Soooooo, this is my first offering guys. I've been working on him for a while now. You know how newbies are, eh? I didn't make anything myself, just stole - er.. borrowed other people's work and changed it a bit. He's not dressed yet so he's being modest. Oh, almost forgot, the tongue is a posable prop and of course he has Allie's magnificent hair! Anyway, since this is my first real character (other than my husband), I'd sure like some constructive critisizm. Aeriol

Looks great for me. If you give the tongue a bump-map, i think it goes closer with the rest of your fantastic face-texture. SHARKEY

Robert, I'm working on that as well as a skin bumpmap which when set to 0 (zero) he looks normal but when set to -100 or +100 he looks pretty scary.

Im also working on a vampire, but female. Might I suggest that you use REALEYES, available from Bushi's 3D Website. Also a beard and moustache prop, with trans map would improve the look no end. The sugested tounge bump map is also a great idea. Anyway I think the face texture is excellent, any chance you could post it seperately.

Andy, I started this guy before Bushi put up RealEyes, then left him for a while. Although, I do have them installed now and his .pz3 with the new P4NM figure but I don't know if I can do this after the fact. Also, I'm on a Mac and don't have all the utilities available for Poser, like the cr2 editor and the MorphManager . Could I just save Bushi's figure to the character library then change my guy that way? But would I lose all my morphs and material settings? I do plan on putting him in the Free Stuff when he's done, but right now I'm still working on the texture. If you wanted the original texture I started with, it was called 'seanmaletex' and it was in Free Stuff. I wasn't going to put a stash and beard on him just the '5 o'clock shadow' look. In fact the texture came that way originally.

Andy, I'm sorry. I just realized I was talking about the wrong texture, I tried so many! This texture does have a beard and stash so maybe I'll put them on him and see what they look like...

I think the tongue you're using works better scaled up to 200% in the 'y' direction only. Maybe you could give a character Real Eyes and then load your character on top of it choosig to save props when asked. Haven't tried it...
