My current WIP is a scene involving a few characters playing cards backstage to the poser interface. This shows what poser models do between renderings. Got 1 character pozed, made a single card, a 4-set card, and a deck of cards. Still have a ways to go. related ideas, suggestions, comments welcomed! TMG

I'm glad to see you didn't go with dogs playing poker instead. Good pose for the dragon; I love domestic scenes like this. A pity he doesn't have sleeves to hide a card in. Perhaps one of the other players ...

Solitaire, anyone?

Hey!!!! I know that guy, he deals at the blackjack table in our local casino!! Watch out..he's sneaky ;] Great image and posing. Excellent concept :)

Really good! Looking forward to the final scene. BTW what texture is it on the dragon?


TMGraphics posted Fri, 02 November 2001 at 7:42 AM

Thanks all! The texture is one I made for the VIO6 remapped Zygote Dragon (in the Free-Stuff area) which eliminates the 'stretchies' on the face, arms, legs, etc. It uses 3 separate maps for the character. Viomar (with a little help from me) put it together. Do a search for VIO6, and get both files. Thanks for the comments! TMG

you asked for ideas typical gambling stuff: cigars, cigarettes, ashtray poker chips & money snack items (pretzels, popcorn, etc.) beer love the idea

Great idea. i can see the dragon sucking on a huge cigar and blowing smoke :)

hehehe great ideas! Thanks! TMG

I can see an Ogre in your scene! And maybe a wizard(he has sleeves!!) ;-) I totaly forgot how great your texture came out Thomas!! I have to take time to make a scene with it!! And to answer your unspoken question: No! Draco is not finished yet! I'll be watching for your Finished Pic!! Regards! Marco

Oh! I forgot! I d/L over a year ago here a great Casino set of props which included a Fully poseable Deck of cards! The neat thing about it, is that it was already setup in 2 piles and ready to be animated!! I'll look into my archives to see who made them! Marco

As I will be waiting on Draco! O Master of the UVMapper! :P I was thinking a Dragon (of course), a fem, a business man, a lil fairy girl, and some other kind of animal/monster. Also maybe a few other characters in the background. Havn't got very far on the composition 'cept for a few sketches. Very much in the 'pre' stages :P Hope you have been well! TMG


Viomar posted Fri, 02 November 2001 at 6:55 PM

Master of UVMapper??? Me? I think you were under a spell when we collaborated my friend! LOL There's a BIG difference between been a "Master" & "well informed"! ;-) Don't hold your breath on Draco! I'm still having problems with the wing part! I sometimes look at the LW one i found! But, i'd rather do it with my own approach... So far he weighs a mere 234,678 Polygons! LOL I have to clean up the mesh before i can even send the sucker for testing! And yes, my health is stable for now! Now, for your Scene: How about "Bladed Woman" from WyrnnMaster! A fairy... Any one from Thorne if you have them would be great! Tisa is my favorite! Monster... Hey! There's always Yoda... LOL Also found him here in FreeStuff! A minotaur, Medusa, Alien's Infamous Beast(Virus has made a great one!!). Don't forget the "Neon" sign in the Back! And the Casino Chips too! A feww beer bottles, Well, if i keep this up, you won't be able to open the scene at all in poser! :-)) Marco

Hmmmm, sounds like a second pic in the works?!! Titled... "Poser Cafe"-where poser characters hang out after work to unwind. :P TMG


Viomar posted Fri, 02 November 2001 at 11:09 PM

Ok! Now i'm like a kid!! I think i'll try to make a scene with many characters from different backgrounds! Then we can compare each others ideas!! Not a contest! i hate those! Just a freindly exchange! On your mark, get set,... :-) Later Thomas!! Marco
