And here I was thinking they only became available once again on select Rendo sale periods where they let you buy discontinued items.

I suppose it could work, but I see such a system being a disaster under various applications.

I was wondering about that myself, and I hail from no Romance-language country.

Left foot cam and right foot cam.

That'd be more useful than the right hand cam and left hand cam - not saying they're not useful, but I spend more time trying to make sure the feet don't clip the floor/ground than I do hands with whatever.

Anyway back on topic: content paradise is actually dead.

More of mercy killing IMHO.

Wow. I wonder how this will effect the DS content makers here?

The last few times I bought something from there was when I got the $5 birthday voucher.

I don't see it doing too much for/to the DS-exclusive people TBQH. I'd guess that it will just be business as normal around here. I think the RDNA-DAZ deal had more of an impact, both here and there.

It might be time for a driver update too IDK. I've had some funny stuff happen in Poser when a GPU driver acted funny.

Are these currently active producers or does this include those who used to produce Poser content but moved on?

Remember the "photo" doing the rounds a few years back? That managed to beat some aspects of the Uncanny Valley in a counterintuitive way, by making an image that looked like a badly lit, amateur photo. Caused a bit of a stir, IIRC.

My biggest gripe with CG in movies is the figures and objects often don't seem to have any - or enough - mass. Over here we had the Walking With Dinosaurs series, and, as I was working in a building full of CG professionals, there were no end of debates, discussions and whatnot about how bad it was. Even someone with the most rudimentary understanding of CG and animation could spot how shoddy it looked.

Then there are the "all done with traditional animation", or "it's all for real" things that get wheeled out now and again. Remember the Honda one someone showed here? Everyone noticed the ball accelerating uphill. Nobody in the production department ever seems to pick up on these things, though.

I have a feeling the Uncanny Valley is something that can be overcome, at least some of the time, but quite often animators and artists make a rudimentary mistake which makes the whole thing roll over.

And there's also the uncanny valley of consumables. I have yet to see CGI food that I would want to eat.

I think one day we'll get across the Uncanny Valley entirely, but I think we're still a few tech levels away from doing so.

I call them 'Hostage Sales'. Occasionally a sale may have a few things that I want/need, but oft times, nah. Don't spend there as much as I used to.

I'd be curious to know how effective they are. I think only once or twice have I bought a New Release just to take advantage of a sale item I wanted/needed.

One advantage of a place like this is that you do end up saving some money (or getting some of it back) when you spend past a certain amount and qualify for a gift certificate.

That aside (and a bit closer to the original topic), it can get irritating when you see something in the promos and have no idea what it is let alone where it's at.

I remember one time when I was going on a flight and I recognized the figures used in the flight safety pamphlet (Poser native figures like Simon and Sydney, figures I don't use anymore).

And I chuckled to myself knowing that I've seen them naked...

Another thing I'd like to point out is that while people may have a thousand selfies and other photographs stored on their PC, I have a thousand renders stored in My Pictures...

Render to Exact Resolution is how I get my Poser-made desktop backgrounds.

Has anyone done any memoriam renders?

Uniforms can (from my experience) be somewhat hard to find. Especially when you're trying to find something reasonably accurate.

Her family has my condolences. I got plenty of mileage (still do) out of her stuff.

Do you find this problem to be worse or better with male figures?
