My very first purchase for Poser was BeachBaby for V3. I remember posting in their forums asking how to use it,  LOL  I was told I needed V3, which of course I didn't have at the time. I thought all I needed was "Beach Baby",  hehe

I paid $19.95 for it and it's now 1/2 that price.

What was your first purchase?

I had v3, but didn't yet have the morphs, lol.  Being a newbie in poserdom is HARD!

I had to look back on the Marketplace account list to find it...
something called "3dRelief", which must have been a program
to generate height-field meshes from pictures.  I don't even
remember buying it, which means it probably didn't do what
I hoped it would do .... whatever that was!

That was exactly 7 years ago.

Apparently it's a program that turns your 2D images into 3D models

Checked my shopping accounts:-
M3 from DAZ3D - yes, I PAID for the thing, bah  
Grrrr.

I guess I've about cussed enough at it while using it, that I feel somewhat vindicated.

However, I did not marry her.

::::: Opera :::::

The first item I bought at Daz was Victoria 1 & here it was probably clothes for posette, my original account here doesn't exist anymore so I can't check.

Hmm, mine would be clothes for V3/M3. M3 3 Piece Suit and second skins for V3. I usually don't buy for them, just freebies. I hardly work with them these days so I haven't invested much into them. I do this as a hobby. I dont have wads of cash to blow on 3D models so, I come here for the wonderful freebies. I haven't bought from here. I've bought from Daz & 2 prop items from CP. lol. I'm not a big spender. I'm cheap.

But, with that said, all my items were full price at the time I bought them almost 3 years ago!
Prob still full price lmao.

My first purchase was V1, and of couse clothes.  Such a long time ago, you can see the difference big time in so many models. Sharen

Funny thread... my first purchase was here (at least the one I found), 2003-07-02. I paid $17.95 for a texture set:

Djana - Dark Tone Texture/Character For Stephanie & Aiko

Vendor: Byte Me Ok (err... oops... ulp*)

My first ever Poser Purchase (not bought for me by someone else) was Koshini.  And Koshini 2.  And I didn't realize there was an upgrade price, LOL, so I bought them both full-price, :lol: .And then, the next day, I bought an outfit for her :P
And, it's been snowballing ever since.  I've actually spent $200 in one shopping "outing" in a day.  Not in one spot, mind you, but close :lol:

my first purchase was poser  (5)

(that seemed to be important for some reason)

then i got the aiko pro bundle i tink.

I didn't buy my first copy of Poser, I got Poser 1 as a freebie on a magazine, I still have the disc here somewhere.

Oh, that link is so out of date:)

3DRelief was superceded by Terrafirma 3D and that is also no longer available.

Both mine I have to admit:)

On Topic, I think my first purchase was Vicky 1.

3D Universe's Real Curls.  Bought from DAZ 21 July 2002.

First figure I bought was Mike 2.

My first poser purchase was poser 2.

Quote - My first poser purchase was poser 2.

Well, it's a given that you have to have Poser to use Poser stuff :) And that Poser was probably everyone's actual first purchase in Poserdom.  But what was your actual  first purchase for Poser? 

You know I couldn't just answer your thread without giving you a hard time first did ya? LOL!!

Actually I didn't make my first purchase of a poser anything until I got poser 4 and it was on 04/07/2001 and it was a posable cockroach for a picture I was doing using posette in a dirty alley.

@pdblake:  I didn't mean to insult 3dRelief.  Remembering vaguely now, it
did what it was supposed to do, but I didn't understand ... until I tried it ...
that 3dRelief wasn't the right tool to build models of cochleas, lungs and
palates.  I would have to master full-fledged modeling, so I did.

I didn't think for a moment you had :)

Just hard to believe it was 7 years ago that I wrote that. I've learnt an awful lot since then  (mostly not to use Visual Basic as a serious programming IDE) :)

Victoria 1, on 14th October 2001. (edited to add: my thinking at the time was: "I'll just buy this one thing, then I won't need to buy anything else." Ha! Ha! Ha!) Actually, I didn't buy Poser until much later. No, no, put away the pitchforks, villagers! I got Poser 3 off a magazine cover CD, and won Poser 4 in a competition. I only paid money when Poser 5 came out - wished I hadn't...

My first purchase for Poser was AnimeDoll from Studio Maya site....remember cause I had to get the hubby to do it with his paypal cause I didn't have anything set up yet....think that was 2004 (I haven't been doing this all that long)

I got Poser 3 free off a magazine too - what's the betting it was the same one English Bob - in fact I still ahve that Cd on my cluttered desktop at home so if I feel like giving myself a real laugh I can always reinstall P3.

My first content purchase was Bliss Vision Hair and Radiant Pro Light System and I felt sure that this was all I would ever need to buy to go with the free download of V3 - oh how wrong I was grins

:rolleyes: Sharkey's Angelyna Wings!

My first Poser purchase was "Practical Poser 6". I brought a copy for a friend of mine too.

