♥ PosetteForever ♥

I've started work on a Pathfinder RPG elf. Here's what I have so far. <br /> <br /> <br /> <a href="http://www.posetteforever.com/files/posted_images/6088/render_6.jpg" target="_blank" title="Click to open image in new window"><img src="http://www.posetteforever.com/files/posted_images/6088/render_6.jpg" alt="Image" width="400" title="Image" /></a> <br /> <br /> <a href="http://www.posetteforever.com/files/posted_images/6088/render_7.jpg" target="_blank" title="Click to open image in new window"><img src="http://www.posetteforever.com/files/posted_images/6088/render_7.jpg" alt="Image" width="400" title="Image" /></a>

Hello and welcome P4luvr <img src="https://www.posetteforever.com/images/smiles/viannen_01.gif" alt="" /> <br /> Allways good to have another Posette friend around <img src="https://www.posetteforever.com/images/smiles/biggrin.gif" alt="" /> <br /> <br /> The character looks good so far. The tats look a bit blurry though. Have you tried to scale the texture up for editing? <br /> The default resolution of Posette's texture is a little low for so much detail. Everything else looks fine already <img src="https://www.posetteforever.com/images/smiles/eusa_clap.gif" alt="" />

<img src="https://www.posetteforever.com/images/smiles/biggrin.gif" alt="" /> Hi P4luvr <img src="https://www.posetteforever.com/images/smiles/viannen_01.gif" alt="" /> and welcome to Posetteforever <img src="https://www.posetteforever.com/images/smiles/ayeah.gif" alt="" /> <br /> <br /> Thank you for stepping by, I hope you that you'll stay with us <img src="https://www.posetteforever.com/images/smiles/TFR708.gif" alt="" /> <br /> <br /> ( <img src="https://www.posetteforever.com/images/smiles/eusa_drool.gif" alt="" /> I like your Posette <img src="https://www.posetteforever.com/images/smiles/heartbeat.gif" alt="" /> <img src="https://www.posetteforever.com/images/smiles/heartbeat.gif" alt="" /> <img src="https://www.posetteforever.com/images/smiles/heartbeat.gif" alt="" /> )

Thanks for the warm welcome. I did some more work to my ear morph to smooth it out a little. I'm not sure how to fix the blurry textures. Poser 6 Jessi has much higher resolution textures and the blurry texture stretching is even worse. I may have to use the "decal" method and apply the tattoo directly in Poser. <br /> <br /> <a href="http://www.posetteforever.com/files/posted_images/6088/render_12.jpg" target="_blank" title="Click to open image in new window"><img src="http://www.posetteforever.com/files/posted_images/6088/render_12.jpg" alt="Image" width="400" title="Image" /></a>

P4luvr, a big warm welcome, glad you joined us. <br /> <br /> Thank you for posting, and for showing us your work. <br /> <br /> I am still learning myself, and can see you have some talent in you. Good work with the ear morph, will look forward to seeing how that develops. <br /> <br /> You have certainly come to the right place for Posy, appreciation so keep posting (Chromium points loaded water pistol). Pop! (oops sorry, just farted - damn them yummy beans). <br /> <br /> If you have the original tattoo, you can download a higher resolution texture (free from the web), or as Ahjah, advises scale up the standard Posy texture and edit (I think the texture is a square shape, i.e. 950 x 950), with your favourite graphics program to a bigger size, and also you should be able to adjust the DPI / PPI count for clarity. <br /> <br /> Also see here for free textures, they are around 1200 x 1200. <br /> <br /> <a class="post-url" href="http://www.fortunecity.com/rivendell/lucky/472/happyworldlanduncut/" target="_blank">http://www.fortunecity.com/rivendel...worldlanduncut/</a> <br /> <br /> There are also other textures floating around with higher resolution. (i.e. Arrow3d, have a couple of freebie textures for Posy at around 4000 x 4000). Google Arrow3d, look for feestuff (on right), then textures (bottom of list). <br /> <br /> You may find one you prefer, elsewhere too. <br /> <br /> Keep us updated with progress, and if you need expert help (because mine is not enough) the guys here are the ones to ask. <br /> <br /> EDIT: <br /> <br /> Meant to say adjust DPI / PPI count for tattoo too before pasting onto texture, to a higher value for more clarity.

We've sone high resolution textures in our freebie page too <img src="https://www.posetteforever.com/images/smiles/eusa_whistle.gif" alt="" />

Thanks Chromium and Tormie for the links to the high resolution textures. Unfortunatley I will have to make tattoos over from scratch because they were shrunk to very small size to fit on Posette's small texture map. Well, I guess that will keep me busy for a while.

