16-17th. Century Costumed figures for C4d?

[ooo]

Only source I can think of is costumed Poser figures (import in C4D with Interposer Pro). At DAZ/Contentparadise/Renderosity you can find some costumised figures with a historic outfit. Not too sure if your particular period is covered though. Mostly fantasy I assume. I'm afraid you have to make the clothing yourself or find someone to do it for you. I'm also interested myself in this kind of clothing for archaeological projects so if anyone knows of a better source?

I remembered poserworld.com having some historical clothing. I checked and they do still have a Henry VII era costume for the P4 Female. Might be worth a try if you have Interposer Pro (although level of detail is not all that high - most details are painted rather than modeled, and uv maps will need work).

Maybe check Daz.com too. They seem to have countless assets for Poser -- even some that don't involve whips and chains. :)

Thanks to you all for your fast responses.

I liked Janas fashion designs, but bespoke models would be financialy beyond my budget.

I followed your leads to Poserworld and Poser 7, and came accross a couple of "peasants" which could be useable, so I'll order Poser 7 and follow 3d Kiwi's Clothilde tutorial on dressing a character.

Should I purchase the "Poser 7 for Cinema" or "Poser 7 for Bodypaint", or just buy the basic package with "Interposer Pro" as the default exporter instead?

Thanks again for any more info

Hold your horses!

If you buy Interposer Pro you actually don't need to buy Poser. You can load/pose/animate your posermodels straight within C4D. The workflow is better than Poser so you can skip that imo.

Poser is an application in its own right. There is the possibility of a hosting plugin version (Poser 7 Pro) in the future but, as suspected, it may be several months before release since it has traded hands from e-Frontier to Smith Micro.

But, interPoser Pro doesn't require Poser. It works with the content from Poser Runtimes (where all of the content, geometry, and image maps are stored) which can be created independent of a Poser install.

You can go either or both directions for clothing figures. Figures are clothed in Poser by 'conforming' the clothes figures to the target figure (this involves automatically linking the like body part joints together). But they can also be dynamic cloth. And there are ways to have both conformed and dynamic sections, though a bit more complicated.

Places to check for content:

Renderosity (http://market.renderosity.com/)
DAZ3D (http://www.daz3d.com/)
Content Paradise (http://www.contentparadise.com/us/user/home.php)
PhilC (http://www.philc.net/)

The last link not only has some period costumes but an excellent application, Wardrobe Wizard 2.0, that allows clothes for one figure to be converted for use on another (as clothing items only work with their intended figure). I think that this version not only runs in Poser but also as an independent application.

Thanks for the tip about not needing Poser, but I may still buy it for the collection of body types and animals/props etc. I certainly would prefer to pose it in C4d though.

Thanks for your links. They have opened up a whole new world of resources. I have found the set of Elizabethan figures that were mentioned above and will try re-painting them in Bodypaint. The Renderosity C4d forum was a very welcome find and Content Paradise sells some wonderful PS brushes for water, fog & foam effects for post work on C4d renderings.

great tips all round!
