Hi, all Having had several requests for a hood for the Mike Robe, I've tinkered together a separate conforming hood .... er, thingie. Does anyone know what such a clothes item is actually called (english is not my first language, so I just don't know). Whatever it's called, it'll be -free freestuff for any use, commercial or non-commercial (except sale as-is, wouldn't be fair), so everyone is welcome to improve, change and add. And no, I can't offer tex's or morphs/magnets, I'm no good at that stuff. And, as always, does someone know someone who'd be willing to host this thingie (I'm sorry to fish for server space like this, but I simply don't have the time or talent to maintain a website). We're talking about 150K d/l, so it shouldn't hog much bandwidth. Cheers, thip

you know where you can send it, lol. (between aol & compuserve I have about 150 mb of space to use)

Or here, I still have some space if it's not too big. 8^) Marque acbts@cwo.com

Found it, I think it was called an aumuse

Generally they called them mantles in olden times.

yeah that's it, a mantle.

Wow! This is fantastic! I've needed this for many images. Is there any chance for the same item with a hood down morph or no hood at all. The pic I (hopefully) uploaded with this message is from an old 80's cartoon Dungeons and Dragons; I've been working on some Poser characters from it. As you can see, Hank the Ranger wears a mantle. :) Thanks again; you're stuff is great, thip. Thoth

I will also scan the pics I have that show the same thing but called by a different name. It might just be the region. Marque

Hi, all Thanx for the kind responses - although I have to give you fair warning : due to Poser's lack of collision detection, some poses will have the robe sleeves poking through the thingie. Easy to adjust with slight alterations of pose, magnets or transmaps when doing stills, but a pain in the ... when doing animations, as you'll probably have to be extra careful with your keyframes. Marque - I think you're right, henceforth, the thingie will be called MikeMantle. Thoth - I just KNEW some evil person would ask for morphs or hood-down. I'll look into it, but I've never done morphs, so some patience may be needed ;-) And shadowcat - thanx for the offer to host the mantle. Zip is on the way. A big, big applause for the lady, folks!!! Have fun.

EEP! that was actually ookami that called it a mantle..lol Shadow, please hurry and put it up. 8^) Marque

on it's way up!

shadowcat posted Wed, 03 October 2001 at 3:02 PM

ewww, I just tried to morph the hood into a down position, and discovered I'm very good at shredding this item, lol.

Darn - I alway mix up people's names. I remember one particularly sleepy morning when I knew a friend would call and when he did, I picked up the phone and yawned "Martin speaking!" Knowing me, he patiently said :" No, I'm Martin, you're Thomas. Hang up, and let's try again." ;-) Apologies for Ookami and Marque, a good night's sleep for pre-senile vertex-worn-out ol' me, and a great thanx for Shadowcat. The item's uploaded to freestuff now, I'll post the info in a fresh thread. Have fun, all.
