You need a new hard drive to hold your Poser stuff and really should upgrade to a DVD burner, just so you don't have to shuffle through several discs to that that perfect item for your latest project.

You know you are adicted to poser when you notice that you have bought over 900 items from RR - not counting Daz and the other stores - in the last year, all on your charge cards. Now , since you've gone over the limit on those charge card (which they let you do because then they can charge you some outrageous overthelimit fee - they have upped your interest rate to 33 percent, which you can't pay. So now you are broke. Yes, you are addicted to Poser. yes, I see people and wonder how I can turn them into Poser people. Help me! I fallen and I can't get up, LOL!

You know you're addicted to Poser when... you wake in the middle of night because you suddenly got an idea for a render. And when you finally finished the product, you noticed it's daylight outside and you have 1 hour to get to work. (I blame "Pin-up 29")

you look at someones hairstyle in the street and think "thats totaly unrealistic, the texture is terrible"

You read a post like "...and really should upgrade to a DVD burner...". You wonder how could people still live with just a CD-burner. You throw a pleased glance at your dual-layer-DVD-burner and get back "to shuffle through several" DL-DVD-"discs to that(?get) that perfect item for your latest project."... ...and the wrost is that in the meanwhile you are seriously considering the possibility of shuffling HDs... [OK, where's the skrew-driver?] Bye, folks! I'll be off-line for a while, but be back soon!

You see a wonderfull slim but big breasted woman and think: "why must they always use Breastsize 8?"

...and you are going to guess her mesh.

I have had bizarre Matrix-y dreams in which people were being affected by something like MOR or INJ poses. I spent a lot of time in the dream trying to puzzle out the process of hacking those poses. True story. I have problems, it's true. :)

you should have taken the other pill.;b

"You know you're addicted to Poser when..." You buy P6 and try the cloth room and it goes all funny and STILL use it, then you install SR1, (still funny in the cloth room) then SR2 and think "The World has been put to rights! Preview in cloth-room now works properly" (again. How come it got broken in the 1st place??).. Must admit, it seems faster.. Cheers, Diolma

"You know you're addicted to Poser when..." ... you hear: "CHOOSE! POSER OR MEH!!!"

When you have begun to confuse your left side and your right side because you've become accustomed to thinking of left and right from the Poserly perspective. This can be a huge problem, believe me....

Spend more time looking for stuff to put into Poser, then you are working with Poser :)

I was in the town centre today, when a good-looking girl walked by wearing a rather short skirt, a fashion belt (one of those wide ones, with metal bits), and a top which left about 2 inches of mid-riff showing. In temperatures that would make a polar bear shiver! And what was I thinking as she walked past? It went something like: "Oh that's a nice victorian shop frontage. I wonder ... (interrupt-thought: Ooohh! she's a lovely lass! Must be cold tho' :end interrupt-thought) ...if it could be created from just Poser Primatives?" Cheers, Diolma

... When you refer to a woman's breast-enhancement surgery as her "morph job".

When you hear that someone needs injections, and automatically think ....DAZ!

i always look at people (ok just ladies then) and constantly am thinking i would like to stick there skin on Aiko/ V3 , i think maybe some of them would pose for me, it's just the axe that i'm carrying around with me all the time that puts them off a bit when i say" hello can i take your skin and stick it onto someone else please"

I have definately spent more on virtual clothing than real clothing in the last two years.

I just had another Poser Addiction experience. 

On the cover of Japanese top menswear fashion magazine "Non-No", is Kimura Takuya, one of the most desirable older pretty-guy entertainers in Japan. 

I immediately thought -
"Quarker Grace Lion Hair."

I am so doomed.

You know you're addicted to Poser when you spend most of a day at work trying to persuade a co-worker to stand in default postition so that you can photo her to try to re-create her morphs : )

You stare at one of your super good looking friends and wonder, do I have a shot at asking her to pose for a set of nude texture model photos, or will she think I'm a dyke or at the minimum, out of my mind...   And when she catches you and asks you, what are you staring at? do I have something between my teeth, you snap out of it and say, sorry, I'm tired, I was zoning out.
....and then you post about it....

... Or you're tempted to ask your boyfriend to take photos of his.... pe*** and use it for morph and textures...

...You get a 400Gig external hard drive to house your runtime andother 3D projects...

...You start running around the house photographing everything in sight thinking you might need that texture in Poser...

...You make your Boyfriend pull off to the side of the road to let you out and take 25 photos of a power-pole...

...You go to the mountains for a Christmas Vacation, you spot a nice scenery and say, look, I have that USGS terrain model (and the rest of the family gives you a blank stare)...

...You go skiing, give someone a lesson, and imeddiately get a poser modelled ski lesson manual idea in your head...

...You don't have a christmas tree in your house, but have several in your Runtime...

