or re-learning) how to use the software by applying texture to Suzanne the Monkey obj from Blender as a test figure. It took me sometime to re-learn Blacksmith3D but once I got a hang of how to use the software, applying photo texture on the face part was much smoother than I had expected. It was fun and rewarding learning experience. (I haven't done displacement/bump map, so the brows are flat ;-))!

One thing you need to do is to change a Python script to make it work with Poser 12. In the Runtime where you have PE look in the following location to find the file to update. "Runtime:Libraries:Character:Evolution:Figures:Character" There you will find a file named "load_current_version.py" find the line that says "elif versionNr == 11" and change it to "elif versionNr >=11" that way when you load a character it will load the correct base figure based on which version of Poser you are using. Since Poser 12 is closer to 11 then 10 the change will make sure you get the best figure with the proper rigging.

Hi Richard60, thank you for the tip. I am considering upgrading to Poser 12, so this is helpful.

Also, Fverbaas & rokket, thank you for encouraging words.

Looks real nice winston. :)

@ghostman, Thank you for kind words.

I purchased a PE a while ago and always wanted to play with it, but haven't had a chance. Lately I finally found the time to tweak with my custom morphs (ZBrush & Blender) & built-in morphs and render. I had a good time working on this so I thought I'd share the image I rendered.

Big thank you to Erogenesis for producing a great figure and Biscuits for making the skin available on the market for a hobbyist like myself to use.
