Reavers!!!
We all get chills hearing that, and Reavers are really bad ass baddies, specially when they come in hordes of hundreds, the Uruk-Hai of the Serenity ‘Verse. I needed some pictures of Reavers for Promised Land and I needed some really ugly piercings for them.
So we’re making a version of that Serenity tombstone, that looks pretty cool, and we did the pillar yesterday.
Now we have played the first part of Promised Land, so I can publish a few things that would have been too much spoilers, like this tombstone.
The model is already published on my Rendo freebee page.

I’m back, and sorry for not posting for a while, but the things I’ve been working on can’t be posted yet as it would be too much of a spoiler for my players. But, I have been working on something that I can show you, and that is the GM Visual Aid for Mac OS X Snow Leopard, sorry windows users, you got to look elsewhere for software.
OK, today we will continue with the V4 Archer pants, to see where that take us.
Back at DAZ, they have been running something they call Mars Madness, which is fun. New items are released at a 75% discount and all stores are having huge sales. Among the coolest items so far was the V4 Archer outfit by Bobbie25, and there was a thread in the forum for us noobs making texture mods to that, so I could not resist.
Today we’re gonna make some good looking 3D props for use are ground in your close up scenes. They can tile, but they do have a rather hefty polygon count, so don’t add too many to a scene.
Today we will finish the CIS Vest, our first real Poser figure texture modification. The reason I say figure is because all clothes are rigged, they have bones information so they can adjust to the adjustments of the character they fit to. You make the character skinny, the clothes gets tighter, you make him fat, the clothes get larger. Life is so much better in the virtual world.
So this will be a break in the map making again, showing something else that I’ve learned, and is still learning, and that is making texture modifications to existing Poser and DAZ Studio Props and Figures. This is easy when you know how, but it would be even easier using programs like Photoshop, but I have my toolbox and I have some tools that can make this go really good. This is the first cloth modification I’ve done, this is virgin territory for me.
We’re gonna finish the Stars & Stallions saloon today, so we got a full day.
