Now I'm really wishing I had faced learning the hardest part! Keep this up, and I'll be back at modeling again. Have to drag out the Fugazi tutorials again, and try character modeling in Silo for a change.

Oh cool, that list of movie characters and pics will help with character creation, and the tough job of matching appropriate hair to each one.

I've heard it said that rigging is easier in Studio than in Poser...have you ever tried it? In other words, if you had a decently modeled base figure, would you be able to figure out the rigging part?

Linda, I found out that the ear size controls on Fehn do work fine in Studio....they just failed to work on the Poser imported scene....so I'm setting up the scene again, this time in Studio, because I liked the way it renders in iray. I can try some different things as well. Just thought I'd let you know, the head morphs do work fine :)

Couldn't find the "scales" you used on yours. Used a leather shader and upped the bump. I would prefer a less beasty mouth but there was no morph dial to change it enough to a more fishy mouth.

What I did was dial the teeth down in the G2M settings...I have no idea if it was part of the aquatic morph, or just a feature of creature creator in general. I like the textured appearance of his skin. I think there could possibly be hundreds of combinations with the morphs set. I think it looks great, if you were going for an "in your face" character :)

Still working on this, but at least it's rendering in iray now, and all the morph dials are working. I'll have to remember that being a problem with Poser scene file imports.

My blankets are calling to me, so guess I'd better get some rest. Linda, you did some fantastic stuff today!
Have a good evening :)

It was fairly early...about the aquaman scales and how to hide the teeth, and you've since responded....plus one earlier about some not-to-miss free stuff.

This is Sharkman at the beach....haha....would probably get along with your Troutman just fine....and would make an interesting under water poker game with some other aquatic characters :laugh:
