This thumbnail violates one of the sacred-and-oft-quoted Renderosity Terms of Service, this one regarding acceptable images: "No Explicit sexual content [No manipulation of breasts/nipples/ no sexual situations/ no 'implied' sexual situations" Discussion over. (Unless, of course, this is one of the thousand-and-one exceptions the PTB decide to make, by either omission or commission, to the otherwise-sacred TOS.) The only item it supposedly violates is "manipulation of..." However that does not mean just any manipulation in my opinion. That measn manipulation is a sexual manor. Grabbing ones breasts or bits is not a sexual act. PeteJ

"... Really. Okay, once again I state: I don't care about nudity or sex in the least, so long as they're in the right places. If someone came into a public school and shoved her breasts at a kid, I'd call the cops and then take the kid to a therapist." And if I was your kid, I would kick you in the knee for calling the cops and then in your bits for wasting money on a shrink when all that needed to be done was for you and I to discuss what I saw. LOL. "If some woman was walking down the street and shoved her nude breasts at me? I'd call the cops and probably ask her what she was on." If some woman did that to me I'd love it. Especially if she was attractive. Similarly,I would bet that if a guy did that to you with his bits, you would not object in the least if he were attractive. If you did object then you would not be gay as you say you are. There's a time and a place for 'vulgar' nudity, and the freestuff area is NOT the place. There is no "vulgar" nudity in in the freestuff. I know this woman I work with who's boods are each larger than her waste and she is fat. Unattractive to me? Yes. Vulgar? no. Even when she grabs them to push them out of the way or reset them. Not vulgar. About the Renderotica remark: Well seeing how the display of nudity on the thumbs has been around since before what is now renderosity existed. Obviously it is appropriate for this website. PLease go create a Poser PC website for yourself and those like you if you wish. The way I see it, you have no right to complain. YOu knew what this site was all about the first time you came here and it will not waver from that in the future. Again stop surfing when your kids are around. Turn off the thumbs. YOu cannot have it both ways. Besides, in your case you do not need to see the thumbs since you do not feel the need to see what the upload does prior to your downloading it. PeteJ

"And the ones who are convinced that all the naked Vickis here are a sign that women are demeaned somehow" JUst the logic that the display of nude women it what ever janra(spelling?) is also ridiculous. Take hetero porn for instance. Isn't the guy also being demeaned?Especiallly since the male actore only makes a quarter of what the females do. Okay, so some actors call the actresses names and stuff. I do think that that is piggish of men an therefore demeaning but still, in the end the actress has the upperhand. And what of gay porn? OF the two actors which is the one being demeaned? The catcher other pitcher? If both are not famous do they both make the same amount of money? Why is it that some women always complain about things that demean women but they never bother to mention that its demeaning to men too using thier logic. Its because really they know that its not demeaning and that they wish they were making the money that the actresses are. BTW they start at 1k per day all the way up to 5k and possibly more. Averge video can take up to 3 days and each actress pumps out, so to speak, several videos a month. Do the math who's being exploited here? The men. PeteJ

" However, it's not very tasteful, now is it? I wouldn't want this to be a freebie here. Why? it's just not tasteful." Oh Christ, Khryst. I mean Khrys, There is nothing tasteless about that manly thumbnail. Nothing at all. Its a human body part. Get over it. Again, Renderosity is not and has never been a "Family site" Sure there isn't gratuitous sex in the freebie thumbs because that would serve nothing But if your manly thumb happened to be a vastly more realistic texture for that manly body part then I would want to see the quality of it prior to downloading.

