Just wanted to post and get to know everyone (as well as get some input LOL) Just started using Poser again after a few years and hoping to be a little better at it :)

Nice to meet everyone and look forward to learning bunches!

Welcome Anasta! Glad to have you aboard. Get ready for the addiction to start all over lol. If you've been  here before you probably already know but I'm sure you'll have fun. :)

Welcome back, I am sure you will find a new and exciting time is ahead.  With past experience you will probably be better then ever.  Sharen

Which version do you use?

I'm using Poser 4 because its more user-friendly LOL

Still a great program.  Sharen

Right you are. :)

Poser 6 is very user friendly, you know.  It will do everything P4 can do, plus a lot more.  You can learn the new bits at your own pace and get lots of good advice in the forum.

How much does it cost to upgrade? I've had P4 since... well since it was new LOL

Plus I'm using the freebie Vicky and Mike, do I need to pay ones to use to downloaded morphs? Cuz right now I really can't change much about the appearance and I like to have variety :P

I have some free faces for Mike and Vicky on my homepage (link in my sig), those doesn't require any bought morph packages. But other than that.. I'd advise you to start saving and get them, they enhance the characters so much.

Raw Poser 4 or Pro Pack btw?

Dunno about upgrading from P4 to P6.  I upgraded from P5, which, IIRC was about $120.00

The free Mike and Victoria 3 models will take the morph packs, so it would only be the morphs you have to buy.  As TG - ernyoka1 - said, there are some characters, such as her own, which do not need the morph packs.  That said, the morphs are worth buying.

Thanks... I'll have to save up for an upgrade and some morphs but I will check out your site, thanks!

Anasta - a word of warning...
Whilst the upgrade to P6 is (IMHO) very well worth the price, note that both P5 & P6 are total resource hogs. You will need either: a nice, new PC with lots of memory, lots of speed and a good graphics card (with the latest updates) or: a lot of patience to get the most out of them.

And even then the rendering speed will be slower than in P4.

But the effects you can get... aaahhh... Wonderful. (Once you've got through the learning curve on the materials room, the FireFly (ray-tracing) renderer, the cloth room (with it's dynamic, flowing cloth), Image Based Lighting, Ambient Occlusion (and a lot of other terms I forget the meanings of).
Not to mention (in P6) POINT LIGHTS - (which are lights that emanate from a single point; you can now make candles, light-bulbs etc act properly without having to play around with spot-light tricks...)...

Cheers,
Diolma

PS - in no way am I trying to put you off. I sincerely recommend P6. But just warning that there are possibly some hidden costs before you can get the best out of it...

Ohh - and Welcome to the community!!! :biggrin:

Well we just bought a brand new 250GB HD and 2GB memory PC so I should hope thats enough to run it (it also has a GeForce 6200SE graphics card) But it still may be awhile before I can afford an upgrade, although its now in my to-do list :P

Hey I have a new picture in my gallery if y'all would please view and comment I'd be happy :D
