Tony Project Tutorial 01

Diogenes/Phantom3D has posted his first tutorial installment at PoserPlace as promised. This is a rigging, weight-map, and figure preparation tutorial. The subject figure is Antonio, a male counterpart for Antonia~WM.

The participants will help in the development of this figure for the Poser Community. Antonio~WM will need morphs, poses, some more modeling work, textures, clothes, and all of the things that make a figure sucessful. So, even those who are not very interested in rigs and weight-maps are welcome to join in this Poser Community initiative.

Because this is a from scratch figure, anything that needs to be changed can be changed. This is differant from Antonia~WM, and V4~WM. Backward compatibility had to be preserved. It is a fantastic learning opportunity.

What is required of participants? Civility. Treat everyone with respect, and take arguements or off topic debates to another website. Diogenes/Phantom3D is the final arbitrator and decision maker. What he says goes. Let's not distract from the creativity.

Already more than 100 people have accessed the thread. You are all invited to participate. You may not feel that you have much to offer, but everybody brings something to the mix. The more, the merrier

Sorry for the extra post, but a lot of people thought the Antonio thread was another thread about Antonia, and have been skipping it.

This is a very important and exciting development!  :woot:

I sink in my chair.
Pinch my arm.
Think I am dreaming.

FYI : My first name in Tony :-)

Make him Good.
Mke him better, kind and sweet please. :-)

Smith Micro gave us the tools with Poser Pro 2012.

Phantom3D is giving us the instructions, the knowledge, the insights we need how to USE these tools!

He is completing the circle of "Preserving the Freedom to Create Our Own"!!

The Tutorials will be kept up at Poser Place so that when people can drop by to view them, they will be there. Diogenes/Phantom3D is getting the second tutorial ready now, and it will soon be put up. So drop by and join in.

While these tutorials are specific to Poser, particularly, P9/PP2012, Diogenes/Phantom3D has a very broad understanding of the process of model creation. So, anyone interested would get something out of this project.

Tony Project Tutorial 02

Tutorial 02 is now posted in this thread at PoserPlace. All interested parties are invited to participate.

*"This tutorial deals with sculpting and shaping using the weight maps and setting up a helper bone with dependent parameters.

Much better sound and video this time and smaller too. Sorry about tute one being such bad video.

Any questions about this tutorial Please post them in this thread."* Phantom3D.

Please continue to monitor this thread so that I don't need to start a new thread for each tutorial.

For clarification, questions about the tutorials should be posted in the Tutorial threads at PoserPlace. Sorry to not have thought through the logic of giving that quote before posting.

It is okay to spread the news of this on other Poser forums. I cannot possibly find them all, and I can use all the help I can get to publicize this. Any one who would like to add this to a Poser site newsletter may do so. Please?

This is a very exciting. Thank you.