My second purchase was V3 head and body morphs.

My first Poser purchase was Poser 2.  Little did I understand at the time what I was getting myself into. 

:huh: Xenophonz is right, and has be beat; my first Poser purchase was Poser 3...Now that I think of it, Bryce 3 was my first purchase for Poser, then Ray Dream 5. 

I didn't have to buy Bryce till V4 as the rest were freebies on magazines.

I went crazy at DAZ with my first Poser shop. I had just gotton Poser 5 after discovering DAZ and Rendo online and drooling over all the  goodies for ages.

The next day I went back and got M3 and the Mil Cat.

Poser 3 came off a cover disc - probably same one as English Bob and Valerian70

The first 'true' purchase was Sanctum Arts Howler from here.  

Wouldn't like to hazard a guess how much I've spent since then :) 

Poser 1 (though it didn't have a number then)

Quote - Poser 1 (though it didn't have a number then)

It didn't have a lot of things it does now ;)

Nope .. It has changed and grown a lot since then.

After buying Poser 5 I bought more 256 MB RAM. And it was for Poser.

Victoria 2 for $50 way way back.  I didn't use it much for the longest time because the face looked so horrible with the Face Camera.  Then I saw a tutorial to change camera settings and the fisheye lens went away and the model started looking good.

After buying Poser 5, my next purchase was Lightwave 7.5 for $1200.00 usd.  Then I waited for a year of promises of a lightwave plugin.

Poser6 was the very first (yeah i'm rather "young" here...), then the 'true' purchase was V3 and M3 morphs.

I remember it well, the first model I ever bought was the old Zygote Dragon, (long before DAZ split off) for $120, texture was extra. That was back in 1999, and I've been buying stuff ever since! I still remember how cool it was posing the dragon and Posette and then importing them into Bryce.

My first poser purchase ? Poser 3 ... sorry :-)))

My first actual content purchase was "Parts and Props". I don't remember why but I had to pay for it. I think I got an employee discount though. In recent memory it was Grace Lion Hair.

I bought Poser 3 in a bundle with Bryce & RayDream but didn't really get with the program 'til an upgrade to Poser4.  I guess this was around the time that DAZ branched off from Zygote - the site became more user friendly and the model prices came down (tho' looking back I'm amazed at what I was willing to pay on those early shopping trips - most of it still unused - eek!)

...but back to the topic ;)
 I got Victoria 1 for Poser 3 but never used her, then Victoria 2 for Poser 4.

My first purchase here was a face morph pack for V2 - Deviouz Faces by IceStorm.
This was part of a huuuuuge week-long shopping expedition - and even under threat of torture I wouldn't tell anyone what I spent that first month after discovering Renderosity - it still makes me queasy to think about it ;)

I love it when Steve posts; gives me the illusion I can grab him, pin him to a chair and get info out of him about Poser's next release.

And also imprint him with my wishlist for the program in his operative RAM.

::::: Opera :::::

P.S. Steve, how about tangents and handles on the spline curves??

Well let's see... my first content purchase for Poser had to be Nerd's Dreamspinner Line for Posette sometime in Oct or Nov of 2000. My first Poser purchase was Poser 2 followed by Poser 3. This was back in the days before there were any Poser stores.... conforming clothes.... transmapped hair or transparency of any kind... 

Oh for the good ole days of helmet hair:)

My first Poser purchase was The Girl.  That was a lot of money ago!

Oh this thread is fun! My first purchase was the Victoria 1.0 CD for $73.92 and it came with Victoria, Victoria maps 1 & 2, Flip Hair and Victoria Clothing Pak. I remember wanting the Fearie  so badly but just couldn't afford it after getting the cd and then there was the Zygote Dragon that was totally out of reach. They still sell that Faerie at Daz, for much less :)

Don't feel bad; I still have Aiko 1, and I bought Stephanie 1 to get hold of that (riiight before they came out w/ the standalone version). Can't remember the last time I actually took that out and played around with it, and it used to be my favorite out of the pile. To top that off, I had to pay a 6% sales tax on all of my purchases from DAZ, up until this past February - I was a Utah resident. /P

My first 'Poser purchase' was before I had Poser. I had just discovered DAZ Studio then and had the free base models. Didn't like them all looking the same, so I got them something extra.

My first purchase:

Dazzling Gaze
Victoria 3.0 Piercing Pack

I still use those eyes sometimes. But since then, I have added so much more and expanded my shopping trips to so many other stores.

I bought just about every figure at Daz in one fell swoop, if I recall correctly. This was back when Poser 5 was current.

Like several others, I started with that magazine coverdisk CD containing Poser 3. And fiddled with various freebies from people such as PhilC, before buying Poser 5 in late 2003. It wasn't until a year later that I bought anything else; firat the DAZ Platinum Club membership and bundle, and then their Victoria 2 CD. It can't have been long after that that Aiko 3 came out.
