I decided I was going to document my progress on making LaFemme into Wonder Woman. Actually, this is going to be 1 of 3 suits I am going to make.

One is already done, and I've posted it. The second one is going to be for a Lynda Carter face and body morph.

And this is the third:

I will be doing some post work on this image and putting it in my gallery.

Any and all props you will see on her, including her hair later on, will be modeled by me.

Nice!

Great character!

Like the head band

Can't wait to get my new computer so I can get back into Poser and play/work with LaFemme. THANKS! These looks wonderful.

Very nice.

Looks great!

Thanks. I am doing all the small stuff first, working from simple to complex. Next will be her arm band, and then the bracelets.

cool!

Half the battle is choosing the right character. You've already done that. I look forward to seeing your design!

I have things scattered over 2 different poser scenes. I am trying to save my morph so I can combine everything into one perfect full body morph and then load it again...

I can only imagine! One thing I forgot that Poser can do is combine more than one scene. I think it bloats the pz3 but I've always been reckless when it comes to hard drive space. Maybe you could combine the scenes. I don't think anything gets overwritten until a save is initiated.

I would end up with two LaFemme figures in the scene. It's better just to try to save the morphs. I got one of them done, and I am working on the second one.

I picked up a Wacom tablet today. I got the Wacom Intuos. It was at Best Buy for $79.00 I think my texture making and modeling, sculpting... is all going to another level once I master it. This was a trial run:

Hey! First good price. Mine cost three times that ten years ago. Second, it looks like you kept your 2d skills! Not bad at all.

Just wait until you see what I am working on now. Its going to be a few days until it's done, but I am really liking the pen and the pressure sensitivity. It brings a whole new level to the work.

Mistakes were made, and most of what I did was a stab in the dark, but it turned out ok. I would never submit this to a contest, but I am still learning the process, and I have to check out some shading and coloring tutorials. All in all, I am very happy with my Wacom tablet.

The bracelets are done. I am going to work on her hand wraps next.

The arm band. I redid the tiara, and I am rendering it now.

The new tiara. I am having issues with the face morph I created. I may dump it and start over, or I will just stay with this face. I am not sure yet. I can't figure out how I created it. All the face morphs I injected were at 0, including Ulrika, which this resembles...

Nice work on the props rokket.

Thanks! I am going to start on the hand wraps next. I will approach them differently than I normally do. I think it will work better.

Rokket! I love the tiara and arm bands and bracers. Nice cartooning too!

Thanks! I am out getting some fresh air. I will be back to model later. The cartooning isn't bad, but I know I can do better once I get the hang of the tablet and learn how to shade better.

I know what you mean about trying to figure out how you did a certain something. I've had to relearn the same texturing solutions because of the dreaded hard drive fail.

That is nice cartooning. Is it done in layers for cell shading?

Bracers and Tiara. They look pretty aggressive. Nice!

No layers. I just did it all on one layer.

This is a shameless bump. My poor thread is getting pushed down to the bottom and no one is seeing that I updated it...

Lets bump it again then.

I will be starting the boots this morning. I will have to stop in about an hour and a half to do a grocery run with a friend, but I will be on this most of the day until I get something I am happy with.

Hmmmm... not sure about this one.

I take it back. It might work. I have to model the back of the shin guard and the knee bracer and the straps, but it's looking decent.

WOW, I miss checking this thread for a couple of days, and you've made a good amount of progress.

Nicely done Rokket, I'm liking what I see.

I can't wait to finish it, but I am not pushing it too hard. I have the back part of the shin guard done, but I have to make the straps and then the knee guard.

Just the 3 straps left to model, but it's bedtime. Tomorrow will be a day without internet access for most of the day. I should be able to get the boots done, and then it's on to the suit itself.

Looking good. I can't wait to see what you do with the suit itself. :)

I have the boots completely done. I will post them when I get off work. I started on the suit. I have the basic swimsuit part of it done.

The boots are done.

Got a start on the suit...

Very impressive work, mate. Your stuff is always the dog's bollocks.

I have to model the belt and skirt, probably as one single piece.

I am also trying to decide if I am going to model the stripes into the suit or just do them as a texture. They are pretty deep:

Thanks, Sam. That's one hell of a compliment!

I happen to agree with Sam. Your work is always top notch.

Anyway, modeling the stripes into the suit would certainly make it more unique, but that would be a whole lot more work than just adding them into the texture.

It would be a no brainer if Superfly could do displacement. But I don't know if I can get the striped deep enough with bump maps. I guess I won't know until I try.

Yeah, modeling it did the trick.

Now onto the skirt and belt

I'm still a n00b when it comes to creating SuperFly materials from scratch, so wasn't aware that SuperFly couldn't do displacement. Have you tried both the Cycles and Physical Surface root nodes?

BTW, the suit's looking good. Nice going on modeling the stripes in.

Thanks, and yes, it was all over the SM forums that Superfly can't do micro displacement. I've noticed the issues when I load older props that are textured with them.

Superfly does Displacement-you simply have to SubD the mesh. Lvl2 or 3. I still use my pre-Superfly wrinkle maps.

Really? All I kept seeing was that it didn't do it. I am going to attempt something later and I will post the results.
