Quote - Beautiful. Problem solved. :)
So, as a general rule, unless otherwise mentioned by content documentation, should Python scripts always be put in the main Poser Runtime?
I generally do, but I just looked at my Vascularity installation and it's located in my external "V4" runtime and it runs fine. :? Where I store my purchases, I have the Vascularity files unzipped, so I must have been aware of something and felt the need to look through the installation files and folders before I copied them to the runtime.
All I've done is realise that I will have a nightmare if I have to re-install everything...scripts and files floating about everywhere :/

Thread: Why is the dusty, dry mannequin renders so popular? | Forum: Poser - OFFICIAL
Yer, I've noticed that some textures are looking a bit pasty...I have one up in the gallery just like that. I've also noticed that I am getting far better results by applying EZSkin to textures that are non SSS based...usually textures I purchased or created years ago, when the only option was shaded or non shaded mats.
I purchased the Oxygen and Vanilla Sky SSS based textures over at RDNA. There is no doubt they are great textures and they used EZSkin to get the SSS nodes in the textures, but can I get them looking good...nooo! Very pasty looking. I have no regrets in purchasing the products, and with SSS so much depends on lighting, but generally purchased SSS skin based textures have been far too pasty for my liking...whiping out much of the skin detail :/

Thread: OT- Photoshop to go cloud only | Forum: Poser - OFFICIAL
Quote - I see people say that they would rather trust themselves with their own data, and rightly so, but how many of those same people make regular backups of their data and store it in a totally seperate location. God forbid, but if your house went up in flames, or your computer stolen, would your data be safe? For many, I bet not. The concern is touching, but I'm not charmed by this trend to force people into the cloud, even if it's "for their own good."
Do you or your family use Facebook? Facebook and Facebook's use of personal data offends me more than any government agency, or Adobe's new licensing system. How many times has the horse bolted on Facebook's use of data, before the gate has begrudgingly (sp) been closed! Yet, I'm astounded at the amount of info, personal info, people are willing to give to Facebook and the world in general. Facebook must be one of the worlds largest clouds of personal info, ever....even bigger than that government HDD collecting all that Text, e-mail and phone call data :P
Yet people will carry on using it (Facebook) giving all kinds of info, without batting an eyelid, but kick up a stink at a new licensing system.
People need to realise "cloud" is a buzz word - in Adobe's case its a licensing server (nothing new there, license servers have been around for decades). When I re-download a purchase from Apple, they are telling me I'm downloading from the "Cloud"...no I'm effing not! It's the same storage server I've been downloading from for the past decade ffs!
(Scenario) Hey, SM could say you have to download the new Poser from their Cloud of data. That "Cloud" of data will hold all your purchase history and a record of all the data you have downloaded from them from SM and CP. "OMG! SM are using my data IN...A......CLOUD!! How dare they!!!" Ermm, what I just described is exactly what SM do now via their web server...
Clouds have been around, nearly as long as the internet...they just wasn't called "clouds". "Clouds" aren't a new invention, it's just a buzz word to encompass different kinds of storage.

Thread: OT- Photoshop to go cloud only | Forum: Poser - OFFICIAL
Cloud servers are usually servers in multiple locations with multiple levels of redundancy. If the power goes down on one location, or there is hardware failure, fire, etc then a back up will kick in at a different location...it could be a different building miles away or the other side of the world.
I see people say that they would rather trust themselves with their own data, and rightly so, but how many of those same people make regular backups of their data and store it in a totally seperate location. God forbid, but if your house went up in flames, or your computer stolen, would your data be safe? For many, I bet not.
I remember years ago when there was uproar, when it seemed Poser was going the "phone-home" route for licensing, at a time when Poser was being hit heavily by the warez trade. At the time I found it ironic, that the very same people who jumped on Curious Labs about "phoning home" and protecting their assets, also were in uproar when a site was found using their art work without permission and all matter of discussion about how to protect their artwork ensued. As I say, the irony of it!
If Adobe have found a system that protects their assets better than the current one, and gives the user good value for money at the same time, then good for them!! I can understand if it's a system you can't agree with, but I also understand a company wanting to protect their product.
BTW, I'm no Adobe fanboi, I actually despise companies that have a monoply on our trade, but unlike Autodesk, who have just bought out all competition over the years (grrrrrr!), Adobe's dominance is caused by the fact that nobody has come up with something better....ok they bought out Macromedia and a few other small companies, but as far as Photoshop etc...Gimp? Really?...and anything from Coral...hmmmm, not the best company I have had the pleasure to deal with in the past.

