Would this claw be OK for the lizardman figure? the fingers are large and clumsy, and there is only three of them, then with the way the hand is shaped, it'll be hard to hold anything like guns etc. - poles and swords it should hold fine but other than that I dunno... is it worth putting on claws like this, or leaving a human hand with claw morphs? I'm waiting on Travellers new P4 male sock morph before doing the feet, he said it should be out by the end of the week (thanks trav!)...I'm going to do them as "human" foot morphs instead of replacing them, because for some reason feet are weird, and I don't want to mess up the walk designer or anything Are there any easy ways to "add" a bodypart to a figure? Or do I have to totally build the figure up again from scratch? SewerRat

Well you could hide the fingers and palm, and replace the forarms with your claw hands. Then you could make morphs to open/close the hand. Or you could totally rebuild the figure.

I was planning to cut the claw into a hand and fingers, then replace the hand and three of the fingers, and redo the joint parameters the "adding extra body parts" question was more about how I can attach the tail. I've decided to have the tail as an extra figure so it can be removed, but I'd still like to know for future reference =) SewerRat

Here is another idea for you. Make the hands new figures, hide the old hands and figures and parent the claw hand figures to the forearm of the main poser person. That way you can use them for male or female. The tail can be done the same way (thats how i did my play lizard) so it is reuseable.

your play lizard? yeah, that's the way I'd prefer to do it actually but I don't want to give out a hundred seperate figures all parented together Would it be possible to use the same method, but with "posable props" for the hands and tail? I was reading somewhere about renaming a figure and moving it to another directory and it acts like a prop? SewerRat

Here is a lizard man figure I have almost done- just fixing the JP's. problem is that dispite how it looks there is not a single original vertex in it. I made it using the poser4 man, the Zygote gemlin (for the hands) teh Zygote DRagion for teh legs and tail. and the T-rex from teh Funstuff. Took a litle tweaking but got them to work togetehr than exported it in OBJ. Again can't give it out unless you have bothe th Dragon and Gremlin. Any idea how to distribute this thing? (Maz's mover will only encrypts with one file) "Phil" Hokusai

whoa! puts my lizard to shame, which is just the human with the raptor head and tail I don't know how to distribute this...I guess make it look up the obj files from the zygote directories and don't distribute those? I wouldn't know how to go about that 'tho... SewerRat

what if you only send the cr2. I have bought both the dragon & gremlin. Dought many have. I'd love to have your Lizard man tho.....

I'd also like this one Phil! I have all the files you said were needed. How about PZ3? AR

Sorry still working on the JP and if any would liek to work on the texure give me a buzz. Also teh figure has its own OBJ so simply the CR2 will not hack it. "Phil" Hokusai

heya; sewer, as i understand it, a 'posable prop' is just a prop item that is a figure. like -3-'s casket, anton/hokusai's wings, the various chains, plants, nerd's campfire, etc. they're not figures as we think of them, but they are figures to poser (cr2's). hokusai... you might try to encode the obj with just the gremlin or the dragon (whichever you used the most of). or maybe the p4 man? then the extra stuff will be differences from that figure.... no, i guess then that would mean people wouldn't need the gremlin and dragon to decode it. get maz! :)

why can't you decode the figure using the gremlin, then take that obj and decode it using the dragon? it'll be more trouble to decode in the end 'tho, but worth it for a model like this =) SewerRat

I thought night crawler had a normal hand, but with four fingers? I've only seen one "real" picture of him and didn't see anything weird about his hands, I didn't notice claws but I don't know much about him, so I wouldn't really know SewerRat
