    So many new toys to play with! ...And so little time to play with them!

    Anyhoo, using Bluto's excellent new morphs, I present... ODO!

    If I could make a suggestion, search for "Hero Hair" by Ice-boy at Renderosity's freestuff page. I think that style is perfect for Odo's hair, especially when you look at the blonde in the thumbnail. Just a thought; hope it helps. I really like where you're going with that morph.

    I actually already have the "Hero Hair", but, it lacks some necessary morphs. Because Odo's ears stick out so much, you really need to add more body to the sides of the hair. It's hard to explain, so, I'll let pictures do the speaking.

    Just puttering with the TW0K bridge Rduda shared last night. No remodeling, just playing with point lights.

    Sincerely,

    Bill

    These were 2 of my first bridges, maybe some days will revisit them to bring them up to stuff with my others. But I think every one would rather see new stuff.... Right?

    My motto tends to run along the line of "collect all that is collectable ...." but yes new stuff is great. For one thing the amount of work to update some files, well, it would make more sense to just make new files.

    And now the lines are back up ... what a storm!

    Here's the link for my viewer which wasn't made to fit any particular wall. One needs to do a little strategic stretching with it and not get too close to curved walls.

    speaking of which , now that you have the morphs.
    do you think you migh be able to knock out some bump maps to further detail the klingon ridges
    and the tellosians really need veins on the heads . a bump map would really put them over the top

    The Telosians would be first. Veins are easy! ;-)

    But, to correct you. Veins and raised detail are better as a displacement map. I find that anything above the surface level should be a displacement, and anything below surface level is better as a bump.

    Yet another in my long line of "Works-In-Progress"...

    COLONEL KIRA NERYS!

    This one was a toughie in terms of getting a good likeness. The V4 Morphs++ just weren't enough. I had to get i13's Bone Structure from Renderosity to get the chin right. The nose ridges are a displacement map.

    Blubeetle, that is an amazing work. I hope you will share it with us; I've got a Kira Nerys project cobbled together, and I'd discard everything I had in favor of that morph.

    I think the tight little wrinkles at the corners of her mouth really do it. That's some great attention to detail.

    Sarge, check your PMs.

    Here's something that might help. Though it might work better upon a Gen' 3 figure since the mapping for the head is a bit more unrolled like a scroll.

    Sincerely,

    Bill

    Here's the effect when applied as a displacement map upon Hitoro for Hiro 3.

    Shoot, I'll just supply the map for anyone using Gen' 3 figures.

    Create an image based Poser node loaded with this image and plug it into the displacement channel with a setting of 0.005.

    I'll let someone else create a v4 and/or M4 version using the "template" two posts above.

    Sincerely,

    It's done. At some point between TMP and TWOK, the Enterprise got a new bridge module- yeah, the first of many. Now, for a general outline, the model was fine. But for the kind of details we usually go for, the weapons console needed more detailing. But to be really accurate, that would require re-building the mesh- which I do not have the skills for. So, using Google Sketch-up, I created what modifications I could and went for a "Inspired by" look. Hope folks agree with it.

    This is the obj conversion of the 3DS Max StII Bridge. The walls don't show up-hell half the model doesn't show up till it's rendered- and look at the viewscreen's frame...

    I just looked at that model in Silo and Carrara and I can tell you there is a LOT of wasted mesh in there. Not to mention its triangulated in 3DSM so there is no hope of getting it out in quads.

    If you have access to Carrara, I recommend you first export the mesh from 3DSM as Polygons and then import in Carrara as polymesh (per material). Editing it in Carrara, you can select a piece at a time and remove the unwanted faces.

    Also, if you import with auto scale in Carrara the first time, when you are finally finished and ready to export, do so at 43% (make sure you group the model with itself to get the proper scale) and import in DS at Poser scale and you should get it as close as possible to the correct size. Btw, 43% is not a magical number, I checked on my end first what was best.

    I don't have Carrara and I don't know the first thing about taking meshes apart.

    Okay I have part two of the Making Uniforms done ... if anybody into making clothing wouldn't might taking a look. Feedback would be appreciated as to the Smart Content field idea. Thank you.

    And to note that in the long run of matters; all clothing that could be assigned there does not have to be for Genesis.

    It's looking pretty good to me, Madison. IMHO, for what it's worth, it doesn't have to be exact, and it looks close enough, especially if you're going to use that weapons/security station off to the left.

    Can't wait to see what you do with it.

    Well, I'm expecting the weapons station to see use in books 9 and 10.

    Received mine Friday night. Haven't heard from him since.
    One of them is the zip we all have fun trying to figure out how to unzip. I right click and open with 'Windows Explorer', drag the file out and it copies unzipped to the new folder.
