Hi Guys!

Wowsers!

Pam at PoserWorks here. Thanks for the heads up my Ray O'..., And J.Semp, THANK YOU for your undying loyalty and ever-faithful support. As always, we so much appreciate your more than favorable input in support of our product(s). Bless you.

I was on this forum last evening and THOUGHT I HAD responded to this thread. But low and behold, when I came back to check the thread this morning, I found my post never "posted". I fear that I either "timed out", or was too quick to escape out of the Renderosity forum/site before seeing my response actually "POST". Oh well, it isn't the first time this has happened to me. : /

On to the business at hand regarding the SS3:

First off, this model has been on the market for THREE years now, reminding me once again how quickly time flies and how old I'm getting! : O Ohhh Nooooo! But the reason for this incredible deal is not an "arbitrary" pricing structure on the part of PoserWorks, but rather a promotion stemming from an agreement made between Curious Labs and Poserworks to announce and promote our partnering with Content Paradise.

The first paragraph under the SS3 Description on CP states (and I have copied and pasted the direct text below):
"This model is available to all Poser 6 owners for $1.99 now through June 15th, 2005. You will be required to enter your P6 Serial Number at checkout, unless you have already entered it into your personal profile on Content Paradise."

I had planned all along to send a newsletter out to all of our loyal and devoted PoserWorks members, however, I chose to wait until all of the kinks had been ironed out with regard to our database on CP--BEFORE doing so! I imagine it will go out on Wednesday. It will also include a VERY special offer for OUR members that will be available on the PoserWorks site ONLY.

As far as missing textures for the SS3 in Poser 6, I found no problem other than the existence of pz3 file(s) for Amy. Unless you have Amy, these file are unnecessary. They were only included as a convenience to those who have this model. Now this part is MY fault! I had requested that Tom clean out any unnecessary pz3 files and re-archive the SS3 to avoid any confusion and/or eliminate inquiries about this in the future. He did so, but I inadvertently put the old file up on Content Paradise. So for those who have downloaded this file, I suggest you simply delete any Pz3 file(s) that are not required for the SS3 to load. This will avoid getting any pop-up dialogue boxes in the future. I did not find that the SS3 had any MISSING textures in P6, P5, or P4. If you are having this problem, I suggest that you double check your files and/or follow the loading instructions in the readme text file. But all of our models are archived to unzip automatically into the structure/folders Poser uses. We do recommend that you load our models from the project folder/file rather than the rollout, because it is all set up for you that way (scaled/sized, etc.) That being said, perhaps the person(s) having problems may have unzipped the model incorrectly. If not, the only other thing I can think of is if you are loading this model on a Mac. Our models are NOT Mac-ready. They will work on a Mac, but you need to do some "juggling" to put the files in the right places. Painful I know, but one day we'll have all of our data available to support both Win and Mac platforms. (Although it does state Win right on the SS3 page at Content Paradise.)

Hope this answers your questions. We didnt think a really great sales promotion would put us in a quandary, so hopefully this clears up any and all questions regarding this limited promotion. We have others coming up in the future.... Perhaps not THIS BIG, but pretty darned good! I will advise all PoserWorks members of them in advance in the future... once we have our database in place and stabilized on CP.

I'm getting really tired of typing in that serial number. :-P
It IS such an exhaustingly painful ordeal, isnt it? (LOL! ;) Im teasing you... Can you tell?) XENOPHONZ is right! And in case any of you missed the extent of the paragraph I pasted in above, (that I copied directly from our CP SS3 Page) you only have to type in your P6 SN IF YOU HAVENT YET entered it into your profile on Content Paradise. I believe that if you typed it in for a similar promotion it is also automatically and permanently entered into the CP database as well, but dont quote me on that. I will check and get back to you on that one. But this might explain why some of you were not asked for a SN in order to download. Your SN had already (previously) been entered and authenticated. For those of you who DID NOT PURCHASE P6 SN and were able to download anyway, you need to let me know.... PLEASE? ; )

(Drunk Monkey. I mention you only because your username cracks me up. Yours, What the, and fishnose I think are my top 3 favs.

Im going away now.

Cheers!
Pam
