    If you have Defiant for Genesis, I've made a texture set that has been already posted in the freebie but for ease of finding here you go.
    One for Enterprise and one for my first graphic novel O'Bannon in one file.

    https://hotfile.com/dl/167787064/a4bbc14/TOS_for_Defiant_-PDSmith.zip.html

    Enjoy and happy futzing. Sorry I don't have any suggestion for skins to bring out the characters features.

    I have this already ... but for any members who don't, it's also DO, so if one hasn't yet used their coupon it could be "free" .... can't beat that price :-)

    Great work on this Paul and I was glad I could help you out Bro. I guess having a DS user in the family isn't all bad ... for now. I have updated the list to add this set of morphs and added in the tilte that the Gen3 legacy morphs were required. Can't wait to see what the next projet brings.

    In this set are a couple of textures, the black and the grey which may be useful for ST pants if using the Casual Jeans.
    Having read somewhere that the [or some of] TOS pants were of black denim jeans, well ... with a little artistic license as these are not ST specific they may be of interest to some.

    Defiant? hah, for a second I thought you were talking about the little ship in Deep Space 9. lol

    I think I have Defiant for Genesis. Thanks for sharing the textures.

    How does one hide the bits on the Dart and put the Tesla texture....I downloaded and put in the updated warp pack, but can't find the hiding feature or the texture for the life of me. o.O

    Sorry - I completely missed this question :(.

    If you're using Poser, I've included the following materials (in the "Materials" library), named accordingly:

    Libraries\materials\Ptrope\Dart Hide Keel_Pylons.mc6 (be sure to select the DART, not the WarpPack!)
    Libraries\materials\Ptrope\Dart Hide Nosecone.mt5 (again, be sure to select the DART)
    Libraries\materials\Ptrope\Dart Tesla.mc6 (goes without saying, huh? ;) )

    You'll need to use all of these.

    If you're using D|S, these won't work - I guess it doesn't import Poser Materials, but there is a thread here in the forum on how to convert MT5 and MC6 files to PZ2 files (MAT poses) using a text editor that has advanced Find/Replace (like Notepad++, or the one I use, TextPad), which D|S can read. Keep in mind, however, that the 'Tesla' materials use several nodes that D|S probably won't interpret correctly, so you would need to manually adjust them.

    And I ran this poor ship through Decimator and again managed to lower the count. Covered it with a shader ... a little battle worn perhaps.

    Studio 4.5 also supports the following Poser formats (.cr2, .pz2, .pp2, .fc2, .pp2, .mc6, .lt2). It does not support .pz3 (Poser Scene) format or Python Scripts. - from the Understanding Content File Types.

    https://helpdaz.zendesk.com/entries/22890557-Understanding-Content-File-Types

    ? I'll have to pay more attention to which edition I'm using ... I've been putting poser scenes files into a pose folder inside the Runtime and so far they've loaded fine. [except all the extra lights/cameras/etc for Poser can be deleted of course and replaced with ones for D/S].

    One: I re-upped the first book of my Mirror Universe series. It had mistakes and didn't fall in line with the ending of this 14 book roller coaster. All fixed. I'll be swapping out the old for the new one in a few days.

    Two: I've been talking with Scott8539, those that dont' know, he's the maker of the m4/v4 TNG morphs. He's asked me to re-release his morphs into one package for ease of use and finding.

    Three: Still working on the morphs issue and the same person, he has some other morphs he want's converted and released for Genesis and up. I'm still researching how to make that DSON thing work so you Poser users can have it work with an imported Genesis character or that new young lady DAZ doesn't like you to talk about, and will delete your forum messages for advertiseing a product they don't support.

    Four: Morphs. This is a side project I'm working, if you have a morph and it is your own for V4 or M4 or heck even V3/M3. I'll make them into a Genesis morph to update them and then email it back to you so you can post it for revised use. I'm not in this for name recognition, I get that from my stories. I just see a lot of older and real good morphs that are no long being used. PM me here or Note me over at DA to make arrangements for updating your morphs.

    Four: Self gratification here....I sent an image to a fellow scifi fan here where I work. it was mailed around the office very quickly, they are going to blow it up as a poster to kick off their Breast Cancer Awareness events next week. to say the least I'm surprised.

    And to think that I thought you were taking a break! Congrats on them using your image as a poster for thier Breast Cancer awareness campain. Although for some reason I am seeing you carrying that poster around offering to give free exams. :cheese: You keep converting all of these morphs to Genesis and you might just tempt me to try exporting Genesis to Poser to try again.

    This is intended to work with another product, however partially applied can also be a useful addition to the morph collection.

    Looking for help.

    So far I've think I've got Deanna down as best as I can. But haveing a Witch of a time with Bev. The hair and skin are so far off I'm at a loss for what to use.

    Suggestions please.

    I could use them for the original bases (M4 and V4), as well as for Genesis. Paul is doing a fantastic job converting them to Genesis.

    I've been working on setting up for the next Mirror Universe book this weekend. but plan to spend one of the next couple of days making the Genesis morphs of Scott's morph's. Also at his request I'm going to be combining those morphs into one file. ie all you're v4/m4 needs in one location.

    So you'll have all the TNG characters but Riker and Picard in one pack as well as these others I seem to suddenly of acquired.

    ALL!!!

    If you have a morph and in the readme it says it was made by Scott8539. Let him know!

    He had a hard drive crash some time ago and is looking for all of them again. And there is the slight possibility of getting them updated to Genesis.

    Current upcoming morphs include:

    Wesley
    Lwaxana (the Matron of all passion...and lest not forget...daughter of the Fifth House of Betazed, the Holder of the Sacred Chalice of Rixx, and Heir to the Holy Rings of Betazed.
    Jackman (Wolverine I think. if so, cool! Klingons got a new drinking buddy!)
    Hitgirl (No idea who it is)
    Hanzo (no idea who that is.. might be Hanzo the Razor)
    Deanna (may be different or the same, haven't had a chance to play with her yet.)

    On the side I'm op-testing GeorgeHaz's new flight suit. The ship looks ready, I think he's going to be selling that. where? I'd say I have a fair idea where would be good. But that's up to him.

    Paul, your morphs are looking great. Where'd you get the NG corridor you're using? I'm going to need one for the last 2 Nova Trek books. Is it on our list?

    The original came from Sketchup Warehouse but the conversion came with a ton of broken or overlapping figures. So this one is an almost complete rebuild from the ground up.

    I'm no good at making runtimes but can box it up as a obj/mtl file if you like.

    *************

    Guess I should of mentioned. the skirt in my images is HOT Uniform http://www.daz3d.com/hot-uniforms-secretary. and not part of couragous as expected. - sorry.

    Tech aspects for the skirt: I've removed the belt and buckle from the skirt (can't get rid of the belt loops) I mirrored the fabric of the jacket and then dialed it down a bit to show texture differences.
