As I'm penciling the ideas for my next project, I think I want to make something for Apollo... Here's your chance to make suggestions, let me know what may interest you...
Clothes, shoes, accessories, textures?
I'm not the best at morphs, and hair yet.

(Since I'm not dead set on becoming a merchant, the likelyhood of it being a freebie is really high!)

Since I'm still on my 'victorian kick' perhaps some period or steampunk stuff?
At least that's more likely to catch my attention at the moment, but who knows...

Oh, yes, please.  Some Oscar Wylde/Beau Brummel stuff, Edwardian, Steampunk...that would be absolutely lovely.  There is precious little out there aside from the one basic set for M3 and the few variations...so more would be better for our Apollo, I believe.  He is, after all, the better man...

Whilst not Victorian, the clothing item of choice I have the most hankering for, as reards Apollo, is a trenchcoat. That said, anything offered would be much appreciated!

ClawShrimp posted Tue, 29 May 2007 at 7:00 PM

Apollo's clothing packs already cover the leather pants and boots. You'd just have to texture them yourself Tiari. Easier said than done ;).

What I think Apollo is screaming out for is a business shirt. Or maybe that's just me :).

How about some sci-fi clothing or armor. Or maybe even an alien character pack.

ClawShrimp posted Tue, 29 May 2007 at 8:01 PM

I know I sound like a broken record, but Apollo's free clothing pack can be adapted to a very decent Sci-Fi uniform. I'll find Anton's example and post it here.

Armour would be great, and it wouldn't be too hard to at least adapt a chest plate from the default Vest. There are armour morphs included. All you'd need is a decent displacement map for fine detailing.

Carodan has a great Alien character, but unfortunatley it requires the Cole morph pack.

A business shirt would be very cool, there's never enough of those!

Seeng your name in the thread reminded me that since seeing the apollo character in your gallery, I keep envisioning him in a heavy weathered blacksmith apron, workpants, shirt with rolled up sleeves. :)

One model I already have in the pipeline is a Daisy Duke type outfit for V3 (maybe V4 too)... I may have to have Apollo outfit to match...

Good thing about adapting the clothing to sci-fi, being that's one of the areas where I suck ;)

Scrubs are pretty basic and could be easily adapted from other items, or are you referring to something more like a lab coat?

PhilC has a great dynamic lab coat that can be creativley scaled to fit most characters.

Having said that, if there were one designed specifically designed for Apollo, it could then easily be adapted to fill a host of needs. A lab coat can become a trenchcoate or long leather jacket with little fuss.

Since your still on your period kick I would love to suggest a lovely Poet's shirt with big puffy sleeves with nice drapes and natural looking folds.  An option for a collar with laces that are separte so they can be turned off or left on and a tuck morph to tailor the shirt to just about any pant in Apollo's wardrobe.  Nice flat UV's to go along with it so texturing is easy with little or no stretching .. 

That's about my only wish at the moment... Oh and a nice hooded cloak, conforming, of course, with lots of movement and adjustment morphs.  Same UV request as above.

The pagan in Apollo is calling out for these items.  He wants to put a spell on you.. and you and you over there too!! 😉

OK, I'll be quiet now..... :lol:

Actually, the clothing pack doesnt cover it, sorry.  It has boots, it has pants, and I've textured them with leather.  But neither are the right "shape" for a young male (low rise boot cut pants, engineer boots with buckles and rings).

Yes the items could be adapted (with a lot of painting and postwork), but its not the same item.


Conniekat8 posted Wed, 30 May 2007 at 11:54 AM

Hmmm, a trenchcoat could easily be made into a lab coat, into a uniform overcoat... just depends on how it's morphed and detailed...  Hmmm....  And Victorians used a lot of overcoats too... Hmmm Hmmm....

Hooded cloak? I'm not envisioning that one well, got pictures?

Start modeling fully clothed figures so that you can then pop on the head. Conforming clothing is a silly, inefficient concept. It's long past time that dog was put to sleep.

