Hi, re the DazNewsletter.

If one has the free version of Michael (and Vicki) that Daz gave away, does one need a skeleton for it, if yes - why?

You dont need it unless you need a skeleton for that Creepy scene..Or if you need to do some Medical research for Illustrative Purposes...

There's already a skeleton in Poser; just not as detailed

Hang-on! Where did the old bone come from....?

Most ed.pages is copyright free that I know of. I think so students can download the images and use them in they school work. I can be wrong When I download the image I put it in photoshop and put it in patter maker and made this patter

I did not know she was talking about the new Daz bone people in AS link. I thought she was talking about poser bone people that is sad looking next to the ones that just came out in Daz. lol

You can still use a tile-able image texture on the new skeleton from DAZ. You could apply it, I would wrap it object cubic, and then go about choosing various bones and randomly tweaking/changing the settings. This works great if you have say, a skeleton reaching for and near the Bryce camera. Those parts nearest the camera, can be "scaled up", thus increasing the density of the texture, and making it look less pixelated. AS

If I understetnd, this textures for Skellingtons !?

It's just that it sounded like quite a good deal, but I was concerned that I may get a skeleton and then not be able to use it with the free-michael version and would have to go buy the pay-for-michael, like I did with the FireDragon - having to go buy the Millenium Dragon just to use the FireDragon... (not having understood properly that what LOOKED like a firedragon, was in fact merely a mat or texture) (First time buyer apart from the Bryce Programs - see?) It did say that the skeleton fits inside Michael (and V3) - so THAT'S why I wondered about having the "proper" version of the figures. Fran

hmm..could be some confusion over 'boning' (rigging the object to be able to move, ya dirty-minded..;) I've used the Poser skeleton with an old stone mat a while back, and no particular problems..
