My self-imposed one week deadline to get this released has come and gone. That was a result of having to take a detour into making texture/trans/bump maps for the Poser4 unitard. I had never tried it before now. I have to say I have gained a greater respect for the folks doing clothes using the cat suit and unitard. It took a while to figure out the ins and outs but I think I've made a pretty good start. I decided to scrap the earlier top and bottom because I wanted something a like more unique for this figure. The suit will be released with the top and bottom in white as pictured That's because there are so many different color schemes in the wing textures that will be offered. OK, some notes on the image. The hair is K's new trans-mapped pony tail. The face is Yamato's Young Nene face exported as an MT and applied at a setting of 0.5. There is a multi-morph for the chest and unitard to keep them in sync when I reduced the chest. The texture and bump map for this are getting way too large. I'm doing them at 2048 X 2048 so I have enough definition for the light effects. I'll try to reduce them but I may have to offer them as a seperate download item. The textures on the wings bones are currently being re-worked for more resolution. The shoulder pads are poseable so they can be positioned correctly when the arms are moved. One problem I'm having is knowing when to quit on this figure. It seems that every time I start working on her I think of some new detail to add. The way it's going I'll have to publish it on a CD rather then putting it on my website. ;-)