"The visual is just not what one expects to see in freebie thumbnails." NO. YOu mean to say its not what YOU expect" The majority here know full well what to expect at this site. Stupid points that others made: The content reflects on them in the shop and in the free stuff. Hardly the case. Do I think all here are perverse(no offense) based on what a few post? Not at all. Perhaps on should start a Renderosity sister site called "PoserPrudosity" and only allow full length clothing and zero morphs to keep that stiff manichen look. PeteJ

wolf359, I hope that was just a quick and dirty demo mpg. no omes brests bounces that violently when walking. Further, they are bounces nearly in sync and real ones don't do that either when the body moves. LOL PeteJ

"Yeah, but since when does it have to be in the thumbnails for freestuff items. Best reserved for the galleries or posting. We keep touting to be a "family" site but then we let stuff like this get out there. Cant play it both ways folks." Dave, since before you ever knew renderosity existed. I think just about ever 3D forum displays nude thumbnails. Just be happy that none show a sexual act. Next you will be crying about lingerie, leather or "toys" being displayed all by themselves. Especially if the toys resemble human body parts that are uhm... "happy". BTW, Renderosity in its current and past forms has never ever been a "family site". Family sites have zero nudity period. in any and all sections.

"Yadda yadda yadda... but I sympathise with the original point. You have control in visiting the galleries but I would like some voluntary restraint in the Freestuff Thumbnails so I can go there unfiltered... not only are there times other people are around, there is also stuff I just don't want to see. But... my attitude relies on mature judgment and sensitive from the posters, I am convinced these bondage and discipline people actually seek to shock and offend... so I guess they are getting their jollies form the likes of me." Ridiculous. YOu can turn off the TV right? Why can you not turn off texture loading in your browser and do it in text mode only. Or better yet not even load renderosity. I for one want a detailed thumb that shows me exactly what I am getting and how it will look before I download it. YOu can blame Renderosity for not having a "turn off thumbnails" optoion on thier webpages as other sites do. YOu would read playgirl around the kids right? So don't do renderosity around the kids either. Or pser for that matter. Sensativities of others? So then I suppose it would be "insensative" to post a thumbnail of a Nazi soldier uniform for some people here? Not likely at all. In fact such a uniform has already been posted here. Artists come in all shapes and sizes. I suppose the author could have chosen to demonstrate softbodies with pressing a hand on an arm but since the dominiate form of art her is nude Victoria/Posette what better place than on the breasts. Just get over it a refrain from Posering around your family. PeteJ

IN POser to export an animation yu need to select Animation/Movie Ouput Settings. Select all the boxes That you want like "cast shadows" etc. Also you should select you render setting(the balls at the bottom). Select Texture Shaded.Then go to Animation/Make Movie. A window will pop up. YOu need to change the Quality setting from "Current display settings" to Current render settings" Don't forget to select "anti alias". PeteJ

???????????? Uhm, POser?

Cyhiraeth, They guy emailed me the tuorials current location. Its an ingeniously simple idea. One for the "why didn't I think o' that" and "how to" folders. Here it is: http://members.dodo.com.au/~bruzak/scaner/scanneren.htm

Sounds like a future conflict of interest. DAZ studio competeing against poser and yet DAZ being the key supplier of charcters,clothes, and props. PeteJ

AH yeah I remeber this one. I wonder if its fairly easy to build a motion capture studio on your own. I know that the ones you can buy are super expensive. I've always hated the sliding feet and inaccurate placement on the plane. I guess that a result of a low grade magnetic or IR setup. It also annoies me that POser had to have a special BVH format. Notice that that nearly all the BVH's designed for pro software place the the characters hip on the plane rather than the feet when used in poser. PeteJ

Oh christ, all this anti-Win/XP "evil-empire" crap. Hey, have any of you ever used Windows Update? For your information its quite capable of checking a recording every little detail about what is on your system.Let that massage your paranoia. And yet, MS only uses it to check if you need to update. As far as XP stability, you asking too much if you expect XP to run fine on a system that came with Win98/SE on it hence the problems. Sure it could work fine. But not on all systems originally containing Win988. Someone actually missed Win95? Win98 is indeed very much improved. At last check The lates service release of XP greatly improves it. I have yet to read major bad stuff about it. As far as the pain full "new code required" thing. Yeah that sucks. But rather than be pissed at MS why don't you direct your irritation where it belongs. THe piracy groups and thier downloaders. PeteJ

Fascinating look into the process that became Poser. PeteJ
