Ok, I sucked you in with "John Wick" line, but I think it's appropriate, since I'm announcing the return of my MARVEL-ous 2008 custom comic book figure...

AMAZING ARMOR!

In 2008 I had been working for YEARS to create a SUPER LO RES Mike 3 compatible figure I called Reslo,and my main 2GB computer died forcing me to work on a 512MB backup machine.

In addition, my IRL went nightmare.

Reslo was too big, loaded with morphs, to work on in Lightwave, my modeling weapon of choice back in the day.

So I took his base and "quickly" made an Ironman figure as a Freebie for the now defunct Animotions, a comic book themed website.

I finished him THE release day of Ironman 1.

15 years later, after some very real brushes with death myself, and losing my immediate family.. I'm retired on disability, and saved up enough to get back in the game with a Dual Xeon, 16 core, 32 thread, 96GB monster!
...And I'm reviewing my old library.

So now "HeroJTC_AmazingArmor" needs a new home to be free to the Poser Community, and because I'm 15 off my game, I'm asking for advice on where it would be best to host him for free. Maybe I'll update my READ ME with Patreon in case people want to help do more stuff.

This is an ORIGINAL stand alone model, with a poly count so low, it warrants the "Amazing" moniker.

This was originally my way to thank the Poser community, and we were ONE community back then before the breakup between DAZ and who ever the previous owner of Poser was.

Now it's my gift to say... I"M BACK!

Coming soon for Predatron's Masked Hero Low Res. Got a couple of other things in the works for when I find a place to distribute.This will be an SVG file so you change Spider Logos and other details by flicking on and off layers in Inkscape.

Any suggestions for what I should next?
I'm not capable of add-ons for beyond Mike and Vicky 4, and don't really have interest in figures beyond Version 3.

When "Underoos" for Predatron's Masked Hero Low Res is done, I'm probably going to rework it for Reduced Res Mike 3, which should make it work on all the series 3 figures.

I'm essentially relearning my skills and work flow by recreating the Heroes that used to be available at Aminotions.

I'm eventually hoping to take commissions as a $10 Patreon Perk, with my $1 tier giving Patrons access to everything I previously created.
In the mean time, I'm FREE until I have at least 12 items to offer.

I'm ready for testers for "Underroos". If you're interested you must have Predatron's LoREZ Masked Hero from DAZ3D and Inkscape 1.2.
Knowledge for Inkscape is a plus. You will only get an SVG file. It May work with other SVG compatible software, but was designed with and for Inks cape layers.
Message me and I'll email it to you.

Since I posted the last message, I've created a New AlienUnderoos movie edition simply by changing colors of Inkscape Selections

I had to make dinner. That's why Underoos :Homecoming took so long.
I'm defiantly going to adapt this to Reduced Res Mike 3, which means it should work for Regular Mike 3, Vicky 3, Etc.

This is exciting to see you back.  Sometimes when I have mentioned this armor in forums people would react the same way as when I would mention some deleted scenes with Biggs from the first Star Wars movie....
