Hi, I prepare for you a little surprise for the Christmas LOL Just have a wish to do this. That is a very long time ago when I did any textures for V3. The new gift creation is for V3 and my question is to you, what are your favorite skin tones that you most use. I know that to much yellow tone don't works nice with your skin tones as for example a light rose textures that can simple change to the color you wish. Here is little sample of the skin, if you help me to find out the most favorite color I will try to set it up. The new gift package will in a original size and NOT reduced , exact as I try to do for my commercial work so I try to do my best. Thanks for your feedback Hugs Cath

Thank you, this is very nice of you. Speaking for myself, I like a very neutral, light tone, without colorcast (that can always be added after the fact)...so number three (3) looks good to me. Thanks again, SWAMP

3 and 4 are my favourites :-) What a wonderful idea to make a texture for V3 as a Christmas gift :-))

thanks SWAMP for your feedback, number 3 is good as a background if you wish to make any modifications that will fit your creations. :) Cath

thank you karanta for your feedback :) 3+4=7 good one maybe I find something between, I hope because we have not much time, the head background is finished and the body is on 80% already done and everything wait for the right touch.. so any feedback is welcome. The number 1 colors was exact as on the photo but it render much darker in poser as in other rendering software so I was confused after 2 weeks, that why I ask you for little help. This will help me to create a nice gift for you but also help me with my next creations. Thanks Cath

Hi Cath!!! I like #3 myself :) you do such beautiful work!

Hi Cath, I prefer 4, there seems to be a good balance between the darks and the lights. Sweet!!!!!

Not to repeat, but I have to agree with #3. #5 would be my second choice. So hard to pick from your textures! }-) A very generous gift!

Wow! Thank you :) #1 (the original) looks the best on my monitor, with #3 a second choice. #4 & particularly #6 look a little green here! ali x

I prefer #1

3 and 5 I love pale skin. Then 1. Where is your site now?

Love is Grandchildren.

I have to go with 3 and 5 also. (: Thank you. genny

Wow thanks for the all feedback. I rendered some preview with the color between 3/4 I think it will the best from what you said. render poser5 using normal poser4 rendering. So she will looks +/- like this one in the render above, I ma not so handy with the injection morph for her face but will figure something if you wish. the hair are free by Kozaburo if you look for.. ( I imagine that I was the last person that got the hair lol ) Thanks again! Hugs Cath Turtle.. my website is always at http://mec4d.com or http://www.mec4d.com, you can find there some old products that are free already..not so good but always something to play with for free.

Not so good she says!!!!!!! Cath, your gift of your older "not so good" textures was wonderful! I have already added them to my collection, and am finding I use them above many others I have. As always, you do great work, only now you seem to be doing greater work }-) THANKS! Oh, I don't know if you take requests, but a nice Asain male texture with minimal or no hair would be terrific! Again, thanks!

One and then three

Number 3 here also, she looks lovely. Thank you for your generosity, your textures are top notch and the tutorials for DeepPaint3d that you put up at your website are the only reason I finally came to grasp with the software, my hat's off to you.

5 looks good

I like 5, looks very natural.

4 and 5. and as usual your not so good freebie is as good as stuff I have bought. love your stuff, look forward to your next showing.

not so good Try that again. That stuff is excellent.

#3 :)

Cath, you worked your magic again. Personally I think they all look good. My favorite would be #3 for its softness :)

3, mixed with whatever formula you used to make Mike appear human and natural (for a change) in the brilliant free textures. Thank you... I've now started to use Mike a heck of a lot more:)

1 & 3

How can I get hair like that for Michael 3/The Freak?And I don't mean long hair from the 60's,ponytails,or Romance book cover hair.I mean Buzzcut,short wavy etc.Thanks.

3 and 5, gorgeous textures BTW!!

This was such a pleasant surprize, finding this thread, and I think 3 and 4 are the best textures. Thank you 8) Catlin

Another vote here for #3 and #4 - 1 and 2 are too saturated (except if you are blushing or sunburned) - 5 is not saturated enough and 6 is jaundice flesh - Love your work, Cath - I wouldn't complain about any of them ;-)

Cath... I just wanted to take the opportunity to thank you for all those wonderful free textures :)... B.B.

You can always (easily) add more color using the material editor (adding some color other than white), but you can't take a dark/saturated/multi-colored texture and make it lighter. My vote is for #3 and #5. These look fantastic Cath - and a great gesture from you - Thanks! - Keith

#1 or #3 (#3 looks a bit pale though) Really fantastic! - Walter

#1 - the best natural saturation for color - none of the others look quite real to me - either too pale - or too much of a color cast. (looks beautiful!!) :-)

Oh thank you for all the great feedback and nice words, what a inspirations !!! Thank you so much! I decided to finish the number 1 + extra number 3+ so you get self the chance to change or ad anything to make them looks you wish. I will prepare very soon this free gift package and let you all know about be posting here a message in this topic again so you will not missing this one for sure. Thanks again and a big hug to All of you Cath P.S please don't see this as a promotion of anything, I don't sell anything on this moment, nah one poor benny , but I wish to do something from my heart and this is only the reason why I do this.. when Kozaburo can.. I can too! why not? especially on Christmas time ;)

Lovely! I like #1 best. Second choice would be #3. :] Fish

I love #2, but they all look super.

