"I love the marketing presentation, first off...a bit new from the norm. The entire character is presented very well."

So it is now the marketing presentation that "needs mention"?

Can we next recommend beautiful avatars? It would be less spam.

Attached Link: Super Burger Pak

Yes, it's a nice presentation. Looks like a cover for a teen magazine. Obviously a lot of work went into creating it. Personally though, I get so unexcited about the never ending flood of Poser female stuff. I like seeing something different with lots of choices/options. My vote for one of the best MP items this past year is for the Super Hamburger Pak. Yeah, I know. How often do you need a burger in your scene. But dang! If you do, this burger pak has you thuroughly covered with every kind of topping and bun imaginable. And it comes with Fries!!! Yum! :lol:

{sigh} Is that photographed-in reflections I see in the eyes? :blink: Oh well, I suppose it doesn't matter. Based on what one sees in the marketplace, it's still a requirement to have them in the eye colourMaps, for some inexplicable reason. I even purchased a set from a vendor, asking her if she'd be willing to send me the original ones (the images before inserting the reflections) and she seemed puzzled: why would I want that?

The vendors don't read the forums, that's clear. Or we'd see a lot less of this.Or maybe not, because those that require burnt-in reflections don't read these forum either.

Otherwise, a stunning character.

Those can be removed right?

I find them utterly useless as well

but users of older poser versions might like them

they are in separate channels

in my rendering program and are promply deleted

Yes, Wolf, you can get rid of them with an effort, but it requires cloning and detail work.Oh well, the market drives this stuff, and the market is largely ignorant about stuff, so... can't really blame the vendors, I suppose.

This may be a popular trend for current offerings, but I think plenty of V3 products had "plain" colored eyes. I like using older products when possible. The system requirements are usually much less. I would think at least some vendors read the postings in Marketplace wishing well forum. If folks started posting they would like some eye packs without reflections, I would think someone would create such a pack?

No, because they conflict with the reflections in the eyes of the lights in the scene.

It wasn't an issue until I started using a more enlightened approach to reflections and eye textures. There's heaps of discussions on the topic on here. However, only the fewest of those who frequent the marketplace (Rendo customers) actually come and have a peek in here. It's like we're two different communities. Hence, the profliferation of this sort of thing: most customers want this! Just like burnt-in specualr on the skin: impossible to find a resource kit that doesn't have it.

"I'm sure lot's of people will have fun with her, but I fait to see why she needs to be in my runtime."

She doesn't and won't be in mine either. But I don't think Dave's main point was that everyone needed to buy it. I took it more as a figurative "loks like she needs to be in our runtimes" as a way of describing his enthusiasim for this product.

Irene-

Have you thought to e-mail one of the vendors who's product you like that came with reflections in the eyes and asked about them creating something like that without it? On several occassions I've e-mailed a vender and told them how much I liked their item, but wish it came with this or could they create one like it with these. And bless their hearts! They said, "Good idea!" Not long awards, I got my wish. It seldom hurts to ask someone directly.

Actually, I have. Once I explained why I didn't like/need those photographed-in reflections, she promised me to get me the original images ... haven't heard back from her.

Probably wouldn't hurt to ask a few others, though...

ETA: do you think posting this request on the Vendor forum might have the desired effect, ialora?

As for burned-in reflections (in any product), it's a nice option but I wouldn't want it to be the only option.

...... Kendra

Don't like burned in reflections or baked in speculars. Never have. A lot of eye textures have reflections, though. Bleah.

Coppula eam se non posit acceptera jocularum.

I dunno... I've always found Rebelmommy's characters to have more personality than most, and much less Barbi-esque. This pack certainly has body morphs you don't find very often.

As far as baked-in eye reflections, it's a minor point, especially in comparison to the good textures, interesting face, body morphs, and number of options she comes with.

You can say all female characters are Digital Barbis. It all depends on what you do with them before you hit Render.

We must have vastly differnt opinions of what defines Barbi. That is a darned fine render, and an interesting face. Too bad she's not eligible for America's Next Top Model. And, as I said, what you do before rendering makes the difference. Just because you like a face doesn't mean you can have a mess-around with it.

I use both reflected and non-reflected textures, if that's the right terminology. I do whatever needs to be done to get away from that blank stare we all love :) It would be great if the vendors included both types with a character, though.

And yes....i was merely stating my excitement on this product. I thought it was somewhat unique with the eyelashes ... the body morphs, a ton of very nice eyes, etc. The face is beautiful...and yes, there are a ton of the same everywhere..and I sometimes think to myself, there are so many look alike characters, why bother? How many can you deal with? Other than portraits and stuff, who needs them all?

But certain characters just sort of strike me..this one did, most of Phoenix1966 stuff does.. Syyd's Sky over at RDNA is great, most of Mec4D stuff... SteffyZZ when she was around.... what every happened to Stefania anyway?

I rarely use the textures with the included face.. I like to dial up my own, so i use a combo of heads, faces, morphs, etc.

