Thanks! Didn't know there was an update to the program! I've been using this ever since I found in freestuff a couple of years ago. Liz

I don't know why it does this either. I've been 'suffering' with this for quite a few months now and figured it was just a quirk of this version of P4. I use P4 for compositing a picture before taking it into P5 to add P5 Mats and using Firefly. This little quirk does make it difficult to run through the Pose and Mat files to find what you're looking for. My pose folder is so stuffed, that sometimes to find a pose I resort to using P3dExplorer to search my folders for a particular pose while Poser itself is minimized. I hopeful wish for Poser6 is for there to be a separate main menu folder to throw all the tons of Mat Poses into. And I have a ton of them. I started a filing system to arrange it all. V2 and V3 poses start with 1F-"name", and Mats, are 2MAT-"name". That puts the Poses I use most up at the top of the listing, and the Mat files all bunched down below that. So unless someone crusader comes in and answers this question for us, I suggest to you, Nukeboy, to download from freestuff the P3dExplorer to use on the side for locating poses. Liz

Also conform the hair before posing. I've noticed this problem on some hair models that aren't conforming. So I always try to put the hair on before posing. And if it's not a conforming piece, but a regular hair item from the Hair folder, make sure it's parented to the figure because sometimes you can go to pose the figure after applying the hair and suddenly the hair flies way some distance from the figure as if shot by a sling shot. Liz

hitting head I'd stopped using the square prop with the background pic on it because I'd get shadows cast onto it. So simple to just turn off shadows on that prop! Duh! Learn something new every day! Thanks folks! Liz

My favorite saying is "We agree to disagree". Sometimes it works quite well in a discussion. Since the beginning, I've viewed this site like I do any tv program or radio program. If I don't like it, I just change the channel. If I post an image that has nudity of any kind in it, I do click the little button for it. I know some artist forget to do that, but I don't. And for my own personal preferences, I have it clicked so that I do see thumbnails with nudity. However, what people are worried about is if this Paypal policy extends to the galleries and no images can be made unless the female breast is 80% covered. That is censorship in art. There is absolutely nothing wrong with the nude human form whether it is female or male. I have always seen the beauty in both forms. (call it raised on too much archaeology, too much ancient Egypt and ancient Grecian statues. grin) However there are people here for various reasons who do not wish to view nudity, that's why there is that little box you click when uploading an image. (No it doesn't take 5 minutes to do an 'oral image', and it usually takes me several hours to do what I do, which are Fetish and fantasty pinups) I agree with Igohigh, there should be a little box to check that's called "Cute Alert". grin Liz

snicker Ah, someone else who knows who Snake Plisskin is! Always wanted to make a Poser figure of him. It would be a challenge, but he could Escape from Paypal, I'm sure of it! He's like a cat with a thousand lives. grinning Liz

Igohigh, you statement reminds me of a scene out of Escape from LA (one of my all time favorite movies). "No smoking, no drinking, no sex, unless you're married, no red meat.........." Snake replies, "Yeah, land of the free." I know it's not a direct quote, been a while since I popped it into the DVD player. But your statement just reminded me of that exchange. Liz

Turtle, I was actually introduced to Poser by Thrallord. I'd just ordered Bryce, and it hadn't come in the mail yet and I was cruising sites looking for free downloads for a program I hadn't even gotten yet (and wasn't sure I could figure out how to loose), when I came across Thrallord's erotic site. As things go now, of coure, it was primitive work, but well done. I sent him an email telling him how I enjoyed his site. He somehow misunderstood my email and thought that I was getting Poser in the mail and not Bryce, and he welcomed me warmly to the Poser community. Then I had to explain that I was getting Bryce and checked the price on this Poser thing and it was out of my budget. Well it just happened to be at the time when Poser 4 had just come out and he had just bought the upgrade package. Thrallord actually gave me his Poser3. You read that right. I took a chance and gave him my address and he gave me Poser3 to play with. He didn't have a manual, so I had to teach myself the program, but still, that's how I became a Poser addict. Took years before the wonderful fetish oriented clothing and items started to be readily available. I wanted to be able to do Olivia or Royo style images. Now that's gonna be 'taboo' or nearly 'taboo' again. Well, I'm gonna hope I can find where Batlabs, BVH, LilFlame, and Richabri go because I will still purchase their work wherever they go. I'll still post here and hope that this policy doesn't extend to the galleries. I might still buy character texture sets here, but as for clothing, it looks like the items I would buy are getting yanked. sad Liz Latexluv (once Dreamspinner)

Its a very sad thing to see this happening here. I was not aware of these things regarding Paypal and Visa. I only use Paypal for Ebay. And the reason I have a Paypal account is that I am a merchant at 3Dcommune and they set me up with a Paypal account for payment purposes. I'm sad to see that Rocity will be yanking a lot of stuff from the store in order to comply with these terms (and I agree that a bank should not be able to dictate what you can do with your money). I buy a lot of fetish and fantasy clothing because I do a lot of art that's like Olivia or Royo (two of my favorite artists). And if the Marketplace doesn't carry a lot of the items that I would buy then the Marketplace isn't going to get much of my money. I am now considering what to do about my Paypal account and the Visa card that I have. Unfortunately, Paypal and Ebay go together for ease of use (and they are now basically the same company). I am also very sorry to hear that Nerd has been banned. He's one of the artists I've known for ages from back just before the change over to the Renderosity name from the old Poser Forum. Sad sad to see. sigh Well, I'm off to buy a copy of the Chronicles of Riddick at the video store and will check back into this mess later on. Liz

I want lots of clothes for David!!!!!! Been saying that since I got this guy. I'd willingly delete M2 and M3 completely if I had enough David clothing. Liz

Cool, cool, cool!!!!!!!!!! Please people, more clothes for David! I am right ready to toss M2 and M3 from my Poser program in favor for David if he only had more cool clothing!!!!!!! Latexluv

Ah! You too! Same here. Liz

Ynsaen, did those bears have 'gummy ball gags' on? Latexluv

P4 now for compositing and posing. P5 for application of P5 Mats and Firefly rendering with raytracing. I'm still finding my way around inside P5, but I figured, since I bought and installed it, I might as well start learning to use it. Latexluv

Yo, Stormrage. I'm still around. Been in lurk mode for more than a year while I took care of my mother who had alzheimers. She passed away last year. I'll eventually get back into texturing like I used to do. Liz Latexluv/Dreamspinner
