chuckle Seems to be a recuring problem....IE POSER EATS YOUR HARD DRIVE! :) Anyways, since I'm a CS major, and was researching a project, I found out some good info about image files. I managed to half (or more) my space for textures. If you use the PNG file format, you can have an image with the same quality as a normal TIF, BUT it's combressed as part of the file format. I found that these PNG images are the same size as the ones I pkzip'd up origionally. It'll take a bit of time, but this really does save you alot of space. Now then...my question....Can someone out there tell me the policy of MetaCreations about add-ons? I would VERY much like to modify Poser 3..(or 4 when I get it) to accept PNG files in the same way it accepts BMP and TIF ones. Anyone know if we can do this?
