Site isn't identifying my past purchases as I browse the site. Makes it a tad difficult to insure I don't duplicate something if it happens to be on sale.

That is happening to me as well. I was about to buy something and in the back of my mind I thought I had purchased it a while back. Sure enough, I checked my account and I did buy it. I hope this can be fixed quickly.

Yep. I agree. Not many new items for Poser. Too bad.

It's been over 16 hours waiting for my order to be processed. Still no response from support either thru the forum or via email. They could at least give us an update.

I haven't had the nerve to put P8 on my Mac yet. I have it on my Windows box and have some similar problems to what you mentioned. When I first bring P8 up, I get the library folders with the ? marks. It takes about 4 minutes before the check mark/double check marks appear.

When I finally load it to 10.5.8, I'll let you know if I have similar prblems.

Thanks For checking ockham

My twist tool is "very jerky" worst on high polyfigures. In fact I cannot even get a full rotation on a fully loaded V4!

I have the same problem with my twist tool.

Thanks everyone!!

It is an optional add-on for Vue 7 Pro Studio.

Quote - > Quote - Just loaded my upgraded Vue 7 Pro Studio. Wanted to do a quick test render. Loogs good on the screen, but all the images come out black when I render to disk? Never happened to me with Vue 6.

What have I done wrong. I tried .png and .TIFF renders. Nothing but a black image. By the way, this is on an imac g5.

This was a known issue with some of the early versions of Vue 7. I know some of them have not been upgraded yet and believe only the two top versions are current, though I may be wrong. However, I do know the "PLE" edition does not and may not have all the patches applied.

I don't know if this is the case, but be sure to read the Vue support area about the patches as this sounds like the same issue they had early on. It is listed on their bug fixes report.

Thanks for the help. I grabbed the lastest official update, and that fixes the problem!!!!

I ordered the boxed version of Vue 7 Pro Studio from Safe Harbor. UPS is delivering tomorrow.

Quote - Something that also helps - ditch Vista and install Windows XP 64 bit (getting hard to come by, alas).
Caveat - check hardware support first. Mainboard should be no problem printers can be troublesome (for example, HP has removed the XP 64 bit drivers for the HP PSC2100 series all-in-ones from their site), scanners are definitely trouble.
So are ATI graphics cards. nVidia has good XP 64 bit support (and good Linux support), ATI has none to speak of.

@thartwick: do pickup Poser 7 for that quad! You'll find that rendering will be at least twice as fast as on the G5. Poser 6 has a single threaded renderer, so it will only use 1 of the 4 cores, while Poser 7 can calculate at least some parts of the render using 4 threads.
Don't expect quadruple speed - Firefly isn't that smart or efficient. But you can expect about double the render speed (YMMV - a LOT depends on the scene contents and layout).

Thanks. I'll have to save a few pennies and pick it up!!!

Quote - that still doesnt make any difference to the render time
when the shops are open monday im goin 4 a cheap stop watch and and experiment with further setting adjustments and race my 3 machines againsnt each other- the new one a quad core, a dual core and a amdathlon

Very interesting. I recently picked up a quad core also. I run Poser 7 on a G5 2.33 dual core Mac, and was wondering if I should pick up Poser 7 for it. I currently use Poser 6 on the quad core, and my dual core Mac seems to render just as fast as the quad core pc. I'm not comparing apples to apples though, using Poser 6 on the Quad and Poser 7 on the mac. I'd be intertested in your findings.

I use P7 and Leopard and have never needed anything else. I have a G5 iMac...2.4

Quote - Always a good idea to switch the UAC off too, that can cause problems.

Thanks!  Appreciate the hints!

Quote - Right-click the exe icon and select run as adminastrator... 

Thanks, will give that a go!

Well, I found it. The file path didn't exist. Okay, on to the puzzle. I upgraded to Pros Studio 6.60 and when the first time I executed after the update, it crashed and burned and I had to re-install.
