I think I'll check out the new human figures.

I'll probably install it first thing.

1. check out new figures 2. see if cloth can do clothing 3. new face modeling tool 4. hair 5. lose sleep

After installing, checking out the folder structure, and putting in a test selection of P4 items I expect I'll load a couple of test PZ3's, and play with render options to compare with the same renders in P4.

I want to see what the new render engine is going to be like

First, dinner and a movie, then I'll take it home and go to bed with it. If I still respect it in the morning, I'll install it.

Render up some cash to pay off the credit card.

Play. It would be a rare treat to install something and not have to use it immediately to make deadline. If I make spaghetti out of the hair and wrap his knickers into a tie-dyed twist and displace his features so much that he is more alien than anyone ever shown on StarTrek... then I'll be content. :) Carolly

Remember Hiram P5 aint as cheep as P4 better make it dinner and a broadway play, anything but Cats.;^)

Render the new female naked in a temple with a helmet, sword, ice cream cone, and a discarded tire.

I'll probably first play with a few things, then test to find out exactly what I own and / or have made works well with the new soft-body dynamics.

thats "old style" hiram Im not taking it to dinner and movie first. :P BT

hit 75 and praise god I finally saved up enoughL

Well I was going to say sleep with it, but sheesh, its already been said! So maybe I will just sit and drool on it!

Stare at it in despair knowing that I am not worthy.

Read the entire manual, cover to cover. * waves hello to Nosfiratu in case he's watching * Then I'll load some old animation projects and try them out with the new renderer, for comparison purposes.

Poke myself about a billion times with a sharp twig to make sure I'm not dreaming...then play with the face modeling tool ^_~ MUHAHAHAHA can't wait to see new faces in the poser galleries

i will hug it and pet it and squeeze it and pet it i will name it george....

"I will hold it and love it and pet it......, Tell me about the Poser rabbits, George....." Lenny Scarab <- from "Of Mice and Dorks"

was thinking of the abominable snowman (?) from a Bugs Bunny cartoon....

Wait for the upgrades

I don't know, but I suspect it will involve loud cursing and percussive maintainence.

Definately, the "love it and pet it and name it george" was the FIRST thing, before the install...

Try to get my friend's face on a doll and bitch like hell that I STILL can't do it!

I'm going to make plenty of nude renders for my gallery.

Search for the "California Dreaming" thread and actually read it.

Then I'll check out the manual.

Install it, keeping adding more and more figures to the same scene and rendering it until I see how many it takes to crash it (or make it scream for mercy, which ever comes first).

At $549 in the US (acc to ComputerArts mag.) and more than likely twice that overhere, I won't even bother.

displace his features so much that he is more alien than anyone ever shown on StarTrek... then I'll be content. :) Carolly, Even more alien than Species 8472, from Voyager? that I like to see :-) CT

btw, at 549 dollars I dont think I should have to take it to dinner first :P BT

Mr Tuna, It would appear that aliens worship female humans (which is why they come to earth and delicately capture them with their soft-tentacled pseudopods). Once back home in a nearly weightless environment, they install these perfect specimens in brightly lit niches in their temples. Since space flight is quite expensive, even for a Mother Church encompassing 3/4 of Known Space, holograms of these deities are sold to visitors and pilgrims as souvenirs. Unfortunately, the black underbelly of the Market has made inferior 2-dimensjional copies of these images widely available, even to those who have not made the pilgrimage to Earth. [Please note that this explains the quality of the light, the architectural background, the tippy-toed position, the perky breasts, and the vacant other-worldly expression]

I kinda hate giving the idea away (but others will think of it soon enough), but the first thing that popped into my head (so to speak) when I read about P5 was to open up "Spanki's Internet Head Shop".

Sit in my dark apartment clutching my new Poser 5 cd greedily while talking to myself and constantly referring to it as "My preciousss!".

MAKE A BACK-UP COPY!

Probably take it out of the package, install it, and find some earth shattering quest to send hubby on so I'll have lots of uninterrupted time to play with it. :) Kate (who wants to see if she can actually make a draped cowl necked blouse or something equally nice and elegant for her ladies to wear)

1. Release party!!! 2) Stripping down, grabbing a sword, and fending off the inevitable mountain of tech support calls we'll get while trying not to trip over the bald tire some fool left in the doorway. :-D Anthony Hernandez Curious Labs PS - You guys are going to be so blown away by Poser 5! And I am so freakin' proud and honored to be part of the team that put it together, I could about burst.

Anthony - think you'll get a little time off to catch your breath before the final release and the tech calls begin?

Sit in my dark apartment clutching my new Poser 5 cd greedily while talking to myself and constantly referring to it as "My preciousss!".< Ok, Redleaf, just how many times did you see or read "Lord of The Rings"? -- Anthony, About how many of the tech support calls you'll get do you think will be 'cause some 'durn fool' didn't RTFM? :-)

hey anthony, just to get warmed up for those calls, ya'll want us to start calling now and asking things that're way off the wall? You know: whys the sky blue? How come you park on driveways and drive on parkways? Did bill clinton really have sex with that woman? stuff like that..heh BT

kneel on the floor facing west worshiping CL ;) Then run around like a looney crying & laughing cause I finally got poser5. How many times a day you gonna get a call from a Mac owner asking when Poser5 Mac version will be released, sorry guys I hope it won't be too long. Rob

Load up the new Poser 5 dork and check out his equipment.

:O)

Sasha

RTFM :))

Rev up the new rendering engine and start animating stuff like crazy! Woooo-hoooo-baby!!!! :-) Dave (ever so slightly excited) ;-)

Try to bribe,convince or coerce my little one (65 MB RAM) to make friends with Poser 5 and actually work with him instead of crashing, freezing or bold walking out like he did with the Pro Pack....big sigh Dani PS: Redleaf: You know what happend to people who are too long under the spell of Poser, don't you? :)

Vicki in a temple with a sword ? Nah . . . check out that hair and "collision detection" or whatever it's called now. then Start Animating a couple dancing, holding hands while walking or something like that . . anyrate something involving physical contact and animation.

I think the first thing I would do is buy a new computer with enough power to run it.....this PII is straining with poser 4 already. Rawn

Come on PhilC i never had you down as that sensible :o)....i'm just gonna pres every button i see :o).....Steve

1. (pre-delivery) Stock up refrigerator, hug friends, kiss loved ones 2. Rip off packaging, then RTFM while P5 installs 3. Load Millennium clan & P4Fem and run my products through their paces 4. Load new figures 5. Go wild with putty tool, hair and cloth 6. Set it all to render and more RTFM 7. Dust off old animation projects and get to work *Fine

Install it, tinker with it, continue to repeat "Holy Cow look at this" until my wife and family decide it is time to close the den door and ignore me.... Then render something, drag them back to the den and repeat "Holy Cow look at this!!!" anxiously awaiting -> DragonzTeeth

For $549, I damn well better be able to do anything I want...
