I got the same kind of response a long time ago. I thought maybe he'd have a change of heart.

No disrespect, but i don't understand why an artist would turn down money for the same thing he or she was selling before.

I mean, if somebody contacted me about one of my old products and i had some left, i'd take the money without even thinking about it twice.

Too bad. JAG had some good products. I hope he goes back to selling again.

thanks for the info.

I own eight JAG products so i checked the license and you were right. No second party sales allowed.

SInce I have never violated any license agreements i have no intention of doing that now.

So, i withdraw my earlier request..

Hopefully, JAG will contact me and allow me to purchase this product privately.

The Lunchpack1 is perfect for this working man scene i'm trying to create. I hate that i let it slip past me on my wishlist when i thought i had pretty much bought all of JAG's stuff. It's a shame the products are no longer available because JAG had some unique, high-quality food props which are hard to find for Poser.

guess i'll have to live without it if JAG isn't interested.  :-)

Here's a new item on DAZ3D:  Wintery Frolics

http://www.daz3d.com/i.x/shop/itemdetails/-/?item=5946

 I contacted DAZ  last week about more winter clothing. Can't be sure if the artist had already planned to release this but i don't care, as long as we see more winter items.

I agree. 

I just bought  "XmasXtras for V4 and A3" since i can use the hat, muffler and boots for V3 & V4, and on 3DCommune, i bought  "Winter Props 2" because of the snow-covered ground, fence and icy props. 

Here's a muffler, hat and winter boots (Poserpros)

Which one is the nice kitty? :-O

tee hee  just kidding....

*"About Backstreets, to make a texture that adds to the current texture, I think I could set up snow overlay materials. I think it's possible, but I have to try it out to make sure. To make it work, one would HAVE to install it in the same runtime where backstreets are."

That would be cool as opposed to creating textures that take away from a product as good as "Backstreets". Putting the new textures in the same runtime is easy and maybe directions could be included for newer Poser users.

Now, some of the building and street products out here need more textures because most aren't as good as "Backstreets", so anything that added more realism would be a plus.

P.S. love your kitty pics above your monniker. :-)

I have stomemason's work and almost all of ratracer's things, also. The problem with using a sky done or a cyclorama background is real life isn't like this: one building in the middle of nowhere with no other buildings or people around.

I also own "Henry Square North" (the link you gave). Real nice.

Regarding "Backstreets", I don't want a clean look, i love the worn textures because they're so realistic. Fantastic buildings and props. I'm talking about adding weather elements so the streets will be snow covered or rainslicked and there will be ice or raindrops on the windows, etc.

I know this is a tough request. Just thought i'd throw it out there.

Regarding the other ideas, i might tackle the people/city interior/exterior backgrounds myself.

OK...you asked for it. :-)

Here's (what i think) are some great product suggestions. If i was a better artist, i'd do them myself.

Idea #1 -- take the most popular outside building and street products and create a MAT for winter, snowing, raining, daytime, sunset & night-time.

Idea #2 -- if feasible, create a series of outdoor backgrounds like residential neighborhoods or a downtown skyscrapers & buildings where it is winter, snowing, raining, storming, daytime, sunset and nighttime with or with a moon. this would be used as a background for a Poser render.

Idea #3 -- 2D crowd mats that can place realistic looking Poser men and women and children and cars, buses, trucks, etc as a background for a Poser render

Idea #4 -- 2D people inside of Poser scenes, sitting at a table in a restaurant, or train station, or night club or bar. I'm not sure how this could be done, perhaps as a MAT where the artist took the "Stylish Lounge" by ratracer and created a MAT where people or couples were sitting at the tables and booths AS a  background 

OR

some low-res 3D characters that could be added to a scene already posed in sitting, standing or walking positions with smart-propped drink glasses or cell phones so they could easily be added to ANY scene. 

I realize this sounds lazy :-) but there are many times when you don't want to spend a lot of time creating realistic backgrounds, you just want to deal with the main character(s) in a scene OR maybe you're doing an animation and God knows that takes enough time without spending days on creating a background.

Here are the scenes I'd like to see more details on the inside and/or the outside:

In Renderosity Marketplace

1 -- Architectural Staircase and Building (ratracer)
2 - City Building (Poser 5) (ratracer)
3 - RoC: Diner
4 - Cafe Classique
5 - Celeste's Diner
6 - INTENSIVE CARE UNIT  (add doctors & nurses to background)
7 - Dove Valley
8 - Backstreet
9 - The Bar

If no one is interested, maybe, I'll tackle these products myself and see what happens....

Hope they'll be scenes and props like nice outdoor urban winter scenes, snow-covered city sidewalks and porch steps, slushy streets, iced-up windows, and food props like cocoa with marshmellows   :-)

*"...since winter clothing seems to be in short supply I think I'll give it a whirl, I'll keep you folks posted on what I come up with."

Cool.

If it's modern winter clothing, i'll be your first customer.

Oh yea, i forgot to mention www.poserworld.com.

Under Victoria 4 clothing, there's a nice winter cardigan and some other winter clothes. Also lots of clothing, scenes, props, etc. for all the Poser folks. Of course, you gotta join, but it's very reasonable for a subscription.

DAZ is having a great sale on certain items.

There's a leather-looking jacket for V4 among other things. It's $5.94 until Dec 31.

Hope you find them, Ed. Those were some pretty nice clothes. Same goes for me, I'll take them free or not.

Thank you all for the information. A few artists have contacted me and said they'd consider it. We'll see....
