Wow!

I use best video downloader on firefox here. Its saves a numbe rof formats as well. I've bene using it now for at least 2 years, maybe up to 4.

You can check gbfans.com for reference of the actual gear.

We actually have uniforms and gear in real life for costumed events.

So in other words, Mahakali, you don't want to pay people properly for their work.

Thats exactly why the rights to 3d printing were removed from the various site's Eulas.

If someone has to take a week to make a 3d printable conversion for you possible, what is that time worth to you? How much do you think they should make for a week's working wages? At even only a walmart wage of $10 an hour, thats $400.

I'd be interested to see what you think a week's worth of work is actually worth to you.

(And the "they can make it up in volume sales" justification can't be used, because there are VERY few people intestested in high costly 3d printing.)

And you are seeing it years after content creators already fought the battle to retain the copyright to their creations.

The real issue is money though. If content creators were rolling in huge piles of cash, they wouldn't care about 3d printed use, but the fact of the matter is only 10% of the content creators out there make enough to do it full time for a living.

I'm sure if you approached them with a reasonable amount for the right to digitally print thier copyrighted items, they would be happy to oblige, but th efact of the matter is poser content is grossly underpriced for the work involved in it's creation.

Example: The going rate for modelling a 3d statue for reproduction is between $1000 and $4000, depending on detail level and final sculpt size.

Tell me which poser content user is ready to pay that amount for reproduction rights? (And keep in mind, you need to buy the rights for everything you want to use in your print.. the figure, props, clothing, ect.

AND you also need to have them adapt is so it can be actually be 3d printed, which could be weeks of work.

This has been discussed MANY times in the last few years over and over again.

If you want to make 3d prints of items, learn to make them.

^ What he said.

Mike, there's nothing wrong with something you created 100%. But if you used any content you bought in addition to the base included poser content, then you actually did not in fact, create it yourself. You used someone else's work to create your image.

You don't actually create most things with poser. You use content created by someone else, and reproduce it posed and arranged.

Here's the problem:

We'll take my warcow, my original character I did.

You purchase it to create 2d renderings or animation of it.

Now someone gets clever, and decided its ALL the rage, and they can make a bundle off making toys of him. So they create a 3d print, and then send that off to mass produce thousands of them, and sell them themselves.

He becomes one of those pop culture things, and the demand skyrockets, and they end up selling millions of them.

I look at my sales of him, and in three years, I've never even made minimum wage in the developement time off him, but others are making millions. And I do not get one red cent at all for the millions being sold.

See the issue now? Creators own the actual copyright on thier own creations, not the end users. Its no different than an author licensing his original work to create a movie. They get paid for the movie, but if someone wants to spin that off into a tv series, or do followup movies, they must negotiate a new licensing deal.

Pose alone does not actually create anything. You use either the included content to create, or you purchase someone elses creativity.

Daz was going to work with a 3d print company to allow reproduction, but when they looked at how much end users would have to pay for the licensing, and how much work is involved actually converting content to actually work with 3d printer hardware, they abandoned the idea, and adjusted the end user agreement to disallow 3d printing as unfair use.

In the case of Daz content, 9 times out of 10 daz itself does not own the copyright, its the Participating Artist who does.

And 3d printing is used all the time now for art statue and toy manufacturing. Most small licensed statues now are done in mudbox or zbrush, and the master print is 3d printed from digital creations.

Its not so much what one individual would do with a 3d print.. its the potential for copyright abuse of a 3d printed object. Thats why it is not considere fair use.

Have you turned on hardware ao, and also enhance multilayer transparency?

Looks like the forum links and download link there are busted.

Why not look for the information in the proper places. You know there are dedicated 3dsmax forums out there, right?

When I need lightwave information, I look in newtek's lightwave forums, not here.

(And no, I have no idea what the differences are in max, BUT I'll bet with google and 10 minutes, I'd have an answer for you, even though I don't use the program.)

Why you waste your time asking about information thats always readily available out there is beyond me. And then, when people give you the best advise, you insult them!

"God helps those who helps themselves" comes to mind.

He kind of reminds me of a young Walter Bishop from Fringe.

Luv me sum freebie wm figure goodness!

Very nice!

Nice job! And Chrome loaded SO much faster than explorer, and didn't have the decryption error, it makes me wonder if there's some behind the scenes browser shenannigans going on.

While its interesting as a toy version, there are very accurate versions already available in various 3d free model locations.

Theres a current thread elsewhere here about the B9. looks for a thread with "robby" in the title from a week or two ago.
