Default Cylon Centurion - Poser version beta1

Hi guys, as promised here's the beta version of the Old version Cylon:

Cylon Centurion - Beta1

I'm not sure how this is going to work in P4/PPP, since it was rigged in P5 and has dynamic clothing for the back cloth, one of the reasons it's a beta release.

There are a few things not right about it, the anim used for the eye doesn't want to work in this version, it works great in every other prog but Poser, also the dynamic back cloth is still not 100% correct, this was my fist attempt at using this feature and I'm still not totally sure of how to use it, it also needs to be move back on the z-axis a touch.

There's probably a few other things too that I've missed, things you guys will spot, so I'm looking forward to hearing any comments and crits you have.

Once he gets the all clear he'll be uploaded to the meshes section here.

Cheers

Billy

Some problems I can tell you about already, firstly ones I already knew about, the belt, armbands & shoulder armour can give you real problems when the figure is bending, especially in extreme poses.
The same goes for the back cloth.

Second I need to edit the cr2 to fix the problem with the genitalia.

Third there's another problem with the hip/legs connection, I've just had another look at the mesh that makes that part up and it's a real mess, I'll probably have to rebuild that bit from scratch.....as it stands it'll work up to a point, fortunately for us Cylons were never ones for extreme poses, even when they were shot LOL.

Cheers

Unimatrix, doesn't Blender import obj files? If not we'll sort something else out

I know the Poser obj mesh will be a solid 1 piece affair, but if you like i'll post a link to the individual obj parts I used to set this up in Poser, if that helps, (I'm also doing the same with the original LW version too). I really hope you do get it to work in Blender mate, and if you do, I also hope you release it yourself as a freebie to the community.

Cheers

Billy

Billy -

Fabulous job, I just have a quick question… for some reason I keep getting missing files for the silver reflection and the model never comes up with a hip section/crotch... is that something wrong with the one I grabbed or is that an early beta thing?

Very well balanced for pull/push kinetics, BTW!

Yep your right, the missing hip section is one of the things I need to fix, it's that way because of the base figure I used for the rigging, I need to edit the cr2 to fix that.
The reflection map is usually installed with Poser, but I'll remember to include it with the zip on the next release.

Cheers

I suppose he's good enough for the Downloads area as he stands now mate, I've now had a chance to work on him for months, I had to work on the commercial Dystopia products, we decided to upgrade them all before we moved the lot over to DAZ.

I'm going to try and fix the hip/legs over the holiday period, I might give ZBrush a go for these parts this time, since I struggled badly making them in LW.

Cheers
