SKYLAB CHAT

I have an interesting oldie find...those who have been in the 3D community a long time may remember all the Sixus 1 freebies, some of which seemed to disappear. Well, I found them. I knew they had a mummy for the H.I.M. model, as well as a space suit...they are on this page with a bunch of other stuff...this is page 2 of three pages of freebies. I needed the mummy for a Lazarus pose set I'm doing...I have a mummy, but I was looking for the freebie for folks who would need it, and I remember using it years ago. If you like oldies, this is a little blast from the past

Project Human: H.I.M.

H.I.M. Mummified

Well, I should behave myself and get an afternoon nap....so I'll see you folks later on this evening

 

[Seliah (Childe of Fyre)]

See you later, Sky.

 

[skylab]

Hey Seliah...I'm vertical again, after a really good nap...so I'll have to energy to tackle the lighting in this Lazarus picture...this stuff doesn't come easy for me, so I need a little patience with it

 

[Miss B]

Hi ladies, sorry I've been kinda quiet today. Been doing some testing, so haven't been checking in on the forum for a few hours.

As far as lighting goes Sky, no matter the software it was always the hardest thing for me to learn how to do right. It took me several years, and I STILL find renders I just can't light right no matter what I try, so I can empathize.

 

[Terre]

Good evening.
Looks like all is coming together nicely.

 

[Terre]

Hi Miss B.
Been distracted myself so not around much.

 

[skylab]

Hey Terre

 

[skylab]

Well, Bob Ross would call this a happy accident, that the scene lit up this way, but it would've been nice if it had washed out Lazarus a little...he's seems so dark in contrast to his surroundings. Oh well, I may just have to go with this, it's acceptable for a pose set promo.

 

[Miss B]

Evening Terre, and I like the way the lighting came out in that render Sky.

 

[skylab]

Uploaded the poses to ShareCG...for Poser, and for DS4.

Eyes are getting tired, and I have yet to eat a late dinner, so I think I'll say good night to everyone...see you tomorrow

 

[Miss B]

Night Sky, rest easy.

 

[skylab]

Good morning everyone

 

[skylab]

Terre, you may find this interesting...how to make a rope halter for a horse...it would come in handy for anyone trying to model one. I was searching for a model of one...could've sworn I saw one when I was doing the western stuff, but it has slipped my mind. Someone has requested the Triumphant Entry...Jesus riding the donkey into Jerusalem...so this project will either be a triumphant, or a head banging challenge. Oh well, I never like to back down from a challenge...and I'm well rested...so here goes...haha. First I have to see if I can get the dynamic cloth to follow his legs straddling the donkey...if not, we'll have to try side saddle...paintings show both.

 

[Miss B]

Afternoon ladies.

 

[skylab]

Hey Miss B So far the donkey is wearing the robe too...haha. Playing with the settings.

 

[Miss B]

~LOL~

 

[skylab]

I've saved the riding pose, but I think it's time to try a side saddle position

 

[Miss B]

Hey Sky, did you check the donkey for the robe to collide against? Not sure how much better it would work if you hadn't selected it, but it was the first thing I thought of when I saw this latest render.

 

[skylab]

Yeah, I double checked that first thing...I had checked universe as usual which included the donkey, and only excluded the hair which had been an issue before. I've adjusted the fold resistance, the stretch resistance, and the stretch damping several times...and I don't know what else to adjust at this point. It needs a setting like Crossdresser where you click skirt or pants, so it knows to divide the legs.
