Just finished messing around with the swan Bloodsong made (found it at poserworld). I know it's a little late for christmas but it might come in for the top of next year's tree. Opinions please I need to do something with the dress, perhaps a little transparency? Can anyone tell me how this is done, I know it's something to do with black and white, but which one is transparent, black or white. Once I've finished I'll post it as a CR2, but you'll need the swan (providing Bloodsong has no objections).

there's an excellent tutorial on transparency maps in the Renderosity tutorials. Black is invisible White is visible. kristyn

nice job!

You may also want to paly a little with the texture of the wings... a little blue high lighting always looks good. And somewhere there is the trans mapped hair that is absolutly perfect. Do a search in the free stuff under "hair and it will jump out.

aaaack! :) um, gee, pd... why didn't you just grab hokusai's original posable wings and put them on her? woulda been faster than me engineering the wings into the swan then you reverse engineering them back out. :) oh well. i get my name in lights at least! i dont mind you using the swan, but you might want to make sure hokusai doesn't mind you using his wings again. :)

Bloodsong: I couldn't use Hokusai's wings because of his site being down, couldn't download them. I don't intend making a new character with the wings anyway, just a CR2 and RSR. Anyone who downloads it will have to download the swan too. I obviously didn't read the readme file you put with the swan though, I didn't even realise that they were Hokusai's wings. Just about got there with the transparency on the dress. Should be finished soon.

ohhhhh.... okie dokie. :) um... i thought hokusai's wings were at props guild. or do they only have anton's wings? and you didnt read my txt info file!? oh, for shame! :) well, can't argue with having more people d/l my swan. can't wait to see the trans on the dress!
