I like James more that expected.. one of the best Poser new version male models we ever used for sure... I will not call him a Dork for sure..:) I put just the low resolution casual head into DeepPaint3D and made quick some head-neck textures... in 15 min of time it get faster with low resolution models as well.. and here are the result ... still not finished but I go to finish this today as well and want to upload to my website as a freebie so everyone can play with, the head textures are high resolution 2000x2000 and have very much details v.hair.tex. included.. I used the same male character as for Sixus1 Adam2 that I still work on in free time.. and preapre for my free section too.. The render above are Open GL so not rendered yet :0 I hope you like and when I am done I go to inform you under this topic as well... Cath

Huh? Hi James Nice texture and renderer. I would like to see him in bright background if possible.

Very nice! Looks like a photo, even. But even the previews look great in DeepPaint. What does he look like in Poser?

Oki Doki GWeb here you go! please think about that this are only test view and not final textures so it can looks little funny sometimes and in some areas

Cath, he looks awesome!

That looks very nice indeed!

(/me stomps foot on floor and screems: "I want my P6 noooow!")
(/me sits down and wait....)

THAT is NOT James, right, you're playing with us of course. That is just a photo you have there...... :O All kidding aside, that looks awesome, can't wait to see more stuff from you, this is amazing!

In Poser? the same if you wish.. I learned to get the same setting of from DP3D into Poser too but I think in Poser6 he looks more great! that why I work on the bump and specular to get the right look and for use the new features of P6, I will try to use AO to see what we get and from what I saw this morning was really cool! give me little more time and when done everyone can play with :) sort of CHALLENGE

Hehe, go ahead Cath - you took a photo of your husband, right? LOL, j/k ;-) Looks really very good!

Ha ha I wish I have husband like him :) that why I made for me one virtual now while I am single so I can play more with him..from today he can talk only if I make him talking.. :) Girl Power!!!

"Oki Doki GWeb here you go! please think about that this are only test view and not final textures so it can looks little funny sometimes and in some areas" Yep bright background sometimes can make it look funny. Dark tends to hid some things. I do not recommend to practice with dark background for final render. I like lights because I can see it better ;)

LOL :) That's the power of poser, you can make your perfect mate and they can't talk back.

Awesome! Are the hair part of the texture or a stand alone prop?

Wow, this is a free, default Poser character? That looks like a photo.

Weezie, Cath has been around these parts for a very long time - one of the real "old timers" (but not real old! LOL). She will no doubt continue to impress you over and over again. 8-)

Catharina, Do you find it odd that neither figure has a "Lips" material zone? I don't think I like that too much. :)

.

Netherworks , you are right.. I can't find the all standard material zones and that is funny, I don't have personally problems with because most of my textured models of my customer don't have the material zones.. but ok I can make for me a copy, so if that is possible maybe I will make a new cr2 files with new material zones as well with the male character it get simple but with the girl not because we can't make a glossy lips or add bump maps too.. but I love the character and I love the model as well the rest we can create self in 10 min or? I love to create and play around with this stuff.. it make more interestig for me...

Really? That's a bit weird. shouldn't take long to fix in the grouper though.

Deecey, I know Cath years ago in D3P forum and in her personal forum. She might not remember me because I am not very known in the community.

Cath, looks really excellent. Can you tell me if the specularity on his skin (the forehead, nose, and under the eyes) is from material settings and scene lights, or if it's "baked" into the texture itself? In other words, would this texture work in animation, where the lighting situations in the scene vary? Often times I find that some of the best textures are virtually useless for animation, because they have specularity baked into the texture, which as you know, doesn't look right under different lighting situations. Either way, it's a great job on texturing James! I think James is one of the best male characters to hit Poser in a long time.

Yeah, I was playing around with the default Jessi texture and adding some noise and turbulance for mottling the skin and I was going the lips and said "um ok, where are the lips!". I wanted to add a little gloss there. It should be on a new zone to add lighting effects. :D Catharina, that texture looks awesome. My wife peeked over and said "man, that looks REAL!"

.

EXCELLENT work ! :-O stahlratte

maxxxmodelz I will include all maps separate so specular will be separate so you cna use for animation, I work in preview mode that why you see the all highlight, after this the color diffuse textures are reworked to matt and the specular do own job.. we don't want high lights reflections on our color textures that was good for poser4 tp play with ... and I go to set a little professional free package so a little bit trust please :)

This is by far the best render/texture that I've seen on the Jamester...excellent work Catherine!

My idea of rebooting is kicking somebody in the butt twice!

I'm telling you, the fun is just beginning. Why CL did not hire Cath to do the textures and promo images and some of the other folks here to do the rigging for Jessi is beyond me. Cath, your James texture and renders are lookin' MIGHTY fine. ::::: Uploading reality animator, male, to cath so she can have James whisper in her ear. ::::: ::::: Opera :::::

Most times, folks put more weight on the renders that actual USERS do, anyway. It's REALLY nice to see what the masters can do, but if "regular folk" can do good renders too that is a sure selling point. 8-)

Stunning texture!

" This is by far the best render/texture that I've seen on the Jamester..." As far as pure realism goes, it's probably the best render/texture I've seen done on any Poser character in a long time.

Ok I did for you a preview with separate channels so you can see that the light works amazing... I use the real photos to make the right specular and bump maps.. I have well some work on the ears because theu are not perfect UV mapped as the rest of the head and the top is not perfect too but ok for me no problem I can fix this as well..

look on this one.. I made just test with the light to show the exact work of the specular with bump maps and it works very fine.. :)

....DROOLFLOOD.... I want my Poser 6 now! I'm broke for the entire rest of the month because I preordered P6, and it hasn't even shipped yet. sigh I wants... My own... My prrrecioussss....