I have to say, I rather like the pic posted above. Much better than many recent V4 characters I've seen. I haven't bought many V4 characters because most of 'em seem lousy IMO. This one, however, is pretty good.

Cute face and a fun presentation. Thanks for pointing her out Dave. Though perhaps I should point out that the 'Look' thing doesn't initiate a 3D page turning effect and the lines of text at the bottom are too close together, all so Web 1.0, but I guess if it sells - just to stay in the spirit of things :-)

"Democracy is a pathetic belief in the collective wisdom of individual ignorance." - H. L. Mencken

its good to think a bit outside the box, as RM does here. The sameo sameo marketing presentations get a bit old after looking at, what, several thousand, V4 characters :)

Why would I even buy any of them at this point? Something needs to stand out, and at this point, it needs to be almost human or something. At least a different presentation catches your eye. Will I buy this one? Probably not, I already have at least 40 V4 characters, maybe more.

I asked Amy (RebelMommy) if she was planning on doing makeups without speculars because I always render in Vue or Max and prefer to do the highlights etc. there. Within a couple of hours I had them!

I have a lot of her characters and they are all very good. Good customer support too

I prefer no reflections myself, or, like Kendra, would prefer that it not be the only option. Hence the reason I tend to mix and match between textures, and why I tend to purchase eye texture packs (when they can be found, anyway), that offer multiple options.

Do I not browse the Marketplace enough? This is a lovely character IMHO. And, despite a looming plumbing bill, I'm raiding Rebelmommy's store today. RM Aubry looks sassy enough for a Full Throttle Render, and I have to have RMTH Laura, 'cause Angelina rocks. There a couple of others that are great faces, but I can't conjure up any images they'd fit. Think I'll add this new one, too, if for nothing else than the textures.

Barbie clones seem to be more rampant in Hollywood than in Poser. You know you're getting old when they all seem like 'the brunette one' or 'the blonde one'... dozens of surgically altered Stepford starlettes. Ah... for a good Kate Hepburn face once in a while...

"Ah... for a good Kate Hepburn face once in a while..."

Now that would provide some non-Babiesque variety to the Poserverse, though I've always been partial to Bacall myself. Doubt that too many of today's content producers know who they are much less what they look like :-)

Photos of the great actresses of the past are plentiful. Sounds like a good suggestion for the MP wishing well. I would probably buy a morph/texture pack of great old stars (both male and female). Oh, wait! I have some of the male ones, but not any of the classic female stars. Aren't their any out there already?

To bad we couldn't get the Vendors to have an option for a burnt in reflection AND a non-reflection option. It hasn't been that long ago since vendors started breaking up the make up options give give their sets more versitality, you would think that they would want to make their sets more appealing to a greater number of customers.

The problem with non-burnt-in specularity is it's a camera thing. Skin has oil, and is going to reflect light depending on the lighting. Hard to remove, although there's a thread on here where Bagginsbill has come up with a solution to remove it. But it would be good to have skin without shine and eye textures without reflections. Even as an option. I would *definitely pay extra for it!

That's a good Audrey Hepburn allright, but I'd rather have a Katerine Hepburn. Especially an older Katherine. I like characters with character and age lines. Too many perfect looking Vickie, Stephanie, etc.'s out there. Arduino's Lee Van Cleaf and Clint look-alikes are another favorite of mine. :biggrin:

allright..why have i not gotten any email updates to the now different thrust of the thread?

Going away products? Too many anyway...or should I say too many that are tooo much the same. How many textures for V4 do we need really ?

Bowie and feminine...I think a lot of the m4, m3 and whatever characters look feminine..at least the way they're posed in the marketing images. A lot of the rock stars look pretty fem to me as well. of course in the 80s with all the glam stuff going on, it was really pronounced.

Reanimating this because I found Bacall and a host of others. V01f mentioned celeb morphs in another thread, so credit to him/her. The artist Werts at ShareCG has Bacall, Liz Taylor, Ingrid Bergman, Edw. G. Robinson, Eastwood, Natalie Wood, Kirk Douglas, Star Trek characters and more. These are different from Mogadeet's famous morphs. They are for V4/M4 and come in .obj format so you have to load them 'manually' (though someone has started making inj morphs for some of them as well). Haven't tried any of them yet but some of them look very nice.

Goto http://www.sharecg.com/index.php and search for "Werts" - there are almost 30 pages thanks to sharecg's insane multiple listings, but it's worth it to wade through them to find all the goodies. The ones converted to inj format by Marieah are here:

Take a look at the inside cover of the vinyl release of "Aladdin Sane". Many people remarked at the time how much he looked like Bacall. Naturally, people change over time and the resemblance is slight - if at all - now.

I never uploaded the morph/texture to Freestuff but I did send it out to a few people on request, some years ago. I allowed redistribution, too. Since it doesn't seem to have propagated, I'll pack and upload to Freestuff in the next few days. Keep in mind it's for Mike 2 but the morph may work on Stephanie, as will the texture.
