A WIP shot of the next Virtual Backlot minipack. One or two more figures to model, MAT poses to apply, and it should be ready.

And they render very well up close. This took a little under two minutes on my laptop just now.

Looks terrific!! Great work, liteluvr!

Oh, fabulous! I've been waiting for a new installment.

Keep us posted. I'm interested.

In a departure from the first sets (and because I've learned so much more in the last year...) I'm doing away with the various diferently textured figures in favor of MAT poses. Probably going for at least 10 variations on each figure, as this image shows. Any thoughts for or against the MAT poses?


kayjay97 ( ) posted Wed, 10 September 2003 at 7:47 AM

Anyway we could get a roughed up, dirty looking texture?

Yikes! Even more folders in my already bulging "Poses" directory. Please consider putting all of them in a single folder. This has been workable for the RDNA Micro/Macrocosm collection, at least for me.


liteluvr ( ) posted Wed, 10 September 2003 at 7:55 AM

Roughed up and dirty... you bet. As for the location... all poses would be in a single folder. I would like to keep the poses for this particular installment in a separate folder, just to minimize confusion. It'd be nice if Poser would allow 'sub-folders'.... Maybe the new Daz studio will do that.


rrkknight3 ( ) posted Wed, 10 September 2003 at 7:57 AM

Poser 5 does, but not all of us have Poser 5.


liteluvr ( ) posted Wed, 10 September 2003 at 8:01 AM

True... after all the hue and cry around it's initial release, I decided to stay on 4.


ChuckEvans ( ) posted Wed, 10 September 2003 at 8:05 AM

MATs, too? Wonderful! (I like the bottom 4 the best, but having all those options would be great) Will adding those MAT pose files add much to your pricing? Or will the price of this set stay about the same as your others?


liteluvr ( ) posted Wed, 10 September 2003 at 8:08 AM

Pretty much the same. I've never been a big fan of high-margin items. I've always felt that if you do a good job at a reasonable price, then the volume will be there. (works for Wal-Mart, right?) And too... this is just for fun and a little pocket money. I've been blessed with a pretty good job that pays the bills... so this is just for fun.


kayjay97 ( ) posted Wed, 10 September 2003 at 8:09 AM

Well i have Poser 5 but it works better in the box. Thank you for considering the dirty texture :)

Sounds good to me, lite.

Here's a quick and dirty (no pun intended) pass at a "dirty" texture.


kayjay97 ( ) posted Wed, 10 September 2003 at 9:28 AM

Yeah!! I LIKE that. Looks good. Thank you!

Have you seen the Desolation series by Nikita Creed at RuntimeDNA? Her dirty textures also lose most of the color as they tend toward more and more desolate levels. Cool stuff! Perhaps worth considering as a reference for the Virtual Backlot in Decline series... ;-)


kayjay97 ( ) posted Wed, 10 September 2003 at 9:42 AM

Yep, I have all her stuff and she just gets better and better!

WOOOHOOO! They look fantastic Liteluvr! I have been waiting for the next installment of the Backlot! I love these! BTW: Thanks guys! blush ;o)


liteluvr ( ) posted Wed, 10 September 2003 at 10:24 AM

I'm alos kicking around a subset of these with much lower poly counts, with the same base textures. That way you could really populate a scene without killing your PC. Plus, that would leave the overhead for the main characters... which is the really the focus of the image in the first place. One noticeable difference between this set and the previous ones is the lack of hard edges and corners. I've tried to incorporate a much smoother mesh style without incurring a lot of mesh overhead. So far, it seems to be a pretty good balance.

"I'm alos kicking around a subset of these with much lower poly counts, with the same base textures. That way you could really populate a scene without killing your PC." Ohhh! Excellent idea!

Here's two shots of some of the MAT pose options on two of the structures. There's going to be 5, maybe 6 structures, depending on how big the overall downloadable file gets...

And the second building


ChuckEvans ( ) posted Fri, 19 September 2003 at 11:15 PM

Looks great and with lots of options!


rrkknight3 ( ) posted Sat, 20 September 2003 at 5:46 AM

I can't wait. My Poser peasants are revolting, demanding that they be allowed within the town to live in these buildings!


kayjay97 ( ) posted Sat, 20 September 2003 at 6:46 AM

This is absolutley wonderful!!

It's sorta starting to look like a medieval master-planned community of sorts... Hmmm... wonder what kinda penalties a medieval homeowner's association would have imposed? ;o)


ChuckEvans ( ) posted Sat, 20 September 2003 at 10:27 AM

"Hmmm... wonder what kinda penalties a medieval homeowner's association would have imposed?" Maybe restrictions on the height of gallows? Or the color of stocks? (LOL) Uh-oh, here comes an interesting tidbit (well, to me, anyway). I toured a museum of punishment in Germany. There was a "torture" device that had a nickname of the "bakers dunker" (or something like that). It was a device that a person was strapped into and dunked into the river. Most often, this punishment was used for bakers. You see, loaves of bread were baked in brick ovens (and sold). And, quality control wasn't up to snuff in those days, so there was a "measuring tool" used to determine if the loaf of bread was too small. It was a small hole in a wall. IF the loaf of bread could fit inside it, it was deemed too small and the baker was determined to be cheating people out of a proper loaf of bread. If it was too big to fit in the hole, the loaf was considered to be of appropriate size. So, for bakers, erring on the size of "too big" was much more desireable than turning out one too small. If it was too small, he found himself in the dunking chair. OK, I've bored you enough. Looking forward to the model, lite!

Interesting history lesson. Shame we can't apply that nowadays...
