    And ty Laschae for answering navibass' questies. Yeah, the hair is a conformer. I usually do them conforming, because it has advantages that prop hair doesnt have (like the ability to be JCM'd, for example, so people don't have to do adjustments for that- and this hair is no exception... its got a few JCM's in it) as well as posable pieces. But the drawback is that its harder to work with, since u cant just move it about to fit other things. But like Laschae said, there are a bunch of morphs in it, and the piggy tails pose. Its pretty nice to work with. Its actually prolly my fave hair Ive ever made.

    Thank you for the additional informations :) , just ordered it 2 mn ago, so I'll test it on A4/S4 petite proportionned chars to see what happens. Usually figure hairs are harder than props to fit in this situation, but I've noticed these figure hairs can sometimes be resized/moved, by selecting either hip or body in Poser.

    By the way, when watching promo pics again before ordering, I thought the sole on sandals could perhaps be hidden in material room, to make them look more like 'foot-jewels' ? Gonna try this :) . Thanks again.

    Nice renders Laschae (character in 2nd one is amazing), and everyone :D

    As far as the hair in Poser goes if you make sure you check the 'include scales when conforming' box in the properties tab it scales nice and smooth (at least for me it has) :D

    I will say it does have an A4 fit.... I put it in coz one of my testers likes Aiko, and wanted to be able to use it with her. As for S4, it should work well using adjustments for her. The only one it most likely won't fit is the girl. Since the head is so large on her, it would have stretched the mesh far too much for that (but someone may be able to get it to fit her, using adj mors.... not sure on that tho)

    And yep, the upper sole can be hidden, so only the jewels remain. I didn't add that particular utility mat in, but it can be done ;)

    Thanks for the tip Laschae, I did read something about it on Renderosity forums last week I think, will try it (usually I rely on Shaderworks's Library Manager 2 to do that, with the 'conform and magnets' option, but it doesn't work on every clothes/hair).

    Thanks again IgnisSerpentus, yes I don't care a lot about G4 morphs as I almost never use it, most important were A4, and S4 proportions, to me.

    Now going offline to test today's goodies :) , wishing you both a good day/evening.

    Yes, that's good advice too. And also goes for the clothing as well, if you need to scale it.

    Here is the results of my quick tests :) , hair and outfit conformed quite nicely here on A4, with S4 proportions dialed at about 250.

    ps : I know Emiko doesn't exactly look Egyptian.. just testing new downloads.

    Great renders jakiblue :)

    K so its been awhile since we did a contest. But Im not doing a render contest.... oh no. :evil grin: We're gonna do trivia.

    As you may or may not know, I studied Egypt for a very long time. So this is what the trivia is going to be based on. Each round is going to get increasingly more difficult.... so better get your thinking caps on :D

    First person to answer the round correct is going to win both of my new sets. Or if you already bought them, Ill give you a choice of something from my store.

    Who's game? Ill be back later with the questions. But I needa get a hellll yeah!

    Hi all! *waves*
    I'm passing through the party thread to say how much I have really enjoyed all the renders. Absolutely stunning work, all of you.

    Very beautiful set Iggy! The poses in particular fill a big need in my runtime and the outfit has tremendous mix-n-match potential with the Queen of the Nile. I'd also love to see a giant scarab that our peeps could ride upon as Dire Bunny suggests. Picture the scarab/shrieker/wasp death match. :lol:

    I don't know if I'll be able to get a render for you, but I'll definately be checking back to look at the pretty pictures.
    cheers!

    As a fellow Egyptophile--yes, very game! :D And in the meantime, just a little sketch render with Serpent Goddess and the Isis textures, Flipmode's Eternal Sands, and Jack Tomalin's King's Pass. Oh, and the horned crown from Pharaohs of the Sun with Bagginsbill's gold shader applied and the hair made invisible. And Sakkara textures with PDEyes and EZSkin 2. Unusual for me, there's no postwork--but this was really just a test render. ;)

    Gorgeous renders you guys!!! WOW, I never thought to do an Akasha styled render with it.... that is KILLER! And Zaarin, I love your render too... that Sakkara character is very striking (and hehe Isis is prolly my fave tex out of the bunch)

    On the topic of trivia, we will get started here in a bit. I just got up, and wanna give ppl a chance to get to the thread so they dont miss it.

    Egyptian Trivia - Round 1: Level, Easy

    The rules.... you can use your googlefu.... but this is a game of speed, so you have to be quick. Knowing stuff off the cuff can be the difference between winning and losing. Also, you should be aware... there are some things I may throw at you that you cannot find on the web lol but Ill save that for harder rounds. First person with all (or most) of the answers correct, wins. If you don't get it first shot though, don't worry.... there will be more opportunities.

    First round will be easier though, just to warm you guys up.

    1: He is the jackal headed God of Ancient Egypt... name him (and no ann, it is not dogface guy lol)

    2: How long did the war between Horus and Set last?

    3: Who is the scorpion goddess? There are actually two, you need to name both....

    4: What is a ship of the desert?

    5: Saqqara is the only place where a step pyramid of its kind exists... but whom was the pyramid built for, and by whom?

    6: He was a heretic Pharaoh, who changed the rule from the polytheistic rule of Amun-Ra to a lone sun god. Name him. And the God.

    7: Why is the lighthouse in Alexandria called Pharos?

    8: Its a temple that contains something from every Pharaoh that ever ruled... name the temple

    9: She was the only one to rule Egypt as a Pharaoh, including donning the full fake beard and nemes - name her. Bonus points if you can get her first name (its one of my fave Egyptian names)

    10: Whom built Abu Simbel?

    Double-lol at jakiblue's replies to the contest :) , excellent ^^ .

    No offence IgnisSerpentus, but I think you've surestimated the average knowledge of ancient Egypt most people do have :) (...and this is just round one lol). Personally I like history, knows a few about some times especially (mostly French revolution, Empire, etc), but here I couldn't even take part to the contest...

    I will try to watch though, this should be entertaining :) hehe. Good luck everyone !

    Too hard eh? lol erm... I tried to keep it easy and googable. All the answers can be searched within a couple seconds.
    But I know there are some Egypt nerds, like me, among us. I used to do these trivia games a lot actually lol