Thread: CHECK THIS OUT !!!!!!!!!!!!!! | Forum: Poser - OFFICIAL
THIS MUST BE THE WORST UPDATE IN SOFTWARE HISTORY...EVER!! DOES SM THINK I WILL BE WASTING MY HARD EARNED CASH ON THIS PILE OF DOG DO-DO! I MEAN, C'MON.....HAHA! I'M JOKING!
This seams a pretty thorough update...congrats to all the developers involved. My only wish, is that they would finally sort out the accurate rendering of caustics and refraction in Firefly. I'm a little flumoxed as to why a run of the mill rendering feature is causing them so many problems for so many years.
I would certainly buy this in an instance, but alas, most of my rendering is done in Vue Infinite, and until I upgrade to a newer Vue with the newer Poser SDK, it's hard to warrant an immediate upgrade to Poser...but then again, don''t underestimate the power of a new toy :P
Bullet Physics is cool.
Adding accurate physics to Poser Hair? - hmmmm, I suspect the hair itself will still look crap! lol!
Jangling boobies should be on the SM feature list page!!!!!!!
Fitting Room features look awesome!
Magnet and Deformer weight map support - looks good, but never have got on well with magnets...I always felt like I was juggling 10 things with one hand all at once with magnets. Trying to get what I wanted, just ended up in a big frustrating mess. Best feature for me was the ability to delete magnets! ;)
Morph Brush Improvements - GREAT! I love the morph brush, so any improvement is good news!
Still no "Make Great Art" button!!!!! Tossers...they need to fire whoever is responsible!

Quote - As far as the "ebil gubment" tracking the net and our email, I send everything to the trash as soon as I've read or answered it, and regularly empty the trash.
*If you follow the news you should know that every message electronically sent is stored by the NSA. Every phone call, every e-mal, every text. The cloud will be a happy hunting grounds for those who seek to monitor everything.
In all honesty that is scare mongery tainted with conspiracy theory...you shouldn't believe everything you see on the news. The news media will pick up on the smallest thing and blow it up to make headlines.
Besides, I take a different view: if you're doing nothing wrong, then you have nothing to worry about.
Of course, you may want to live in a world with no terrorism, child molestation, religous fundementalism etc, but we don't. I don't think you realise just how many lives have been saved from authorities checking and intercepting data exchanges through the internet, mobile devices etc, that have halted terrosim attacks.
You must remember, people can not be trusted with absolute freedom to do what they want. You want the freedom to say what you want in every phone call, text or e-mail, without it being checked? Well it's that kind of freedom with US gun laws that allows it to arm totally unstable people, so that they can go on shooting rampages.
Freedom to do what ever you want, isn't the Utopia many people think it is.

Thread: Difference between 11 and 11.5 | Forum: Vue
I was actually glad I didn't purchase a maintenance program with Vue 11. When I read what was included in the .5 release notes I was disappointed. OK, buying a full release may run me $100 more a year, but who is to say I will upgrade to the next full version?
The most exciting thing coming from e-on is Plant Factory at the moment...a shame because this is what Vue users have been asking to be incorperated into Vue since Version 3 and 4! The best upgrade e-on offer, is probably yet another piece of seperate software and not included in Vue :/

Thread: Is it necessary to own EVERY version of Poser? | Forum: Poser - OFFICIAL
The preview renderer, looks like something from Vue's preview window, or the active preview window I have setup with Luxrender in Blender. Actually, Modo has one as well. They are handy to have, but they never negate or limit the use of test renders. The one in Vue, I almost ignore, and in Blender my use of Luxrender is limited as I'm mostly doing animations.

See... like a survival nut, I’ve already BEEN migrating. I use GIMP 80% of the time now. Inkscape about 75%, and Blender has become my tool of choice to the point where I don’t even have my other 3D apps loaded at the moment.
I don't use Blender because it's free, I use it because it is a kick-ass tool!! An upgrade cycle to dream for, huge support, feature rich, stable and, at long, last a GUI that doesn't drive you insane and IS user friendly.

Quote - ...Which is why Texas and Virginia have both passed measures prohibiting the general public from using them.
~Shane
Living in Texas, I wouldn't put any weight behind any state laws it passes. lol! I "lol", but I am actually serious on that point.
I for one, understand peoples opposition to "cloud services"...when it comes to the crunch, I would much prefer to have a physical copy with a non "phone-home" licensing system. At least if a developer went belly-up, I could still use the software...but! - I still think a subscription is a great idea! The cost of the Photoshop subscription is within the means of many, that would otherwise not be able to afford the software.
Considering this is the Poser forum, I would wager that, the cost of a Photoshop subscription is peanuts compared to the amount many spend on content and add-ons.

Thread: Poser10 vs Poser Pro 2014 | Forum: Poser - OFFICIAL
I can't believe that Poser 10 is still only 32bit...64bit is now the norm. When will SM realise they are treating 64bit access like champagne, when really it's just coffee. Not that it worries me...I use the Pro version anyway, but their attitude does seem like it's stuck in the last decade as far as 32/64bit is concerned.

Quote - You're still basically renting to own software you never actually own.
Man, you need to read the EULA of your software - you only ever are buying the license to use the software...even your Poser software isn't your's. You just paid SM to use it within their guidelines: it is still their software and you don't own it. This goes for the majority of commercial software.
I like the the subscription model Adobe are offering. It makes an expensive software affordable to many who couldn't afford it before...for many like myself (still using CS4), I found it overpriced in general and begrugged having to buy it, but looking at the prices with the subscription model...it's tempting. I'm not sure this model will work for all software, but it makes expensive software usage easier to swallow.

I thought this was one of the reasons that beta testers were used - so that a developer can test a product without worrying about having every conceivable variation of software or hardware.
