Re: The "Bride" of the "M'Ress Appreciation Thread"
Thank Poser content creator Oshikai for those sweet items! He released a purchase item he titled the "Retro Dress", fitted for DAZ's Aiko 3 and marketed as a generic 1960s "mod" fashion. However, with a free "after market" addition he also provides, the generic "go-go" outfit becomes one of the most screen accurate 3D recreations of the (in)famous William Ware Theiss "uniform" supplying the proper division colors, chevrons and every rank braid from ensign to captain. That "add-on" set also has the "spat" type leggings modeled to fitt the digitigrade paw morphs Anchronicity offers in his "Kasa for Aiko" pack.
Sincerely,
Bill

Re: The "Bride" of the "M'Ress Appreciation Thread"
Nice, I like that, reminds me very much of Court Jones' sketches of Kzinti he did for Jimmy Diggs' Kzinti movie pitch.Not M'Ress (not unless she got "devolved" somehow), but why choke the forum with new thread's when this one will do?
The base figure actually a werewolf available at DAZ, but with the morphs so far provided, I was able to warp the muzzle into something marginally feline. I'll be able to improve upon it when another merchant releases a new set of controls that create lions, and tigers, and bears (Oh, my!) and other other mammals associated with various lycanthropy myths.
To make this beastie resemble Larry Niven's (in)famous Kzinti, I swapped the included tail for a third party prop (modeled and rigged by my friend Little_Dragon) which, as you cab see here, can be morphed int a rat-like tail. I shrunk the existing ears into the mesh of the head and positioned, get this, dragon wings to achieve the bat wing appearance Niven described in his various novels. To keep this semi Trek related, I stood the "rat-cat" upon Ptrope's TOS era transporter pad.
I can almost "hear" one of the various musical "stings" used in the original series as the Kzin materializes upon the platform, particularly the one used when Gary Seven first beamed aboard.

Bill
Re: The "Bride" of the "M'Ress Appreciation Thread"
I have reworked that setup, obtaining morphs and textures that present a much better feline typw face. (This version looks more like Scooby Doo ran into a wall!) But since I'm at work, the company firewall won't let me access my PhotoBucket account where I have the updated composition.
I'll have to retuen home before I can hot-link it.

Re: The "Bride" of the "M'Ress Appreciation Thread"
Not the most dynamic pose, but I wanted to showcase the ensemble and not obscure it. I particularly like the "wrap" because it looks like something Bill Theiss might have designed and fitted. Like several of his costumes, you wonder if (read: hope) it might dislodge itself.
I didn't model the items, but I did play with "material nodes" to give them that distinctive TOS look. I call that glittery effect "Tholian shell".

Re: The "Bride" of the "M'Ress Appreciation Thread"
Thought it was about time I presented something beyond a "pin-up". Not all the activities can be presented as glamour shots. Besides, it gave me a chance to try some coveralls that somewhate resemble those from the original series, at least "close enough for government work".
I had a lil' fun with the lighting, placing one up the Jefferies tube, causing it to cast an ovoid "spot" upon the deck and another right in front of the scanner to better illuminate her face. Without it, M'Ress' face was pretty much in shadow.

Re: The "Bride" of the "M'Ress Appreciation Thread"
Nice render, Bill. Looks like a young LT. hard at work doing the grunt work. One thing, though. Wouldn't she be really uncomfortable with cloths over the fur? Wouldn't she over-heat? I know our Golden Retriever over-heats every time my wife tries to put some holiday "outfit" on her during whatever celebration is afoot.....
Again, nice work Bill!

I beg to differ. All activities certainly can be presented as glamour shots. As any good pin-up calender can attest too.

Re: The "Bride" of the "M'Ress Appreciation Thread"
Weird... Forum choke upon some earlier posts, yet the raunchy retort uploads without a hitch.
What I tried to say earlier about outfits and furred lifeforms was this...
Two reasons to wear a jumpsuit that "trumps" discomfort (both put forth by Mark Stanley, creator of the web-comic "FreeFall").
1. Prevents (well, reduces) shedding fur from clogging the air filtration system.
2. Reduces chances of fur getting snagged in the machinery.
Otherwise, I'm all for nearly nekkid cat-girls. ;-)
