Tully takes a trip to a galaxy far, far away

Tully is a cute, semi-realistic girl with just a hint of classic Japanese anime. Tully for Shade is a fully rigged, easy to animate Made for Shade character. She comes equipt with preset facial expressions, poses and props so you can create artwork immediately. All costumes shown in the gallery are included with Tully.

Tully isn’t standing still either. Recently, Tully users received a free update with Tully Zero, a plain version of Tully set up to make it easier for you to create your own modifications and clothing for Tully.

Now, Mirye Software created a new version of Tully – SF Warrior Tully. SF Warrior Tully includes all new clothing, including leather boots, brown belted trousers and a warrior’s short robe. It also includes a laser sword prop and six new poses specifically designed for SF Warrior Tully?

How Much is SF Warrior Tully?

SF Warrior Tully is FREE for all Tully customers. If you previously purchased Tully from Mirye Software, all you need to do is redownload – you’ll notice the download is much bigger because it now contains Base Tully, Tully Zero and now SF Warrior Tully.

Tully Zero Free Addition for Tully English

Tully gets an additional version at no additional cost
After our release of Tully English for Shade, we heard back from our friends and customers about how they would like to use Tully. The result is Tully Zero, a free addition for purchasers of Tully English. Tully Zero is a lean, version of the Tully character with all preset clothing removed and the character pose completely zeroed.

The value in Tully Zero is for designing modifications and clothing that you make for your own use. It is much easier to build new clothing around Tully.

If you already purchased Tully English, simply redownload – Tully Zero is now a standard part of the download.

Pose vs Motion

Chikako — Wed, 31 Mar 2010 18:25:18 +0000

This last week, I have been intensely involved in localizing Tully Japanese into Tully English. One big challenge in compared with Hanako is that data for posing Tully was originally done as Pose settings rather than Motion settings. Why use Motion files instead of Poser files?Pose (and Shapes) have been around a long time for Shade, whereas sophisticated animation is a relative new comer. Poses contain references to positions of objects in a Shade scene; the references though refer to the actual name of the objects rather than some non-language based reference.

With Tully, after translating the parts and objects into English, the poses no longer work, because the pose files are looking for Japanese named objects in the scene.

Motions, on the other hand, make use of an internal reference system. You can create a Shade scene, rename your objects, parts and the like whatever you like, and yet when you import a motion file, it still works. Of course, working with motions also means you can more easily work with keyframes and can more easily animate the transitions between motion settings as well.

Im experimenting now with converting Tully Japanese poses into Tully English motions. Once that is done, Tully is ready to go.
