That's Jessi alright!

At least they could have done is used a more attractive figure than Jessi!  I'll never get over the fact that she looks like an alien from another planet!

I think that is Koz's ponytail hair also.  Sharen

so jessi is ....................Finkelsteins moster!!!??

They could have used 'The Girl'. She's far more realistic than Jessi!

NOSTRIL GLOW - DAMN THEM.

We Poser users get abused for crappy renders and its because of crap like this. We'll never live it down.

CBS put nostril glow into millions of televisions across America. I saw it last night and I almost screamed!

Ain't that the truth!  sigh
And the friggi'n default out of the box look too. 

Excuse me, my tail is getting all pouffy!

I assume that their art department was given the assignment to come up with an appropriate background image to go along with the story, and so they slapped this graphic together in a hurry.   Jessi works for a pay scale that amounts to less than petty cash at a network like CBS: not even loose pocket change.  Somebody needs to introduce them to Victoria.

Nostril glow or no........does this type of application qualify Poser as a software package with professional uses?  I'd say so........it'd be interesting to walk into the art department section at CBS headquarters, and to see Poser boxes sitting up on the shelves in the worker's desk carrels.

would have taken them all of 30 seconds or so to get rid of that glow too.  Muppets

There must be some way to do a "missionary outreach" to
users like that .... get them to join Rendo or Daz forums 
where they can quickly learn how to do it right.

Might call the church "Our Lady of the Luminous Nostrils."

that's too funny...I was falling asleep when they showed that graphhic and didn't even notice the glow :)
Its a bad one, too. Maybe you really can't call it professional use when you see something as glaring as that ! ;)

now this is funny, i only had my base Poser installed at work, and i put a small image of jessi on our company website and my boss made me take it down saying she looked too angry!

They just needed ANY poser figure with a big enough forehead to print all them ZZZZZZZZZ's on.

Noone other than Jessi qualifies! :lol:

"Lady of Glowing Nostril"! LOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOL CBS used her! It's a miracle!!

Poser was still used in the professional capacity the professional who used it, used it in an amateurish level. I would say poser is now moving into the professional ranks

Yep.  Pretty soon Jessi will be taking over that anchorette's job.  And she'll work for a lot less money, too. 

Anyone remember "Max Headroom"?

"Max Headroom" was portrayed by an human actor named .... something.
I never saw the show, but there was some controversy about it for some reason.
being a news anchor may look like an airhead could do it, but it's a very confusing job.
not to mention the ratings problems.  anyway, one of us can call up cbs and tell 'em
we could do the job for 'em.

Poser is used allot more professionally than many lead on. But honestly allot of work is layered composite work. It would be inappropriate to say "x" piece was produced in Poser. 

Yes Poser has a professional stigma within 3D groups, but most execs/managers/producers aren't involved with that level of idiocy. Some of the work I've done with CBS used Poser models rendered in Poser or Lightwave - you use what assets and tools you have to get the job done. It's that simple. None of my work was ever used in a televised production.

Everyone's missing the point here - What is Poser without nostril glow? No other app can produce this strange phenomenon so well!

Vue can if you aren't careful :biggrin:

It's the "lights are on, noone's home 'special effect'" ;)

Pretty soon they'll call it a feature, and makes us pay extra for the nostril glow

Hey -- I'll take it!  But only for $20,000,000 a year.  Any less and I'd be selling myself short.

Yes, I am aware of the fact that Max Headroom was portrayed by a human actor, voice acting behind 80's-era graphics.  But the idea of a purely AI 'Max Headroom' might be feasible before too much longer.  Maybe they can whip one up in Poser.

BTW - in order for the "real" anchor to achieve the nostril-glow effect, she'd have to cram two white LED's up her nose.  Or perhaps a couple of Mag-Lite Solitaires might do the trick.  It'd probably be painful, though.  And she'd end up talking funny as she read the news.

Jessi, or the other Poser figures, can do the trick for nuthin'!

HA!  That's funny!  I saw this on Monday and recognized her right away, too!

Maybe they could re-use the graphic for a piece on radioactive boogers.

Nostril glow aside, I think it's pretty darn neat that this high budget show picked a Poser Girl instead of one of the very expensive ladies at turbosquid.

lol radioactive boogers. but then jessie would have that nice green glow to her nostrils.

Honestly none of the Turbosquid models - NONE OF THEM - are very flexible, even the most popular.  None have hands that are rigged terribly well, "10 morph targets" for the range of facial expression, you're lucky if they're rigged at all.  Ever notice how none of the promo art shows the hands in anything more than a very basic, prosaic pose?

OMD...    This is so freaking funny...

Quote - its Jessi ...

Knowing CBS, they probably just used Photoshop on someones render here and didn't use Poser at all.
