..... I have visions of Richard Simmons in the snow.

Snow ball fight anyone, ... anyone? ... Bueller? ... anyone?

A good way of hiking up the price of poser 6?

Poser6? .......... Have I been sleeping? ;=]

i think it is a new recreational drug.

OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOoooooooooooooooooooooooo..................... Ah want sum, gimme gimme ... gimme sum ........ ;=|

If its a figure, I'd like to see a preview before I buy...

P.S. The above renders did NOT have any texture maps applied. Maybe I'll do sum of those next weak. ;=]

ROFL!

It is rather odd, that the only figure they're showing in the P6 preview images is Woody.

Are the new human figures one of the "secrets" they will reveal soon? Do they not want us to know that it's the same old Don and Judy? Have they made a deal with DAZ, so V3 and M3 are the P6 people, and work in the Face Room?

I would like to know this as well..........such mysteries lol I also noticed that they left in that store that no one uses :-(

No one uses? .... NO ONE USES ??? NaySayGuy uses it all the time! But then ... ;=]

My deepest apologies to NaySayGuy ;=)

NaySayGuy sez: "Tanks!" (me thinks he's been playin' too many war games)

definately not Judy... I don't feel like wretching whilst looking at that pic so definately not her!!! Sorry all... I just can't stand Judy... Sorry CL... P5 is awesome but the default P5 models are ick! geep... you're funny tonight!!

geep heard about P6 and he's been 'ladling the sauce' if ya catch my drift. ;0) I think that the Japanese owners sent some Ninjas to remove the old CL programmers and installed some Budo ones. This looks like some fine amazing updates from P5 (sans Malcontent Paradox still shtinkin' up the place). Wonder if they did any rigging changes?

ladle some this way if you please geep!!! Yeah, if I wasn't a guy I'd be giddy as a schoolgirl about P6 too!!!!

If it isn`t judy, it seems strange making a version of poser with content for a daz figure.

Looks like Jessica Simpson. I'll jump for joy if they just standardize the dialogs. (I don't need no stinkin' Winter Queen; I just need a stinkin' Control-F4 that works on every stinkin' box!)

so V3 and M3 are the P6 people, and work in the Face Room?

I've mentioned this before.....jokingly.

However, if that were true, then it would go a long way towards explaining why V3 and M3 are now free.

She looks a bit like a revamped Judy to me, but the resolution is low. The figures are definitely a secret that should be revealed soon...

"She looks a bit like a revamped Judy to me" You know, I thought the same thing. If you look closely at the shoulder area, it does look like Judy's current shoulder, but it's very hard to tell for sure from that image.

Amazing what a little plastic surgery can do, isn't it? :)

You know...if they used Content Paradise to offer original content -- and not just warmed-over stuff from the various websites -- then the CP might actually be worth something.

Besides for the purpose of using up system resources, that is.

It was her mouth that reminds me of Judy. It's almost certainly not a DAZ figure. My thought was that DAZ found out about how advanced the new figures would be and maybe that's why they gave away M3 and V3. The node sort of reminds me of V2, but not really. I'm just thinking of this as a teaser rather than what the actual packaging may look like. The figures on the P5 package look nothing like Don and Judy after all.

LOL Geep, even with your stick figures, someone would find a way to do poser porn...

I would agree that that's a possibility.

Yeah.

They were probably morphed versions of V3 and M3.

;-)

Out early.

LOL Geep, even with your stick figures, someone would find a way to do poser porn...

Check out some ancient cave paintings. Not to mention stylized small statuettes....the 3D modeling of their day.

....Besides me that is! I couldn't pass up the upgrade pre-order prices!

Ohhh that's the Winter Queen.....she looks a bit like V3, especially with that pout. ...and I agree with ghelmer, Judy is butt-ugly.

Isn't that Lory's and Vali's Queen Esmeralda with Kozaburo Hair? Looks like Winter Queen can fit V3 textures!

Maybe Poser5 in Japanese is Poser6 in English ??? I'm just guessing here ........ kain't cha tell. ;=]

Yes, sometimes the version numbers are different for foreign versions of programs.

Does that mean that there might (just might) already be a Poser7 out there somewhere?
Inquiring minds want to know.
;+]

So that is Vicky?

From CL's e-mail:

Poser 6 Special Edition not only brings to you the power of this latest release, but also offers you the majestic "Winter Queen Figure Pack", a beautifully designed box created in the "Winter Queen" theme and a full version of Shade designer LE with PoserFusion. Poser, the "Winter Queen Figure Pack", Shade designer LE and PoserFusion together, creates one of the most powerful 3D solutions available by integrating Poser into Shade.

It says the box is "created in the Winter Queen theme," not necessarily that it is the Winter Queen. Hmmmm. The "Winter Queen Figure Pack" sounds like it's a new figure, not a character for Judy. Could it be a special edition of Vicky?

If V3 and M3 work in the Face Room, I will be positively ecstatic.

I hope Content Parasite is removable. I may well shop there, if they have good stuff at good prices, but I don't want to do it from inside Poser. I can find my way there on my own, thank you very much. I don't like the recent trend toward linking software to online stores, blurring the line between offline and online. (Apple, this means you.) If I pay for the software, I shouldn't have to put up with built-in ads. What next? A new car that automatically drives you to the mall? :-P

It's V4, why else is DAZ giving V3/M3 away for free. They want to maximize their profits before P6 is released. By the way P6 contains M4 too!

I am so happy geep finally got his characters in to the hair room (see post #9)! Never could stand all that plastic hair.... ;o) runs for cover

A little plastic hair, a little plastic there ... ... pretty soon, you'll have plastic all over the place. ;=]

Hi,

I'm not able to give too much detail on this yet but to answer two items, the Poser 6 Special Edition image is not Judy or Victoria. And the Poser 5 promotional package in Japan is not Poser 6, just a similar image used for Poser 5 as holiday retail promo. Notice that the Japanese facial image is completely different than the P6SE.

Anyway, more details will continue to come out over the next weeks while heading towards the release of Poser 6.

Kind regards,
Katherine

The figure on the P6 box looks like Judy to me, with a reasonably decent morph job... (something about the eyebrows/mouth) This is a little troubling to me.

ah well... Also IIRC The US P5 box has V2 and M2 with TONS of postwork. Shows what faith they had in Don and Judy. :p

boy I love the speculation game!!

Disney's film version of The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe is scheduled to be released on December 9th, 2005. For those unfamiliar with C. S. Lewis fantasy series of books, the Witch was the White Witch who ruled the world in a reign of eternal winter, very much a "Winter Queen." Perhaps Curious Labs is hoping to ride on the success of the movie if it does well. Jay

Jay, I was thinking about that too...

I would like to know if the version of shade that comes with the Winter Queen bundle is the same as the LE version for sale. I would sign up today for a pre-release if I knew that to be true. Anyone seen confirmation (the add just says Shade LE, which might be an older version, I guess)....if it is the current version, the P6 + Shade alone is worth the price of an upgrade. I like Wings3d, but I might could get used to Shade:) eric
