Yes, that was the 9mbi website. I remember they made the John McCain figure a freebie after awhile and they also had a George W. Bush character.

Yeah that might be i. I purchased some stuff from them and got frustrated they closed down without warning I can recall and I missed getting add-on stuff for some of my purchases.

Isn't there also an A4 Realistic set one gets with A4 stuff and V4++ morphs?

The only people jumping ship are the vendors who are just following the money trail. I can't blame them either, I would in their shoes.

That is great and i too understand this. BUT why cut off their noses to spite their...well.....pocketbooks? shutting out Poser users as a rich market to your products is plain stupid. Many of the content creators know how or have produced content for both platforms before. why not continue? If DAZ doesn't allow them to sell (or persuades then not to which has humorously been vehemently denied elsewhere ) then why not create the Poser versions under another artist name elsewhere?

The problem runs much deeper. as much as I can see the Genesis figures only being used in D/S their base application afterall, why does DAZ content creation team also refuse to create support content like scenes and props and sets and architecture and weapons and vehicles and nature and hair ALSO ONLY for D/S? It is stuff we should all be able to purchases and use especially as the content is getting more and more sophisticated looking and realistic. I hate seeing a beautifully crafted hair prop, or bunker or sand dune or woodsy knoll offered ONLY in D/S format when i would love to get it to use in my work in Poser. As far as I am concerned their marketing strategy seems flawed and therefore sucks!

Yes Hivewire seems a good option but still way to small and they do not offer support or content for the old DAZ Mil figures? I don't much like dawn or dusk and even if they were nicer I would avoid spending more darn money on still new figures when I have so much invested in the Mil 2 to Mil4 figures already. Maybe as they get overflow of content creators from RDNA for instance who create Poser content I might consider it a viable site to peruse but not yet ready for prime time in my opinion. I have purchased product there however...animals and sets so not totally out my my content universe just not a complete product site. Also the problem with limited content posting there and their very tight TOS like DAZ has been for so long frustrates the hell out of me. I am going to stay here for a while and I am going to really miss RDNA for that and so many other reasons!

Schmoes looks good. I have one question which, if taken out of context, could be deemed disgusting, but I hope that, within this context, it isn't:

Can K4 be made anatomically correct? >.>

Do you mean with simple genital crease and/or breasts? I have wanted to be able to do that for a while.

Even iff it's violating the TOS, yes

Hmmmm...disgusting or no..i.f that is the case......how? I have been trying to use the K4 fantasy figures at daz, troll, shmoo, dragalien, etc which are easiy to create as males but not as females (breasts and simple gen crease) and add female version and not being able to convert the figure to a more realistic female creature have to do a lot of post work. I DO NOT do erotic images with them but I need more realistic versions for my fantasy renders. If I can figure out how to do this for the K4 figures I would make my work better looking and easier to get through. Is it a converter or morphs set one can use?

I'm certainly not buying as much; The last time I spent anything here was early last July. There haven't been as many good deals as in the past...

I have found most of the sale announcements I get in my email box pertain almost always to membership product prices and not as much to regular consumer buy prices. It seems they really want everyone to join the club and offer those deals to do so. I get pissed off clicking on the links sometimes only to find I need to join the Renderosity Consumer Club (or whatever it is officially called) to get the promotional $3 price on it. Should include that detail in the promo letter they send out. Yeah more and more stuff in the freestuff section is getting to be for D/S. I am not a D/S user so ALL products not for Poser I ignore. It just frustrates me looking at them and not liking them not be able to use them.

we can always save the file to the library and it will create a new thumb more appropriate to the Poser version you use but who the frell wants to keep dong that/ Right?

like it would also be sweet if newer versions of Poser allowed .Pict file formats for textures and .bum file formats for bump maps. I have a load of textures and bumps from older Poser versions I use all the time and it frustrates the hell out of me recalling a character created in say Poser 7 using textures in .pict and .bum formats only to be tld there is a texture that can't loa. It is a pain the heinie looking through all th textures on a character or scene to find the offending one and then i have to load it in photoshop and reformat it to work in a newer version of Poser.

.... never a quiet moment ... if it's not the cat shouting for food, the wife complaining or the telephone ringing, it's my damn genitals talking to themselves again ...

(Sorry - couldn't resist that title!)

HahaHa!! Wait....Gentials talking to each other?....you have more than one?

There is a scifi story I believe is called TEETH and yes it is exactly what you suspect...interesting little tale....about a vaginal dentata. Scary to think of the possibilities and maybe the church set us up for this urban myth and maybe that is why so many guys without experience are afraid of getting too "close and personal" In her face kinda thing at first but worth a look. I guess if it has teeth it must talk too...no!? if a woman calls her breasts "her girls" what does she call "That" if it talks to her...I wonder. And if it has teeth.......hmmmm!!!!!????

Never had much luck with duplicating body morphs and shapes from one figure to another but then again I am NOT the sharpest nail in the bag when it comes to what i bleieve to be more complex Poser functions. To get around it all, I set up one figure and inject all the base morphs for example a base figure with the Perfect base function and then add all the Perfect morphs and then all the V4 and v4++ morphs and genital morphs, etc. I save her back in the library as a base figure. As needed i call her up and do the dial spin magic or add other character morphs to her. Once I get my best character i sometimes remove the morphs i do NOT need for her to reduce the size of the file and save her with all her glorious character adjustments (in your case the winning Lali Bits morphs you love) and re-save her complete as my new complete Named character, into my library so I can call her up as needed. This way if LaliBits is "perfect" for my needs it will be perfect ll the time no matter how i might change the character's looks, etc. I know it is time consuming but in the end i love the ease with which i can call up what I need ALL THE TIME duplicating that perfect "look" to all her bits.

nice figure though i wish they would include more render samples pf her to show the full figure. is the paul figure not out yet? did not see it there.

same as she asked! LOL

Thanks. still having problems with Lali Bits. I tried it the first time in Poser 7 and I got it injected and set up but when I saved it to the library and tried reopening it it exploded. Erogenesis told me they were having problems with that version of Poser so when I upgraded to 2011 Pro I can't figure out the injection sequence (don't remember how I did it the first time I tried using the instructions) and can't find the read me file/instructions for it. Gotta contact Uncle Ero for help.

Quoting a great man: "Hmmm.... think it's dead Jim." :{

Arrrrggg! The damn bots here are worthless. I had to find all the email replies from earlier to get back here. Thanks Boni. I will try this when i get inspired to launch Poser again. I still do NOT like Poser 11. Still going to sleep on me and it is frustrating especially when you are in a hurry to get something posed and rendered. I rarely launch it now I have an old poser 4 book that shows step by atep in the old fashion way of simple materials room how to do this. It is not of course real lighting effects and only addsa a glowing effect to any object but I applied it to eyes for instance, or hands to make them glow and then had to relight each glowing item to make it appear as self illumination source. But will try it in Poser2014 the REAL way....as I said...when ifeel my brain has a semblance of inspiration.

seachnasaigh: Not really. Once I was thinking of a flying horse and then of a sword but mostly wanted to figure out how to do it as needed with whatever. Just wish i could wrap my damaged brain around all this stuff easier. But Boni's VISUAL tutorial I think will help. I will bring up the page on my tablet so I can DO it as I see it without having to bounce back and forth which really messes me up making it difficult to do anything.....well.....MORE difficult anyway! :(

Thanks everyone!
