Hi-Res Characters

Hello everyone, I'm currently beavering away on my sci-fi game, Nebula 7. I'm putting the finishing touches on the game itself, but I've a big problem- the main character. I'm not too talented on the character-drawing front, and up to now I've been using a very lo-res sprite which looks out of place among the much higher-quality backgrounds. So, I'm asking for some help. Could anybody supply me with an animated character (800x600) if possible? Anything will do, as long as its a male. In return you'll be fully credited within the game, and I promise to send you the game on CD by post.
My email address is mcullin@online.ie
or you can talk to me on MSN messenger at mcullin@hotmail.com
Thanks in advance,
Mark

I can make you a Poser 3 character. Unfortunately, it either has to be nude, in a business suit, or in casual clothing, though the clothing/skin/hair can be any color you want.

As normal as this:

Or as weird as this (or weirder):

If this isn't what you're looking for, I won't be insulted or anything. Poser is certainly on everyone's blue cup of tea.

Do I detect a little sarcasm?

Not at all.

Until I saw some stuff by Migs, I always thought that Poser work was a bit lame, but his stuff rocked. I also really like those characters Shocking Blue, they are great and they dont look like some crappy default stuff most people do with the program...

Are any copies of Poser free or do you still have to buy it? Maybe Poser 4 is free now?

Of course you still have to buy Poser 4, but its much cheaper now. I think they also released or were goig to release a Poser 4 version under a changed name "Poser Something" even cheaper.

Still looks plasticky, sorry to say. You have to add textures to a Poser figure in order to make it look realistic. But if you're going to simple, the blue man is pretty good.

Check out the www.renderosity.com image galleries and free content areas for some good tips and items.

It's not always about realism. Even if he does get awesome textures, it's still not going to be realistic. That doesn't make it look less nice though, especially since the backgrounds are probably also not photorealistic.
