More scifi stuff for MIKE. I have a huge contract with a model budget but I cannot find enough stuff for MIKE. There are a few Star Trek/Star Wars type things, but I need stuff like Farscape, Dune(the movie), Battlefield Earth, etc. Scifi sets would be nice too.

Items for Mike do not sell nearly as well as items for Vicki. I have no idea why (yeah right :) Have you considered approaching someone directly with a list of your needs? Particularly so if you have a specific costume in mind. Its unlikely however that you would be able to get a one off model made for the same price as those being sold generally.

Daz3d has the Stormguards pack and the SciFi addon pack. Gordion has many many sci fi suits (mostly star trekish) for mike's catsuit. RuntimeDNA has in freebies: Cyber Casual Jacket for Michael by Sydd Also at RuntimeDNA is RDNA SCI FI COLLECTION CD VOL 1 it's $75 but has some Farscape-ish stuff for Vicki2 and Mike2. in the marketplace here Platypus has the Decotech Modular Prop Pack, a modular sci-fi wall contruction set. Animotions has a new sci-fi brigde set with chairs that move, looks a bit like cheesy trek set to me, but hey its there. Whew! ummm more specific? I'm more into the sci-fi stuff too, not too much into the fantasy stuff. If ya can think of more specifics I might be able to point ya in the right direction. there is a bunch out there for mike, but it's kinda hidden away tucked in the nooks and crannys.

Ivyroses and I do have personal battle armor for Mike and Vicky unter the names "Peytrov the Bounty Hunter" and "Iryana the Bounty Hunter"... but it's not that "Farscape"-ish, unless there's a serious retexturing or something...

Remember, kids! Napalm is Nature's Toothpaste!

I have all the stuff listed here. I have to illustrate 450+ cards and I don't have nearly enough clothing for Mike

UH...I'd be hard pressed to come up with 450+ outfits for any of the poser people. what exactly are you doing? You could try doubling up on images, by that I mean, one pic clean cut in an image, next all dirty or scrapped up shot up that way ya get 2 pics for each outfit. shrug just a thought.

Valandar, I put your pieces on my wishlist, but the client wouldn't approve them(he's Verra Picky) Machineclaw, 450 cards is the first set. There are plans for reoccuring expansion sets. I have done the doubling(and tripling) by retexturing and using interesting camera angles, but eventually, its going to be obvious that I only have around 25-30 clothing models, even with transmapping.

Yikes I don't envey you your task. Valandar - Nice suits, put them on my wishlist, didn't even know they existed, thanks for the headsup.
