I have been going back and looking through the archives in the old forum and when I came upon these AWESOME tutorials by SEAN DAVID ROSS on how to build articulated bodies, I thought that I would post a link to these posts. These are very helpful for posing bodies and bending them into dramatic poses. A MUST READ FOR ALL MACHINERS!!!!

Hey Kaldath and Hammerknight,

What would be the protocal in transfering the poses and tutorials by other machiners who are no longer really participating with the program anymore? The posts by SDR that I mentioned above should be preserved for future machiners and there are other great posing entries that would be a real bummer to lose if something happened to the other forum.

Cheers!

Here’s a new one, FINALLY!!!!

THE PATRIOT

Also to add, I tried to post a text thread using EXPLORER and when you want to choose your saved text file, it would not show it in my saved file. I had to use CHROME to be able to perform the whole opereation that Jeff explains to do and was successful.

I don’t think WordPress is very Explorer friendly, so try to have an alternate OS in reserve if you need it.

Cheers!

Here is a hunched over, ready for action pose. Cheers!

Thanks, guys! Will post in the POSE thread. Hopefully it works….

How’s this…..?

@ Alexander – Thanks! You can try for a hunched over look by dropping the head item lower onto the body and raising the arms up. You might then have to compress the torso abit to make it look right. Try finding a reference photo on what you are trying to accomplish and work with that as a guide. Play around with that . Hope it’s helpful.

Thanks, Beyond the Grave.

Anyone lose their present unsaved work when you accidentally click the new google ad box by mistake? I think the neighbors heard me when I swore! Oops! Haven’t worked on an image since that window went into effect. So much for getting a new image up. Maybe later…..

Yes, that is correct. Didn’t know what I was getting into when I started playing with the program, so I picked a lame user name.

LOVE Cockroach! Great concept with Blue Blade. I suggest you form fit the corset to her torso by masking the item to her body and get rid of her 5 o’clock shadow. Touch more neck to go with her body type, too. Great job! Cheers!

Good to see you back and posting pics. Cheers!

[ams]

Thanks to everyone! Happy that you guys like the image. Cheers!

It’s on mine also and I have to say I am not a fan either.

Here is a new character. She gets her powers from the topaz crystal around her neck. Hero or villain? I’m not sure yet. Maybe more merc for hire.

TOPAZ

Love it, just plain awesome. You even make the character genetically look native american.

If that was what you were going for

Yeah that’s the idea. I try and google pics for reference to make every character unique. There are so many facial features on the program, I try not to use the same ones all the time. Experiment with them if you get the chance. You can even take existing faces and Winners items heads and overlap eyes, ears or whatever to get some cool expressions. Same for skintones. Don’t settle on the same ones all the time. Brings alot of uniqueness to your pics.

Cheers!
