hi all Im showing off my new critter..he will be going to beta tonight...I think. He is totally posable and also has a new 'in development' characteristic...low poly "real hair". The hair can be uniform or erratic with simple morph dials. These renders are Bryce...Im not totally familiar with transparency setting within poser yet, so I had to bring him to a program that I can control 100% Renderosity has been slow about getting back to me setting up a store here...they have finally done so tho...but honestly, based on the slow response, Im not sure I will. I will have to think about it. The other characters I have made arent here...yet. Anyhow...comments/suggestions appreciated! BT

That's incredibly cool, incredibly lifelike The hair is part of the obj file? So it can be controlled by morph targets rather than transparency maps. That might be a fantastic feature for some of the other animals supplied in Poser, even the human ones. Used in combination with transmapping, you might have hit on a wild new technique in the development of hair. Hope you can master the learning curve on Poser in a hurry--great figure.

Congratulation, this Bat looks absolutely real. Great job. The thing with the hair is really interesting. SHARKEY

Ditto! Very realistic. Very impressive.

The hair is mapped onto a specially made obj model. This model can use morphs to make a lot of variation to the hair. The theory behind the conf model is to allow one to opt not to use it in images where the detail in unnecessary or only a silouette is desired. Downside: in apps out of poser it can take a bit to render the hair...the render above took ~35 minutes on a 500 mhz computer (but I was running both b4 and b5 at the same time..so that of course slowed down the render). Upside: its extremely low poly as is. I can double it and still be <10000 poly, so that should fix some oddities with future models. Since its such a small poly conf. model, it would theoretically be possible to use multiple ones to thicken the hair to perfect realism. The render above is just one conf. hair model. I will probably make one for the poser cat because the little devil needs some real hair :) later thanx all! BT
