Considering AM is reckoned to be one of the most advanced models for Poser I'd be a little more diplomatic if I were you. Mine works just fine in Poser 6. BTW, most Poser content can't be legally resold.

I've used Apollo in both Poser 6 and Daz Studio with no problems. Some of his parameters work a little differently than the standard Poser/Daz figures, but they're easy to get used to. I am going to join Content Paradise just because I want access to more Apollo content at lower prices. The Mil 3 Daz figures are great, but it is difficult to use a group of them in a scene because of their high polygon count, it's good to have an alternative figure that doesn't slow my system to a crawl. Although then native poser people seem to improve with each succesive generation, they usually do only one body type well, the slender Grecian ideal. Unfortunately real humans have a diversity of varrying body types, I think Apollo is a great figure for the money in that he morphs well into other body types.
carodan posted Mon, 13 March 2006 at 4:28 PM
'm1 m2 m3 dave 3 wipe the floor with maximus.' All of whom have had infinitely more support and development than Apollo. I challenge you to strip away everything that didn't come with the base version of each of the models you cite (at the time of their release) and do with them a mere fraction that can be done with the default Apollo package. Your choice of language is uncalled for and totally unfair. At least have the guts to explain your negative reaction.

Apollo is a very different kind of figure. His rigging and mapping are completely new so they are not compatible with your DAZ content. As opposed to clearly defined injection morphs in the unimesh, Apollo has fully reversable morphs. This means that you need to experiment with the morphs rather than relying on stock characters. If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to post them. As an avid Apollo supporter I'm sure I can persuade you to give him a chance.

Joe, Thanks for the kind words regarding Jungle Dude. In order for you to use him, you'll need Apollo Maximus (of course) and the Cole for Apollo Maximus body and face morphs by Capsces. Once you've purchased both of those items, then download my free JungleDude (and Jungorilla) pose files. Apply the Jungle Dude pose to AM/Cole and you'll get the figure seen above. Here's the link to the JungleToons morph pose files...http://homepage.mac.com/leemoon/JungleToonsByLeeMoon.zip
You can find Cole over at ContentParadise along with AM.

'I don't particularily like Apollo's initial look'
My experience with other base figures is limited to Vic3, Michael3, and the P6 defaults. I also only came to Poser in May/June last year.
None of the above figures (except perhaps James) look too impressive to me when you first load them up.
When I first tried Vic 3 after realising that she seemed to be the most widely used female figure, my initial reaction was shock - 'how could she be regarded as superior to Jessie even?'. Michael just made me laugh!
It's the morphing capabilities and sheer volume of content IMO that make them usable.
I actually think Apollo looks great in his default state, and as you say, he's just so easy to find completely different looks for - one base figure for all your male characters. That's so impressive.
And his morphs feel so smooth to use - Vic 3 almost feels clunky when I use her now.

TO THE ORIGINAL POSTER OF THIS MESSAGE...NO max is not realistic looking and never will be, just the same as it was with M3, when he first came out, you have people raving how wonderful a figure he is,BUT, they never use him. ALSO don't let these people bully you, you have every right to speak up and state your disappointment. You'll notice that all posted images that look "realistic" are heads only, Lee Moon's work is beyong excellent, but notice the whimsy characature look which is what Max is actually good for. He is also quite usable fully clothed, if you do nudes, he is not the choice for you. It is quite ok to point out if you don't like a product, the same as it is for them to praise a product, it's your right as a member of this community..Hats off to you

Hi operaguy,
I thought I responded before but must have hit the wrong button. Hair is from Ali. I think it's Hr-013. But it's not right out of the box. I did a lot of work on it.
Texture is Syyd's from RDNA...eyes were free I think and I just can't remember where I got them. If I can remember I'll post that later.

