Dr Geep here. I have agreed to compile a (sort of) dictionary of Poser abbreviations to help newbies unravel the convoluted world of Poser.

This graphic is only a sample of the types of abbreviations that are used.

We probably do NOT want to include commonly used abbreviations on the Internet, e.g., LOL - Laugh Out Loud, because it would end up having too many entries. I suspect a "dictionary" just for Poser will be big enough. ;=]

Your input is requested ...

You may:

Post your input to this thread

• OR -
  Send an IM (Instant Message) to "geep"
• OR -
  Send an email to "geep@cybertrails.com"

After a short period of time, I will generate a printable copy of the "dictionary" for those who might be interested.

Any suggestions to improve this "project' are (always) welcome.

We might even need to make a file cabinet for them. ;=]

cheers,
dr geep
;=]

LOL, IMHO, I think you are the greatest! To tackle this project, you must really love us newbies or be bored to tears right now! I hope people will respect what you are doing here and not turn it into a joke. Thank you again for looking out for us Doc!

Thanks d-, I remember what it was like when I started out ... um, it was ... a few years ago. ;=] We'll see what happens. In the meantime, if you're bored, just read another tut. ;=] cheers, dr geep ;=]

A couple to start

MG= MilGirls (as in MGPT)

POV - point of view LOD - level of detail

OK, I was following all these except for when Crescent added "RTFM". I'll assume that because there is no description that it can't be printed here?

RTFM = Read The Friendly Manual ;=]

OK, "Friendly Manual", Now I understand. Thanks as always Doc for clearing up such a technically involved and challenging question!

You're welcome d-,

Um, er, ah, some, uh, er ,folks use a less PC term for the "F" ...

PC? <------- Why everybody knows that stands for Pretty Clever, or Personal Computer, or Politically Corrup ... opps, that should be ---> "Correct." (<--- is it?)

DIP = Delta Injection Pose (a.k.a. MIP Morph Injection Pose).
Tran = Translate.
Rot = Rotate.

IMHO - in my humble opinion tut - tutorial

Ar- ARRRGHHH!..It won't conform?
Bmp- grandad, whazza bmp..and is it like a bump?
ct - conform to
e! - I just deleted my runtime
g!- if I play with Vickie's dials (teen version) k- this model is how many K?

Y- doesn't it work?
Z - 3rd pass, finished light dome, anti-aliasing and rrrr...
that should do for the letters you haven't done yet.

MD=Maya Doll $ Version of AD Anime Doll

Thank you so much Dr.Geep! This will be quite useful. And thank you also to all of you who posted true abbreviations to help Dr.Geep get the full list for us. There are many of us who take this seriously and it will be VERY useful to us when it's done. Now a few I don't understand: LS_wp2mystic1.cr2 -- (LS) Is that the name of the creator? If it is, I wish they wouldn't do that because it is confusing for us. DF (I have a DF Aiko) -- creator initials? PZZ, PZ3, PZ2 - when I first bought Poser, I thought these three were the same and I'm probably not the only one.

bl -- I have hundreds of that example:blfrog.obj

VLR = Victoria Lo-res SLR = Stephanie Lo-res :))

From what I can see so far, this list was way overdue! ;o)) France

2 other original characters CA Cherry Anima CA2 Cherry Anima 2

A new one I just found: MK (I found it in pose library and it's the name of the folder: MK Set Texture) France

PZZ = Poser scene file (compressed) PZ3 = Poser scene file (uncompressed - ie in ASCII) PZ2 = (Library) Pose file (for Francemi) TLA = Three Letter Acronym :-) (And bookmark...) Cheers, Dio, the lama ('cos I mistyped it that way)...

Oh, and some of the products out there come with the suffix "WG" (which means "With working naughty bits") Cheers, Diolma

BM = bookmark

And is there a definition for "with working naughty bits"? France

And is there a definition for "with working naughty bits"? -- Only on the top shelf of Dr Geep's bookshelves (which, if he hasn't made yet, I expect he soon will do..) :-)) Cheers, Diolma

'Working naughty bits' - the bits everyone looks for and tries out the FIRST thing they do when they install Poser for the first time. (Except of course the Holy Brigade - the 'I never render nude' users) Someone wrote about when he installed P5 last year - "I was pornographic in 5 minutes" - that is, the install worked fine :o) :] Fish

Thank you, now I understand. ;o) France

heh..I'm just seriously starting Poser after using it as a utility for years..;) It's all I can do to get clothes on the poor dears..must take a lot of fortitude to 'never' rendery the NB's..

Okay now I finished going through all my libraries folders and these are the terms I found that I don't understand (or not sure about): TJC (MAT ISOP TJC) MK3 (MAT_KyokoHairMK3) LL (MAT_LL_CasaBlanca) mld (Mat_mld) contains the file MAT_BlackLacePPP.pz2 MAT-MOR (MAT-MOR Aiko(Anime)) material and morphs?? TP (TP Camelot) TransPond?? Thanks again Dr. Geep! France

The LL in MAT_LL_Casablanca means Lovely Lady (who made the texture) The MK3 (MAT_KyokoHairMK3) means mark 3 or version 3 there is a version 2 as well

The ones with bl at the start like blfrog.obj are usually the default figures that you get with poser though I don`t know what the bl stands for.

cheers, dr geep ;=]

TOS - terms of service...

Oh Goodness gracious me, how DID I forget that one. ;=[

Thank you Dr.Geep! I've saved it as a textfile that I can look-up whenever I need to. France

My pleasure. ;=]

TJC = Tenten J Clothing Tenten is one of Yamato's free characters for Vicky(1/2, PT, PS) with tuts to make a V3 version and a Judy Version(AnAn)

TIA - Thanks in Advance M2RR - Michael 2 Reduced Resolution

FYI - Fer Yer Info BTW - by the way OPV - other peoples Vicky HR - high Resolution LR - low resolution XYZ - xyz coordinates zzz - huh, what?

You are missing: PW - Poserworld PWFW - Poserworld-Fairywoods (OOD, but stilkl encountered) OOD - Out of date

xantor, I'll double check when I call DAZ today just to be sure but I believe the "bl" in front of DAZ/Zygote models stands for "blend zone" because that was the last thing done on the model before release.

MM = Morph Manager OR Millenium Man (aka Mike) MW = Millenium Woman (Vicky)

Inj/Rem isn't exclusively unimesh - the RDNA MicroCosm (MC) uses the technique too (and the recent animals have channels - Jim Burton's horseshoes had an INJ pose to flatten the hooves. Cooler - at last, all is revealed! The bl mystery has long puzzled me.

Ok gang, I've found another one that I don't know... GV (example: runningshoesGV and I have the same for runningshoesV3) so who's GV??? ;o) France
