I guess it's a download that DAZ has never worried about chasing up.

nghayward's link is to the Mac version. The Windows version is here:

Thanks; much appreciated.

This is shaping up really well - I agree with Sam about the Foss influence. Any chance of a mini-tutorial (or even a full one) when you're done?

Looks good. I haven't seen the film in ages, though - Channel 4 in the UK showcased anime quite a lot in the early/mid-90s and this is the one I remember - I'm not normally a genre fan.

It's on IMDB and elsewhere under its alternate title "Gunm".

Interesting heads-up; thanks.

My audio requirements aren't complex, and I stopped looking for editors when I found Audacity; how does Audio Editor compare?

Quote - Not once you have linked them, unless you can edit a file that I'm not aware of.   If you want them in a certain order so far as I know you have to link them in that way as you add them to poser.

In P6, they're stored in Runtime/Prefs/LibraryPrefs.xml. I've never messed around with that file, but it's pure text so it should be editable.

I have P7 but don't have it installed - I think it stores them in the user's 'Application Data' folder.

I had to go into hospital with pneumonia five years ago - not nice. Take it easy Paul, and don't rush back.

Quote - What you want to do is change the location of the 'scratch disk'. For example Photoshop has its own settings for location and order of scratch disks, nothing to do with your paging file! If a program doesn't have that setting it may be using the built in 'temp' locations provided by the OS. You'll find four of them in the system settings/environment variables. Set them to point to drive E: or wherever the space/speed is.

That's a good point. Poser 6 upwards uses your TEMP folder as its render cache; I'd forgotten that.

It's not true. Those nice Nigerian financiers are still emailing me, so their economy must still be OK.

Right-click on My Computer and choose 'Properties' from the popup menu. In the window that appears, click on the 'Advanced' tab; click on the 'Settings' button in the 'Performance' box.

Click on the 'Advanced' tab in the window that appears. Click on the 'Change' button in the 'Virtual memory' box.

The window that now appears shows your current and recommended settings (see mine in the picture). You'll need to select drive C and click on 'No Paging File', then select drive E in your case, click on 'Custom Size' and select the minimum and maximum sizes you want.

If you make the min and max sizes the same, the paging file will be permanent and won't change as the demand on RAM changes - this is reckoned to be a more efficient use of the paging file. In my case I just took the size that Windows recommended and made it my fixed size.

Bear in mind though that huge amounts of virtual memory aren't necessarily an advantage. From what I've read you don't need more virtual memory than you have physical RAM - and if you have 4Gb RAM you might not even need that much. I have 1Gb of RAM backed by a 1Gb swapfile.

You'll need to reboot your computer for this to take effect, and Windows will prompt you to do this.

If you're running Windows (and I guess if your hard drives are called C and E then you are), it's Windows itself rather than Poser that uses disk space to supplement existing physical memory. It sets up a special file called a swapfile or paging file. To quote the 'Performance Options' window; 'A paging file is an area on the hard disk that Windows uses as if it were RAM'.

If you haven't configured it yourself, the paging file will almost certainly be on your C drive.

If you want a traditional score editor, I'd suggest Finale Notepad. Yo need to register to download it, but registration and the program itself are free. The newest version now reads and exports MIDI files - a really useful addition. If you want a recorder and mixer, you could try Reaper. It's non-expiring shareware and is very good.

I use both; I compose in Finale then import the MIDIs to do the instrumentation and mixing in Reaper.

Quote - there's also a site devoted to making Poser props for movies, but I can't remember the name. Something to do with Oz, or Australia, or something (you get old, your mind ain't what it used to be..;)

I think you mean the Movie Mesh Site - it used to be at http://www.ozemail.com.au/~dproc/, but it's either moved or gone for good. There were some good models there.

Quote - Walmart's using it as well. Their self-checkout machines, that's the stock P4 Posette on the animated demonstration sequence that the monitors run when not in use by customers.

And in Tesco and Asda this side of the pond.
