Oh shoot! BTW, BIG thanks to PsychoNaut for showing me how to hack my skin shader script to work for Miki. I'm grateful!! Laurie

Laurie, what new clothes for Miki?

Francemi, didn't see your question till now! Sorry. No post work on the last pic I posted, my lame attempt at a face texture! lol

In this case, I chaneged iris image map, color of eyelashes, and color (and specular) of fingernails.
Iris texture map is scaled about 86% and it's for V3.
This IBL Light is rebuild from IBL light of P6 with face_off's IBL tutorial.

I also used RealSkinShader and Occlusion Master.

I exported PZ3 file to Vue5I, so the material settings are also exported (like eyelashes color and nailcolor).
I also tested in D|S and Bryce-5.5, but when converting D|S to Bryce, the material settings disapeared.

I agree with pokeydots. What new clothes for Miki on PoserClub? Here's the link: PoserClub Click on "Join Now" (you must be a member to download freebies). Enter: UserName Password email home page Click the button at the bottom. You should have cookies enabled in your browser. :)

OMG, she has "man hands".

I see no Miki Clothes on Poser Club either?

Signed up and never was able to get into the free stuff so gave up. Will wait for Phil to do the ww for her. Marque

I don't believe that's a seam, at least not in the texture map (it's in the middle of the neck and the whole neck is on the tex map). I think it's where the mesh makes a steeper angle than the polys around it. Do you have polygon smoothing on? One thing I usually do as well in Poser 6 is turn the Minimum Shading Rate WAY down - it's default in firefly is 1.00 and I turn it down to 0.02 or even .01 (takes care of that really dirty look you sometimes get with bump maps). Try that. Could be the lighting too ;o). Laurie

Wow TamiL! That looks great :o). I'll definitely have to whip up a few textures for it...LOL. Laurie

LaurieA, thanks, yes I had poly smoothing set on. I will take on board the advice about the minimum shading rate.

I'll include some maps then!

cobaltdream said earlier in the thread: "just to say, if people are worried about morphs and add-ons, she seems to already have some support in the japanese community.i've downloaded at least one item for her from poserclub, i believe, and there are lots of renders with her in their gallery if you want to preview." That's where I assumed there was something for Miki there. I checked and there is a face morph pack there for her; it was just me who assumed/wrongly remembered that it was clothing...LOL. Sorry to get ya'll excited for nothing...LOL. Laurie

Where is the face morph pack? I can't find that either :o( Thanks

too lazy to put this up on my page right now ;)

Face morph pack is at PoserClub as I recall

WOW LaurieA that's a sweet texture, you inspire! I also really like TamiL's clothes All the shots of this character are good You lot are fast!!! Question - Ytetsu - are you the modeler for this figure? Whoever made the figure, I really appreciate it. I've been trying magnets, wings3d, DAZ morphs; trying to get a good asian female and wow, this is it! You really did a superb job. Now if only I knew how to model and texture better... Some practice is in order!

I looked at Poser Club, and I'm not seeing it. What is it called?

Thanks for the nice comments PsychoNaut, but like I said, it looks much better with the shader on it ;o). And thanks for the help in that area. TamiL - Darn, you are quick girl! I'll have to stay up awhile longer now and do some textures :o). Laurie

Pokeydots, Its on page 2 of the download pages. Its called Miki Head Morphs Pack 01. Its right smack in the middle of the page!

pokeydots, here's the direct link for the Miki facemorphs: 2nd Row, center You'll have to log in (if your username/password aren't already stored).

Thanks TamiL! I got it now :) Don't know why it wasn't showing in the downloads for me. I'm registered there, and it said my cockie was ok!

Good to hear! Did ya get my dress too? Its not on my site but will be tomorrow or so! I am a bit behind on my web maintenance!

Yes I got the dress :) Thank you very much! Now I'm trying to figure out the realskin shader tip :) Then I am off to play! Thanks!

Your welcome!

LOl, I love that hat!

Thanks :) Love the dress!!!

Thanks! I did what I could without having a similiar cr2 for Miki to look at!

Didn't get the dress, injected the morphs and miki disappeared. Not real comfortable with that...... Marque

Crashed my P6. Marque

Now she shows up, the dial show up but no morphs. Hrrmmm. Marque

Can someone please bring me some coffee?? sigh lol Marque

How did you use them? They didn't show up for me, just an emtpy dial. Marque

Well, I made sure the .pmd file was installed in the correct folder and then just clicked on the INJ pose. If you look below the FaceMorphs you'll see a new category in the head called Head Morph pack 01 and they're all there, just 11 but at least they're shaping morphs not just the expressins she comes with. Just checked, the .pmd file with the morphs should be in your characters library in a folder called Miki. I suppose if it's not there then maybe the injection pose doesn't work? Oh, and in preferences/Misc, I've unchecked the "Use external binary morph targets" command so I resaved Miki with these new morphs.

Please someone make a long nail morph? Thanks, Marque

expressins=expressions

I can't wait till WW support!

Found it thanks! Sorry to seem tweaked out today, my daughter's wedding is next week, we're in the middle of buying this land and now I end up with pneumonia in August....arrrrgh! Marque Where is that coffee? heh

The Mac version seems to work fine in the face room. I don't know much about the face room and haven't tried to import any face textures, but I can apply the texture from the face room and the morphs work, both the dials and the green dots. I have Poser installed in the default location, the Applications folder, and I installed Miki to my main Poser 6 runtime.

That's the explanation ! They developed it for Mac ! lol (joking)

Well, a lot of Japanese poser artists do use a Mac, so if it was originally set up on one... Who knows? Laurie

That doesn't explain Deecey's success (using WinXP). Let's hope for a resolution on Monday. :) I have Poser 6 on my Mac also, so maybe I can get the file and try it out there (?).
