yeah misty i just went ahead and installed melody and micah without fussing with a decoder , and all was perfect
i was just confused is all
and yes you are right there are lots of injections
thank you for your response

cool- that is what i feel also...i was basically just wondering if anyone had better luck with these files. i agree with the specific animation sets are much better, and the little i have tweaked with bvh is never worth the time
thanx for your help

wolf thank you
i have done some as per ya suggestion- thing is most seem to have DS as the standard, not to say you are wrong but time vs reward
do you have experience in that matter?

yeah i just tried it out to see if it would work- and everything is fine
thank you all for the help
although i do have another question regarding thier tails or tails in general- is there a way to lock them? i tend to use walk designer which fits the bill most of the time but with creatures with tails the tail just sticks out, and i have found out that once a walk pattern has been set movement of parts is not possible. or is there a button i am not checking off somewhere
any ideas?

wait! or is this the reverse- they need to be decoded for poser?

i got this bundle for melody and micah for a3 and h3 and a few of the rars decoders- however i have never incountered anything like this- i thought the rars would be the usual extract and put in the right folders-
hmmmmm i just re read the readme- and it sounds like it is a daz studio thing?
does that sound right? becuase i am using poser not daz studio-and i am not sure i even need to bother with it
and yes r-hatch the rtencoder is the first step(i was reading it sort fast)

i am not too worried- i just have to get used to the change - i will manage =o) just need to finish up a few things with the gen3's then revamp
oh btw laurie i looked at ya gallery- nice work!

i kinda figured that- it is not a problem- but i was wondering
thanx for the response

ok- so basically longer render times for slight increase in pic quality- got it
and since i have your ear - how do gen3 mats work on gen4? i am guess there is a slight size difference, so one would have to tweak the texture elsewhere then apply it manually.
am i close?

ok good- i was just wondering- thanx
plus there is this "Elite" what is that reffering to?

ahhhhh cool- good to know thanx
what is the difference btw v4 and v4.2? are the mats, morphs and gear interchangable?

yeah true- i was not sure if you had it or not- you could just tweak BVH's i have done it before but not female to male so not dont know if that will look right the one i have which is good aside from desert soldier is the lapd swat one you mentioned- plus it fits m3- though i am not sure what you are trying to do.

desert soldier has a has a free swat texture- at vanishing point.biz

i have win7 (but use poser pro2009ed.))and had a simliar issue- until i realized when installing exes and such if you select "all poser files" as the path it does not work- after reading other threads i found out you have to select "daz studio" as the path. plus with my comp i have 2 programs folders, by default - "program files" and "program files x86"- mine installs in the the x86.
as for just putting the runtime folder in poser - that should have worked- i installed poser5 to get some on the low res and cartoons chars ,removed the files i wanted uninstall poser5 then just put the runtime folder in poserpro-i had no problems

not sure if that helps any but thought i would chime in

hmmmmmmmmm i bet it eats ram- think is well i only tried to view in wmm and there was nothing
thinking i need to install aftereffects and maybe make the explosions the easier why- increase and single image then tweek it in AE
