Having gotten a new computer, I have been loading up all my Vicki stuff, her clothes, her shoes, her hair... And I had this thought... AAAARRRRGGGHHHHHHHHHHHH !!!!! nevermind.

yes. you only now just noticed? do you want a therapist? ;)

And wait till you get Midge and Ken and Allan and Tracey and.....

Poser seems to be often derided as virtual Barbie software, at least in some 3DCG circles. Bloodsong, what's the number of that therapist? :)

I think if your one of the twelve animators, then it's electric action figures. =)

"Your stupid brains! Stupid! Stupid!!" Hee hee. Saw that this afternoon. I really do need the number of that therapist....

I think perhaps I am the "Ed Wood" of Poser Animators!

Wow, not only that, but my posts are travelling backwards in time! I posted number six in response to number seven, which I obviously could not have read unless it was already posted.... Umm.

They're NOT DOLLS! They're "Action Figures", damn it! I've never played with a doll in my entire life! They're "Action Figures" I tell you!

Yes, and it gets worse! All this effort towards creating the real world in 3d in photorealism, well guess what, buy a camera, a scanner, and a copy of photoshop and do it on the cheap and in one third the time. The only and I mean the only saving grace about 3d is animation, movement through time and space, but so few realize this. manowar

My hubbie & I often have this discussion 1. GI joe IS a doll 2. if GI joe is not a doll, then barbie is not a doll 3. poser is a little bit more than digital dolls... Poser is a whole friggin' playground.

This post gets five stars!!! *****

yes that is exactly what we are doing.

I always thought that it was PAPER Dolls

She was not CG. If you think about it, most of Hollywood's most famous and richest plastic surgeons have been playing with Barbie Dolls, too.

well, lets see, they start out nekkid, then they get dressed, then the arms and legs moved into different positions, then we play with mimic and pretend they are moving right. Yup, sounds like an electronic doll to me. Wanna have some fun? I was testing mimic with judy and didn't give even a second thought to my voice until I saw her lips moving in the animation with my barratone voice. Yeah, I need that therapist number too.

ROFLMAO ! Bobasaur, the expression on your face says it all!

EricofSD "...my voice until I saw her lips moving in the animation with my barratone voice." stop stop, it hurts to laugh so hard!

Jerr3d, She threatened me! OK, I admit it. I liked it.

My mom used to make those doll cakes. ;)

Last year I was walking through Toy's R Us for my daughters birthday and (of course) was in the Barbie section. As I was looking at all the clothes I could buy, the different Barbies and the houses, hot tubs, cars...... I was laughing at the similarities. :)

But if you men want to call them action figures......

:)

Just like all those Formula 1 racers - those guys are still playing with toy cars ;o)

What happens when you pull the ring? (I hAD to ask.) ;=]

the different Barbies And just like Vicky's hundreds of "characters", no matter how "different" they may be, at the end of the day they're still just Barbie...

love it marque ROFLMAO...Steve

Just my version of Mimic...heh Marque

Playing with dolls? Yes, and why not? Don't need no stinkin' therapist! - It's on a computer. - Therefore it's TECHNICAL - So it's cool to do it. - QED :-D

And I'm certain that Ken has more clothes than Mike does. :-)

Infidels; we are not playing; it's called digital anatomical engineering or software biometric motion analysis or even just organismic visual simulation. All this effort towards creating the real world in 3d in photorealism, well guess what, buy a camera, a scanner, and a copy of photoshop and do it on the cheap and in one third the time Anyone here been able to convince a friend lately to model nekid in a temple. Besides, Vickey sure seems alot more flexible then siss old Barbies.

might be able to persuade them to do it Bug, but getting permission to show thousands of folks the image might be the problem LOL......Steve

hmmm.... My other half calls the comoyter and all my Poser stuff "toys".... Of course, the fact that I use the images when I build web sites for clients has nothing to do with it. I expect he got the idea when I opened an email from Steve at ren and Steve at PoserWorld with a great big update, and I shouted "Its Christmas! Its Christmas!" and started downloading like a madman.

Of course it's like playing with Barbie dolls! After all, when speaking of an unmorphed, untextured, bald, naked Victoria, what terminology do we use? "Vicky right out of the box." And Poser gives me all the joy and excitement missing from life since I stopped getting Barbie things under the tree at Christmas. grin Barbie...in a GOOD way. :)))))

wait till our kids start playing with programs like these to (dare i say...)replace (oh gasp nnoooo) barbie? oh the humanity!!!!!!!! and i dont have kids yet...

Heh, good thing my partner doesn't read the boards here! The reason I started playing with Poser at all was because he got tired of me dragging him into the computer room every few moments to show him the latest KISS doll I had found :) He looked around and found Poser 4 stuff. Thinking it was a game of some sort, he got the darned thing...and his poor debit card has never known peace since! After all the money invested on 'virtual doll' stuff...he wishes he had just bought me a damned Barbie :p

My daughter sings when using Poser (well she's 9) "I'm a Poser Girl in a Poser World, You can give me hair... bend me anywhere...."

I only play with 'Electronic Dungeons and Dragons' here!!

• wanders by, glances at Marque's pic, pulls ring * "Math is hard!" * drops doll in disgust and incinerates it *

lol! just talk to me; i'm the therapist. i'll listen, but first send me a hefty check.... ;)

Now all we need is a wav file!
