I have three images from quite a while ago (1997 is the date on the files)
that I got from Compuserve. I do not remember who posted the images but for
some reason I don't think it was the guy who actually created them. The
images are of a woman (he) called Sadie and they were very good back then
and still look very good today... I was just looking at them. He said that
he (the guy that was working on them) was trying to make a completely
posable version for possible use in a movie.
That's how I recall the thread anyway. I could have dreamed it all up and it
could all be just a figment of the evil, twisted side of my imagination.
I don't think I should post the pictures because they are not mine and there
is noodity involved. If you you're over hmmm, let's say 26 and can prove it,
I'll email you the pictures.

Check out Giles Tran's site (http://www.oyonale.com/)
For realistic figures, you really need to invest in Poser and export the meshes
to POV.

Poser? Realistic?

BTW, anyone know if Character Studio is more realistic than Poser? I heard you
can actually design your own creatures with it. I heard something about muscle
modelling and skin stretching in Character Studio. Sounds pretty good. Never had
the money for it though.

Did you look at Giles site? Did you see "Eve"? Are you still laughing?

No, no, yes. In that order.
...the reason I'm laughing is because I have Poser 4,
and I cringe when I take the figure and raise the arm
above the head. Deltoid and pectoral don't bend from
static positions. They themselves change shape. A
quick-and-dirty fix for that would be to have body
data for muscle-flexed positions and morph to those,
and a better fix would be to actually manipulate the
skin as though the muscles were acting. But just
bending one dataset as though it were plastic? No.
That's not even taking into consideration flesh
being pushed around by other chunks of flesh as in
the inside of the elbow when the arm is flexed.
I'll stop laughing/sobbing when those things are
corrected. And they're not minor cosmetic issues.
They're integral into making a figure look real.
In fact, you can have a stick figure look more
realistic than a poser figure if you give it
basic muscle groups that move properly.

You seem to be talking about animation, since this is a still image
group I didn't expect that.
I don't have Poser 4, but having tried out 3, I assume that you have to
move the shoulder and other parts of the body to make more natural
movements.
Realism in movement probably takes tedium and skill, realism in static
poses takes texture mapping and Giles can probably help you with that.

No, I'm talking about still images. In order to
make pose Z which is somewhere between poses A
and B, you can either stretch they daylights out
of pose A, or you can average the datasets of A
and B.

Texture mapping? Look at the attached image. I
don't care WHAT texture you slap on it, it's not
going to look right; the geometry is flat out
wrong.
(Realism in movement takes a few hundred thousand
dollars to afford a motion capture system, then
the know-how to clean up the end data...unless
you have a lot of time on your hands and really
detailed knowledge of anatomy)
