Happy thanksgiving everyone.

Quote - christmas is great  just  leave out the commercial side of it  all the hype bout  buy this  and sales  and all

Yeah.  I'm hoping a certain family member won't drag me out to black friday, opening at midnight, again this year.  I've already bought my presents...

Quote - Oh gawd....Christmas. I don't even wanna think about it.

Aww, come on.  Even I'm in the mood now.  Let's jingle them bells!

I think it's on NBC after they do their dog show on thanksgiving day.  Not 100% sure about that.

Quote - Or are your scenes very complex?

 No, even with a few nodes this problem pops up.  As for specifics, it's most noticable with the dials on the nodes you can add (like math node).  But maybe I'm noticing those because I'm using them a lot.

Okay, new PC same problem in both sreed and open GL.  Windows 7 64 bit, i7 core, 16 gigs ram, 660 Ti gfx card latest drivers, I need to update to SR3.1 but I see nothing in the change log mentioning mat room preformance.

So aside from the SR update, I'm going to assume one of two things:

1.  It's a preference setting I can correct

2.  The mat room is bugged and I can't correct it.

So are there any settings I can tweak which can speed up mat room interactions?

People also will go off on you for the littlest of things.  Just after PP12 came out someone mentioned using it, so I pointed him to some resources to get the most of it.  The b****** decided to go off via sitemail. 

I didn't even say anything bad about the image itself.

Dear Renderosity, your failure in properly organizing the marketplace in a shopper-friendly fashion is examplory, keep up the bad work.  :)

(note I still think it's a step in the right direction, but it needs to be oriented by figure first)

I was toying with the notion of picking up some A3 items while I still could.

Now it looks like I won't be able to find them.  :  I can see stuff for M4, Gene, and a number of other figures I don't have.  No A3.  In fact she isn't even an option anymore.  Well this sucks.

I do like the extra categories, but they are in the wrong place IMO.

Short answer - yes.

Long answer: you'd need a modeling tool of some kind, wings3d and blender are free and I think hex might still be free over at daz.  Then you have to learn to use it.  Then you have a few options.

1.  Create a new prop (shutter) and parent it to the original in poser.

2.  If the geometry allows it you can tweak it to be a figure.  Figures can have bendy parts.  This involves using the setup room.

3.  Tweak the obj file (back it up first) in your modeler and then save it with a new name for use as a morph.  Then you have to load the morph into the original prop in poser.

I'd almost want to suggest reinstalling poser at this point...

Depends if what's happening is affecting your final renders.

Your 4 vicki categories should be:

1. Slutty

2. Sluttier

3. Sluttiest

4. Misc

A small admission that's bugging me.  I really was open to the possibilty of win 8 even if my feelings were against it.  If there was a big enough boost in preformance I might have changed my mind.  It just seems like in the time since I've posted, I'm learning more and more about the future of windows and I'm not sure I like it.

I've even toyed with the thought of going linux.  Seriously.  :O

Anyways, I didn't mean to go this way when I started this so I want to say sorry.  I'm glad I know more now, but things got away from me.

You know, that looks like it could be mostly done with simple primitives.

cache instead of cash, intentional pun or freaudian slip?  ;P

Well, I can see it coming down to this: ego and timing.  Ego would be MS saying we are going with metro no matter what, everyone else will just have to get used to it.  Then there's timing.  DOS didn't go away in win 3.1.  It didn't go away in Win 95.  Nor in 98.  You could still run DOS through XP.  After that, no more DOS.  The only thing I see happening this time is instead of multiple iterations to get rid of the DOS, it'll be 2 or 3.  This one is the introduction and getting people used to the app store.  Next time, there will be a big push for the MS app store (and like XBox, certification will cost money).  For Win 10 at the latest, it'll be your only option.

See, now windows is going to have the tools to enforce certification.  And people are used to it because of the iStore and Sony.  This is the best time (new interface) to start pushing forced certification on developers.  You want to have your app on the WinTab?  Ok, get certified and only sell it in our store.

Want to isn't going to be a part of using the store.  Required to in order to be on windows will be.  As for office and server, those will probably be WinStore only for Win 9, if not Win 8.

Here's the thing, MS is nasty about protecting it's stuff.  My PC recently crashed.  Recovery disks (to fix things) cost more money because of MS's license agreements.  You can only make one set on your PC because of licensing agreements.   Oh, and now MS is trying to automate spying on you in your home.  You don't get a patent like that unless you plan to either make money on it or to use it.

I really think MS is going to try and do away with the whole open platform thing, in part of Apple's successes and in part of their own Xbox experiences.
