Adventures In XNA Posing Entry 1: An introduction

So two weeks ago, I finally came across the program that uses extracted character models, maps and items from games and allows users to play around with them. No, it wasn't GMOD (Because I cannot afford that) and its not SFM (despite that its free, its not exactly what My laptop can run). Its XNA Posing Studio (also apparently called "XNALara") and its really cool. Its allowed me to finally do something I've for the longest time have wanted to do and that's make my own kind of fanart/stories and whatnot with the very same Game models I've seen. Because of that, I will be starting my own series of comics using various characters. Here are just some examples of what I could do using just the default stuff that came with it on the very first day of using it:

At the moment, many of my pictures from the program (which can be seen in my album gallery here) have been mainly experimenting with different moods and settings (while using mainly characters from one series) and continues to grow, with more to soon involve multiple characters and abit more expression in said pics.

This is also an introduction to an upcoming pin-up series that I've had planned for a while and can now do called "Club Seven". The title is inspired by a series of music videos with go-go dancers called "Vanity 9" (A "Making of" video with it can be found here) and likewise before I found out how not so good my Laptop was at running Source Film Maker, that's originally what this was going to be. It'll instead be a series of video montages with various said characters in various wares such as Summer outfits, Bikinis and anything else under pin-up material. Once things are set, I hope to have these going every Saturday.

So in short, I basically have a lot of plans for this program. Many posts in this blog entry will be just me posting new pics from the program. Think of this as sort've a "Drawfriend" like thing, but far less popular. I'll post a separate blog for each new video for Club Seven as well as for the comic while posting links to them in this blog. Looking forward to posting up all the latest stuff for me in XNA