You do wonderful work. 3 is the one I like, but they all look good.

Yes I prefer 3 as well :o) Looks awesome. Thanks in advance!

Hi cath I like skin tone #3, but #1 would be my next choice because you can see more details in the skin. This look excellent! thank you for being so generous :)

:D Here's my HueWhore reaction to all the samples (as seen on my MAC): 1= colorful, I like it best, but the yellow in the shadows needs to be desaturated 2= rosy, too rosy 3= lighter, desatured midrange with too much yellow in the shadows 4= a darker number 3 with too way much yellow in the shadows 5= too blue, highlights need yellow 6= Soooo much yellow, it's green!!! Overall: I like the hues in the midrange and highlights in 1, but would strip in some of the desaturted shadow hues from 5 to tone down that yellow, and make the texture overall a bit lighter and desaturated like 3 (but not by much). Hope that helps! :D bB

I hope you don't mind, I experimented with image Number 1 in Photoshop to see if I could tone down the yellow in the shadows but still keep good reds and yellows in the midrange and highlights like in sample 1. I think it worked out okay. bB

Thanks !!! BastBlack you did good job on the number 7, the best in my opinion of all previews :) when I am done you will have a job my dear ;) LOL Cath P.S I reduced the yellow, see the small preview of the head textures, I don't think it looks so bad :)

Looks great.. btw Cath, I was at your site earlier (prompted by a post above) reading your Deep Paint tutorials. I don't have Deep Paint, but was interested in how it works an wha it does and your tutorials were very helpful in showing that. I noticed that there's not a lot (if any) replies in your forums, but I just wanted to let you know that it wasn't due to lack of interest in what's posted there ;). Thanks! - Keith

Thanks Keith, the forums remove all old posting automatic, so we keep only the last new one to get the forum clean and also the database. I was thinking to keep only my Deeppaint3D mini tutorials forums in the future and the rest just remove because we have so much forums around regarding poser that it really make not sense and so or so I come here or there to talk with you all LOL Cath

LOL! I'm here for you! You're map's looking good. :D bB

Cath... Your textures are great...I am blown away by Joanna New version on your website. I like the skin 3 & 4 above. Thanks for the freebies on your site. Also the web design is cool. Steve Owens starmkr

just putting my vote in for the third version as well. Its a little softer than the original, which means that it should take tinting nicely. 2 is too pink (magenta), 5 is too desaturated (but with wrinkles would make a good old lady), and 7 is very sallow. 4 is also pretty good, but its a little darker than 3, so may cause trouble if trying to tint in Poser. Also I like the soft rose of the cheeks in 3, and in 4 they get a little lost in the rest of the skintone for some reason. Not as if you need my advice lol but I figured I might as well.

GeeeeeZus! age Chr..... !! I need to know how to do this stuff.... I like 3 BTW for what it's worth ;)

I am not sure I want to know how Cath does those textures... See... I have this idea that she actually skins people. It's the only way to get such PERFECT textures... And those details.. yuck ;o)

ernyoka1 what a idea say!!!! hahha LOl thanks! scarab1 if you like to see how I do this visit my forum and watch the mini tutorials ;)) Thanks starmkr and Lyrra as I see number 3 is the most popular, but as I said before I will put in 2 versions 1 and 3 so you can try self to do something from if you wish and everyone will happy.... I hope :)) Back to the body... Hugs! Cath

Wow!!!!!!!! That's GREAT Catharina! Did you ever Post this lovely V3 texture???? Happy new year! :-) Eric Walters

Hi Eric, not yet, but I am well little later, I got just new body materials also new very amazing head shots so I decided to do something new in a perfect way for this gift, my beta tester was not really impressed with this old one, and that is enough for me to don't post this, especially as a special gift.. when I am done I will post here message about so you don't miss it for sure.. for now you have to play with my other freebies from the freebies section on my website if you don't got this already.. sorry for the delay!! Happy New Year!! Cath

Happy New Year Cath! Thanks for all your effort and enthusiasm!

Happy New Year shogakusha and to everyone!!! this will our last day in out good old 2003, and I am sure that 2004 will bring us much more inspiration and experience to do better our Art work! I try to do my work perfect but this cost me to much frustrations and sometimes it is better to start new project in place to rework old one, and I hate to rework old projects, especially when was made by myself.. Warm hugs! cath
