These are fantastic!

 Duly noted, Cat.  LOL!

 You're most welcome--glad to hear it all worked out!

Thanks, and thank you for your patience.

I just noticed you're in Canada. I'm trying to remember if there's a conflict with GMail and Canada.  You can also reach me at velvetmoxie@yahoo.com--I'll keep an eye out for a mail from you.  Please let me know if you do or don't get through to Jayme.  Thanks! 

 I'm a mod at Illusions forums.  Can't imagine what the problem might be.

 Try contacting Jayme at contact@illusions-designs.net.  If you don't get a response you can email the details to me at my personal email at velvetmoxie@gmail.com.  If there's a problem with Jayme's emails I can help you from this end.  I'm in the midst of working on my Mom's funeral which is Friday morning but if you can't get through to Jayme  I'll jump in as admin and help you out..

 Forgive me...I might not be able to till Friday afternoon because of the funeral but at Illusions we pride ourselves on customer support--and support you will get!  Under any other circumstances I wouldn't ask you to wait till Friday but I hope you understand.  Any problems are usually resolved immediately; I'm just in a bind time-wise with family and the funeral and all right now.

 Thanks Silke...got the GI Studio pack but so far haven't had a lot of luck with it.  Not just sure why.  Will check out the Bagginsbill's thing...if I can find it, LOL!

 I ran into the same problem...bought the latest version of WinZip mainly for zipping Poser products.  Was afraid my old version wouldn't work with the new Win 7 64 bit system.  Wish I'd tried it first; this new version is a pain in the butt--don't like it at all.  Still have WinRar and will use that whenever possible.

 Anything that helps with the lighting in Poser 8 works for me.  Since I've upgraded my images are very flat and it doesn't seem to matter which light set I use.  WAH I want my Poser 4 render options back, LOL!

Have you told it where all your runtimes are?  I keep my runtimes on a seperate drive and to import I have to have them all listed.  Otherwise I'll get a character with no hair or clothing.

Wow--what an awesome picture!  Working on something else for you too, my friend.  Check my gallery a bit later!

Happy Birthday, Piet!  Now I know why you have such a big heart--hoping its' a wonderful day for you!

Hmmmmm....sounds interesting!  W ill have to check it out!

WOW--what a surprise to be included in this!  Guess I'll have to keep the camera out now.  Thank you so much for choosing one of my images and a hearty congratulations to the others selected.  Congratulations too to those whose images weren't selected--there definitely are no losers in this forum; just a lot of really great photography!

LOL!  I, for one have a monitor that takes 1280x 1024.  I can't imagine the quality would be too great on an image 2000 x 3000 and under 512k (but I'm used to working with Poser so maybe photos are different)  I do find, however, that reducing an image to 600 x 800 or less really kills the picture.  Though I feel bad for you guys who don't have cable connections I think the majority do.  But...doesn't the basic image fit to your computer screen?  Doesn't Rendo's site fit to you screen automatically?  Maybe you just can't use the zoom feature?

Beautifully done, GhostBear!  My husband was born in Huntsville.