dirk5027 - define 'realistic looking'. '...you have people raving how wonderful a figure he is,BUT, they never use him.' Do you not see the renders on this page. Try visiting the RDNA Apollo Maximus gallery. I ONLY use Apollo for ALL my male characters, and just because you don't see renders in the gallery here, it certainly doesn't mean people arn't using him. As for 'bullying', I resent that. The tone of the original poster's language was aggressive and derogatory to what I consider to be a great product. Had that initial statement remained unchallenged, then others reading this thread might consider the opinion to be qualified by the lack of any response. I'd further I'd note that buzzzloz hasn't bothered to post again to expand on that initial unqualified rant.

cherokee, that first post was so over the top, so totally devoid of any factual information, so perjoritive, and the poster so glaringly absent from discussion, it looks like a troll, smells like a troll. An honest post against the model would have given some facts or interacted. It just happens that some people like to post immature flaming trash posts on something they know others value, then watch for fun while people argue and object. It's on the level of an arsonist that starts fires for 'kicks' and hangs around to watch.

I think there's a difference between showing your frustration and being downright rude. I think it would serve people well to remember that human beings with feelings (as well as professional reputations)make the products we buy (whether we love them, hate them or are indifferent to them). I have absolutely no problem with differences of opinion (or dislike of an item that I happen to like as in this case). In fact I like this - it stimulates useful debate. But statements like '...i have never come across such crap before...' go beyond this. One of my own very first posts on a Poser forum was a bit of a rant (I can't even remember what about now). I seem to remember that I even felt cheated bt some product somehow (might have been about Poser itself, now I think about it), but at no time did I feel the need to use language like is used in the statement above or to not at least attempt to qualify my feelings. Certain language invokes certain types of responses - especially when it's emotive. Aside from a couple of posts above, I feel people's responses have been both engaging and informative about the product being slated. And I've still yet to see any follow up from the original poster.

I think the included Apollo eyes are just fine but prefered Deecey's eyes for the character I did. Thanks very much Deecey, this is a fantastic collection and so many to choose from! I often spend a lot of time switching eye textures just to see how they'll change the character.
I have the original that came with the character, Syyd's that are a part of the texture package, and the ones from Deecey. I haven't tried Actual Eyes. I think the eye white that Deecey did is very real and the variety provided is more than enough to find exactly what you're looking for.
Though it's really just personal opinion, they're all good.
Does the 8-D mean eight days? I have a product in pending for Miki and it just seems to take forever these days.
And as for the rant...the ability to say what you need to say with a certain amount of politeness and consideration helps keep life civilized. Old Southern expression, "You get more flies with honey," generally rings true. And I don't care if that sounds preachy. Even a Troll should know better.

i was trying some animation tests now. and if you use the body morphs in a smart way you can really make it look like the muscles are moving under the skin.
like a muscle rig.
a shoudler moves when you put your arm in the air. so you need to tweak the morphs for the specific pose. we can not have just one body type for every poser. this is not how it works.

One thing though is that his arms are a bit short ( for my taste ), but that can be altered in Poser.
...and we all do look different, don´t we?!
Rendered in Poser PP and pw in Photoshop7.
Texture and facemorph by me.

there is a morph for arm length.
edit: ok i found it:
-lengthUparm
-lengthForearm
at the beginning i also found that hes arms are a little to short. then i startedd to read everythign from anton and he made ADS_Scale body dials.
first we have ADS body dials and then scale. only for scaling.
a lot of people dont notice this so they are not happy with the figure. the most importans thing with apollo is IMO that the base figure is not meant to be used. but you need to have a base figure.
plus tons of face morphs. Blender is getting better and better and its FREE. export OBJ head and model a completely different morph in blender. import and use as a new face morph. a lot of blender tutorials on the internet.

Yep! That was what I meant when I wrote: but that can be altered in Poser!
In fact there´s a bunch of great dials that one can spin and play around with.
I like that! He is very unique.

Apollo was originally a paid-for figure.
When AK ran out of main stores to sell at, he decided to make it free.

That's what happens when people Necro Post to threads years old! Apollo wasn't ALWAYS free, Hell. He cost me $100 back in 2006 when I bought him. I haven't used him more than 10 times since then either.
