Great, maybe not, but free so the price is right to at least have a peek.

Is the add on for it

That last one is fantastic Elfwine, you wouldn't happen to recall where you found it and if there were any more?  I have a little winged elf I am working on and I need feathers similiar to that to make textures for the wings for her.

Mythical Wings are on RDNA, made by Arki.  Actually, I think I am going to grab them over there myself, I needed a good set of 'angel' type wings.

The tutorial scene, I would forget my head if it wasn't screwed on.

Anyone have a wrench so I can tighten my neck bolts?

Back on topic... Yep, as I recall there was a copy of a IDL friendly VSS material included with the IDL test scene that was in another thread.  I know I have it.  Argh!  Why did my kids delete my bookmarks last week.

About where I was last night, I think the Min Shading Rate was 0.30 actually.  I tend to run multiple tests nudging the settings up a hair until it looks like I want.  Even rendering without IDL is spiking my CPU to 85 C or so and it will shut down on those about 1 in 4 times.

The help is appreciated.  Really, but I  tend to being conservative with settings, got in the habit when I was rendering on my old IBM T-30 laptop never saw a reason to change.

Well good news and bad news.  The dumping of the xml files at least let me run a few tests with IDL.  The bad news, I move up my render settings at all, still shuts down.

Reason has been found, it is overheating.  Seems my CPU broke 100 C when trying to run the render with IDL.  Eep!  Well at least I know what needs replacing when I can afford it.

So, pretty please, can I please have the albinoize with AO?

New heatsink/fan and then I am tackling IDL properly... eventually.

Train them to lay on your feet under the desk as a personal footwarmer.  It is what I did with my Jack Russel, though it did take an inordinate number of Cheese Bits crackers. (Her treat of preference)

Absolutely adorable pup.

No problems.  Had just been looking at it earlier.

Quote - Sometimes crashes happen in P8 when the preference files become corrupt. You find them in:

C:Documents and SettingsUsernameApplication DataPoser8.0

Obviously the folder that I've stated as Username will be your name. Delete the .XML's and the preferred state.pz3. You have to have hidden files visible in order to see the folders.

Restart the computer and see what happens. If that doesn't clear things up then try looking in the General Preferences in Poser and uncheck where it says Use Binary Morphs if it is checked.

These where solutions that Smith Micro suggested and they have both worked for me

CHEERS!

Well use binary morphs is already off.  Sooo, I will try the other.  If it works, bonus, but it isn't just poser crashing, it is the whole computer shutting down.  Will try anything once though.

I was thinking so.  Sadly, purchases of new computer parts have to wait til I get caught up from the holidays on my bills.  Four kids equals Christmas being expensive.

New heatsink/fan will be on the list with the new video card, tablet and extra RAM I want as soon as I can afford it.  Til then no IDL for me.

While I use V4 and M4 most often, my favourite is probably still Sara.  Still free and at one point there was a fair bit of support for her.  And with the crossdresser license for her being free it makes dressing her easy.

I would really really -love- to use IDL it is why I got Poser 8, but without fail my comp shuts down when I attempt to render any scene with it.  Quad core, 6 gigs of dual channel RAM and it wilts with even a test render with IDL, and yes, I strip the AO off all materials when I have tried it. 

Trying to figure out why this happens, I am pretty sure it is a hardware problem somwhere, but until I do the albinoize material with AO would be greatly appreciated.

Quote - Which version of Poser are you using?