Well, I finally straightened out my tattoos. They are much clearer now. I'm using 2500x2500 texture maps. I added Posette's skirt and boots. I have a question about the boots. I could not get them to conform to Posette. I had to manually scale rotate and move them to fit them to her feet. What gives? Why can't I use the Figure>Conform to... to make them fit. I was going to design a complete outfit from scratch, but that is another project for another time. With Posette's halter top, mini skirt and boots she looks more like a street walker than an elf archer at the moment. <img src="https://www.posetteforever.com/images/smiles/redembarrassed.gif" alt="" /> <br /> <br /> <a href="http://www.posetteforever.com/files/posted_images/6088/render_10.jpg" target="_blank" title="Click to open image in new window"><img src="http://www.posetteforever.com/files/posted_images/6088/render_10.jpg" alt="Image" width="400" title="Image" /></a>

One more update. I've got my crossbow done and changed the outfit. I also started work on my dungeon floor texture. <br /> <a href="http://www.posetteforever.com/files/posted_images/6088/render_15_1313122283_309063.jpg" target="_blank" title="Click to open image in new window"><img src="http://www.posetteforever.com/files/posted_images/6088/render_15_1313122283_309063.jpg" alt="Image" width="400" title="Image" /></a>

<img src="https://www.posetteforever.com/images/smiles/thumb.gif" alt="" /> She's definately evolving <img src="https://www.posetteforever.com/images/smiles/eusa_clap.gif" alt="" /> <img src="https://www.posetteforever.com/images/smiles/smile.gif" alt="" />

@ Ahjah: <br /> <br /> Is that a clap for the street walker?

I finished the crossbow, although it's not loaded and gave her a cute little belt. I tried a couple other ideas that didn't work so I deleted them. I think I'll just put up a stone wall in the background and quit on this one. I'm quite ready to start on something else. <a href="http://www.posetteforever.com/files/posted_images/6088/elf_rogue.jpg" target="_blank" title="Click to open image in new window"><img src="http://www.posetteforever.com/files/posted_images/6088/elf_rogue.jpg" alt="Image" width="400" title="Image" /></a>

Great work she is really coming together. <br /> <br /> I don't know if this helps with the boots your using. I have a "dead zero" default pose for Posette. I loaded up Posette. clicked on all the various body parts, and set as many parameters to "zero", or "100%", that I could, then saved it as a pose. I think the lower legs, and feet may have some degree of twist, like the arms and hands do. I'm on the desktop (Poser is on the laptop), so I really should confirm this (before typing it here), but hope it may help. <br /> <br /> Does your character have a name? <br /> <br /> (Why does Chromium keep asking for names?)

I finally figured out I could conform the boots to the characters shins. Then you have to move the foot part of the boot to fit it to her feet. As for a name, I don't currently have one. I just refer to her as "Posette the elf rogue". <img src="https://www.posetteforever.com/images/smiles/smile.gif" alt="" />

Glad you have a method for getting the boots on. <br /> <br /> On appearance, she is Posette, so the name goes well with her look.

I finally got my wall up and created a couple of other accessories. Now I have to use my grunge brushes to weather some of the textures to make it look less clean and then I will be finished. <img src="https://www.posetteforever.com/images/smiles/biggrin.gif" alt="" />

Really nice seeing her come along. <br /> <br /> She looks set to kick some ass.

Hey, thanks for the compliments. The grunge technique is proving more challenging than I thought. I think where I'm running into problems is that I have an old laptop computer with crappy LCD screen. When I made the image a little darker, I was leaning close to the screen and moving my head up and down to try to see what I was doing. I'm literally working blind. Since I can't afford to get a CRT screen right now, I wonder if a monitor calibration utility might help? <img src="https://www.posetteforever.com/images/smiles/dash2.gif" alt="" />

If your having to lean so close to see what your doing then give some calibration software a go. Or at least play with the contrast / brightness on the LCD display so you can see your work (unless this is what you meant by "crappy LCD"). <br /> <br /> Poser lighting does not help much to see what you end up with either. <br /> <br /> I am quite fortunate in that on my desktop the Nvidia card (one of the old ancient and basic Quadro4 type), has controls so I can manually adjust colour settings. Not being at my laptop (and being short of memory), I can't remember what the built in ATI card has for adjustments (I have a hacked driver that lets me play with certain settings). My eyes are different to everyone elses so I adjust for me (I know my renders come out funny).

I ran monitor calibration wizard so at least I know my monitor is set right now. I also didn't make the image quite as dark. The grunge makes everything harder to see. Plus, I'm having trouble with my contact lenses today. Anyway, I uploaded the image to the gallery. <img src="https://www.posetteforever.com/images/smiles/smile.gif" alt="" /> <br /> <br /> <a href="album_showpage.php?pic_id=6542" title="Click on image to enlarge it"><img src="album_thumbnail.php?pic_id=6542" alt="" align="left" title="" /></a>
