I knew it !!! Yes, from the quality of advise, tips, tricks and comments on this forum, some how I had the feeling there were older, seasoned veterans on this block. I'm just 27. I don't know about other younger "poserers" like myself, but believe me, I'm most honoured to have all you older folks around. We love ya'll !!!!!

Not only are we of varying age, but I bet our origins of poser are different. Like me, I got into it because it was cool and something fun to play with. And yes poser is a great toy :) Being a 16 year old, of course people at my school arent into anything like this, so its nice to have a community like this to chat with fellow Poser people.

I feel much younger now! I'm just 34. My body however, it about 88... But hey, can't win em all eh? Styxx

This ole gal is 47... I used to baby sit project mangers and engineers. Oh, and I'm a mean one too. Ask Marque.

I'm also 54, but I still think of myself as 26!

turned 34 in middle of June. been using poser for 2 years.

hrmmmm... I still remember telling God that a soft rock would be bettre ... then there's the dirt/water fiasco.. but we won't get into that 8 )

48 here (though parts of my brain are still nine years old) Darth Wookie, you are wrong on two accounts, Grasshopper; 1: we ALL picked up Poser because it was "cool and fun to play with...." (listen youngster, when you get our age, you'll realize that's the only reason to do ANYTHING...if you can make a living at it, you are blessed...) 2: People at your school aren't into it because you havent SHOWN it to them....being a leader in this world can be a matter of sharing your joy in something. (And what sixteen year old would not like to be the "master" of his group?...I know I would have....) Do a simple animation with your Darth Maul character and you'll have your own fan club! Scarab<-who has waited thirty years to call someone "Grasshopper"...thank you Darth.....

51 and still playing. I never would have guessed the age group here. This is a great group. skee

38

Helen / Nan, Thanks for happy wishes on my adding another candle to the cake. I'm sure the addition of others will come too quick, just as this one did. -Rob rbtwhiz.com

I have a friend that I had try poser, and he chose 3d studio over it....... bah! I am gradually learning 3d studio with the pro pack plugins and junk. I have friends I have shown with animations, some people were watching me as I went along with my poser skill, and they never were interested lol :) They were only interested in the next picture that I would make lol But its all fun for me, poser is a toy that I love playing with. My main work and goal when I make my models is detail, I go as far as I can. The next figure that I am going to make is a Headless Horseman (from the burton film)for Michael. All those armor details are going to be hard to work out but it will be a fun project.

"They were only interested in the next picture that I would make lol" Young Idiot....ask them what kind of picture THEY would like to do...then produce it before their astonished eyes. (they will not show that they are astonished of course, that would be "uncool"....but sooner or later...one...then two...will return and say...."can you do THIS (oh master) or can you do THAT (oh master)....be patient, Grasshopper (wiggles with delight)...show only each quantum leap....soon....soon...you will have them in the palm of your hand. It is the nature of heroes to be rejected at first.... Scarab<-(try some "bodice ripper" type images if you want to go for the chicks first...)

Since I'm on a trek into eternity, age is totally irrelevant. Knowledge ain't much better, it's wisdom (what to do with the knowledge) that makes a difference. to quote a sage... A wise old owl lived in an oak The more he saw the less he spoke, the less he spoke, the more he heard... the wise old owl was a wise old bird. Wish I wuz as wise as that birdie... then I could give a hoot.

Lol. I will be 21 July 25th!

hmm - how old can a vampire be ??? Most people call me like this (because of my sunshine-allergy and the fact I'm only reachable deep in the night ...) and age - hmmm does it really matters ... but for those who think it matters - I'm 30 :o)

I'm still here at 52!

