who is number 1? Commander Will Riker.

If that sort of thing happens, then call the police. They might not be able to do much at first, but if the problems carry on and they get more complaints about those people then they should start to take things seriously.

I don't know which country your from, but in Britain if problems like that persist, then you can try to get an ASBO (anti-social behaviour order) against them. Meaning that if they do anything like that again, then they can be removed from the area.

I can sypathise with you. My dad's house is jioned onto won that was bought by someone to rent out. Lots of people came and went, most of whom did a runner after smashing the place up. There was this one couple with two young kids, the kids were alright, I felt sorry for them. The parents were always getting drunk, fightining, screaming and smashing things in the middle of the night. The neighbour on the other side of them tried to compliain by going to see them and was threatened by the bloke with one of those "decorative" samauri swords that you can get in places like Glasgow. The neighbour called the police, but they couldn't find and had no proof.  After being carted away several times by the police for drunken and disorderly behaviour. The landlord gave them notice. They decided to do a runner with some of the furniture in the middle of the night, and smashed the rest of the place up. When then landlord took down some damaged fixed wall units, he found the sword had been hidden down behind them. I think after that, he was a bit more carefull who he rented the place to.

Fantastic models especially the guards helmet. I wish there was more Stargate SG1 and Atlantis stuff out there.

Rawnrr, only one slight niggle. The Stargate actually has nine chevrons, not seven. You dont usually see the bottom two because of the steps/ ramp/ ground that the gate is next to hide them, unless its floating in space. As far as I can remember the eighth chevron only came into action in "The Fifth Race" as a way of reaching a different area code. The ninth has never been used.

STARGATE NERD ALERT!

I've been wondering about the compatability with existing programs and drivers. I remember that there were alot of problems when XP came out because hardly anyone had created XP drivers for their add-on hardware.

Poser may or may not run on Vista, the difference being that if you are testing a Vsta upgrade, many of the old drivers and other files will still be there. I have an old laptop that I upgraded from ME to XP. Some of the programs that will run on that machine will not run on my main computer, which was bought with XP already on it. Also I have heard that there are 6 different versions of Vista going to be available (only 5 to those of us in the UK), there may be compatability issuse with different versions.

Vista was supposed to be out ages ago, I think that one of the causes for the delays is that some of the governments had concerns over the improved security in the OS and wanted to have a "back door" put in so that they could still access any criminal activity the way they do now.

Thankyou for the reply Redfern, but those are the addresses that I already have for the sites, but all I get is the "page cannot be displayed" page. Is anyone else having the same problem or is it just me? Cybermen hate the British that's why they keep invading our quarries! Perhaps their stopping me from getting in.

PS the super deforms kit in the 'rosity market place would be cool for making these, I can imagine a toon "bobble-head" Davros. Oh wait he already looks like that!

and a K-9!

On the subject of 3d cybermen; does anyone know what happened to the Who3d forum and Robbs 3d doctor who website? They were both hosted on  interocitor-media.com but they seem to have been down for months.

I remember that there was a really realistic model of the new style cyberman that someone was working on, Phillip Hogg I think, dont remember his screen name. Anyway he did some fantastic screen renders of the new model and another one with a group of cybermen and some flames coming up from the ground. I think that when he was finished with the modelling, he was going to try to turn it into a poser figure.

If anyone know of any new links for these sites or whether Phillips cyberman was ever finished or posted anywhere, could you please post a link here as the cyberman figure would compliment the poser dalek really well.

Thanks

Since windows installed the update on my computer earlier this week, my copy of Ulead PhotoImpact XL has been crashing as it tries to load up some of the files that it needs to work. Tried rolling back to an earlier restore point did't work; tried reinstalling the program same thing. If this is what one of their updates does to usually reliable software then god knows what chaos will break loose when they eventually release Vista!! :b_scared:

Judging the new series of Doctor Who on what the classic series was like is the same as judging the new Battlestar Galactica with the original. Some people prefer one over the other, some judge each on it's own merits (I like them all). Remember the tv movie was co-produced with an American tv network with American audiences in mind but for the most part it sank like a lead balloon in the States but did pretty well this side of the pond. People who like Doctor Who like it because of its Britishness. It makes it different from all of the other sci-fi shows. And to BAR-CODE, remember; in the seventies when we were dressing men up in rubber suits; Battlestar Galactica was dressing monkeys up as robot dogs!

I've tried various 3d programs including shade and anim8or. Some of the letters are OK, however letters like R, P etc that "have holes in them" do not import into Poser properly and the holes get filled in. Does anyone know how to stop or get around this. I usully export them to obj.

How about about referring to all poser content by a symbol, or unspecified content formally known as poser.

Sorry, just this minute got your second post about the name of your newer site. I can't see why they did it, how are people supposed to sell products that THEY have created if this is what happens. This means that anyone, including Renderosity, DAZ or Runtime DNA could be shut down for using the words poser on their site.
The trouble is that these companies that do the searches possibly don't even check to see if the copyrights been infringed or not. Just read the message above and I agree that a more generic term could be used if this sort of "witch hunting" continues. Unfortunately "pz3, cr2, pp2" and the other file formats that describe exactly what they are, are likely copyrighted too. If someone was use any of those, the same thing could happen.

I agree that this Mike Watso person and ebay have been unfair by suspending your account without hearing your side. However after reading about similar cases in the UK press a few years ago, it doesn't surprise me. Here's an explanation as to why this may have happened. Although the words "Poser" and "Store" are not copyrighted, the fact that you are using the words in the name of your site, to sell products that are in some way related to, but not created by Curious Labs the makers of Poser means that you are using the word "Poser" in the context of the name of the program, which IS registered. This could seem misleading for some people.If you had named your site something else and used those words in a way on your site such as "my poser store" or "my poser products" (indicating that they are something that you have created), they probably wouldn't have been able to do what they did. This is why lots of companies register multiple domain names for both their company and products, to stop variations of their name or products being used. McDonalds tried to take someone in Scotland to court for having a burger place called MacDonalds, despite the difference in spelling and the fact that the owner's name was MacDonald. Some companies deliberately try to trade off another companies name, which unfortunately comes back to kick innocent merchants in the ar*e "when they are tarred with the same brush" One of the main reasons I use my full name here at Renderosity etc despite that fact that most people shorten it, is that if I started trading Poser stuff under the name DAZ UK, I'd probably have DAZ on my back for the same reason.

I never got that email, but I sent an email to CL and they got back to me in no time at all. Problem sorted!

I got mine this morning too. I live in Kent which is the south east of England. I just used regular Royal Mail for my delivery. Didn't want the package bouncing to and fro to the UPS depot if I was out.

Mine too, but I selected regular post as I live near the sorting office. It's easier collecting it later if they've tried to deliver it when I'm out. Could take a few extra days.