KEWL....

Dear Cath,

What did Rodolfo whisper in the ear
of Mimi when her eyes stole his heart in an instant?

ed i miei sogni usati
e i bei sogni miei,
tosto si dileguar!
Ma il furto non maccora,
poich vha preso stanza
la dolce speranza!

Now all past dreams have disappeared.
Beautiful dreams I'd cherished,
immediately vanished without a trace!
But the theft does not wound me deeply,
because, in their room they have
been replaced by sweet hope

La Boheme, by Giacomo Puccini, Act 1
Free samples, click link below
and scroll down to sample area

Above poem is in sample Disc 1, sample 8
Mimi's response and flirting, is in sample 9
and the moment they fall in love, sample 10

Samples of Rodolfo and Mimi [opens in new window]

Your "James" is beautifully masculine...this
sequence is probably the most intensely
masculine 'love moment' in Opera

Enjoy while texturing.

::::: Opera :::::

It's very impressive - sure beats the crap outta Mike anyway.

Thank you operaguy, very beautiful and I know La Boheme :) 8. La Boheme: Act One - Che gelida manina is very very beautiful!!! thanks for sharing the samples... I listen with pleasure again.. and the part you wrote in English I just request a record for mimic.. se we go to see if James can amaze us or not! :P

Salute, Cath. Go for it. ::: og :::

do you know maybe who created James figure for Poser6 ?

_________________________________________________________

"Surrender to what it is - Let go of what was - Have faith in what will be "

I'm looking at the light direction chart and I can't believe this is Poser. It really has grown up. Of course, this is Cath's texture and, my gosh, nobody does it better. Hon, your low resolutions are better than most people's super duper high res stuff. James is super hot though. Emily

Great work, But what up with the lazy eye? Is that a problem in the mesh?

no it is not the mesh problem.. that was just a quick 15 min test... the final work come without lazy eye :)

"Surrender to what it is - Let go of what was - Have faith in what will be "

I love the facial hair, and especially the scar under the lips. The lighting is looking very good!

Attached Link: Poser6 light Realizm

I make some test into Poser6 with image based lightings and all the magic.... the hand are still the old James one so I wait until tomorrow to make a new hand textures too .. the textures are made for the day light but as you see in the image it works amazing with the IBL... no matter what for color of light and the AO works excellent.. it match so nice without any post work I hope you like... I go tomorrow to finish this freebie with one IBL AO scene and the Casual new James for Poser6..

"Surrender to what it is - Let go of what was - Have faith in what will be "

Good work Cath :) It is nice to know that P6 can offer most of the realism renderer. Also it is good to know that it has most of the lights for my cartoon projects to get most out of 3D environment. Thanks, GWeb

Cath, your work is amazing. Good stuff in Poser 6 to play with. Yay!!!!

Your specialist military, sci-fi, historical and real world site.

I really liked that image, Cath. Especially the one in the middle :)

thanks, the IBL is really fantastic I don't expected this will works this way.. I just render now animation to see how this looks like.... here one of the animation frame with the new James head textures I made... More tomorrow :) Thanks to your all for the nice comments !!!! Cath

Holy [censored!] that is some amazing work there.

Cath, thank you for your efforts in showing us guys who dont have P6 yet, what it can do. But can we see the effect of the lighting without specular and shadowing on the origonal image you projected. One thing I really cant stand is when the sheen is panted onto a texture as I have purchased several sets which have the specular on the colour maps which is pointless, as it will never dissapear! Another problem is when merchants have contours on the skin, which when the object is rotated dont look right from the side as the geometry does not match. Each time this happens I feel cheated as I could have projected any texture of myself on from the front and it look great and perfectly realistic, Please dont take this badly but I find it is very hard to tell what exactly poser is contributing to your maps. But I really like the look of the character, will you be selling it as a pac when finished?

"Don't do it with an axe, get a chainsaw"

He looks really cool :)

Totally cool...you're doing a terrific job with this, and I'm learning from your posts even without having Poser 6 yet!

Message edited on: 03/23/2005 22:48

dagmath , no highlights are not painted ... see the last image I used only color without specular and bumps.. the package as free to download from ym website tomorrow.. I have to finish only the hands.. I will upload scene with light + the Poser6 casual james character with new text.head and hands textures... that is all!! I will create also in the future commercial textures for james because he is excellent.. but for tomorrow I plan only to share with you some excellent free stuff and nothing more :) he will looks from all angles great.. I render now animation so you can see how great it looks in IBL AO :)

Fantastic work, as always!

You need to blur your background image of the house just a little tiny bit to get some depth of field in there, otherwise fantastic work gurl:)

Wow - James looks awesome. Thanks for the tips and for freebies. Looking forward to them. :o) Carol

Catharina, I'm glad to see your amazing work again on the Renderosity forum!!!! I have your V3 textures- that were available a few years ago on your old website (before the great crash). I think there was at least one more I'd wanted to buy- but your site went down just before I had the chance. I was doing render tests and animations in Lightwave with radiosity rendering and your textures were unrivaled. Do you stll have them all? I can email you all the ones I have if not. Eric

 Does anyone have this texture? I would love to have it. Or was it even released?

I dunno but clicking on Mec4D's FreeStuff link doesn't take us to anything free that I can see. This is an OLD thread though.

Wow. He is going to be stunning once you are done with him :)
