Subject: Futura
Hi Everyone! :bigrinnin: Well it has been a long time but thanks to the help of Davide I think we can give it a go. This is for all of you here to try it out and see what you think. Futura is the best she is going to get but I need your help to see if she can work on every ones PC with no problem. :pray: Besides I think you guys should have it first. :thumb: So Davide gave me a link for you to download it. Here is Futura. Enjoy! :grin:

The link is not active anymore due to the release of Futura 1.1 :bigrinnin:

Just downloading :thumb:
Thanks a lot :lol:

Subject: Re: Futura
She works fine here but it's important to know if there are problems there :grin: ! Thank you Kenny :yeah: !

Subject: Re: Futura
I took her thru a short test tonight.
First of all, she really looks marvellous :thumb: :heartbeat:
When loading her all the IK for the legs were on, so she did a pretty weird pose :grin:
turning them off, zeroing the characters and reloading after saving solved this little glitch :)
Me still preferring P4 render engine (due to speed, I'm not very patient :wink: ), have a little problem assigning materials to the robot arm. It still has a looot of material, and I don't know, which one belongs to which bodypart :mmmh:
But the most important thing, she takes all my headmorphs :grin: :thumb:
So, and now I need some sleep :wink: , it's 8:20 am :roll:

Subject: Re: Futura
Thanks for sharing her my friend! :heartbeat: :dance: :dance: :dance: :dance: :dance:

Ok, it's important that the installation doesn't have problems :) I think it can be shared now Kenny :) :) :)

Subject: Re: Futura
Ok Davide. Now one problem. I would like to make it as easy to load material as possible but she does have alot going in that arm. But it was the only way I could get the detail in her. :mmmh: Any suggestions? Maybe if Andreas wants to use the setup that he has so It can be used more easily in Poser 4. :mmmh: I know when you point at an object in the materials in Poser 5 it shows you the material zone to be used. What do you all think? Should it be released as is or more simple item for Poser 4. Or can it be used as is? :uuh:

I think it's o.k. like it is
I'll try to figure out which mat belongs to which bodypart, and then I'll make some P4 style mat poses for her robot arm :lol:
But not today, I'm too lazy........
:wink:

Subject: Re: Futura
Kenny, I think you've to release the packacge as "V 1", then the upgrades will have higher version number. I have an idea for less materials but it includes a long work with the editor in Poser, I think there is a quicker way with other tools but I'm too nob to make it at the moment :oops: ...

Subject: Re: Futura
I'd use UV mapper for this job, but that'd need an external geometrie :mmmh:

Subject: Re: Futura
Ok. So what do you need Andreas. I might can help on that. That is why I just used the materials in the Poser 5 itself. It was much easier to and had a good chrome look about it. :mmmh: The thing is. Can it work with just a person that is just starting out to have fun with her? :mmmh:

Kenny, I think it's ok to share Futura :)

Subject: Re: Futura
Hi Kenny and Davide :friends:
The easiest way to reduce the amount of materials of the robot arm would be to load the obj into i.e. UV Mapper and re - assign the materials. The ball joints of the fingers could be just one material as well as the limbs of the fingers themselves.
at the moment every joint and every limb has it's own material. :uuh:
The actual character has the geometrie information in the cr2 file itself, so there's no way tho remap the bodyparts, but typing the custom material into the character via text editor manually. The other solution would be to export the zeroed character ( the robot arm, helmet and body joints) as an obj, strip the geometries from the char file itself and let it point to the external geometries, that could be remapped for use in Poser4, too. This would be much easier to handle but a lot of cr2 hacking with a lot chances to mess it up. :pray:
I never did stuff like this myself, yet. I'd give it a try, but here we are back to your question, Kenny...
What I need, is time :uuh: :grin:
We should think about this as an upgrade, So Futura can be released now :)

Subject: Re: Futura
Then it is settled then. We will put it in the download. Davide if you would be so kind to load it into the PF site. It would be easier seeing how you have a copy. Get the picture file of the Futura character in the file and put it out for a look at. So people know what they are getting themselves in to. :lmao: I will try to add some other things for her. Even a space ship. :bigrinnin: Thank you all for helping. :clap:
