The 'Fallen Angels, Restless Wraiths' package not only gives you a set of textures for unimesh, Angelyna wings, Primal Windy Hair, DAZ cuffed tail and some other bits, but includes 260 MAT poses for a wide range of transparency and luminous effects. You can use the textures provided, or use the effects on textures you already own. Create a whole range of ghostly effects straight out of the box! (And even more if you want to change the settings a bit...)cyllan posted Fri, 30 September 2005 at 12:46 AM

Lovely effects... but I don't use the unimesh figures. Any chance of something similar for James and Jessi?

It's a possibility, but maybe not in time for halloween this year! If I was to do this, which hair figures do people like to use with James and Jessi? The existing pack includes DAZ cuffed tail, Primal Wild and Windy, Koz long, Koz All Back, and Laques hair. Do people use these with James and Jessi, or would you be wanting a whole new set?

With Wardrobe Wizard we can fit many hair figures between all the supported models. Netherworks has hair fits, too, IIRC. I've got a few pieces from RDNA, and several from the Marketplace here (Aeris, Elleana), as well as items like the original Vicki Changing Pony Tail which can be made to look "period", but my tastes may not be typical. In any case, Koz hairstyles are quite popular. For ghosts, one would want something antique in the set (at least one Victorian) as well as something long and drifty. If there was something suitable for children or teenagers, that would be a plus (very little is more pathetic or emotionally compelling than a child's ghost), but I suspect that anything suitable for an angel would work on a child. despite being dyslexic, I'm sure it isn't the other way around, since I've not seen an angel with bowl cut or pigtails. ;^) Carolly

Thanks for your feedback. I'll be taking it all into account pretty soon, once I've finished a couple of projects I'm working on now. The textures in the current pack would work for the Matt, Maddie, Luke and Laura, although I try to avoid younger people altogether in my promos cos then i have to worry less about which bits I've got covered.

Understood! Years ago, for King's Quest 4, I animated a naked cupid flying in all directions, landing, swan-diving, swimming, dripping, and taking off again. Nothing showed, except his plump little butt, but today there are witch-hunters who'd point to a drip-drying boy and hop up and down about what might be implied. Even gods and angels need diapers these days. :sigh: The pendulum will swing again. Meanwhile, I have heard that the blue cloths covering the statues of Justice have been removed. Hallowe'en is so much fun... and I'm glad that the ghosts and ghouls get a chance to come out and party... but ghosts can be invoked at Christmas, too (poor Scrooge!), so there is a wider window for marketing.