@jjroland

A really valuable resource for your poser toolkit are the netherworks hair conversion kits, there's one for Apollo at Content Paradise. It is really easy to convert hair props from Michael 1-3 or Victoria 1-3 to Apollo. The conforming hair conversion is a tad more detailed but very easy as well.

It's fairly inexpensive for the resources it will open up for your figures.

jjroland posted Wed, 30 May 2007 at 8:12 PM

I think Ramwolf actually pointed me to that previously.  The problem I have with that, or reason I haven't gotten it is because I have literally zero hairs for men as it is.  All I ever seem to find are 'long hair pretty boy styles'.  I'm not knocking the whole pretty boy thing, I just like my men to be men : p

I've tried the hair room too, it's a nightmare.  For as long as it takes to render that stuff it should come out looking a WHOLE lot better than it does.

ClawShrimp posted Wed, 30 May 2007 at 8:41 PM

Couldn't agree more JJ.

I have very little in the way of masculine hair. This is why most of my characters remain bald!

The only time I've used the hair room for anything half way decent was for facial stubble, and I have to admit, that was when my standards were significantly lower :).

byAnton posted Wed, 30 May 2007 at 10:13 PM

Thanks Connie for doing something. I am sure anything you do would be wonderfl and appreciated.

Shoes are really an easy thing for Apollo, not really needing any morphs and such. If you plug them into his boot cr2 or shoe cr2 you can get all the scaling. If you need any help I am always able and willing to help with cr2 stuff.

Dynamics are great too. When I made the original V3 Hooded Cloak 01, it started as a semi circle and I made the obj from blending various clothification morphs. In the end I found a semi circle really works well.

The hood part will like to slide on the head, so blending various attempts works great for a final obj shape. That is if you end up doing a cloak.

If you do shoes. I like these.
1850's fashion w/spats

and this modern shoe

Regardless of what you do. Let me know if I can help at all and thankie very much.

Not only are tuts hard to come by but books as well - went to 3 bookstores Monday and couldn't find one book on 3d modeling.  I know I probably could on Amazon but for somethings in life I still prefer the RL method : p

I got a sub to this:

for tuts, and so far I feel it was well spent $$.  Not much either 30$ for one month.

@Anniebel, I'm sorry if I'm being a bit dense, what kind of tutorials are you interested in? On cinema or modeling in general? If you elaborate a little, maybe I can get you some info...

@Anton - First of all THANK YOU for creating such an amazing character, and then making it free - it's heaven!!!  I was planing on contacting you once I get past concepts and ideas and the roll with creating stuff for Apollo - if that's allright!
A well functioning and swirling cape may be a nice technical challenge for me to do, ahem, eventually. The basic shape is quite simple, but making the mechanics function well, I'll have to chew on that for a little bit. May take several attempts.
In the meantime, I'll probably make a few less complicated pieces, like some shoes, apron etc...  
Love the links you posted. I was just listening to one of the classic victorian literature audiobooks, and remember the description about pointy men's shoes, where the fashion was that the longer the point, the bigger the status symbol...

@jjroland - books are great, I end up buying a stack of them. 
Another thing I like to get when I'm researching a product to make is some of books with pictorial archives, Dover is one of the publishers. LOL, that's my weekend wake-up drive, to the bookstore, then I sit there, drink my diet coke, and dig through books and magazines for ideas.

Both really, I only got started in Cinema6 because it was free, but because it is such an old version, tuts are hard to come buy. I guess it would be the same as looking for Poser 3 tuts LOL

I have also got Hexagon2 & Carrera but am embarassed to say I have not got around to opening them yet. I guess I probably need too, as I am probably sure there would be more tuts for them than Cinema6

Tell ya what, I would HIGHLY recommend hexagon for subdivision modeling, it is rather quick to learn, quicker then 3D Max, or Cinema or even as cararra (I have experience with all of the above), plus hexagon has a set of video tutorials that came with it, which are really slick.

The only mistake I made with hexagon is to keep it untouched for several months after downloading, being too skeptical!!!  

Things that you leran in hexagon, you'll be able to transfer to other applications like Cararra or Cinema. Even the interfaces sort of resemble one another.

