I wanted to make a spiral column of rainbow lights going up the side of a figure. Well, he looked better sideways.
Poser 4, Photoshop 4
Dr Morpheen by Syyd Raven
This is Dr Morpheen, which is the P4NM with some new facial morphs and a super high-res skin by Syyd. Michael annoyed me with this pose, as his groin got all pinched. Also, this is one of those hand behind the head poses (though you can't see it in the image), which the P4NM does better than Michael. And since I didn't feel like smudging out the groin....
For the lights, i tossed a cylinder in the scene and told them all to point at it. However, they insisted in pointing at the base of it, so I quit. I put the red light at the bottom facing from the front camera. Then just added more spots at +.5 y trans and something like -15 degrees y-rotate... and sorta positioned by hand so the flaps touched from the top view. Then I parented each light to the previous in a big light tree, so moving the red light moves the whole semi-spiral. I also set all the lights to 25% size.... don't try this. Poser INSISTS on changing them back to 100% size at every opportunity: when you load the lights from the library, when you load a PZ3.... when you re-parent the lights... anything. It messes up the spacing and light spread something terrible.
So, I posed Dr Morpheen (this is a modified Dying Slave pose), and rolled the lights around til they hit him well. Oh, I had to scale the figure up to like 150% to get them all on. (Easier than repositioning all the lights!) Then I rolled the main camera on its side to get him lying down.
Added text in post. And really nothing else. Well, some hair painting. That's the conform curls as hair prop hair.
