Here's what I have so far.

The tats look a bit blurry though. Have you tried to scale the texture up for editing? The default resolution of Posette's texture is a little low for so much detail. Everything else looks fine already :clap: ----------------------------------- Tormie Friday, 22 July 2011, 12:26 PM Re: Posette As An Elf ----------------------------------- :D Hi P4luvr :welcome: and welcome to Posetteforever :yeah: Thank you for stepping by, I hope you that you'll stay with us :friends: ( :droll: I like your Posette :heartbeat: :heartbeat: :heartbeat: ) ----------------------------------- P4luvr Saturday, 23 July 2011, 02:35 AM Re: Posette As An Elf ----------------------------------- Thanks for the warm welcome. I did some more work to my ear morph to smooth it out a little. I'm not sure how to fix the blurry textures. Poser 6 Jessi has much higher resolution textures and the blurry texture stretching is even worse. I may have to use the "decal" method and apply the tattoo directly in Poser.

Thank you for posting, and for showing us your work. I am still learning myself, and can see you have some talent in you. Good work with the ear morph, will look forward to seeing how that develops. You have certainly come to the right place for Posy, appreciation so keep posting (Chromium points loaded water pistol). Pop! (oops sorry, just farted - damn them yummy beans). If you have the original tattoo, you can download a higher resolution texture (free from the web), or as Ahjah, advises scale up the standard Posy texture and edit (I think the texture is a square shape, i.e. 950 x 950), with your favourite graphics program to a bigger size, and also you should be able to adjust the DPI / PPI count for clarity. Also see here for free textures, they are around 1200 x 1200. http://www.fortunecity.com/rivendell/lucky/472/happyworldlanduncut/ There are also other textures floating around with higher resolution. (i.e. Arrow3d, have a couple of freebie textures for Posy at around 4000 x 4000). Google Arrow3d, look for feestuff (on right), then textures (bottom of list). You may find one you prefer, elsewhere too. Keep us updated with progress, and if you need expert help (because mine is not enough) the guys here are the ones to ask. EDIT: Meant to say adjust DPI / PPI count for tattoo too before pasting onto texture, to a higher value for more clarity. ----------------------------------- Tormie Sunday, 24 July 2011, 09:17 PM Re: Posette As An Elf ----------------------------------- We've sone high resolution textures in our freebie page too :whistle: ----------------------------------- P4luvr Monday, 25 July 2011, 02:37 AM Re: Posette As An Elf ----------------------------------- Thanks Chromium and Tormie for the links to the high resolution textures. Unfortunatley I will have to make tattoos over from scratch because they were shrunk to very small size to fit on Posette's small texture map. Well, I guess that will keep me busy for a while. ----------------------------------- P4luvr Monday, 01 August 2011, 02:44 AM Re: Posette As An Elf ----------------------------------- Well, I finally straightened out my tattoos. They are much clearer now. I'm using 2500x2500 texture maps. I added Posette's skirt and boots. I have a question about the boots. I could not get them to conform to Posette. I had to manually scale rotate and move them to fit them to her feet. What gives? Why can't I use the Figure>Conform to... to make them fit. I was going to design a complete outfit from scratch, but that is another project for another time. With Posette's halter top, mini skirt and boots she looks more like a street walker than an elf archer at the moment. :redface: [img]http://www.posetteforever.com/files/posted_images/6088/render_10.jpg[/img] ----------------------------------- P4luvr Friday, 12 August 2011, 04:14 AM Re: Posette As An Elf ----------------------------------- One more update. I've got my crossbow done and changed the outfit. I also started work on my dungeon floor texture.

I tried a couple other ideas that didn't work so I deleted them. I think I'll just put up a stone wall in the background and quit on this one. I'm quite ready to start on something else.

I don't know if this helps with the boots your using. I have a "dead zero" default pose for Posette. I loaded up Posette. clicked on all the various body parts, and set as many parameters to "zero", or "100%", that I could, then saved it as a pose. I think the lower legs, and feet may have some degree of twist, like the arms and hands do. I'm on the desktop (Poser is on the laptop), so I really should confirm this (before typing it here), but hope it may help. Does your character have a name? (Why does Chromium keep asking for names?) ----------------------------------- P4luvr Saturday, 17 September 2011, 03:26 AM Re: Posette As An Elf ----------------------------------- I finally figured out I could conform the boots to the characters shins. Then you have to move the foot part of the boot to fit it to her feet. As for a name, I don't currently have one. I just refer to her as "Posette the elf rogue". :) ----------------------------------- Chromium Saturday, 17 September 2011, 01:08 PM Re: Posette As An Elf ----------------------------------- Glad you have a method for getting the boots on. On appearance, she is Posette, so the name goes well with her look. ----------------------------------- P4luvr Thursday, 29 September 2011, 02:57 AM Re: Posette As An Elf ----------------------------------- I finally got my wall up and created a couple of other accessories. Now I have to use my grunge brushes to weather some of the textures to make it look less clean and then I will be finished. :D ----------------------------------- Tormie Thursday, 29 September 2011, 07:28 AM Re: Posette As An Elf ----------------------------------- :whistle: :whistle: :whistle: :heartbeat: :heartbeat: :heartbeat: :droll: :droll: :droll: :D She is very beautiful :heartbeat: ! ----------------------------------- Chromium Thursday, 29 September 2011, 07:45 PM Re: Posette As An Elf ----------------------------------- Really nice seeing her come along. She looks set to kick some ass. ----------------------------------- P4luvr Friday, 30 September 2011, 02:51 AM Re: Posette As An Elf ----------------------------------- Hey, thanks for the compliments. The grunge technique is proving more challenging than I thought. I think where I'm running into problems is that I have an old laptop computer with crappy LCD screen. When I made the image a little darker, I was leaning close to the screen and moving my head up and down to try to see what I was doing. I'm literally working blind. Since I can't afford to get a CRT screen right now, I wonder if a monitor calibration utility might help? :dash: ----------------------------------- Chromium Friday, 30 September 2011, 10:19 AM Re: Posette As An Elf ----------------------------------- If your having to lean so close to see what your doing then give some calibration software a go. Or at least play with the contrast / brightness on the LCD display so you can see your work (unless this is what you meant by "crappy LCD"). Poser lighting does not help much to see what you end up with either. I am quite fortunate in that on my desktop the Nvidia card (one of the old ancient and basic Quadro4 type), has controls so I can manually adjust colour settings. Not being at my laptop (and being short of memory), I can't remember what the built in ATI card has for adjustments (I have a hacked driver that lets me play with certain settings). My eyes are different to everyone elses so I adjust for me (I know my renders come out funny). ----------------------------------- P4luvr Saturday, 01 October 2011, 04:02 AM Re: Posette As An Elf ----------------------------------- I ran monitor calibration wizard so at least I know my monitor is set right now. I also didn't make the image quite as dark. The grunge makes everything harder to see. Plus, I'm having trouble with my contact lenses today. Anyway, I uploaded the image to the gallery. :) [albumimg align=left]6542[/albumimg]
