Is this Bryce 5.0 the same one that Coral used to sell or has DAZ changed anything
in it?  Because I already have the Coral version of Bryce 5.0 and if it is the same
thing then it would sort of be a waste of time for me to download it.

Quote - I find this type of figures easier to work with - all the morphs are where I want them, and I can use any of them anytime I want to. All that INJ-REM stuff is so messy :/

OTOH wading through all the teeth and lip and ear and nose and cheek and brow
and eye and facial features and head morphs that are set to zero anyway to get to
the smile morphs gets kind of messy too.  I mean if have have a normal human
woman I don't need the cat ears and cat nose and fangs morphs.

The Doc's got his own website here.

The wings tut is here.

Yeah, bummer, I thought the Doc had a new tut for us.

Sure, just go to the Material Room.  Select Advanced from the tabs
Click on the body part you want to color.
You'll see a window that has a box in it called Poser Surface with a bunch
of different things like Diffuse Color, Specular Color, and so on.
On the row called Diffuse Color look for a little electrical plug looking
icon and click on it.  Then in the pop-up window click on new node.
Scroll down to 2D textures and select Image Map.  This creates
a new node. In that node click on Image source.  Another pop-up
window comes up which allows you to browse to the file that
has your texture.  Then go back to the Pose room, set up your
character's poses and render.

Quote - If you have more than 6 lights in a scene, Poser 6 won't give an accurate preview of them. (Hmmm... maybe it's 5 lights actually - I'm not certain.)

It's rather an annoying "feature" which means you have to keep re-rendering to get an accurate preview.

If you have less than 6 lights, then there is probably a prop which is casting shadows somewhere unexpected. Check the positioning of your lights. Looking through the shadow cameras can sometimes reveal problems - for example, you might have a light hiden behind a wall where it can't illuminate the figure.

But what is great about Poser 6 is you don't have to render the entire scene.
Just do an area render of the part you are having trouble with and when you
get it the way you like it, then render the whole scene.

Quote - > Quote - ...I was looking for a resonable F-15 or any aircraft for the Aircraft carrier.  

F-15 don't operate from aircraft carriers.

F15s and F16s are airforce jets and operate from ground bases

F14s and F18s  (or F/A18 if you prefer) operate from aircraft carriers (and ground bases)

LOL, that's true.  But back when I was in the Navy we still were using the F4 Phantoms,
A6 Intruders, and A7 Corsairs.  It would be interesting to do the carrier in the Vietnam war
era using those aircraft
(Phantom was a rather ironic name, in that the F4 left such a huge trail of smoke
the MIGs could see them from miles away)

Quote - Yes, that is why I purchased it. A very awesome model, although it is high in poly. I had to download this demo program (Autodesk 3DS Max 8) to remove some stuff. If I had $3500.00 on me, I wouldn't hesitate to buy the program for personal use, and not business. But, will be nice if their was one modern Aircraft carrier for Poser or any kind of Aircraft Carriers for poser as a matter of fact. We have to think large.

Here you can see I did remove a few things. Helped to use in Poser(6). Still adding the textures that come with it. I removed the propellers, that when i do make image (or video), they will not be showing in them. I also removed some other things. I know the full version of the Aircraft Carrier I have, will do good in the future. Now, to make a ocean...Ummm.

Hey, it's the USS Kitty Hawk, CV63.  When I was in the Navy I served on the USS Constellation, CV64.
The Kitty Hawk and the Constellation were sister ships, other than a few minor
differences they looked indentical.  I guess if I were to buy that model I'd have to
change the 63 to 64.

Yeah, it's a toss-up between the far right and the 2nd from the left, but I think
the far right wins out.  (not trying to make any kind of political statement  )
As for lighting I like the 2nd row.

Actually that is sort of the way all of the older DAZ figures worked.  V2 and M2  and
the Mil Kids had all of the morphs built in. 
That's why they went with INJ/REM for V3 and M3, to make the CR2 and PZ3 files smaller.

Just wondering if you could use dynamic clothing instead?  I find dynamic clothing
move much more naturally in an animation.  And there is no problem with morphs
using dynamic clothing as it molds to the figure so the same clothing item can
fit on lots of different figures.

Quote - Didn't work for me.  Period.  I used all the links and crawled through stuff and got the SAME response.

"Home :: Bad coupon codeYou have entered an incorrect coupon code !

CP's new layout gives me brain cancer. LOL

Oh, well...back to the drawing board. :o/

Apparently the coupon is only good for E-Frontier products.
If you try to use it for 3rd party products you get that message.
For instance you can get the discount on Miki, but not
on GND.

The ones that bug me are shoes.  Make any change in the length of the leg and they
don't fit anymore.  And unfortunately shoes don't work in the cloth room. So it's
basically turning the shoes into a prop and then fiddling with the X Y and Z
translates and rotates to get the shoes onto the feet and then parenting the
shoes to the feet.  Boots and long stocking, forget about it.

Diolma, you could just mash down a cube in the Y direction to make a single CD case
and use the grouping tool to create more.  Then just stack them together.
Same with books only shrink them in the X direction to make them rectangular.
Then just put a suitable image map on them to make them look like books.

Poser 6 has a bug in it in regards to mirroring transparent objects.
I e-mailed E-Frontier about it. They had me send them the PZ3
file so they could look at it.  They acknowledged there
is a problem but had no solution.  In my case it was the
eyebrows that looked funky. But in that Koz's hair depends
on transparency maps too, this is going to happen there too
and apparently there is nothing that can be done about it.
I'm not sure if SR3 fixed it or not, but I didn't see that
problem listed in the items SR3 is supposed to fix.

Probably the best bet is to buy or check out at the library some body building
books.  They would explain how to build up each muscle group, but that
way you could see what that muscle group looks like and the proper name
for it.  It would also act as a guide so that you could shape your character
to look like one of the models in the book.  Then just start turning the dials
until your character's muscle looks like the one in the book.
