Chayne Lynx

Back in the early days of Poser 4 I converted a prop made by Paul Hafeli into a conforming figure. That was the Chain Mesh Bra. Poser hasn't been the same since. For some time people have been requesting chain mesh for Victoria.

It took over a year of tinkering with meshes and finding ways to produce the effect I wanted to give you. The result is a clothing collection that produces effect you simply can't get any where else in Poser land.

The first thing you're going to ask is, "where is the mesh cat suit?" There isn't one because the polygon count would have been astronomical. You see, these aren't transparency maps thrown on standard clothing items. They are new, and very special, very complex models. The highly detailed mesh has a feature called Parallax Highlights.

Para-What n' Who! Parallax Highlights. OK, its a big name, but it's really cool. Look at the mesh detail. All of the figures in the collection have separate materials for the "Face", "Edge" and "Holes" in the mesh. Because the face and edge can be assigned different colors you can create wild highlight effects within the Mesh and without applying a texture map. Parts of the mesh that are seen straight on will show one color. Parts that are angled to the the camera will show a different color. If you've ever seen a car with a pearlescent paint job, it's the same idea. Light that hits from different angles is reflected with different colors.	Close up of the basic mesh. This Illustrates how the Parallax Highlights work. Facets that are at different angles to the camera show different colors.
Usually the holes are set transparent, but you can use transparency maps to stylishly add some holes back in. Most of the meshes also feature separate texture groups for areas in the "Holes" to cover Breast and Panty areas.
par·al·lax 'par-a-laks Noun: The apparent displacement or the difference in apparent direction of an object as seen from two different points not on a straight line with the object	The Corset and Teddy also have lace trim along the top and bottom edge. These have separate Face, Edge and Hole groups so they can produce a different effect than the main mesh or be hidden entirely.
SuperConforming If you've bought Nerd Stuff before you probably already know what SuperConforming is. But, this has a new twist. SuperConforming allows the morphs in the clothing item to automatically match the morphs in the target figure. Old super conforming figures didn't like being loaded into a scene that was empty. They would cause Poser to freeze. The Chayne Lynx items use a new twist in super conforming. The only morphs that SuperConform are the full body morphs. The FBM's from the Clothes lock onto the FBM's of the figure and once conformed they work together. When it's setup this way the clothing won't cause Poser to freeze if it is loaded in an empty scene. Detail Because this mesh is so highly detailed it doesn't really need much texturing. The mesh does all the work. The Chayne models have very high polygon counts, it's well worth it. The Largest piece is the Thigh Boots at 58,000 Polygons. The Bra is only 18,000. This sounds like a lot, but when you consider the fact that no 3000 x 3000 texture maps are needed it balances the scales. Now you see why there is no CatSuit. It would simply be too many polygons. Nerd3D recommends a Pentium 4 Class system or better to work with the Chayne Lynx Collection easily. The Chayne has been tested on Celeron class systems (600 Mhz) and it works fine, it's just a little slow. Setting the materials could have been tedious, so there are 100 MAT-Pose files to help you setup various combinations of colors on the mesh. Some of the MAT-Poses change the entire mesh, most only effect a single material group or area. MAT's and textures are included to produce Rust and Corrosion effects on the mesh. Several of the items have belts or buckles, they all share a common texture map. A joint pose to reset the bending limits on Victoria's feet is also included.

Corset Page	The Chayne Corset began life as an experiment. If you look closely, it's mesh structure is different form the Teddy, Boots and Bikini pieces. This is called "8's and 4's", (Because it is octagons and squares) The Oo La La item also uses the 8's and 4's mesh. The experiment turned out so well It just had to be included in the collection. The corset is a SuperConforming figure and will automatically match the morph settings on the target figure when the morph is available in the corset. The corset has lots of material groups giving you virtually unlimited texturing options.
OoLaLa Page	The OoLaLa Is the most unique item in the collection, and the only one that doesn't include a full set of "holes". It was inspired by the Oola character, the exotic dancer in Jabba's Palace. It retains "Holes" in the Cup and panty area so they can be added back in. The OoLaLa could be a futuristic armor piece, a super heroin's costume, or a costume for an exotic Twi'lek dancer. How will you use it?
The Chayne Teddy	The Chayne Teddy is the most complex item in the collection. It has tons of texture groups, and lots of EMC Morphs. The teddy uses a "Sixes" mesh. The Chayne is mostly hexagons. The top and bottom lace, trim nipples, and cups. can all be textures separately. Not to mention the separate textures for Faces, Edges and Holes. The Teddy also features laces up both sides and "Holes" over the entire mesh.
The Mantle	The Mantle is the simplest piece in the collection. It is also probably the coolest, definitely the most impractical! It's simple style and graceful flow set this piece apart. The wide variety of Mat files will make this piece practical beyond impractical armor. The mantle has several material groups giving you wide texturing options. It also features morphs that accommodate bending forward and backward.
The Mesh Skirt	The Chayne Skirt is a daring mini-skirt with lots of belts and buckles. It's simple and sexy. As with all the Mesh Collection it features a Texture group for the "Holes" allowing you to add them back for style. The Mesh Skirt has several material groups giving you wide texturing options. It has separate material groups for the "Panty Area".
The Mesh Bands	The Chayne Collection includes 3 sets of bands. All of them use buckle closures The Bands are conforming figures. One for Fore Arms, Upper Arms (Shoulder) and for the Thighs. All the bands use the same MAT-Poses and Textures as the rest of the collection. They are Super Conforming and contain most key Full Body Morphs for the areas they cover.
Mesh Boots	What would a collection be without foot wear? The Chayne Lynx Collection Includes 2 Pair of boots. Thigh Boots and Shin Boots. The shin part of the Low boots can be hidden to create ankle high booties. All the boots feature a collection of morphs to create wide variety of heel styles.
Mesh Bikini	Of course the collection includes an all new version of one of the most popular items in Poser history. The Chayne Lynx Bra. Now Victoria can wear the ultimate Impractical armor piece. The collection also includes a Bikini bottom. Creative use of the Included MAT-Pose files make this impractical armor quite practical as beach wear. Both pieces include lots of morphs and material groups. The top and bottom are provided as separate conforming figures
The Zapper	OK, with all this armor there has just got to be a weapon. Guess what, Chayne is tired of swords! It looks like Chayne is headed for the the future where a good zapper is your best friend. Better stay on her good side. The zapper includes a conforming holster and a Smart prop zapper to fit the holster or the hand.
