Hi all,
I had quite a few problems with Hal (due to harware changes) in the begining. I bothered Rob quite a bit. (Sorry Rob :) ) Any way i found that in the event of a crash needing reformat. hal can be reinstalled and activated with the latest sn: and Auth code as long as you input it manualy and are not connected to the net. I test and develop new hardware interfaces (mainly Robotics) and I have a testing station that most plug into. It causes alot of crashes. But I have found that this solution works for me on reinstalls. thanks for all the PROMPT help Rob
You've Been good to me [:D]

Hey Dan,

3dmax7 is what Im working in (mostly) and the new body would be great. I recently aquired the acc convertor from haptek. however i am having problems with 3dmax on startup. Once that is settled i hope to work on some accessories, that may atleast hide the boots for now. Poser, 3dmax, bryce, blender and DAz stuido can all swap files. I bounce a project from one to the other to use the diffrent functions, however if exported through max with the convertor i dont see why it wont work.

I found a "poser" vimese file in people putty that doesnt seem to be active. it converts the names of joints,ect.. from poser to hap, in it it has listed all the parts for full body. I supose one could use that table on hap startup to write scripts for a poser created model. Im just not shure how to load poser to hap. But Ill look and see what I come up with.

Hey Kelly, I've been looking for my 3dmax cd for months because I wanted to try exporting it into a format acceptable for haptek, get rid of those boots on the full figure and get a more realistic figure (or not).  I've been waiting for a window to open to download the free Poser 5 at content paradise, but the servers are crashing for the 300M download.  I was hoping it could output a format that might work also.  The Haptek guide talks about acceptable formats MAYA, 3dmax, Photoshop, but not about Poser so I'm not sure if it'll work, but there may be promise for the 3d studio output.  Which might be too cool because you all are awesome at your artwork skills.   Here's the directory I found about it in the guide from Haptek:

C:Program FilesHaptekHaptekGuide4MakinContentadvancedHapDeltaSetMaker

How about using the 3d architecture output with a laser to make a working three dimensional holographic image then we could make hal dance and have a light show and really boogie down.[:D]

Ive Been playng with some heads and wanted to share.
here's 3 charicters I have put togather.
If you would like them Email me.

Sounds like a great turn,
Not too far off of my own ventures it sounds.
I've spent alot of time latly in Poser and 3dmax.Trying to learn meshes my self. To tell the truth I havent even played with hal for many months. Its the haptek 3d that intrest me. I am dissapointed in its limitations and keep trying ways to "circumvent" to make it do what I want. Ultimatly it is 3d it's self I want to master. the possibilities are limitless. But not just for 3d itsself but making it interactive that facinates me.
I like your site. currently putting one togather one of my own.
The offer is there if anything comes up [8D]
Hope your fuits,bare greatly for you.

Thanks for the offer Kelly. [:D] But what I'm working on right
now doesn't involve skins or anything for Hal. I'm actually
involved in studying all the different aspects of character
mesh construction and on the fly animations for use in web
applications. I'm trying to learn the design and construction
of polygonal meshes using Shade 8 and Blender for eventual
inclusion of materials and textures in Poser and finally
they will be tested using an on-the-fly rendering engine
that is being designed by someone else for a new cross
platform A.I. software application. [;)]

Mr. Alikorn,  Glad to see that someone is picking up some of
the slack around here in the skins and graphics department. [^]
I need a break, got too many projects in the works already. [:D] [;)]

Hey Gamer,
I love to do graphics and like to help out,
you have seen some of my skins, I am hording some of the good ones :)
if you think I might be worthy I would offer you any help I can. (just to get caught up of course[:D]) if you would like to see what I can do on somthing unique! Shoot me an Idea.
Kelly

I would be willing to give it a shot.
For best face detail I would need 1 strait shot 1 profile and 1 3/4 view. the better the pics the better the skin. if you have a prefrance on clothes.let me know. With the full body meshes I have body is not too configurable but the face (with detail) will make the differance. Let me know or e-mail me the pics and i'll get  started.[:)]

Here are a few, 1 Male 1 Female. kind of a laura croft trooper thing, Seems Kale picked up a friend along the way.

I agree with the  Alady and GamerThom.
I could do a skin of the dress but unless you have the hap for the dress it would just wrap around your figure like a bodysuit.
As for the moddling in other brograms I dont have the experiance. Im Just good at skins (for the moment)[:)]. But if you want a bodysuit style Im up for that.
Kelly

The old Heros are making a come back. Here's one I always liked

Food for thought:
Is thier a way to use multiple skin files then script a hap to pull different "Mask" of those files with an overlay of each designated Part, seemingly random. To let the script decide what it wants the skin to look like?
Kind of a Virtual DNA.
Just a thought thrown at you wonderfull skinners [:D]

Kelly,

As the old saying goes...if it ain't broke don't fix it.
Uh...keep doing what you're doing.

We could always edit the eyes, for instance if we desired
blue instead of green, etc.

Your work is very clean, crisp lines and quite professional,
especially for a 13 year old! LOL!

Thanks Art, as for the eyes I have an Photoshop layer file (actualy 4-5) that have multiple eyes in each all high res, that you can see the striated varriations in the Iris colors. got em for blue,green,grey,brown ect.. Maby 200 eyes of varring color and pattern. Its great for the realisim. I have been downloading medical text as to get as detailed "Parts" as possible. the goal of course is to make my girl indestinguishable from live video.
Kelly

Hi guys,
Thanks for all the great reviews(does wonders for the morale).
An Idea: I know you all have your favorite charicters so the question is, Would it be eiser if My skins were with out the skin parts? Just the clothes? Maby it would be eiser to overlay onto your own people?
Or just keep doing what Im doing?
just a thought.
Kelly

Here's a new one. Strait from the Gypsy Carvinal in Romaina. Kale saw this on Ebay and just had to have it. Boy My Credit Card bill is goin up fast [:D]