Also baggy knee pants - either in Knickerbocker, golf duffer, or Elizabethan Venetian breeches style - or all 3 .

@ Conniekat8  What would you suggest as the best source for absolute beginners tutorials to get started with Hexagon?  Like you, I downloaded it long ago, but unlike you I still haven't gotten into it.

@ Conniekat8  What would you suggest as the best source for absolute beginners tutorials to get started with Hexagon?  Like you, I downloaded it long ago, but unlike you I still haven't gotten into it.

For absolute beginners... hmmmm...
the video tutorials that came with Hexagon are great for finding where and how certain things in hexagon work, for example how to add or delete a line or a face, what steps to go through to extrude or edge loop. I found those a lot more helpful then the manual itself.

The first part of the battle, IMO, is knowing what tool to use where. That comes from scouring tutorial and videos on subdivision modelling. My personal favorites are video tutorials available on Zbrush Central: http://206.145.80.239/zbc/index.php
Another place I go to for a lot of tutorials (besides this place) is 3D Total http://www.3dtotal.com/.  There seems to be quite a few subdivisiom modeling tutorials around! 
Places like: http://www.subdivisionmodeling.com/forums/index.php   and  http://www.polyloop.net/

Learning the terminology is also a good part of the battle for an 'absolute beginner'

I hope that helps a little bit... You asked me a pretty broad question there ;)

Is this going to be like Anton's clothes, in that it will contain all scaling and morphing options, or is it going to be a 'fixed' clothing prop?

Well, I was thinking that I should make it with a few morphs, but not having done pieces with a lot of morphs I find it a tad overwhelming trying to figure out which morphs to make it for.
So, if there are morphs that you'd like to have included, now is a good time to infuence me ;)

something 300ish would be way cool.


ClawShrimp posted Tue, 05 June 2007 at 2:32 AM

300-ish is already pretty much covered with Anton's free clothing packs, and being creative with other freebies :).

Connie, ideally there'd be ALL of the scaling and ADS options that Apollo has to enable fitting to any and all characters...but I imagine this is a fairly large task (I really have no clue).

As for non character specific morphs, I'd really love to see the obligatory  movement morphs. If my rugged manly-man has his foot on a stool for instance, it'd be nice if the apron didn't cut his leg in half.

Come to think of it, perhaps a dynamic/conforming hybrid would be better. This is all easy for me to say as I have zero clue about what goes into modelling a prop like this.

Regardless, whatever you come up with Connie, I'll be sure to make an image of it.

If I'm right, doesn't the new AM2007 pack come with clothing 'donor' .cr2's established, so you can use them for your rigging of the clothing item? this way, all the scale and morphing dials that Anton has created are automatically in place for you.

Of course, having next to no knowledge of the set-up room, I don't know if this is what would actually happen if you used them - but that was my understanding of it.

Good pointer. Actually, I mentioned either here, or elsewhere, in response to Anton that i plan on contacting him on technical details... once I have my marbles together enough to ask semi intelligent questions.
(as I'm thinking out loud here) one of the questions that is building up is about morph targets, if he has any goodies that make it little easier to develop content for Apollo then for DAZ or Efrontier figures.
BUUUT... I have a lot more research and studying up to do on my own first.
For example, fitting the clothes on various figure morphs, I don't relish the idea of hand morphing each piece to fit the morphs, there's dozens of morphs.
I'll have to contact Phil C and see if wardrobe wizard is OK to use for something like that.... (technically and from a license point of view)

@jjrolland... LOL, it;s so true ;)  I was cruising Vogue Patters website the other day wondering how apollo would look in an outfit like this one:  http://www.voguepatterns.com/item/V1753.htm?tab=men&page=1

Another thinking out loud post....
I may try to approach this is to to have is fully rigged and morph loaded apollo in Max, and then run cloth simulations on clothes pieces there... then export morphs to Poser...
Well, we'll see, I'll experiment some...

