Search for Jack

Definately the red Jill. And the Britney Jill is totally awesome. Major props!

;D 8-) :

Don't make her wear the suit thats on her! Make her wear a jack-suite for girls! ;D

Wingy,

How many brothers and sisters wear the same thing?

Here's an animation based on a red haired Jill at the correct size, 64X64. Since it's in Flash format you need to shrink the browser window to see it without pixellation.

That's kinda... well... I don't like it... She should wear a adventure suite like Jack's! His is a adventure suit!

[Psychotronic]

She does seem a little ill-equipped for tomb raiding. She's got more of a cat burglar thing going. Part of what makes Jack so likable is that he's kind of dumpy and dorky. If his sister is too sexy, she'll just be another silly video game bombshell on an extreme mission for marketable awesomeness. I'd at least give her giant glasses.

The run animation looks fantastic, though.

[Freddy]

Yes. We need a

sister

that wants to carry a rugsack!

Point taken Psychotronic....

I've been searching the boards for the software I'm using, DAZ3D for morphs that will allow me to make her shorter and dumpier and definitely LESS sexy.
FYI Daz3D uses geometric meshes to create and animate meshes. Jill is actually the free character mesh AIKO3. Morphs are modifications that can be done to the meshes. Several of the other character meshes have really nice morphs that allow you to scale there bodies to dumpy or fat or skinny or emaciated, etc. What I'm proud of with the animation is the smoothness of the motion. When I get Jills body right I can apply the transforms to that body. By the way I did the transforms in Poser 6 walk designer.

Which brings up another point. I've got a very spiffy backpack mesh which I'd like to use with her but there's no way to change to a set of graphics that have or don't have a backpack.

Joe,

Have you seen Zbrush? It may not be suitable for your Jill character but something you may be interested in further down the road. It's like...sculpting in 3d...with pixels. Here are some links if you're interested:

Wow, that app. looks impressive! But I don't think Joe would want to spend $500 just to get a good Jill!

[joeb]

Thanks Scout. I already have it around somewhere on a machine. With my MacBookPro I'm up to 10 machines (11 if you count the Mac 512Ke that I occasionally start just to make sure it still works). 6 Macs, 4 Windows. Like most of the software I have I use it for specific things, MM not being one of them.
But thanks for the thought!!!
