Question regarding CA3
Hi there, so far Character Artist 3 like all the other profantasy stuff has been a great deal of fun to use and helped a lot with some visualizations.
I had a question that may not have an answer yet but I figure I may as well ask. Are there any intentions of adding modern/future sets to the Creative Artist 3? They'd go well with the Modern and Future sets for CC3 not to mention cosmographer.
It'd be especially cool imho to have them be compatible with the same "models" used for the fantasy armor and all that currently in CA3 because I have some design ideas that would involve gun wielding plate armored soldiers

As we all know, you can't make three-handed monsters with the current symbol library. "That's the rub," as a wizard named William Shakespeare once wrote.
I'd love to have the modern/future work with the fantasy because that would also open up a variety of "steampunk" options which would cover just about every single RPG type out there!
One solution may be some in-depth, step-by-step tutorials on how people can make their own symbols and then promote a user-contributed symbol library for ca3.
Well done with CA3 as it is, but I must admit I use a wide variety of genres and would love to see Old West, 1920-1940s but primarily Future/Sci-Fi/Aliens and Supers/Modern types of additional material.
I would definitely purchase those.
But the moment we print to scale, they offer nothing, as they aren't designed for that. That is when we turn our rendered PNGs into symbols. And I hope that camera settings, non photorealistic renderers, and planned CC3 plus effects will make things look great.
On the other hand: The first time I gone beyound their existing library and made a model, it was about adding maps to the pictures. This way I was able to show some scenes. etc
If I would learn how to use a CC3 made map as terrain for Carrara renders, and would be able to add some houses (stock stuff) based on symbols I would be super happy... And in the Poser Scene there are some very small companies (like the guys behind Poser World web site) so teaming up is possible. I am sure a few who render terrain, etc. would love to pick up CC3 soon, and some of the people here would be so happy to turn their models into CA 3 symbols.
I would suggest teaming up with guys at DAZ, or the operators of Poser World web site, and focus on this topic in a few annual issues.
On the other hand: If people who needs these 1920-1940 era clothes would be okay if we would base them on renders, then it can be done in a few days.
Say: I can start rendering figures (simple light setup, non photorealistic renderers, etc)... Then hair, then clothes, etc. one item at a time, with same camera setup. Then we can see them with different head morphs, etc. and soon it can be used as symbol set. I understand it isn't perfect. I understand it isn't hand drawn. But I am sure if we can have lots of symbols and a quick guide that is worthy of an annual issue. If it is the freebie for this year, I am sure a lot would celebrate.
If a few does this as community project it is either free, or if you reward the contributors with profantasy products or vouchers, it is cheap investment on your part.
