This is just a reminder that my "Scantily Clad Armor II - Sampler Pack" is still available in freestuff (click on link above, then scroll down to my freestuff section).

This is a Low-res version (pictured on top, above) of the Breastplate smart prop included in the retail package (pictured on bottom). It doesn't have the morphs included in the retail package, but should still be useful ;).

Cheers,

Looks very nice. How about making the hi res version free too? Then your message would be justifiably be in the Poser forum rather than the Product Showcase forum Peace and Love

If the hi res version was free, would there really be a need for a lo res version? Except maybe for people with very slow computers or something. That wasn't a very nice thing to say to someone offering a fewwbie. :( This is very generous of you to offer this freebie, Keith. Thanks. :)

Errr... fewwbie = freebie. LOL

It wasn't a criticism MT just a suggestion. I've already downloaded the low res version and I'm doing a texture map for it. It would look a lot better though if the tex map was on the hi res version.

Thanks... I'm promoting the freebie (or fewwbie) here ;). I look forward to seeing your texture(s) (I think I put some texturing tips in the readme).

Hmm I just checked.. they're not really much in the way of texturing tips. =(

Hi spanki any texturing tips would be useful. The template I got from using UV mapper is a little awkward

...I was just skimming through the retail readme. Here's some relevent tips snipped from there... Rim/Studs/Trim and Strap/Band: ------------------------------ For the most part, these materials are spread out to just use as much of a texture as possible - this is to facilitate the use of reflection maps and most 'generalized' textures (textures with no specific shaping to fit a UV map). Armor/Metal: ------------ Hmm.. this section mostly doesn't make sense unless you have the full package. Basically, if you remove the Rim/Trim and Collar materials from the template (hide them in UVMapper), you'll see the breastplate more clearly. Then maybe save out a seperate map for the collars. The reason they are all overlapping is to allow you to use generic textures (like an animal hide or a rusty metal) without even messing with a template. Does this help any?

"...without even messing with a template." ..otherwise, I'd recomend one template for the armor, one for the collars and just use a reflection map and/or material colors for the rim.

There's a really cool tutorial by Xurge, of the "Body Jewels" fame on how to make your own scanty armor. That's where Pokeydots learned how to make her dress in the freestuff....You guys might have some fun checking it out. Oh...doh...it's over and runtimedna. (You need rhino for the tute...but, download the demo...it is fully functional...and, gives 25 saves...if you use the contour tool, and save the contours...you can make vicki/mike clothing to your hearts' content.) also, thip has posted a base figure for both vicki and mike in freestuff....very similar to what is given, here...only hi res.

This is great, thanks, Spanki!

Actually, unless Thip posted something in the past few days (or I missed somethng), his Vicky one is for sale at Renderotica (I bought it there)... in fact, the top mesh you see above IS based on his mesh (I re-worked it a bit) ;). I just put a few additional meshes in free stuff the other day (follow the same link I posted up top)... the new ones didn't use Thip's mesh though.

it was a week or so ago, he put it up. i KNEW that looked familiar....just do a search, here, in the forum...type in Thip...you will find his free "base" mesh. :*)

I just got back from doing that search in free stuff ;) .. it's not there, but I'll look around some more.

sorry...i made a mistake...that is spelled...thip...small t...i wanted to amend my message, but, my lights went out for a bit...i live in south florida. it is hurricane season...we have been having storms every day for the last 23 days....groan....okay, i will look, too. he may have removed them due to the new daz policies. but, i doubt it.

I think shadowcat may have been hosting those files and had a problem with his host. Thip's got some other neat stuff here though ;). Of course this is all off-topic... but thanks for the heads-up anyway ;).

okay...the files i was talking about are at www.poserstyle.com. i forgot...thip is very active in that site. and, no...before my lights pop off again...it is not off topic....more, and more folks are getting into "grow your own.."...err..that should be "model your own". just go to poserstyle and you will find a link to both of them....geeze, the fun stuff i do in my off time. :*)

Thanks so much Spanki, it looks cool. Its not like you posted a link to the Marketplace anyway ;)
