Congratulations to the winners! Congratulations to all participates. It was a very good contest with a lot of fantastic entries. Thanks for SVDL to make this challenge possible. Best wishes Poserkatz

I agree with Engel47. And it shows me, the judges takes their job very seriously. Therefore, it is easy to me to be patient. :-)

Thanks a lot. Looks wonderful.

I think, before or on October, 8th, there will be placing the results. Where? I hope, here in this forum.

Hi, "geralday" has a spider with web for Poser. Klick on any download for him, it's a site link, and than you have to scroll down his freebies (there is no directlink to a special file). But it's not bad, perhaps you'll find another great items on his side. I like his stuff, very less kilobytes.

ok, SamTherapy, you're right: I should have to say: Some buying poses... but most of the freebies are not suitable to me, truly.

Oh, that would be fine, but i never heard this before. I fear, that's not able for a long time to load textures from within a zip-file.

Most of the "free or buying poses" are not good for my work, because they have active morph channels, so applying a pose like e.g. sitting effects the face-expression (that's make me angry, if i'd worked out an expression before). I mostly (about 90%) work out my poses by myself from the zero-basis of a figure. Rarely i'm using a poseset - if it is not correctly done, it is impossible to fix. From zerobasis it is faster and more secure for me, to get the results, i've wanted.

Hi, I've done it. And in most cases it's okay. In my opinion, there is no slowdown-effect when loading a file. The compressionrate is varity (about 60-80% for the most files). But some items are not suitable for this. You have to try it. I load in, than save back with comressing, than i load in the comressed and testing, if it is okay. Sometimes, files have errors (e.g. Free MouseMobile, it has whispers, and my Poser can't load all whispers correct, if the files is compressed, I don't know why). It is a little bit work on testing it, but i can save about 5 or 6 x items in runtime, therefore, the compressing is helpfull for me. One disadvantage of the compressed files is, that you can't them open with a text-Editor. But that's a minor. I activate the compress-option often (also for scene-files). Regards

Great contest. Congratulations to the absolutely winner Annimation, and to weezie, good luck to SophiaDeer and StageRose. It was my first contest and so I'm very happy about my 2nd place. It was thrilling and i'm curious about the next theme. Regards Poserkatz

I think, it's in the section "alchemy" of the link above. There are more items like a roll, pergament and so on.

If poser starts for looking to a texture, when you apply a lightset (.lt2), it is possible, that the lightset is a MAT-File! Some people don't use the posefiles (.pz2) for MATs, but the lightfiles instead. I don't know the Akarolights, so it's only one possibility. Usually, applying of light don't touch textures. Hope, it helps.

My voting: JIMBOB83 = 3 Points Lordlobo = 2 Points SophiaDeer = 1 Point Great entries!
