Hey everyone, I'm posting this here because it is relevant to this thread. It is also relevant to several other threads in the Bryce forum.
Want to learn all you can about Bryce 7? As soon as possible, look for and download this Adobe Reader PDF, the "Bryce 7 Artist's Guide! I found it and downloaded it and have been perusing its pages. I learned a lot already that I have not seen anywhere else on the internet or in any written publication. I think everybody who uses Bryce should get this Guide. While it is for the current version of Bryce, there is a lot in it that I'm sure will help with some of the earlier versions as well. And If you find that you want what is available in Bryce 7 only, the Pro version of 7 is free until August, if my memory serves me correctly. I have it and really love it.
Unfortunately the DAZ 3D site is down for maintenance right now, but when it comes back up, you would be doing yourself a favor to get this PDF. It goes into deep detail about the software, and reveals little known details. (Sorry that I don't know the link so that I can post it here yet, but I'll provide it in the next message I post here.)
Thread: Looks like DAZ Shut the Forum Down Early... | Forum: Poser - OFFICIAL
Quote - I am going to ask, nicely, one more time, that the criticisms of Daz end right here.
If you have a problem and you think another user can help you, post it.
If you simply dislike Daz because of the path they have chosen to take with their business, please post it over there in one of their forums. Such posts accomplish nothing here and reflect poorly both on the poster, and on Renderosity.
I agree. Although I,m currently not happy with the situation at DAZ 3D, I understand that there are many bugs that they need to fix, and they are hard at work addressing those problems. As things are at the moment of this quote, the website is down for maintenance. Access is unavailable to any part of it. I think this is good because it shows they are serious about getting things fixed, and have decided to shut down so that they won't be distracted by user and customer contact. This will allow them to concentrate on the issues at hand. I'm sure that most of the problems will be solved when they bring the site back up.

If they are already paid for, you should not have any problems. If you do, contact them and inform them of the problem and I'm sure they will do their best to solve it.

Perhaps they still have a few bugs to work out of the system. I haven't had any problems in the last couple of days. As an example of how well some of it is working now, I went to the support/help desk and put in a request for help with a product not installing just this morning. Already, I have recieved a response with two options for what to do. Now it seems to me that this is much faster than what I've experienced in the past with this feature.
On the other hand, I found that over $200 worth of merchadise was added to my cart without my authority; but after logging into my account, that disappeared. I don't know what the cause of this is, but it definitely needs to be fixed before it hurts somebody's financial status.
As for your problem, I hope you can get it taken care of soon.
Thread: Looks like DAZ Shut the Forum Down Early... | Forum: Poser - OFFICIAL
It seems that things are finally getting fixed. I created a new thread in one of the forums and have been recieving a few hits. Also the Help desk is back up and running as before. At least something is still the same.

Quote - Oh,sorry, Agent0013 - I didn't see your last post before mine till just now! I think I had the page up awhile before clicking reply and as a result I didn't get a notification there were new posts till now.
It's really not complicated once you know where to click :)
The page I gave you has a link that says "Jump to Apollo Free Download Links", which leads you to the actual download page
http://www.antonkisieldesigns.com/~akfiles/htmlpages/ApolloMaximusFree3dhumanfigure.htm#Downloads%20links
Download all of the 7 parts that are the yellowed links - It will open up links at divshare - and be sure to note the password that is required to open the files. (it's written above the yellowed links)
To the side of the yellowed links and below them are a lot of the available freebies that can also be downloaded.
Have fun!!
Thanks Alisa. I'll try your suggestions as soon as I can get a good Internet connection going.
All of you posting here are a big help to me and I am most grateful.