...You go look for a pair of shoes for yourself, and start thinking, maybe I can find a nice freebie...

...You stop sewing and start using your sewing patterns for Poser characters...

...You cancel a date because you're on a roll with a project...

...You see this thread, and think... oh, I better not tell them I did thaaaat... even the Poser Addict crowd may think I'm weired!

.... and make 3 posts in a row!

Conniekat8 - hey, I'm with you on some of your poser-junkie habits !  Done some of that myself !  oh, me oh my...  oh dear... 

You know your addicted when your 3 year old starts calling her "Aunt Vicky"

I got into a row with my wife, when, in a moment of passion I called her... NEJA! ;=]

When you think you can replace Viagra with the turn of a dial.

When you revive a thread that was started two years ago.

The 1st post in this thread was on Nov 16, 2005, so it's only been 14 months.  We need to wait for another ten months for it to be two years. ;=]

Quote - You see a Payless Shoes commercial and immediately think how great that pair of shoes would look on Vicky. hehe

LOL!  Good one.

I thought Vicki was little more Haute Couture then Payless shoesource...  ;)
at least Spiegel Catalog or Vicotria Secret

Vicky might be "haute Couture" but unfortunately she has to abide by my budge, which is  discount shopping,  LOL 

Ah, yes, them darn budgets!
A girl can stand by the magazine rack, thumb through Spiegel and daydream, can't she???  ;)

That is exactly precisely my reason not to invest in the female figures - they always have a wardrobe full of expensive nothing-to-wear !!  Hah - call me a chauvanist pig, but it IS the Year of The Pig - after Chinese New Year, that is.  In Japan, it is already the Year of the Pig.  Grunt grunt boo boo.

But Infinity10, a bishie male doesn't NEED a wardrobe :tongue1:

And if THAT sentance isn't proof of a serious Poser Addiction, than I don't know what is
:blushing:

SoCalRoberta - 

Ah, the fun is in the selective removal of layers of clothings from bishie males...

"You know you're addicted to poser when..."

You always ask essential questions about morphs or other to the members of forum, and always look at the replies thinking "damn'it, i'll try that!", but you haven't opened Poser since days...

Well I frequently look at the passengers in my trains and think "If I did THAT face for Poser, everybody would accuse me of doing carricatures"

sigh

And seriously, it's the super model Vickies that are the carricatures, not the Real Life looking people...

You know you're addicted when your Poser characters have a more active sexlife than yourself...

when........ you twist your partners nipples expecting breast size to change!

Quote - when........ you twist your partners nipples expecting breast size to change!

Is this expectation before or after... the slap in the face? ;=]

You have charged enough Poser stuff to buy a brand new Hummer, or even a Rolls Royce, but you buy your own clothes at resale shops and drive a 1998 Geo Metro (think Mini Cooper with no frills). This is not funny. I just got my charge bills for V4 and Poser 7.  I need an intervention. If only there was a a way to MAKE MONEY  at this. BIG money. Alas, I have sentenced myself to bankruptcy, sigh.......

y'know, Playboy actually does post-process their pics. Airbrush airbrush (at least when I was looking at them. Had 62-98 complete for awhile. gave up when I was old enough to be a Playmate's father [18 years older..;]). Of course, they probably just Photoshop it now..;)

Everything is photoshop now. 30 year ago, I went to the Detroit Auto Show and saw some real Playmates. They did not look so great.

So, like me, one's addicted to Poser when he and/or she find Posette, Judy, Neja, and Wiktorija appear to be sexier than a Playboy Playmate.  -Sounds logical to me, I always find my fantasies to be more enjoyable than real life.

The good thing about fantasies is that YOU shape them ;o)

I like my fantasies G (and no, they do not ALL revolve around Alan Rickman. Some has Snape instead ;o) )

Well, Trekkie, you shape them unless they involve Alan Rickman. Then he sort of takes over doesn't he? (Forget Snape, IMO  ALEXANDRE DANE is the dreamboat!)

And WHEN is someone going to do a celebrity morph of him? I suppose that is a sign of a Poser ADDICTION, wanting morphs instead of the orginal person.  (didn't I bring this entry back on topic nicely!)

That's why I am so surprised we see so many women doing naked Vickies - why not naked M3s?????? Some of those Hot and Sweaty textures are pretty realistic...Let's have it for NMITWAS)  (Naked Mike in a temple with a sword, LOL!)

what type of sword....

When you tell your parents you "manipulate wheenies because they don't fit inside Mike's pants"...

This will come as a shock, but my real fantasy is owning 10 acres with an indoor horse arena, some nice grassy pastures, a house where all the plumbing and electric works and isn't over 150 years old, and developers are not trying to put in subdivisions whose inhabitants then complain about how the horses manure smells and bothers them, but that's for another forum somewhere - which is why I love fantasy. If I don't like something I hit "delete" heheh.
