Will she get any expansions like Cyborg Model 4 did? Will he get anymore beyond that first expansion?

She's on my screen right now getting a new helmet. M4 is in the works and I'm still taking suggestions

*On a side note, they are getting their own facility for repairs and such that will also house a soon to be released Mech from another big named PA

I was hoping there'd be more expansions - I am truly in love with the V4 Cyborg! It's been a while since a product was released that made my Muse explode. *grin*

I was looking at one of the props for the face, the china doll one I think it is, and wanting to retexture it to put different makeups on ...like fantasy/sci fi type ones, but I can't figure it out - cos I am a complete doofus when it comes to texturing. Any tips?

I went the route of converting her to weight mapping so I could use some Genesis things. I made this image my current desktop image. I cropped it down for the forum.

Ok, goto the Cyborg Version 4 page, click on the Resource Files tab, (near bottom of the page) , and click on the blue Templates link. Save link to hd and extract. Goto where you extracted the templates, and open CyberV4face_T.jpg in your favorite image editor like Gimp (for example) . You will see a wireframe mesh grid of a face mask in the upper left corner.

Make a new layer in Gimp and you can start painting over that area which will apply to the face mask when saved and loaded in as a new texture. What you paint over on the new layer or paste over from another resource is up to you...

Hope this helps.

Keep your eyes peeled on the 'new' Facebook page for upcoming expansion packs.

Very nice image

Is there a way to export/import the triax weightmapping? Would love to have it without having to start from scratch myself

with he release of Horse 2, will there be a cyber horse?

I just saved a scene so that I don't have to go through each of the steps each time.

I crashed DAZ Studio Pro 4 quite a few times during render. You definitely want to save a scene before attempting a render. I found that if it crashed during render I could try again with a reduced the pixel render size until I hit the sweet spot. Lights also can cause a crash. I have an older system that hasn't got a lot of free hard drive space so I would end up with out of memory "fatal" errors if I tried to render too big or had too many lights. If you do the cyber face, convert the prop over to a figure so you can have it adjust with the genesis shape. The steps are in one of the cyber model M4 threads. If you need the steps, I made some screen grabs and can post those if you don't know how to do it or can't find the thread.

She's also fun when converted to Genesis because you can do cool things like make killer shark cyborgs. This also has the china doll face prop converted to a figure and set to TriAx weight mapping.

There are some stretch issues as this is an extreme shape but those I fixed with some postwork in Photoshop CS5. Below I attached an image of the cyborg as rendered in DAZ Studio 4 Pro.

Note: I turned the cyborg V4 teeth in surfaces to 0% opacity as the teeth go crazy when you do an extreme shape. The teeth were dropping below the china doll face.

Hehe, sweet... I think a lot of people were hoping for a genesis version of these

If you find the link to the other thread I'd be interested in looking through it.
