Since so many seem to be trying to get poor little (5' 10" -- not so little) Vickie to look like Posette. I decided to go a different path. Thanks to Zygotes free morphs, Victoria is simply stunning as other ethnic characters. These 2 only took me one half of a day to fiddle with. More fiddleing with textures than with the model and lighting. Modified Shauna tex. New Geisha tex **READ THIS: I know the Geisha tex is not accurate, give me somme artistic license ;-)** Hope everyone now knows a little more of the diversity of Vicky. James

God, you're good!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Outstanding! These are why people need to try new things.. look at the diversity of the world and try to do it justice. And the texture is not really off. I have seen geisha wearing their makeup like that.

These are so wonderful! I am inspired :-)

BEAUTIFUL!!!!! Marge

Looks like Queen Amidala.....

I love these. What did you use for her head turban? It worked out really nicely. Both are just beautiful.

The only comment I have on the Geisha is that often they would paint the upper lip green....otherwise...what's inaccurate? Scarab <-just got back from two weeks in Kyoto

Those look great! The art on Renderosity is the best advertising for Zygote. Its art like this that has talked me into buying Victoria.

Hi Folks! Hey man, those are great!! How did you design the headpiece for the African/Arabic woman? I've love to have a similar model for some of my ethnic figures! If you've like an additional source for material, check out the photo essays of Uwe Ommer. You might even still be able to find copies in hardcover. Impressive work! Peter (Dr Zik)

My first response: OOH WOW! Too cool.

pretty sweet stuff...

UNBELIEVABLE!

Fantastique!I like very much the one with turban.Someone still say Vic is ugly

Thanks all! It's so nice to get this great of a response. THe "turban/head-scarf fortunatly or unfortunatly is from zygotes costume shop cd (the turban). I did some grouping to spawn a prop without the top and the flap. Then just applied a pattern to it. Tip: When spawning a prop from something exsisting, in my luck I've noticed that it retains it's original UV mapping. Also if anyone knows of a site which has hiresolution pictures of geishas,, please pass this along to me. James

Thanks James--I have the costume CD. I'll have to try that. It is such a nice item. Diane B

James, the book "Memoirs of a geisha" a novel by Arthur Golden has excellent descriptions of a Geishas makeup and hair. It is also well worth reading if you are interested in Geishas, even if it is a novel. Marge

You're certainly welcome for the morphs, James - you've done some great work here. Beautiful images! I have to agree with Gawain, too. You artists here in the Poser community are probably the best advertising we at Zygote have. Because of that, and because we do have many clients that are not as tapped in to the community as you all are, Zygote is going to be hosting a gallery soon specifically to showcase work done with the Victoria figure. (You can send images and questions to gallery@zygote.com). Anyway, what I'm getting to here, James, is a request for you to submit some of this work you're doing to the Vickie gallery. We'd love to post some of your images on our site. Thanks. -Chad Zygote Media Group
