Photoshop. The spots are called 'freckles'. People have them. Don't like them? Paint them out.

FORGOT THE IMAGE:

HERE is something like what I use...I'll apply this as a 'patch image' and then add a material effect, my favorite is the 'plush' from the Simbiont collection. I'll change the colours to suite the skin and 'plush' gives a NICE automatic rim-lite. Simple!

Wow! Just checkin out this thread for the 1st time... (it does not show in my 'View new Posts'...hmmm) LOT of fantastic work going on here. SO- if I were to 'summarize' for my own benefit...this 2008 update to the original 2001 rig would be a drag-n-drop, scale-n-place, attach-n-weight animation RIG with advanced finger/hand control and facial bones already in place for AM/Track???? Check me if I'm wrong... it's looking FANTASTIC!

Doesn't A:M have a chat feature built right into it?

May need to de-activate or delete the stride-length, and then re-set it up again.

A lot to look at... WONDERFUL!

CHANGE THE PAINTING. Yes, I would use muscle-motion in a pose as Fucher suggected. But- Make sure you are using all TSM2 controls such as the spine stretcher and the leg-stretch controls, if they help.

dotto Rob---OR, try making a NEW material and right click on that... REMEMBER that shift-8 turns-ON and OFF particles... there is also a nifty button you can put on your control panel that turns ON/OFF particles... If you need to know how to customize that...let me know-

Make it a really long, thin cylinder.

Wow- it looks so 'PLASTICENE'... and I mean that in a GOOD way!

Hey Jirard---I've been staying away from SSS because of it's render hit... how much does it add to your renders?

INSPIRING! Thanks for posting your settings. DIG the dobro! Your faces are quite unique with a wicked touch.

What program are you going to use to see the transparency? Photoshop? AfterEffects? If you render to targa, the transparency will be in the alpha channel. PNG is new to V15. Let us know what road you want to go down and we'll get you there...

HEY! Ya just gotta LOVE a character named 'Lotion Girl'... I like the hair... it could benefit from some 2ndary dynamic motion. Also, your animation would be highly believable and humanly accurate if you tried the 'ZignTrack' motion capture utility... which I hear is on sale this month (Sept 2008)

OK- Time to stir the bee-hive... McCain is the typical Republican... looks like he might have picked the female equivalent of Dan Quayle as his running mate, but he is still a strong candidate-whatever... Obama may or may not be the 'rock-star' he is being sold as... 'change' comes in two flavors... he's only mentioning one, but heck- it's working for him! BUT. I think- The Dems missed a major opportunity this year in not getting behind what the world considers a 'sure thing'...Al Gore. Hillary pushed him aside by saying 'THIS IS MY TURN' and he...being the Al Gore that he is...obliged her and stepped aside. Not in my lifetime has the USA ever had such a pedigreed visionary ready with a plan to lead us from our dour circumstances (I'm too old to remember FDR) and he isn't even considered? I feel like we are playing a giant game of PLINKO with our candidates.

I like that, Gangus! Now that is disrespectful on a bi-partisan basis,,,chock-full-O-hangin chads!

Slightly Off-Topic... Here in Mich we are getting bombarded with commercials from a man named 'Pickens' who has a plan: http://www.pickensplan.com/ His plan relies on increased natural gas usage and immediate building of wind-mills from Texas to Canada, and eventual nuclear increases. He is not running for president, rather he wants enough people to buy into his plan by 'signing-up' that WHOM-EVER moves into the White House in January will have to consider it... He points out that at 750 BILLION per year (that we are spending on foriegn oil) that the 'transfer of wealth' could be lethal to America, and the time for action is now, and he welcomes anyone with a better plan.

Shoot me a personal email and I will find a way to get it to you. jason@hdjibguy.com YOUTUBE

I did a couple of tests with V13 or earlier...and since I havent updated my webpage since then they are still right out in front! Follow the link in my signature. I used 'borrowed' BVH files from websites like freeBVH.com or mrbones.com

OK--- Well, we know Biden is 'owned' by the credit companies... has she caved to any corporates?

Cool stuff! Definately has unique style. LOVE THAT CHAIR! You should see if the 'OZ' team could use it...

Yeah--- that's SNAFU'd. Once you click the advanced box the whole she-bang is supposed to change. I see you are on a Mac, so I can't help you there. PERHAPS your CD allows you to use V11 as well... try downloading the last 11 and see if your render box works there.....?

Yeah...both of them! Hey Largento...great work! I finally got around to emulating your 'Wannabee' comicbook style toot for Newton Dynamics. http://www.hash.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=33186
