Check www.metastream.com for more than you'll ever need to know about metastream. The VRML thing must be a miscommunication between the people who make the program and the people who make the manual.

I'm walking through target today and see a squirt gun in summer clearance that has poser people on it. The casual man figure does get some use after all! A couple months ago there was a local real estate comercial i saw using Poser figures in (what i believe was) 3DS Max. Weird world.

Look at the RuntimeGeometriesRSnake folder and delete the rsr file. Load the figure and it will create a new rsr and work fine.

I've had the nude female DGT done for a while now, need to get the time to make the others. She'll be available on my upcoming CD.

Did you check 'Apply changes to entire figure'? Remember, Poser 4 now supports having individual maps for each different material.

Thanks for your input, everybody. They're now up on the funstuff pages.

Couple things i forgot to mention: Incredible texture on the woman by Anton Kisiel. The man is wearing the conforming socks, the woman has on the conforming boots. The clothing is not incorporated into the figure.

trueSpace 4 is an excellent piece of software for Poser. It has very good deformation (morph) tools. It contains advanced UV Mapping tools and has some freeware plugins that can do even more for it's UV capability (think having UV Mapper built into the program along with mesh unwrapping capabilities). The renders are very nice (look through the galleries) and support radiosity rendering. There is great potential for the materials (which i have only looked it briefly) as well as support for Layered Texturing. It has many organic modeling tools (such as PlastiForum and MetaBalls) along with NURBS support and Bones. It supports many file formats for import and export and can also save VRML 2.0 files and be used as a web browser for VRML pages. It does lack an OBJ file export (it has an import for OBJ) but there's an excellent utility on the Funstuff pages called Compose that converts COB (tS) to OBJ and vica versa. It's worth checking out at http://www.caligari.com There is a demo available.

Sorry, i should go into more detail on the 'invert'. In the menu where you load the image maps, there are 3 circular buttons at the top right of each picture. The half-black, half-white button [invert button] will invert the image (make black white and white black). This button comes in handy for Poser transperancy maps. (If you already knew what i was refferring to, ignore, but i'm sure there are at least a few people who didn't know what i was talking about)

You can't see catwoman in 3D w/o the superheroine. Look at the pics of her on the site and look at pics of the super heroine figure at the Zygote Store. Make your decision carefully, and remember, there are other catwoman figures out there and many alternative figures to use other than the superheroine figure if it would be too expensive (for instance, you could point the library files to the Poser 4 nude woman figure if you wanted to load the figure to see all the props it comes with. This may mess up texture mapping, but you could cut and paste portions of the map onto the P4 woman template.)

Oh yeah, and welcome to the forum :-)

Nope, no way to block reflection. One possible method would be rendering the scene from the angle of the water without the Poser Figure showing, and then naming this as the water's texture map. Might work. You could also render one version with figure and one scene without and blend them together in post production.

Nice pants. Objaction will cover all OBJ files, not just morph targets. I would say encode it with the catsuit being the seed file (since that is the majority of the figure) and you should be okay. Posting the raw OBJ file would be a violation of copyright. How well does the stitch-together method work for clothing? It seems like that would cause conforming problems.

Invert the transperancy map. Poser uses black as transperant, white as solid; and Bryce does just the opposite. The br3 file you should use the open command for. It's a Bryce 3 scene file.

Try increasing Fog and haze to add depth. There's a very nice article on this in the September issue of 3D Artist (sells for around $5) about adding depth and distance effects in Bryce.
