Unless I'm missing a whole section, I don't see her there. The backgrounds on the ones I am seeing aren't even the same, nor do I see a model with those shoes. Can you give us a page number and section or a direct link to where you thought you saw them? Did you contact levius or the store? Maybe you should have done that first. Just a suggestion. :)

Nice site Marque - thanks for the link.

Yup, thinking about joining myself. Those pics are in the popup window. If you click on samples I think they come up. Like I said if I'm wrong great, and this person gets advertising for their product. 8^) If I'm not, well there it is. And yes, I did contact the store. And the pic above is from the site, not the store here. Marque

The only reason I saw them is a link from the blender.org site..lol I thought blender was a dead program, but evidently not. Marque

I've bought Levius' reference photo packs from the store, and today he sent out a Renderosity merchant email inviting his past customers to check out his new site. The URL he gave is the same as the one Marque posted. He is probably selling the photo pack in the MP here and also marketing it through his own website, like a lot of the merchants do. It's a really terrific site, too; he has a lot of cool freebies on offer.

Fauve is right, it's his own site. :) Very good stuff and the rest of the site has some great resources for all sorts of artists. SnowS

Think I may just join instead of buying a few here and there. And look at all the advertising he got! Glad to know no one is being ripped off, and if that was the case I'm sure the person would appreciate a heads-up, I know I would. Marque

Cool. That settles it, I guess, and everyone is happy. It is a great site, it seems. So we do have to thank you for the link. :D (I must have missed that email. :D)

Not an email, found the blender.org site in this months 3Dworld and he's listed under the texture resources. You should check it out, they have some nice free textures. Marque

I will have to check out blender. Thanks! :D (I meant the merchant email, though. 'Course, I get so much junk that I just delete anything that doesn't look familiar. Not the first time I deleted something I shouldn't have. :D)

I usually delete the marketing emails too, but I saw that this one was from Levius, so I read it. I'm a reference photo junkie -- couldn't get along without them -- and his material is great; what he has in the Marketplace is excellent "everyday people" stuff, with a lot of variety of types and ages.

I am so tempted to get a membership to his site, but I've had some less-than-positive experiences with CCBill (though to be fair, I hear they've cleaned up their act.) After looking at the low-res previews, though, I may just have to cross my fingers and chance it. It's so hard to find good-quality figure references online. (And no, porn doesn't count. :) )

Hummm, maybe I should wait and just get what I need here then. Marque

That appears to be the merchants home site. The E-Mail addresses registered at Renderosity and that site match. I will notify the merchant of this thread so that he can clarify. BTW - The sets he sells are very hgh quality. Clint MarketPlace Manager

Marque, it looks as though he has a lot more available at the site than you can get here at the MP. I'm thinking a membership might be the better way to go. whips out the credit card Cover me, I'm goin' in... :)

If any of you do sign up - could you let the rest of us know whether you think it's worth the money? I'm just too broke to be a guinea pig. lol

Okay, I've signed up, and now that I've browsed around the member area, I can give you an opinion. If you use reference photos for your Poser images (and it makes a really big difference in the quality, in my opinion) it's going to be worth it to you. I use ref material a lot, so this was a good buy for me. Take a look at the sets of ref photos Levius has for sale in the marketplace and you'll get an idea of what's on offer in the site, though there are other sets on the site that aren't for sale here, like the medieval clothes reference set and the facial expressions ref set (I love that one.) If the sample images look like something which would be useful for your own artwork, then yes, the ten dollars a month is definitely going to be well-spent. If you think you might not use them that often, it may be a better idea to just pick up a set or two of the photo packs he has in the MP. Either way, he's offering good value for the money.

Thanks for the review fauve, I appreciate it. I'm always looking for good reference material. Still not sure which way I'll go, but at least I know I won't be sorry either way.

I have bought the female heads pack and the nude female pack, and the quality is pretty good. I have created a (IMO) very good head tex from the heads pack, and I'll be working on a new female body tex soon. I'd say they are a very good resource for anyone wishing to create photoreal textures without copyright hassles. Put it this way - for $5, you just can't go wrong.

How much does it come to? Thanks for going in fauve...lol Marque

I joined up too. For the money, even if you only want a few of them, it seems well worth it. I bought the female head pack here, and had the body on my wishlist till I found the site. I you are actually going to need reference photos, I would say sign-up. It's only $10 dollars for a month, anyway, which is the price of two packs here. And even one pack is worth more than that. :D

I do have to agree with you illusions. This example highlights why. levius was completely innocent, but he hasn't been on r'osity yet since it came up (I pm'd him to let him know what was being said when I saw the thread), so he couldn't have defended himself. Luckily, someone knew what was going on. But what if no-one knew so quickly. This could have went on, people could have seen the beginning, but never caught the resolution at the end, and his rep would still be tarnished in some eyes.

yes its his site and i'v talked to him he is a very sweet guy and has very good stuff on that site i would say yes join it
