We finished two pallets yesterday, and how many will we make today? No more talking, let’s go to work.

Hello,
a quick extra post with the new mascot of 4Eyes – Nurse Annie. She will show up early in the upcoming adventure Wicked Times:In Vino Veritas so this isn’t a spoiler at all, more like a teaser. I know that every male character desperately want to meet Nurse Annie. Also, I added a very nasty Germas SS officer that I haven’t any plans for right now, that do not have the same attraction as Annie. Enjoy!
You guessed right, we will continue to make pallets today, more pallets and texture them too, I hope. As I said yesterday, new tools open new possibilities and I am that kind of person that strive to use, abuse and master whatever is tossed at me. If not for any other real reason that to say “I did it!“.
One thing I haven’t made yet as a prop for map making are pallets. Mostly because pallets are not very common in a fantasy world, but now when I also make some modern things, I thought that they would be perfect items to create.
OK, we will continue with our queen statue today, so why chit-chat, let’s get going.
So, I’ve succeeded with something I set out to do, which was much harder that I first thought. Much harder because I didn’t have the right tools and didn’t fully understand the intricate file structures of a posable poser file, but, here is how I did it, using the tools at hand, mostly DAZ Studio3.
I said before that I would revisit this of making NPC photos using 3D. This time I will make a beautiful female fighter NPC, the kind that you see everywhere in any fantasy setting.
Now I will show something that we hopefully have played, as it will be a spoiler, or could be. We’re gonna make two things today, and I will try not to spoil too much if we haven’t played this yet. I need something strange, occult or magical, some kind of bowl with a burning magical fire in it.
For a map I’m working on, I need a small ventilation tower, is tower the right word? Anyway, something that sits on the ground enabling air to move down to the underground tunnels. I’ve decided to give Carrara 8 a real go today, and make an object using it from scratch.
So, I promised I’ll go back to Cheetah3D and see what we could render from there. Cheetah3D has a good renderer, and some nice capabilities, specially when rendering single objects like I do.
