Can't wait to see Peppermint Patty and Marcie (with the glasses)

 

[Linda B]

Oh yes, the classic poker pic with the dogs but with underwater figures! Would be hysterical.

PP & Marcie up tonight. Having trouble finding a bun hair I like for Violet. None of the ones I have come with bangs. She may have to be bangles or I'll use another banged hair and try to hide everything but the bangs with scaling dials.

 

[Linda B]

I couldn't resist getting her.

 

[skylab]

Cool! That would make a good promo for the character

 

[Terre]

Good afternoon.

 

[Linda B]

Hey Terre.

 

[Linda B]

 

[skylab]

Haha! There they are...little Marcie and Peppermint Patty! Wonderful

Good job on Violet too...her hair is especially well done......alll of them are, incredible work!

 

[Linda B]

Thank you very much.

New Colonel Troutman. Found the scale textures. Found that I had some eye textures that work with G2. Not sure if they were a G2F tex or some other figure. Scaled the complete eyeball to make pupil larger. Hid the teeth and fiddled with dials to get the mouth closed. Now he looks like a trout (use your imagination!)

Ah...so it worked....yay! I found out what the mysterious improvement was in my smart content....something I may have clicked by mistake, not sure....but at the bottom of the smart content there's an option to Filter by Content....when that box is checked, it goes back to the familiar appearance of the content menu....and unchecking the box it gives me everything. It was seeing everything that was new to me, and was helping me find things, especially shaders....so I guess that's how I even found the scales in the first place.

Whoopi Fehn

 

[skylab]

I'll have to fiddle with the render settings on Whoopi Fehn...the shader that I used on the dress is supposed to have a moderately shiny metallic appearance...but it comes across as having metal flake appearance instead of smooth.

Whoopi's glasses freebie:

freeSPEX Glasses for Genesis

 

[Linda B]

Yeah, change the metal flake settings. But it looks great as is to me.

 

[skylab]

All your CB girls are posted on this page now

 

[Linda B]

cool!

 

[skylab]

Linda, check your email....wanted you to see what the metallic shader was supposed to look like...haha.

 

[Linda B]

Shiny! Like a kaleidoscope too.

 

[skylab]

Yeah, I was fascinated with the shiny, almost rainbow, effect, and thought it would be at least cool to try.

Maybe Fehn's dress is retaining it's fabric settings even though I'm applying the shiny shaders. I was sorta going for an outrageous appearance, just to shock you...haha....but it flopped

 

[Linda B]

Depends on your point of view. I LOVE it!
