I know he did the first Alien. He also did the sketches for Sil on Species. I just like his work, that's all.

Sets actually designed by Giger? That would so F'N rule! Giger is the big daddy of weirdness!

Truth is, I don't read much Sci-Fi (except for the New Jedi Order saga). I'm into Fantasy and Horror. And well, I'm reading the new Stephen King novel, "Dreamcatcher", and well, I think that would fall in the Sci-Fi category. But anyway. Hey, Virtual, have you read anything by Salvatore?

Damn, but we have a problem. Brad is too old for a 17 year old girl. So we gonna change that 17 year old girl for...hmmm...let's say...Shawna Loyer! Yeah! Huh? Who's Shawna Loyer, you ask? Well, she's the Angry Princess from "13 Ghosts". And to boot, instead of having her family killed by the cyber punks, she gets her boyfriend killed.

Hahahahaha, well, I really don't know about hunks. But seems every other girl screams her head off for this guy. Well, let's fix it, then. Change Leo DiCapprio for Brad Pitt. Ruffle him up a bit like when he did Fight Club and there you go.

Sci-Fi? Hmmm. Well, I'd make a mixture of Horror and Industrial. Like, say, Mad Max meets Resident Evil or something like that. Something like Fallout, but with buncha zombies. And a 17 year old girl. You see, her parents were killed by this band of cyber punks and she's all alone, running from them, when she stumbles into this HUGE (and I do mean HUGE!) abandoned factory/warehouse. That's her only hideout. Inside, she finds rotting bodies and pieces of partially eaten members. She's freaking out. Cyber punks outside and rotting corpses inside. What can she do? WHAT CAN SHE DO? So she's running around, and she stumbles upon a living corpse that grabs her shoulder. Well, it was not a living corpse, but Aaron, the movie's hunk (maybe someone like Leo DiCapprio or something). Aaron helps her out, with both of them trying to find a way out of the factory. But then the zombies hit. Inspiration enough for ya?

Oh, my God, NO! NO! THE HORROR! WE'RE BACK TO THE Y! NOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!! That model looks pretty...uh...good...and...uh...nice job and all. Must...look...away...

From what I've heard, W2K runs Poser without problems, and my mate has EQ and I believe he runs it in W2K too.

If I load that texture into my PC, she'd give me the finger. Beautiful texture, by the way. Except for her eyebrows. You gotta work on them a bit more.

The magnets Poser brings are in RuntimeLibrariesPropsMagnets. At least that's where mine are. You're talking about the magnets for the ears, nose, chin, and eyes, right?

Good, good...but dark elves have white hair. AND they live in the Underdark, not on the sunlight. Well, except for Drizzt, but let's not go there.

Wait a minute! Playboy has interviews AND cartoons? First time I heard that.

Well, yeah, I know the characters are the band members, but I'm thinking they could be made from Michael instead of being made from scratch. And yeah, it ain't groundbreaking, but the motion capture at the fight at the end is way too sweet. Oh, and the guy with the goatee and the tattoos...are you gonna tell me that his textures weren't ultra realistic?

You know why that is, HipCheck? Because WinXP (and WinME) sucks, big time! I still use Win98, and I don't get hassles like insufficient memory and common crashes. And guess what? I run Poser 4 and 3D Studio Max R4 on a Pentium II, 500MHz, 64MB RAM (with 8 shared with the vid card), and it runs pretty well. It takes forever to render a scene with lots of elements, but it still does render.

I asked this same question a while ago and the answer I got was this: "We never make props in Poser. EVER! We use other 3D programs like 3D Studio Max, Lightwave, Maya, etc. There are some free 3D programs out there that can help you with this like Anim8or (www.anim8or.com) and Open FX (www.openfx.org)." Well, the answer was KINDA like that. But in essence, get another 3D program (I'd recommend Open FX--40 Megs, though--if you can't shell out 5,000 bucks for 3D Studio Max) and do the props there, then export them to Poser. Hope this helps.
