I finally choked and bought PoserPro Full Upgrade for Poser 6 & 7 Owners! I just couldn't help myself!

With Poser Pro, I finally discovered the joys of IBL lighting and Ambient Occlusion!  When it comes to creating such photorealism in renders, Vray and 3ds Max are an absolute bummer with by comparison!

I'm just hoping it's less laggy/crashy on Windows Vista than Poser 7 was.

Wouldn't know, I'm still using XP.

If I hadn't gotten a speeding ticket...I'd be taking advantage of that sale to get Poser Pro, too, lol....me and my darn lead foot. 

What 50% off? couldn't find it.

If you received the CP NewsLetter with your 50% Off coupon code, everything is.
If you didn't recieve the CP Newsletter, tham most likely nothing is 50%  Off.

Oh...........I have to be a member of something? Darn, there were some things I wanted too.

Even if I'd gotten the newsletter wich stopped long ago. I'd be buying zero too. Gotta renew the cars plates this month. Damn BMV!

Yes Vray is rather complicated to setup its parameters but worth it for realism  in the end

Vray can be quite good, IF and WHEN you've finally finished tweaking it to that Nth degree!  i've been doing an animation in Poser Pro, and I'm just amazed by the results I'm getting just from converting a set of Infinite lights to IBL, and and clicking 'yes' for each one to have the ambient occlusion configured.  The results are definitely comparable to at least MY success with Vray and 3ds Max, and without nearly the heartache.

Hey Jen how fast were ya going and what was the speed limit? :lol:

Nerdstress wasn't enough, Jen had to go for desperado now? :P

Thinking about tickets.........I havn't even been pulled over in almost 30 years, but my last time was enough to last. Back when I was young i had this old car, didn't half work, coming up to a stop light and no brakes  cars in front of me stopped. so I swerved left over the sidewalk and right through the front doors of a porn shop, blow up dolls and sex toys, flying everywhere. Didn't live that one down for a few years..................

picked up Vue 6 Easel and VP's Lancaster Bomber.

Their site is not very user friendly so far as navigation and finding things is concerned, so I rarely go there and in fact unless I see someone post about a freebie that interests me, I avoid that site like the plague.

I agree with you on that one, I never shop there. :(  its just too much trouble finding stuff.

erm no
that code is only useful to lululee.

every persons code is generated for them alone.

you'll have to talk to Starlet about your own code.

Not to be nasty but I am buying nothing as there is nothing over a CP I need or want.

To each his or her own.

I happened to have found some nice M4 Clothing for Half Price, that i could have paid Full price for elswhere.

It just dawned on me ...

Given their enforcement of no advertising threads, I'm surprised that this thread is still up.

Quote - erm no

Oops.  I left a post in their forum.  Unless they provide me a code, I'll have to dump $118 of product I put into my shopping cart (including 8 Sixus1 items).

For anybody who doesn't want to shop at ContentParadise, they're losing out on Wardrobe Wizard for $30 (if they have the 50% off coupon) and a lot of other good products. Last week's freebie, a hen, is still free.

It wasn't and advertisement Acadia. It was merely a question of "What did people buy?" Seems to have taken on a different life of it's own though.

It's not that I don't want to shop there it's just I have all of the things I wanted and had bought way before the sale and the 50% off. All I am saying is there isn't much left for me to want or need. It's a daily fight for me not to be come a content ho and believe me it would be so easy for me to fill my hard drives full of stuff I wouldn't use but once in a while I gots plenty as it is now....LOL!!!

tires for my wife's car...at full price.

Quote - Their site is not very user friendly so far as navigation and finding things is concerned

Personally I think the "not very user friendly" phrase sometimes means "I don't like it because it's not arranged like Renderosity", but like the other posters have said, to each his own.

