Hi Allerleirauh, Many thanks for your comment. I feel that I can learn more by listening to a negative one than by a dozen "gosh that is good" ones. It would help me enormously if you would be so kind as to explain in greater detail. The OBJ file is identical to the men's with the exception of the chest, abdomen and head. Bump maps, (incompleted at time of posting) almost identical also. I had wondered what to do for the breast plate. The Joan of Arc pictures that I saw were almost boyish, the Poser genre apparently calls for more form :) I felt that a cutaway version would defeat the object so went for what you see. I'm considering a caged visor to front the helmet and am still working on its bump map. Again my thanks PhilC pcooke@mis.net

hmmm...Allerleirauh got me thinking as usual. I am not going to recant that it is good work, because it is...but...in a realistic sense, it should actually be more boyish. The Joan of Arc armour is a good example. I'm not sure what you meant when you talked about calling for more form. Probably the biggest gripe that I have about Poser is it's clothes, seems the motto is "the tighter the better". For some that is what they like, but for others it isn't. I don't think we all necessarily like our art to end up cheesecake....I mean honestly, if I'm depicting my posette in a battle type scene I really don't care if she has breasts or not :) I would trade form fitting for realistic any day of the week. I'll shut up now since I'm in no way skilled enough to even think about making my own clothes yet. But it is still good work :) And yes, I would use it. Not that my opinion amounts to a hill of beans.

Phil, You might want to split that breastplate from the backplate with an obvious seam, so it won't look like she has been welded in!
