Oh yeah, he makes great hair and in a wide variety. And I like buying straight from the maker too.

Yes!! I only purchase additional texture sets for his hair products at Renderosity. Even when there's a sale, his prices on his site are still cheaper. I'd rather pay less, and give all the profits to the creator. ;)

Here are a few renders we did during development that we would like to share with the community.

This is going to be Poser only...
but, in saying that, I've brought it into DS and when the autofit asks for character I just use unsupported and none and it all loads fine. The only thing with the outfit that has a major problem is the blade on the right arm wrap as it warps around the hand (might get away with manually parenting it?) And I had to manually add my Primitive textures to the props/hair (clothing was fine). The character morph doesn't load for me and I had to manually load the textures (you could prob get the warpaint/dirt in using LIE). Most of KageRyu's poses work except for the feet which I think you said you had a fix for?

This image is just with everything hit with the Uber shader (except the skin, that was with skin shaders I have). Would get much better results if the textures were messed around with to make them look better (bump/spec played with etc).

That's because DS ignores all greyscale maps from Poser. They have to be added manually, including normal maps.

I had to mention the normal maps because they are not greyscale, but they serve the same purpose.

Looking great but before I get too excited can I ask if there is going to be a DS version? I know Ken normally only does Poser but AOM does DS...fingers crossed.

It will depend, I have several other things I'm working on. But, if these sets are popular and fly off the shelves I'll have to do a DS version, and bump this to the top of my list.

The Savage Bundle went to HW QAV and it's in their hands now. ^___^

Below is a cool promo created by Rae134. Each of the 5 products will be available individually, and also as a stack. We are calling the stack version the "Savage Bundle", which includes everything with a stack discount.

Savage is still going through QAV, and they have found things that all of our internal testers failed to identify. Kudos for Alisa and her team for the good work. We want all the included contents to be perfect when they hit the store. ^^

It's worth mentioning that Savage Zariah was originally designed to ride a giant fantasy warthog, and from the beginning I imaged the promos showing just that. It's going to be FUN then it comes out, eventually. :)
