Hey people,Just a small update from me. I've been keeping my head low for a while, focusing on pumping out the renders of the Disco Dragon part 2 and Sen's Initiation. I didn't want to keep on posting repetitive updates. I'm going to try get them out in December before the new year!
In other news, the long awaited Poser 11 is now out!! It is downloading as I type this. These are exciting times for me because Poser 11, as you know, is paramount in the development of my uber-complex figure Project E, and also, perhaps even more so, for my comic-making.
Over at RDNA, Smith Micro decided to showcase P11 (and the figures) to the community, giving us a glimpse into what to expect. Thanks to many folks there, like obviously Nerd3D, but also Netherworks, Vilters, Bagginsbill and a bunch of others provided some insights into what I could expect from Poser 11. Of course since everyone uses Poser differently, I need to see if for myself before being able to formulate in my mind what Poser 11 will mean for me. There were also some previews of the new figures Paul and Pauline, which despite probably being Poser's best figure to date, was less interesting for me, considering I'm developing my own. I might develop some morphs for her, just for fun. The introduction of Pauline did give me valuable insight into what I could probably expect if I release PE. In response, I also opened a thread called "Your Ideal Figure" in which I initially intended to keep independent of PE, but that didn't last too long I think... ahem. I did get some extremely useful tips and suggestions, and have already made some changes in my development plans for PE. She is certainly going to get an entirely new mesh (for the 5th time) because in the year that Ive been working with her, I've seen plenty of room for improvement.
But first, let's see how Poser 11 holds up as a rigging platform, and what this will mean for Project E. I'll let you know in due time what I think, my comics take priority at the moment.By the way, I will not be downloading the Poser figures yet, only tonight since I don't want to kill my bandwidth!
BTW: not to forget, in the last few days I was quite affected by the horrible events that took place in Paris. Very similar to the atrocities in Garissa, Kenya. Its just incomprehensible that some people can lower themselves to such a level to purposefully kill and main unarmed civilians that were just having a good time. Utterly disgusting. So to all my French fans, my thoughts are entirely with you. I hope you're all ok and that such things don't happen again in the beautiful city of Paris, or anywhere else for that matter.
Thank you Ero for your kind words! I found out yesterday evening that my favourite cousin almost got into that horrible bloody mess, as she intended to go out with friends in that very same neighborhood around the Bataclan and couldn't due to her car engine croaking it... talk about luck. That girl should buy a lottery ticket.
ReplyDeleteVery early this morning, a group of terrorists was put under siege in the district of St Denis (in Pa ris again). The siege ended with two consecutive assaults on the terrorists nest. Two tangos down, several of them taken alive. We don't know if he was part of the group the RAID and the Army managed to neutralize, but we have one more scary info: apparently, the brain behind all the recent killings (including the train attack) seems to be in France right now. The manhunt goes on... let's hope the boys catch him. Today, they did a great job and deserve all the praise and gratitude they can get.
shit, that is really lucky. She must have been properly shocked though! The thought of having possibly been in and among that horror! Glad to know you're all safe.
DeleteYeah I hope ISIS gets their asses kicked all the way to their 40 virgin goats. They wanna be martyrs? no problem, we have just the weapons for that!
Lookin at your Pauline Test renders...I love Pauline fixed.1
ReplyDeleteShe looks borderline psycho.
LOL
How are you liking her controls now that you have her in hand, as it were?
hehehehe yeah she looks like "Overly Attached Girlfriend!"
DeleteShe handles ok, I like the prop handles they made, it gives me ideas for PE, but Pauline definitely needs a lot of work!
Did they fix the bugs in the rigging system that you mentioned previously which stopped your progress with PE?
Deletenope, that's why I've decided to do things differently. She should still be just as cool, in fact the new approach might actually work better.
DeleteAddendum to my prior comment: The alledged "brains" guy has been positively identified amongst the dead. This hateful mind won't hatch any more nefarious plans. There is a little bit of justice out there after all... we still aren't out of the woods though. We won't be for a long, long time if ever.
ReplyDeletegood! I hope he's sucking satan's dick in hell right now, miserable bastard. I just hope all these actions we're all taking will send them a clear message that they can fuck off with their fucked up jihaad bullshit