Hi Folks! I'm 18-- with 29 years of experience! LOL What an interesting variety of years lived! I too would have thought that most of the folks at this forum were young'uns. Peter (Dr Zik)

Geez, I thought most of you were younger than me, but I guess I got it the other way around. Most mornings I feel like 55, but my birth certificate tells me I am only 26. Never expected that that would make me one of the young ones, lol. Angela

Hey, Zik, ain't it wonderful? People having a blast are all young. It's a tremendous thing to be able to really play at any age. It's one of the neat things about humans. Wow, anyone remember Poser 1.0? Nifty concept, could only the wacky wire frame guy with clothes on before render, dials were hidden, and if you imported hair, it was the same size as the figure and we couldn't figger out how to resize or apply it. BOY has Poser come a long way. i was messing with Mehndi's UltraSalon hair & the amazing changing fantasy suit on V2 last night, and having a blast. Man! Nifty! When Poser 4 came out i upgraded, and realized that i could get decent lighting/figure references out of Poser & Bryce--best "studio" i ever had. And for sci-fi/fantasy stuff, excellent: like i could ever find someone to pose in a hardsuit to get the lighting right? Move that planet a little more over your left shoulder, please.... And it's just evolving from there. ((big grin!))

I am 32 ...

Take your pick: Mentally: 14. Emotionally: 5. Physically: 40+. Birth certificate: 31.

I'll be 38 this Summer... -Jeff

Heh heh. I glad I'm not the only old fart. ;] I'm on public record on the front page, so I might as well fess up - 41 this January. The rumours that Wizzard and I sank Atlantis by pulling the chain running down into the public baths are just that: absolutely unfounded rumours.

Wow - Ok I feel better now. I'll be 38 in July .. going on 10 at heart. ;) Playing with Poser since Poser 2. Clint

Face it, no matter what the chronological age - we're all a buncha punk kids!! giggle Kate

Hey Ironbear...whadda mean old fart? At 41?!! :-) Now that makes me - at 54 - feel positively ancient LOL. Claire

Cool thread guys! I'm just a baby here it seems. :) I'm 30.

snicker Sorry Rain... nuthin personal. If it makes you feel better, choose to believe the unfounded rumour that Wizz and I sank Atlantis insead - all rumours about me are true and I deny all of them just by reflex. grin

36 here, but after this day, I feel more like , uhh, maybe 38 or so. shrug I dunno. Is that bone supposed to make that noise like that? I went to the doctor last week and told him it hurts when I raise my arm up, so he told me, "Don't raise your arm up." Seemed like good advice. ;) Thanks for the much-needed, uplifting thread. It's really nice to know all this. :)

I remember when I could finally play Star Trek on a "CRT" instead of a "DEC writer" on the University's mainframe computer. Sooo that makes me about 46.

Here I was thinking I was the wierd old guy who hung around with the cool young crowd. Now I find out I'm the wierd yound guy...heh. BTW I will be 31 soon.

1. Can't think of anything even remotely comedic, witty, or intellectual right now though..The Evil Eye my son painted on my cast keeps looking at me. GrayMare

27 and counting backwards :-)

42, but with the right morph targets and lighting...

30 here and I work at a convienance store, go figure! Happy bday Rob! Ken

36 here and prepress grunt in a print shop. been poserising chia pets since ...Last week! ;) been using poser since around Nov, dec .2000 (when i got kidnapped and drug into the Render wars forum ;) they let me out every now and again, *hopes TIO doesn't notice i slipped the leash again

35 at presnt, 36 in September... Been "playing" with poser for about a year. later jb

Appropriately enough, today is my 23rd birthday! :) -kimmarcus

Happy birthday. ;]

27..nothing funny to say. LOL!

Okay, so the average Poser user is 33.6341 years old -- but if you take out the ten oldest and ten youngest, its more like 45! I would have guessed 25. Makes me feel better I'm in equally ancient company. And oh, a correction, I looked it up, I'm 51, not 52. Dan

1. On the 29th, at least. After reading this thread I feel much younger, though. 'scuse me, I think I have to get my diapers changed. ;-)

"I looked it up, I'm 51,I'm 51, not 52." Senility setting in a tad early, Dan? HAHAHAHAHA! ;)

Hey, I bet you don't know where YOUR birth certificate is! LOL,Dan

I am still trying to get over the fact that I turned 30 this year! I mean when your in your late teens early twenties you can get away with a lot and it looks "cute".... but when you turn 30 its not so cute anymore.

....wait till you're 48....neighbors start calling the police..... Scarab<-(somehow cherry bombs are no longer an appropriate form of expression?)

I am convinced that we older folkses know better HOW to play than the younger ones. I will be 45 in July. Happy Birthdays all 'round for the June babies!
