I think they were in between M2 and M3 when I started with Studio many moons ago. I actually started with Poserworld and Studio about the same time...so all those old historial outfits had the characters to go with it. I didn't use P4 much.

Milk and cooo-kies :whistling: Haha.....

Saw a funny story on the news where a guy who was going to be a would-be thief got stuck in a chimney....and had to yell for help, and ended up being rescued by the cops....and then escorted off to jail :)

:laugh:

After some animation tests, M3 would work fine handling the light saber, but the Galactic outfit created for the M3 Tunic Pack cannot move adequately during animation or extreme posing. However, the Flash Gordon outfit released for G8M, at the link above, is a great fit for animation purposes, and it will make a good sci-fi as well as dance outfit. I replaced some of the shaders to create a dance outfit below. It also fits Michael 8, in addition to G8M.

I thought of alternative uses for the FG set too.

"we're having a heat wave....a tropical heat wave...the temperature's rising...it isn't surprising" It's a balmy 23 out this morning but the sun's shining and no clouds. One and 3/4 days left before holiday vacation. Whew, almost made it.


o_O I still have wrapping to do!

Geez...23 degrees is your heat wave....I'd never part with my blanket....haha.

Yep, the days are rapidly approaching just hours before Christmas. I'm winding down to just piddling with 3D projects for now...making notes for ideas...so we can resume speed after the holidays.

Wrapping gifts is a big job to face....gift bags help a lot these days. I used to set aside a late night and binge watch a favorite show while conquering the package wrapping. Tomorrow we'll have to go out for our before-the-holiday errand trip out....and I'd rather do anything but THAT....haha. Years ago we had a tube system in the hospital for transporting stuff between floors....it eventually became obsolete, although I can't imagine why...since it worked great....like tubes still used currently in drive-thru banking. It's a shame we can't have a big tube system that delivers groceries and meds....now that would be sweet :)

Yeah we had those tubes in the 2nd hospital I worked at.

Most of the presents are small, but hubby's is half my size so it's going to be a chore. I may open the box to see if the pots and pans are in separate boxes. I doubt it though. Yes, I bought my husband pots/pans for Christmas. He does a majority of the cooking and our current pans are really old, scratched and relatively worn. Got him a set to match 2 new pans we already had.

Hey, he enjoys cooking...that's wonderful. My mother, when she was younger, enjoyed and needed to do building projects more than she needed air to breathe. We had some unusual Christmas wrapping projects because of it....one year she wanted a sledge hammer....how does one wrap a sledge hammer? ....so I turned it into a candy cane....hahaha. She knew what it was when she lifted it, and was happy to get it, but she didn't have the heart to mess up the wrapping until after the holidays....to her it was more fun to leave it as a very heavy candy cane....haha. And the same year she wanted a 10 foot aluminum step ladder....can't you just see me, bringing something over twice as tall as I was into the house for Christmas eve....haha. I'm always amused by the lovely Christmas 3D content this time of year, with the pretty little packages that render so nicely....our holiday gift giving may not have been "pretty", but everyone received what they really wanted :) Rachael Ray has a lot of men who are chefs as guests on her show, and they take their work very seriously :)

Thank God, we decided to postpone our errand trip until early next week, when it warms up. I've felt like the Oz tin man all day today, and just couldn't imagine running errands in that condition. Temps are dropping into the upper teens now at night, but next week all that will change....hallelujah!

He cooks because 1) he's retired, 2) says I cooked all the previous years so now it's his turn, 3) I work to pay for his insurance, and best of all 4) because he loves me. I do get the honor occasionally. Sometimes we don't like what he makes, so we have sandwiches or a frozen pizza. :D My best gift this year is that my dad is still with us.

That sounds great :) I thought of something....while I was downloading some stuff through DIM, I noticed some product updates coming through. Would be a good idea to check that occasionally for Morpheus-MultiMan.

Recently there was a G8M unitard freebie that is working well for a dance outfit too....kinda like a tank top body suit.

That's how I'm piddling now....trying to test clothing...what works well, what doesn't, for animations. I can save the scene files and use them after the holidays :)
