Quote - what's Face Putty?

It's one of the tools in the Poser Toolbox that you can get from PhilC.

Quote - Just one more question.What do you mean by typing phonetically? Cheers

As words do not always sound the way they are spelt, you sometimes have to alter the spelling so that text to speech or the shape of the mouth look correct when you are animating them.

A good way to get the phonetic spelling/pronunciation of a word is to look in the dictionary. Most software will recognise commonly used words but can have trouble with names and less commonly used words.

I think the phrase "Digital Hybrid" just means that there are installers etc included for PC and Mac.

I have the physical copy, which is one disk for pc and one for mac. It has "Retail Hybrid" written above the sticker with all of the serial numbers on it.

At least after reading through some of the Fasttspring stuff I don't have to worry about credit card charging for converting from dollars to sterling. So looks like it will just be shipping, import duty and collection commision to pay.

VAT in the UK hasn't been 17.5% for a least well over a year. It went down a bit for a while to encourage people to spend, but then went up to 20%.

I ordered the physical upgrade from 2012 as my broadband tends to timeout with very large files.

Cost me £143.96 a bit more than I was expecting, but there was no tax added. I assume that import duty etc will be added when they deliver it to me.

Quote - Another feature which has not been mentioned (I think) is the addition of weight maps to magnets. What it does is let you define the area and how much of it is affected by magnets.

Here you can see how you can lift the hem of a skirt (had to think of an example). Just by painting on it you get immediate feedback on how the magnets affect the cloth. The zone is used to identify the origin of the magnet

 

 

Will this work with existing saved magnet sets (create weight maps for my old sets) or just one new ones that are created in pp2014?

If the camera and the cube don't move there is a way of "projection mapping" the background image onto the cube

Cool, thanks will take a look

What about a castle interior similar to the haunted house one.

You could have a dungeon in one quarter, a mad scientists lab in the second, a crypt with a coffin in the third and a spooky old dining room with cobwebs and dust over the furniture in the fourth. The central bit where you had the chimney before could be a castle turret with lightning conductor on it

Could very well be, however I renamed my sr3 install. Installed the original pp2012 then sr2. Loading the same figures from the same external runtime as before they loaded perfectly. So ok there maybe a corrupt or mesh issue, and I'm not a coding wizard, sr3 may not have caused but it aggravated it. I said it only happened when I loaded it from the librarary and not when it was saved in a pre-existing pz3 file. Picture of sr2 load above. Will keep both sr's on hard drive for now.

I keep getting that as well but it's just a long name with no file suffix on the ensand when I go to save it, nothing happens can anyone help?  

Ok, just tried again. This time got a SmithMicro page saying that Poser sr3 was not available. I think I should get suppost. Remember the good old days when you could just download updates from your account page? :)  ...

GRRR! And now the support link that they gave in the email is down. Updating the website etc just before a big software update, probably not a great idea. Will wait till tomorrow and try again.

Well after waiting a day and still no luck with either the file link or the customer service link provided in the email, I decided to just go to content paradise, add the update to my cart there. No problems at all, file downloaded in 5 minutes :) SM I'd ditch the middle men if I were you ;)

If you can convert one from blender, then just type in "blender 3d 20th century fox logo" into google. There are quite a few, also some of the youtube videos have links to various blender models of it.
