well, you do know you're addicted to poser when:

1. you tell your kids to xtran to the left or the right so they don't fall off the chair

2. you tell your kids don't ytran up the stairs too fast or they'd get an owie

3. you tell your boyfriend/girlfriend/spouse to parent their lips to yours

4. you have a runtime full of clothes but nothing to wear for a dinner date...did i say "runtime"?  i meant closet.

:biggrin:

i'm with Silke...Audrey Hepburn is the fairest of them all ;) Rain

just thought i'd chime in and welcome marta and dante. i haven't been around as long as everyone else has but i thought i'd assure you that for the four months and a half that i have been in this little household, i gained a lot of friends and gotten a lot of help from anyone i turn to. so don't worry, you're considered a family the minute you held that poser box in your hands. welcome and hope to see your work soon =) hugs, Rain

i got one....super men in tights!!! this so reminds me of paris hilton claiming the words "that's hot" as her own.

i may agree that there are some renders out there that just lacks taste but to say that all nudes are devoid of its artistic value just doesn't sit right. we are given a choice in this world and if you choose not to see naked women with breasts big enough to sink a battleship then by all means don't. if the only reason why an artist makes nudes is to get more views then he/she is missing the point. fact of the matter is, i don't even think just because a piece is viewed a thousand times count. sometimes i click on a thumbnail and gets disapointed when the rest of the render doesn't deliver but by then it's too late...i already clicked it and it's already counted in. still doesn't make it the greatest, does it?

dear egmont, a wonderful friend Kort sent me a message today telling me of your progress which hasn't gone as well as we all had expected. now, i have never heard from kort before, and with the hundreds and thousands of artists in this gallery alone, it is hard to get to know everyone. i call him a wonderful friend because anyone who contacts strangers to let them know how another friend is doing makes him a wonderful friend in my book. funny how we all touch one another without the actual physical "touch". we move each other even if we're all separated by miles or even seas. i guess what touched me the most is your devotion to your wife and her devotion to you. that is a rarity these days. love does indeed conquer all and i am adamant that anyone who could love as much as you have, anyone with such a devotion is bound to conquer whatever challenges are thrown their way. i continue to hope for a speedy recovery and will continue to say a little prayer for you and your wife. i am wishing for more of your wonderful photographs and soon! get well soon my friend and give my love to your wonderful wife =) hugs, Rain

make that two...you made mine too even though i haven't a clue what poser 4 is like. i may be jinxing myself here but i haven't encountered a problem (yet...knock on wood) that will cause me to pull my hair out.

Acadia's list except gotta have "Numbers" in there somewhere. Not much for classics unless we're talking MASH.

Thank you very much for the prompt reply, Deb...I appreciate it a lot. Download's been successful.

Elzoejam, yes indeed...this is my very first purchase among the many I will be making. I think I might need a second job.

Requested info sent

Thanks randym, I gathered that much from the link Acadia sent me. =)

Much thanks and lotsa hugs Acadia. I was warned I'd have sleepless nights playing with my new toy and this is my very first purchase so you can just imagine how much I am pouting I have been doing lol...thanks again =)

oh, and i will try to be as specific with whatever problems i come across with - that's a promise. that's one of the things i've learned reading through the "help" posts. i guess i'll have to put the 4 Ps into practice once again. the 4 Ps being: Patience, Perseverance, Persistence and Profanity...lol...darn, thought i didn't have to worry about that after the divorce.

Diolma, I have seen that post of yours whilst flipping through the posts and I have even copied and pasted it into a file. I am very thankful to all of you and can't wait to get started. By the way, the package arrived earlier than expected so you guys will be hearing more from me, lol. In the meantime, I am cleaning up as much programs and deleting those I won't need to free up more space. Many thanks once again to all of you!
