I have been trying to find a freebie everywhere, and I just can't! Does anybody know where to download one? I'm trying to do Uhura from Star Trek.

There's a free "ethnic pack" of P4 characters at Content Paradise. Many characters for Posette are included.

Try here. LOTS of Posette textures.

Or you can use ANY texture you already have. Just go into the material room and set the Diffuse_Color to a dark gray. Here I've used Jessi's standard texture with Diffuse_Color set to gray 95.

ah man..there's a whole site devoted mainly to Star Trek hairstyles..do a search in Freebies here, under hair. In fact, the home page for it has Uhura holding up an injured crewman..;) but I'm at work, and don't have access to my database..

The changing diffuse_color is not a very good solution because it changes everything. Black skin and Caucasian skin have identical lip, nail bed, sole and palm colors for example... it is very easy to end up with the "Black Barbie"effect where they changed only the color of the plastic. There is a discussion thread of the need for realistic ethnic textures elsewhere in this forum

Oof - I knew I hid her hands for a reason :) I forgot that this was P4 woman. On Vickie you have nails, lips, etc as separate zones which you can control - but not the palm and sole. I didn't think of that.

I had a freebie up some time back for Posette. It was a black texture/character set called, Mahania, but my bandwith took a beating and I had to remove her. If you're interested let me know and I'll give you a link. :)

You know depending on the picture you are making that's a pretty cool trick with the diffuse!

I'd suggest getting either the improved Posette, NEA or AprilYSH's P4VSkin a remapped Posette. Then you can use V2 textures and have a better selection. My favorite free one is Afritex by CMobb. His site seems to be down but you can try sending him an IM. There's also an Uhura morph for Posette somewhere around here if you haven't seen it.

Had to search my files but here is an image of Mahania for Posette. I created her some time ago and had her in free stuff but it killed my bandwidth. Is this something of what you need?

RDNA have a free set of MAT files to adjust the base diffuse colour, combining with a normal texturemap, which can give good results. I think it's for V3. There's no easy way around such things as the problem with palms, but Posette does have lips as a distinct material. If you want to try this, you need to use something a little more subtle than a plain grey.
