See my tutorial on IK and hands at DAZ Arcana.

I recall DL-ing a Mt Fuji mesh a long time ago, not sure if it was obj or 3ds, but it did open in Poser 3 or 4. I think it was at 3DCafe, which no longer seems to have the collection of freebies available. I lost my copy in a crash a while back.

They offer no instant gratification, but the service and products are good. I got the produce packs which were received within a few days in USA. Perhpas the CD method keeps costs down.

Not sure but I think it is limited to 32. Definitely not 64.

Gray is for a warm gray. Grey is for a cool or neutral grey.

DAZ has an astronaut suit in the Plat Club and I think Content Paradise has one, too. As to how close they are to 2001 style... I dunno.

I tried the turn off external morph thing. After adding some new hair (radiant jaguar) and saving the file size went from 7.5 mb to 61.5!! So that is not the best solution. After turning the morph thing back to On, and resaving, the pz3 file went back down to 7.5, so I don't think the hair made a difference. What gives?

I have had the same prob with P6, files not reopening. I have now reset my Misc. Preferences to turn off External Morph Targets, tho have not tested this yet. So that's what the PMD files are... a "save" of morph targets? I've been wondering. But why would that cause a file not to re-open? What is the conflict?

Thanx everybody. Got TG's bag.

I should mention that the majorette is wearing the Ring Mistress outfit by PhilC with the RDNA shako on her head. The instruments shown in the image are referred to above.

I can't see much reason for making most instruments poseable. Posing pegs and strings is probably not a likely use. In an animation for example, one could not see the peg turning if fingers/hand obscured it. The PP trumpet has poseable valves, perhaps useful. The DAZ trombone has a moving slide, an essential for that instrument. Most of the bagpipes I found were very hard to pose, some broke up in posing. Pipes would be a hard one to make poseable, I'd love to see a really good one with bag morphs and pipe movement. Piano keys that go up and down? Maybe a little too detailed for some use, but for a player piano that would be cool, especially for an animation. A lot of work I'd guess to do tho. There are lotsa string instruments to be found, but woodwinds are very rare. There is a good flute at RO I think listed above. Poseable keys on wood winds would be hardly noticed in any render with fingers covring them. Here are some missing instruments... Cello (the one in the pose set is the scaled down bass) Tuba and Sousaphone (the Sousa at PP will not fit Poser people correctly) Bagpipes that are accurate and work. Tympani Cornet Classic Pipe Organ and tho there are may free instuments, many of them are not of the best rendering quality, so improvements are always needed.

Following is a pasted list of the instrument source guide included with my Millennium Musican poses. Altho there are other models available, I used the ones I considered most pose-able and presentable, as well as available. Some of the ones in the list are only available with the pose set. The items marked with an asterisk * are available free. The others are commercial. If you find any other good ones, lemme know.
