To bad James I never got an adequate wife and kids.

James I, Koji I and Miki I were the only Poser meshes I was really impressed with the sculpting and expression morphs. Ok, the rigging pretty much s*cked, but that's another story.... :-)

So here's what I did:

First some re-scaling to achieve more realistic proportions. Default James I is as ridiculously tall as M3.

Then some texture brightening and re-coloring to get rid of the dark orange suntan.

Added a "nostril" material zone to prevent the nose from SSS-blueing.

Then some SSS shaders. (Modified EZSkin)

Then some weightmapping to get rid of the bulgy shoulders and some morphbrush work to lower the armpits. (Mirror now actually WORKS !)

Finally changed the skinning method to Unimesh and set subdivision to 1.

The eyeballs had stray vertices so I excluded them from subdivision.

I think he looks pretty good for 41.400 polys including clothing.

Again, too bad there were never good kids and a good female mesh to accompany with him. James-I had a lot of potential that was never really used...
