MattyManx Appreciation thread.

As a prior Poser user I was slow to give up on V4 to embrace G2f just before G3 was released. As a fan of Genesis 2, I found MattyManx's poses and sets to be well made and of an outstanding quality. Its the little things that really catch my eye, like the way he does his thumbnails iamges. They are easy to see and laid out in for ease of use. Even though he has not put out a new set for G2f I am still excited to pick up some of his G2 sets when I can.
Some of you may not know this but Matty also converted a lot of the Star trek and Star Wars ships and props for use in Poser and Studio a few years back. It wasn't the easiest to do, (He made a tutorial for others to do it so we all saw the steps needed.) He did this for the 3D community without asking for anything in return. I am not taking anything from the other PA's that do the same thing, but Matty's work for the community had a direct impact on my art and many others in the Star Trek thread.
If you have a favorite MattyManx set or story, please share it here and let Matty know how much he is appreciated.
Thanks Matty!!

I love all the Star Wars stuff. I need to use more of it. LOL
As always, the contribution is very much appreciated. :)
Thank you very much Shadowhawk!
Personal favorites for me are the three "Model Me This" sets.
I just picked up your Friends for Life and Various Poses set 1 & 2. The Model Me series is next on my list to grab. Kind of blew my budget grabbing the sets I grabbed today so those two will have to wait a couple of weeks but you can bet that I will be grabbing them as soon as I can.
Awsome, thank you very much Shadowhawk!
More than Welcome Matty. We have talked here and at DA several times and I have always been impressed with your friendly attitude and williness to help others. I always like to support vendors like yourself. Not sure what I am going to do once I get all of your G2f sets since you have moved on to G3. I have your newest car in my wishlist waiting for its one year anniversary. I hope you have other vehicles planned so I can continue to support you in the furture.

I own a couple of Matty's pose sets, but I have 3 of his incredibly detailed vehicles (Furrawri, Llamaghini Amenezador 2, and the convertible Roadster version, plus the expansion pack)--the only Daz Encrypted Content I have purchased, with the exception of a Daz Original pose set that I got during the holiday sale for less than $2.
I share this because as much as I am against encrypted content and have intentionally avoided purchasing such content, I made an exception for Matty's vehicles because (a) the quality and attention to detail is through the roof, and (b) when Matty was "challenged" in the forums for adopting encryption for the Llamaghini 2, his response was genuine and heartfelt; he didn't argue with those who had strongly opposing views or try to justify why encryption was a good thing, he simply stated why he thought it was right for him. I may not agree with encrypted content, but I was happy to support such a talented and genuine artist.
I hope sales of his recent non-encrypted vehicles encourage him to continue in that direction and that he continues to create more high quality content.
Thanks for sharing pds, I know the thread you were talking aobut and while I didn't chime in, I saw Matty's reasoning and I respect it. However I still have my view on the matter and I have chosen to support him as well just in a different way. I am glad to hear that the Llamaghini Amenezador 2 is as good as it looks. As much as I would love to snatch the cars up right now, I will wait till they have reached their year and then I will buy them, at full price if neccesary, as I believe in his products that mutch.
The Braces are just fun. They add a nice touch of "reality" to smile when you have a character in the typical age range that requires orthodontia. :)
I have wondered aobut that. I keep thinking about adding it to my wishlist but so far I keep talking myself out of it.
So Matty .... what amazing items do you have in store for us in 2017?
Thank you again very much everyone.
I admit the braces are a bit basic and dont not fit a lot of figures. Auto fit wont work with it cause they are props and not clothing. But if you dont mind doing manual adjustments they could work with custom shapes.
To be honest, I dont talk about up comming products, not even with fellow PAs. But I am working away on new things.
I am used to having to manually fit stuff to figures, so thats not an issue, but thanks for the heads up :D
I can respect that Matty, but you never know until you ask right? I will keep an eye peeled for your next masterpiece!
Matty is the man!
That he is!
