Hi all! This is a figure I have been working on for while now. It is %99 finished and I am thinking of making it available for download. Any comments? Tony Lane

Nice work! - Love the ribs showing in his chest! YEUCHHHHH! ;-) Dave :-)

yes please :) maybe a bit more destruction to the face? zombies like lips and noses very tasty parts them. Rob

Rob, The way I have the file set up it is quite easy to remove ANY part you want. It is also simple to make the skin and "guts" different colors. Tony Lane

BTW- The file is set up for Macintosh platforms. Does anybody know of a translator so I can also make it available to Windows users? Tony Lane

would you like a windows person to test it for you? I've got stuffit so I can use sit files, but I bet that's not all there is to it. Rob

Rob, Thanks for the offer. I'm a bit concerned since there are a AWFUL lot of small pieces and transparency files that have to go in the right places. I don't know how I would even START to x'plane all of it. The tweaking of placements took darn near a month. However it DOES animate rather well. Tony

are we talking folders or placement on the figure itself? if it's the figure then what you need is mat pose files to do it all for you, then again if all the bits are seperate that could be a major problem for a mat file. Rob

Rob, Yes, the bits are separate but have various body parts as their parents. I don't think a MAT file would take care of that. would it? Tony

not unless you want to make a pose for each bit that would take you another month, I just thought are the bits obj files or pp2's with the obj embedded? there was a discussion over at 3dcommune about joining pp2's together to make 1 file, I tried it & got a pp2 that was 10Mb but it worked, it had 12 seperate parts to begin with but when I finished I had to click once and the whole lot joined onto the figure together. Rob

You can use MacConverter (I assume that since you're on a Mac you've got it! ;) http://www.softrabbit.com) to export files to PC format, under the 'expert' menu.

Oops! I got the link wrong: http://www.soft-rabbit.com/ is correct. Very welcome. By the by, have you got the latest version (1.1.5)? There was an issue with an older version of something or other that caused a crashing error when Poser tried to load files converted in MacConverter, if they had been converted along wit the RSR. MartinC has since identified the problem and fixed it.

Yep, I have 1.1.5 and, with a bit of luck, I'll get the zombie translated and finished by the weekend. I'm not sure yet what price I'll put on the figure but I promise to keep it as low as possible. If this piece moves well I have plans for more. I spent over 20 years as one of the top make-up artists in Hollywood (not bragging, just letting you know where this comes from) and 3D programs have finally caught up to a point where I can make that knowledge available and useful to artists. I would really like to know the kind of things that the community could find useful. Being able to charge reasonable amounts for this stuff will supplement my disability checks and help me make more things for everybody. I am also finishing one of the "Classic" Hollywood monsters from way back when and a turorial on how to animate and morph it. If there is something having to do with make-up (beauty or monsters--I've done both) please let me know either here or off the list. I'll help if I can. Tony Lane
