Export character

Is there a way (and is it legal) to export COV character. I want to recreate it in either poser or 3d max. The screenshots are to fuzzy…….

if their is, I'm sure it's something the art department doesn't advertise >.>

Your best bet is to create your costume in 3dmax, and then import that to work with a poser model. See Dark Jedi's post in the Poser Help thread.

Alternativly, if you have Photoshop, I made all the screenshot manips on my DA page using just photoshop and cut outs of screenshots. There's limits to that however obviously. the biggest one I've found is changing the expression on the character's face. Change it too much and it doesn't look like a 'screenshot' anymore, don't change it at all and it's the same plastered on placid look your character has had their whole career.

if you are just looking to fix fuzziness, I have a couple tips. The biggest one is two parts: Demorecording and the smudge brush in your favorite image editor.

I generally make a demo of whatever action shot I want to capture, then jack up my graphic settings to max, and replay the demo and dump every frame to a .tga. Then I open them in photoshop, and get the shots I want - now at high res and no chance of missing the 'printscreen' button by a half second. Then I smudge the pixely edges with a really low strength and small brush. That generaly fixes most of it.

reposes and repaints like what I do are a little more complicated, but that's where I start. If you're looking for 3d renders though - yeah, gonna have to make your own costume out of other people props or from scratch yourself. then fit it to a Poser model.



Hope that helps
