A little eye texture test using Fon.

elynda: i like him or her :)

Slon likes Nan's new Mikey Vest too.

He looks quite dashing in it too.

How cute is that?

Ooooo! Nice addition to the images here. :)

Hi everybody, have missed all the old fun...Wayii, great to see the new Slon stuff on ShareCG  :)

Hi, skylab. Glad to see you. :)
How've you been doing?

A number of us have left the Daz forums for good.  Too many changes and none of them for the better there.

Right now, I'm working on a continuing series of Slon goodies to pass out to folks out here through Rendo Freestuff (since Slon is sold through Renderosity) and Share CG.  I would like to invite all and sundry to tag along and maybe do some Slon freebies as well, though I can no longer offer any prizes and we no longer have a super high-traffic forum to FLO from.  It's more of an open invitation in honor of good old times and a spirit of giving and camaraderie that was the first casualty to the dichotomy shift at our old haunts.

*hugs*

I'm so glad you came back and found us here.

Hi Wayii...I had a feeling that the changes on the old forum didn't set well.  It certainly broke my heart to see all the threads archived without images.  I was in the middle of transition from work, and totally missed their planned shift in the forum.  I lost all my emails, threads, the whole bit.  I had ended up in the emergency room with a serious diabetic spike and had to make the decision how much more of my health did I want to sacrifice to a high stress lifestyle.   After finally retiring and happily stabilizing at home, then I realized everything on the forum was gone.  It was very upsetting but what can one do when decisions like that are made.  I'm so very sorry that it happened.  The work that I contributed was nothing compared to the work that you all created and gave freely.   I'm glad the old gang can at least keep in touch here.  I've only been to Rendo's forums a few times, but just wondering if it would be a possibility for a higher traffic Nursoda thread?   I remember from spending time there once before during a Poser release, many of the same people hang out there that used to frequent the other forum.   If you're ever interested in trying it, I'd be willing to do a SLON STRANGER (or whatever FLO name of choice) direct to new location type of thread at the Commons.  Content from the old threads could slowly be re-posted.  I saved much of the old threads (SLON STRANGER and the Fon and Slon FLO's), so if you're interested, I could send it to you by email in sections.  Just a thought, if you're interested, but if not, I certainly understand.   And yes, I'll try to get back in the swing and create a few more Slon poses in order to join with your efforts.  I've noticed that Nursoda is not creating characters as often, and that is certainly a shame.  His unique work needs support and encouragement, and I feel the same toward this very talented group, so if there's anything I can do to help, just let me know.  

*hugs right back to you all*

There is something totally, deliciously cool about a retiree discovering a love of playing drums. 

Same kinda cool, actually.

Oh!  Just added two goodies from Jim to the Slon Compendium!  An ERC CR2 to make posing him ever so much easier and a Developer's CR2 with which one can make clothes and stuff for our little guy.  :D

For serious, the ERC Slon is SO much easier to use that it's a relief.

I was discussing the Slon stuff today with Nan over lunch.  Between the ERC, some clothing bits that are quietly in production by some very familiar faces and the flurry of conforming second skins and second NuPhila set it's rather like a mini-trip back to the first Love-Of. 

Seeing Skylab return just makes that even cooler, because let's face it -- she was SUCH an inspirational force in the first event that I can't really think of For Love Of and not see her renders, animations and poses.  Most of the original Slonfest gang is here now.  And we've even a few folk in here that weren't in on that first event.

You just don't know how seriously happy that makes me. 

*hugs*

I love you guys.

Here's the Slon keyboard animation at Slon Stranger on YouTube:

:)

Nabbed, starred, added and stuffed into the runtime!  Woot!

Query:  Where did the keyboard prop come from?  I'm trying to track down some of these. 

Work in progress, since all of the band instruments are available, am attempting a group project using Nursoda's Nos character.  Still working on the faces, have not yet done the hair, and the clothes probably won't be right since I don't have Elynda's clothing skills...haha  :)

You're welcome Wayii  :)

Work in progress, clothing problem solved...by parenting up-scaled Nos head to Doc Pitterbill body.

Oh very nice....a coat!    :)

I can't wait to start using all the new Slon stuff  :D

Second view.

:D

Skylab, that's neat! Love it.
