Progress


Have taken time out for Christmas and being ill, so haven't done a great deal of creative stuff lately. Still experimenting with Poser 6. Currently I'm trying to transfer all the old characters that I created or modified in Poser 5 to Poser 6. A difficulty that's turned up with this is that while figures that are created in Poser 6 automatically generate shadows (regardless of whether there is a ground object beneath them or not), Poser 5 creations don't. I'm trying to work out if there's a way to persuade Poser 6 to give these older figures a shadow object.

I came across some great pictures on the Animotions website (www.animotions.com) by a guy calling himself Ironcommando. He sets up figures and scenes in Poser and then traces over them with Flash to produce very comic-booky looking images. He's also got a website of his own with a very charming, retro-style comic strip called Capt'n Eli (I'm not sure if he uses the same technique to produce the comic strip, but it certainly contains 3d elements) at www.captneli.com.
Check it out.