Quote - > Quote - I went to the recommended site for the Apollo Maximus free downloads, but was unable to find a download button for the figure itself. There are required three read-me downloads and three clothing and accessories downloads. Maybe one of those 6 files has the actual figure included, but I cannot be sure of this. Why download all the supporting files without the actual file they support? Something else I noticed was that the site seems to jump me back and forth between pages when I click on what I think will lead me to the actual download. It's frustrating to be sent back to the same page over and over again. It reminds me of those notorious automated phone services.
Perhaps one of you or more knows what I need to do? Please let me know. I'm confused about this.
Hmm, let's see... Well, there are some kind of webring-related text links near the top of that page that look like they ought to be download links, but they're not. Those do some annoying page-bouncing. The good stuff is about two-thirds of the way down the page-- big yellow bars, just before the thumbnailed links. Sounds like you found those. Also, just above them, in maroon text, is the password for the encrypted zip files.
Aha! The little underlined read me links just get you previews of the readme docs included in each zip. You want the big bold-face links to the zips. The first three "Part 1" through "Part 3" ones are indeed links to the base figure. The remaining four zips are for clothing and Anton's clever "movie makeup appliances," as the labels suggest. Also, save a copy of the fourth line's ReadMe html page, which never made it into zipped-up documentation. You'll need to refer to that occasionally.
Just tried a test of one of the links. It sets a bunch of cookies (one hopes, DivShare related), then stops at a page with a big green Download button. Click that, get a 15-second countdown. Then, finally, the download starts. Not hyper-fast this morning, but sufficient. Looks like it's the same size zip file as the one I downloaded last year, and it seems to unpack okay.
One side note on dealing with a conforming clothing glitch in Apollo's genital area... Anton gives a gudeline for this in the (fourth) Readme page: rotating that group in the pants figure outward by 15 to 20 degrees. However, when using DAZ Studio, I found that sometimes a larger rotation was required to smooth out the glitch, depending on the pose. So be prepared to turn rotation limits off and experiment.
hope this helps
Alan
Seems a bit involved, but I think I can do it; if my internet connection will stop pooping off on me. I'm using free WiFi and it sometimes stops working right in the middle of downloading.
Anyways, Thanks for all your help. I'm pretty sure it will help.

Quote - Beautiful stealty looking model.
I have a question about "collapsing" a booleaned object. It may be relavant to Agent0013's question. If various parts of a booleaned group has different mats applied. Will the mats remain when the mesh is collapsed?
This is a legitimate question. I would definitely like to know the answer to that one as well.
Thanks for the compliment, this model was done using a symmetric lattice onto which I imposed a template that I created in MSO PowerPoint. I then used the Deep Terrain Editor to add details to the lattices. After that I added a black texture with high specularity and reflectivity. The Refraction setting is at 153 (glass). If you would like more details concerning how to do something like this, let me know. I'll create a tutorial and upload it to Renderosity.
I'm passing along this information in case anybody wants to try this. I would appreciate a look at any renders you make using this kind of thing.

Keep the advice coming. I wish to learn all I can.
I'm attaching a small file of one of my renders for your viewing pleasure. I hope you like it. Tell me what you think.
Thread: Apollo Maximus Compatibility | Forum: DAZ|Studio
Quote - > Quote - Apollo was a major achievement when he first arrived but is now obsolete. If you have Genesis use Genesis. There is a lot more stuff for the Michael 3 and 4 and David 3 (D3 and M3 require addition genepool packages that have to be bought) that can be used with Genesis through Auto-Fit (although Auto-fit seems to be broken in the latest Studio version 4.5).
I TOTALLY disagree about him being obsolete unless the only character you think is NOT obsolete is Genesis. I LOVE and use Genesis. But Apollo still stands as an excellent character, and he's FREE, so why not use him?? Above is one of my renders with him - doesn't feel obsolete to me!
I bought him back when he was a pay for figure, and still think he's fabulous.
Here's a female body morph for him:

As for clothing, Poserworld has lots for him if you're a member there
http://poserworld.com/Downloads/Apollo.aspx
and PhilC has a Wardrobe Wizard plugin for him as part of Expansion pack 5 here

This is a great piece, reminescent of Ali when he was "The Greatest". Very well done. Thanks for this viewing.
Thread: Apollo Maximus Compatibility | Forum: DAZ|Studio
My problem is not that there are good character bases at DAZ Studio. It is that free clothing for those figures is scarce or hard to find, and some of what I have found works poorly or not at all.
I do not have funding to buy very much, and so I must look for free stuff that works with what I have. Therefore, if I can acquire a figure base that also has a lot of free clothing and accessories that work with it, that is good for me. The Apollo Maximus figure is such a character base.
Thanks for your post, concerning other character bases. I do plan to acquire them as soon as I can.

Thread: Apollo Maximus Compatibility | Forum: DAZ|Studio
Thanks for all the responses, folks. This helps me a lot. As of yet, I only have 4 character bases other than the Genesis one that comes with DAZ Studio 4, and Michael 4 is the only one that is male. I can get morphs to turn Victoria 3 and 4 into guys but I think it would be better to have actual male character bases that I don't have to morph into the male form. Also, the Apollo Maximus base has some really cool morphs that will be great for some of my works. Again, I really appreciate the responses to this request.
