ouhh... the program itself doesn't take much space, and when I render with that, the time needed isn't very high, doesn't overload my ol' puter. The result isn't very high neither, for that, I got Vue:-) But it takes MUCH disk space. I think that's the same for daz and poser : On one hand, the models and objects need space, much more than it used to with other 3D. I think that's because of the high-resolution texture/bump/transmaps. On the other hand, exported figures make millions of hard polys, big megas. The few 3D I do in my job, is not one-sided theater decorum, but detailed geometry, so I got much polys already at the start. For medium distance view, I try to burn down the poserettes with "decimate" in Vue, but that's long and risky, can foul up the geometry or punch holes. There must exist good PC programs for burning down polys without much loss of structure, but I'm on Mac (There are mac progs, but I can't afford those). All work done always goes to cd or dvd, including draft, tests and so on - off the HD, else I'd need multiple terabytes servers :-) I recently harvested freebee/lowcost-items on internet, and now try to clean up the HD : about 1.5 giga of zipfiles went to CD. I think I'll stow most of the dezipped ones on dvd too, to load them when needed, import the static props I like into Vue, save them as vob (or re-export with lower res textures ?). It will depend on how much I'll use it : If I use it more often, I'll free an external (startup) disk for that. Future will tell. Up to now, I don't do much with that, just pose figurines. I yet look for everyday clothing : There seem to be phantastic clothing mucho sexy, romantico, medieval, gothico and scifi, and kind of balloon dressing for inflated rambos (look like Michelin's bibendum), but few things ordinary people wear. I think I'll find that, too, just search in the right place...
