ps Spike you didn't HAVE to close it down, that was just a cowards way out of the bad situation you admins created & couldn't handle.

I think the PTB need to be fired en-masse & replaced with people who can actually think for themselves instead of buying into the lost sheep mentality that seems to be creeping into the mindset of those in charge around here. Your TOS is ambiguous at best, or complete crap if you want to see it as it really is. The christian "everything has to be christian or else" bullshit has no place in 21st century society & that includes sites like this. If you really want this to be a site that only christians are welcome to then don't pussyfoot about it banning certain people who don't agree with your collective theological view run a poll & ban everyone who isn't christian. If that's not the case then why the hell are you allowing your religious beliefs to get in the way of you doing your jobs properly?

oops that was the one SnowS, apologies to both Flak & Hobbit for confusing them like that :)

That sounds like something that Hobbit did a while back, one of the most talented people I've seen post in the galleries here :)

Even tho I changed over to Poser5 last year & will not be going back any time soon I agree with what the others have said here. Stick to Poser4 until you've got a good grasp of what you're doing, the new features are very nice but they can get in the way if you're only just learning what poser can do. Poser5/6 will be around when you're ready for it & so will us people who use it too :)

The texture can be converted with the Universal Texture Convertor but the Morphs are just not compatible or transferable.

yep they sure are stupid genny :) hahaha I got in 3 times today, where's the mods when twits pop in with warez requests?

The Eternal Posette uses a different mapping to the original doesn't she? the old textures are no use in that case & I haven't heard tell of any for the new girl yet.

I didn't realise not all modelling programs support shaders weightmapping & IK, that'll really limit what programs can be used then. It'll limit how many merchants can afford to make the move over to D|S too as some of the higher-end modellers are quite expensive. Shade will also make things less clear-cut especially if it's combined into poser not that I can see that happening for a few years at least (Poser8 maybe). I'd hope the community is strong enough to survive the split when it happens, we've done it before so there's no reason we can't do it again.

any chance of carmen electra's phone number?

tata newbie hahahahahaha

I wouldn't agree with the "Content Provider" comment either, I'd say Daz is trying to make themselves "The Main Marketplace" maybe & possibly the future of the Poser Community (They protest against that too much for it not to be so) Daz being put out of business because D|S doesn't live up to the hype (I'm being hypothetical here) would be a big blow to the community but I'm not sure it would end it all in an instant. Only time will tell if we need to worry about the fallout from a Daz closure, personally I don't think we will have to. I don't see any reason why people have to be limited to just the one Modelling program either, once the SDK for D|S is out the smarter programming types out there should be able to write plugins for whichever modeller they prefer, most programs do accept the use of plugins afterall. Whatever happens in the next year or two it'll be interesting & thought provoking & it's bound to be a lively time to be part of the community.

OH NO!!!!!!! I'll really have to behave myself now hehehe ;) Congratulations Carolly & definetely not before time :)

I had a few of the minor bugs surface with Poser5 but since SR4.1 it's just fine for me, I have the PC version :)