A Character Morph? I hear you're really good at character morphs ;)

Lady Apollo would be interesting.... I'll have to grow some character morphing skills for that. It's beyond what I can do just yet.
It would be cool if someone makes it!

I'd really like to see more hair for apollo, and more skin textures and morphs. The lack of clothing can be solved with Clothing Converter or CrossDresser.

I echo the need for a buisness suit for Apollo, though I like the backsmith thing--unless you're doing farm scenes I don't think it's something we can get a lot of use out of.  Poser world had a nice set of cover-all that could be retextured to leather for such purposes.  

A nice suit with a top coat would be excellent.  The top coat could h ave trench coat textures.  Some day Apollo might like to get married, hold an excutive position, or even just go out to the theater--he really needs something to wear for those occassions.


cedarwolf posted Thu, 26 July 2007 at 10:11 AM

Wow, Stormchaser...is that Apollo-ette?  When will she be available to the group?  That's a great looking morph you've come up with there.

Hmmm...guess we'll need a whole new wardrobe for her, right?  Or at least morph sets for existing clothing?   Not being a modeler myself, I don't fully comprehend the work involved here, I can barely get a cube using the primitives.

Again, let me thank everyone in the community for all their hard work, without which I would probably just be sitting on my porch wishing I had a hobby that didn't involve yard work, power tools, or stress.


stormchaser posted Thu, 26 July 2007 at 10:28 AM

Thanks cedarwolf. I would like to eventually put one of my morphs up as a freebie, maybe the woman in the mentioned picture. Problem is I may have my internet cut off soon so I can't think that far ahead.

"Hmmm...guess we'll need a whole new wardrobe for her, right?"

I've been told she looks fine naked. Who am I to argue!! :woot:

I'd have to see a wireframe of the firgure to know for sure if she came from Apollo.


stormchaser posted Thu, 26 July 2007 at 10:46 AM

RAMWolff - She's V3, but I morphed her in V3 Next Generation 2 & injected the full morph into V3 SAE. You see, there are things I can do within NG2 that I can't within SAE.  Her face, chest & hip/thigh area are really heavily morphed beyond the base. I'm also currently smoothing out features with the morph brush tool.



RAMWorks posted Thu, 26 July 2007 at 10:58 AM

She looks quite good.  I've never been a fan of V3 but this looks quite good.  Congrats on your success!! 😄

Thanks RAMWolf. Virtually every muscle group found within V3 has been morphed here, I've found this best to give the overall impression of body shape, plus I do scale some parts as well to add that extra dimension.

BTW, sorry for this not being Apollo related.

Doh...For whatever reason (most likely my brain  is not working properly tonight) I can't acces those freebies. :( Well they look really nice in the preview anyway. I'll try to dl those again tomorrow. But I'll agree with those who wanted a t-shirt for apollo. I am too kinda tired with the tanktop.A proper T-shirt for Apollo would be nice. :) I mean there is only so many renders you can do with the tanktop.

I see my original photo was deleted, probably because of who was in the pic so here it is again without the face.

Still like to have a shirt like this.

And Connie, what ever happened to the chaps you were working on at one time?


cedarwolf posted Sat, 12 January 2008 at 10:20 AM

Lessee...I think I would like to see...Mal's outfit from the Serenity Movie and the Firefly series.  I know that Apollo is physically larger than Mal, but the outfit, including the boots, suspenders, and gunbelt would be just wonderful.  If you could toss in that Browncoat of his, that'd be shiny!

I submitted them to freestuff last night (friday night), it usually takes renderosity a day or two to make them available in the freebies. So, if they're not there today, I'm pretty sure they'll be there tomorrow.
Usually I get an email bot telling me they've been posted, so I'll give you guys heads up post when I get it.

Outfit can also be made for a specific body style, and morphs for that body style could be included in the package.

I have to remodel that logging cabin if I were to use it in Poser. It's one of my early pieces with a lot of glitches. Luckily, Bryce doesn't mind those internal glitches. Poser would have a cow.
Anyway, short answer is, eventually, I'd like to, but it's probably not going to be really soon, since it'll take a bit of time.
