Subject: M3 based "2nd Skin" Spiderman texture anywhere?

As the thread title asks, is there a "second skin" type texture mapped for Michael 3 (and thus Hiro 3) depicting Spiderman's costume anywhere?  The reason I specify for the legacy Millennium 3 figures (which are all more or less identical) is because I wish to apply it to a heavily morphed version of Hiro 3.  If the pattern works for M3, then it'll map upon H3.  It doesn't even need to work upon the head as I will be showing the character "unmasked".

Any help will be greatly appreciated!

I haven't seen an M3 second skin based on the Spiderman anywhere, only M4.  You can check ShareCG for any availability.  If you own Texture Convertor 2, or the original Universal Texture Convertor, and all the associated plugins you can convert an M4 texture map to M3 or Hiro 3.  Otherwise, you might be stuck.

I sent you a PM, Redfern.

Looks like more and more of the classic old stuff goes into oblivion.

:-(

Rendered a quick test on my weightmapped Hiro 3:

The texture looks pretty good, given that it originally was made for M3 back in 2004.

Got your message, Joe!

That's perfect!

And since the Mil' 3 figures have a "socks" morph for the feet, nothing more is needed!

As noted above, this is exactly what I wanted!

Thanks!

Yes, Space Protectorate Force Cadet Droulin Phahnboi does look a bit like Howdy Doody.  His design is intentional.

Thanks!  he's one of the characters from this long "dead" web-comic which I co-created along with (the late) Paul Scott Gibbs.

Some years ago I challenged myself to depict the cast in polygonal form.  Given my graphite based designs Aiko 3 and Hiro 3 proved the best choices for the exercise.

The final arrangement...

Mzzkiti:  "So, I'm cosplaying as whom, exactly?"

Phahnboi:  "Why, Spiderman's greatest nemesis..."

Phahnboi:  "...Dr. Octopussy!"

It's an item used a bit unconventionally, an EasyPose rigged tail figure that, sadly, has been unavailable for several years, but here's the defunct product page for those curious...

I'm sure I made one years ago, along with a texture for Sharby's mask.  I'll see if I can find it.

My immediate need was resolved thanks to JoePublic, but if you have a Spiderman texture mapped for M3 that you're willing to share with the Poser community at large, I'm sure users of those legacy figures will appreciate it!

Well, it turns out I can't redistribute it because I worked on a texture by someone else - can't remember who - so it's not entirely original.  Sorry.

Looks like Mzzkiti raided Droulin's Spidey jammies!

Since the textures fit M3 and Hiro 3, logically they should fit Aiko 3 and by extension, Melody for A3, the figure I use to depict Lt. Mzzkiti a web comic OC of of mine.  Because I use the "Kasa for Aiko" digitigrade feet (a long discontinued product), admittedly, there's a bit of texture stretching around the ankle, but it could be far worse.  For her opera styled mask, I used the goggles from Joe Quick's Cat Woman set for V4 and geometry "cloned" from the heavily morphed head of Mzzkiti.  The Spiderman mask pattern is from JoeQuick's M4 set.

Well, I admit this is getting quite silly!  I rather expect Graham Chapman's military officer to enter and break up the proceedings!  "Right!  That's quite enough of that!"

@redfern , where are those octo-arms from?

where are those octo-arms from?

From this product, the Technophilia Volume 1 - Techno Tentacles.  They have a nice feature to play with the scaling which does NOT distort the bends and twists.  I can use these same arms, flattening then along the "Y" axis to resemble the "dryer hose" type arms of the "Lost in Space" Robot B-9.

The pincers come from a vintage product which may no longer be available Ajax's "EasyPose Tentacle".  They are a separate figure that would normally conform to the larger tentacle, but for this setup I simply "parented" them.  I also "hid" the base of the claw leaving only the digits visible  I thought they looked more like the twee "fingers" of the "golden age" styled arms.
