Yes, all of my humanoid units (except for the gatling gun) were made in Poser 5. All of my vehicles have been made in Bryce 5, but I've managed to learn enough about OpenFX to make some of the more complicated parts (like the fin and wings of the HildaGarde III and the upper fuselage of the Gelnika), then import them into bryce. I've also used OpenFX to make the Buster Sword prop I used in my Cloud Strife and Shinra SOLDIER units.

 

[Quinzy]

wow. cool! a man of many programs!

 

[Wyrmshadow]

God start, but your palettes need a lot of work. Try out this template I made with my settings for my bryce stuff. It has clearer colors and lighter shadows.
If you have any IM programs, PM me if you want questions answered.

 

[Stormrage]

Quinzy, that second preview looks awesome!

 

[Quinzy]

@wyrm: thanks for the setup! really helpful!
@storm: thanks for the compliment!

 

[Quinzy]

my god! units are so fickle!
i tried using the ironclad .pal file for the second unit previewed but for some reason all the silver/grey goes pink. magic 255,0,255 pink!
why does it work for the 'clad and not for the other one?!?

 

[DJ Bonebraker]

Quinzy, I think the Pal file you used may be corrupt. I've taken the liberty of using one of my own custom chop-shop pallettes and converting the storyboard to PCX format for you. Try saving the pallette from it and using that.