And I think the search engine on CP is much better than Renderosity, which makes it far easier to find things. For example, if I search for a "car" at CP (meaning that I'm looking for "automobiles"), I see different vehicles in different formats: automobiles for Poser, train cars for Vue, etc. Sure, I didn't really need a train car, but that's a good match for my search term.
Whenever I search for something at Renderosity, I usually get a few results that are relevant, and then tons of V3 characters, V3 poses, and textures for obscure outfits for sale at DAZ. (Using my example of searching for the word "car" is a bad example since the Renderosity marketplace is actually showing me cars- I'll have to try again with a better search term. )

 Quote - "Their site is not very user friendly so far as navigation and finding things is concerned"

Actually I agree it is hard to find stuff.  For one thing (my main problem) is the promo render thumbnails are too small for me to see whether I wan tto click on them or not.  And I never know what vouchers i can use how and where so I tend to ignore my vouchers.  I never used to be able to tell if my subscription to passport was about to run out as well.

Love esther

I used my upgrade price for Manga 4 and used the coupon to cut that in half for a total of $64
I'm a happy lil toadie!

Me too! I upgraded to Manga Studio 4 EX! I was on the fence but for $65 I couldn't pass it up.

 i want to do that too but i am on a mac!  mac version not out yet
love esther

I don't have a problem with navigating and finding items when I search on CP. Contraray to Rendo, I never can find what I'm looking for and when searching the majority of items found aren't even related to what I've searched for. RDNA and DAZ do have that problem also.

I've purchased a few items I always wanted. I've bought Motion Artist 4 and some items for it. Bought some of Rodi Design's toon stuff, which I do love! I finally cleared some of the stuff that was in my wishlist and I doubt I will ever buy the rest that still in it.

I like the sales going in right now, got some things at RDNA (toon items again) and some things at DAZ, all 3D universe items, that's the only thing that interests me at DAZ. It's only because of 3D universe's newsletter that I was aware of DAZ having a sale, I never visit DAZ. Since they've released V4 and now M4 they only release items that I could care less about.

I had to laught about DAZ's tag line though..... 

There's a reason why DAZ 3D is #1 . . . 
BLACK FRIDAY BLOWOUT 
Save 50% on virtually all Published Artist items through Monday!*

These guys do love bragging, don't they. If that's the reason to be #1 then CP did beat then easily...... one can get 50% off everything there, not only a number of selected items.

Anyhow, they should arrange these sales a bit better and not at the same time, because I've got (I guess that counts for most of us) only have a limited budget to spent each month. RDNA came first, so they did get some of it. The CP came, they got most of it and finally DAZ got some of the left overs. With all the sales going on already, DAZ should have postponed their final blowout a few days and I would have bought a lot more 3D universe items.

I pretty well made the choice to go with the CP sale because my wish list for the G2 male was getting a bit too long, and I finally had to give in to the (now long past, it seems) NearMe fad, plus a few Meshbox things. Okay, more money than I planned, but I'm still glad I finally got the stuff.

but only if one was getting the right newsletter.  I've been getting a newsletter from CP but it apparently was not the right news letter to get the 50% off coupon.

If you ask in the forum, they'll probably give you the code.  I got one even though I subscribed after the deadline.

I got poser pro base for $75 dollars. And a number of other goodies on my wish list.

I haven't been to CP since I bought Poser 6 back in 2005. I've been looking at the site for the past hour and I can't find a single thing I'd even use. Will DAZ match the coupon?

Huh? Why would they?

Thanks, I'll give that a try.

Chris, hate to say it, but by the time they get back to you, it'll probably be over.

That's what I was expecting, however, to my surprise dpkennedyjm already replied with a coupon code.

*Chris, hate to say it, but by the time they get back to you, it'll probably be over. 

Not this time, they're actually very very fast in replying. It's unbelievable, but true.

I bought TY2 and Lycanthropy for Koji.

Haven't gotten much sleep since, working on projects too much.

How do they make Library buttons for INJ morphs?

And Library/POSE add Material buttons?

It's certainly more convenient than going to the Material Room every time.

That's actually a good suggestion for Poser 8. Have the Material Library stay on the library bar accessible whether you're in the material room or not!
