This was before I discovered the utility of shaders, so I created a seamless marble texture tile and laborious applied it to the angel&#8217;s body, hair, wings and dress, as well as her plinth.<\/p>\n<p>Then <a href=\"http:\/\/www.daz3d.com\/muusa-the-myth\">Muusa The Myth,<\/a> a character package and set for V4 by Forbidden Whispers, FWDesign and Daz, appeared on deep discount. It contains a fully human texture, a full stone texture and various textures to represent the character in the process of enstonement. The set, of course, contains a platform to stick her on after transforming her. I used the stone texture and my go-to texture for digital people, RBSD Merchant Base by rebelmommy and shellyw, to create a more stepwise progression on enstonement, thanks to the help of my limited Photoshop Elements skills. I really enjoyed myself, and I&#8217;m now trying to apply these skills to another set of stepwise transformation textures &#8212; this time, a tree. What type of tree depends on what type of tree I can find locally to scan bark and leaves from.<\/p>\n<p>Anyway, back to statues. Now I have my own <a href=\"http:\/\/www.daz3d.com\/ingenious-rock-shaders\">Ingenious Rock Shaders<\/a> by JGreenlees\/Daz, so I can make statues of people [and gravestones] without manual application of my own texture tiles. Whoo hoo!<\/p>\n<p>I also just found this hilarious product in the Daz store: Canary3D&#8217;s <a href=\"http:\/\/www.daz3d.com\/sculptural-genesis-ultra-fun-kit\">Sculptural Genesis Ultra Fun Kit.<\/a> It&#8217;s a kit of Daz shaders, full-body poses, hand poses, objects to hold and objects to stand on &#8212; all to aid in the creation of humanoid statues based on Genesis figures. The great number of material shaders alone make this worth the price, even if I weren&#8217;t going to use it for statues. The wonderful details &#8212; like the conforming fig leaf to stick in the statue&#8217;s crotch and the shades so that one can make figures into lamps &#8212; move the package from merely cool to must-have.<\/p>\n<p>Yeah&#8230;like I need more humanoids in my runtime&#8230;<br type=\"_moz\" \/><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: smaller;\">This entry was originally posted at <a href=\"http:\/\/modernwizard.dreamwidth.org\/1642003.html\">http:\/\/modernwizard.dreamwidth.org\/1642003.html<\/a>.
