it's not that anyone wants to use it, it's just that his restriction is stupid because it's so impossible to enforce. Suppose someone made and posted such an image then sent him an email saying "Look what i did. Now what are you going to do about it?". What could he do?

The one and only exception to my no free stuff rule is Daz, because they are the best Poser-related company I've encountered (every interaction i've had with them has been positive, without exception, like the way Anton immediately fixed that problem with the Droid as soon as someone discovered it) and i want to give them all the support I can. their freebies seem to be more in the way an expression of appreciation for all the support they've gotten from their customers besides all their stuff has the same EULA as the purchased stuff. Daz is in a class by itself.

I just get that way when people try tio control what i do and then whine about ingratitude. I don't need anyone's charity. My dad once told me that as long as he was supporting me i had to jump thru his hoops, so i told him where he could stick his money and left. that was 19 years ago and i haven't been back since. During a brief flirtation with Christianity, they kept trying to control me so i told them where to stick their church, their ancient book, and their dead saviour and haven't been inside a church since 1988. I never take free handouts because there's always hidden catches. If you get something free then you're expected to be grateful (which means you owe them something). I don't have much, but what little I have is mine and i don't have to kiss anyone's @$$ so even though it means doing without at least i can be proud of the little that i have.

Marti(a)n, I'm happy for you that you can afford to pay for everything that you use. That's a good thing, but there are those that can't<< Actually I don't have much of money (i'm a struggling college freshman), but about once (or twice if I'm lucky) a year i get a bit of cash and can afford a small spending spree (a couple hundred bux or so)and i spend the rest of the year deciding what i will get next time I get money... It's just that i like the pay-for stuff better because i don't have to jump thru anyone's hoops to use it...

contributors have the right to stop contributing. I'm sure the pillar guy will. And that's sad.<< What's so sad about it? If he stops contributing, so what??? With draconian restrictions like his, who needs it? I have 3 perfectly good Egyptian columns that I paid daz $1.99 for. This is precisely the reason i boycott free stuff. I can proudly say that everything in my runtime folder is paid-for stuff. The pillar guy sounds like just another Fundie trying to push his Fundie agenda... Can anyone tell that I have an axe to grind with fundies?

As for the fundie that posted the free (sort of0 egyptian pillar, now the poor sucker has to spend all his time combing thru all the Poser galleries making sure nobody violates his restrictions. plus, he has to get subscriptions to all the occult magazines and hit all the occult and BDSM websites and porn sites to make sure nobody there is using any of his stuff....:P

Whenever i get anything from daz i alwaeys rename the file to something more appropriate. I renamed the gorilla LE file to "Gorilla", Usulally what I do is just copy the product name from the invoice, then when i rename the file i just do ctrl V to paste in the product name...

Don't know of any good free ones, but if you're looking to buy one, try the marketplace - a search for "castle" returned 120 hits.

No hurry. My son raises them as a hobby and wants me to do some guinea-pig pix, so whenever you can get it done will be fine... Thanks.

It works just fine with the LE Dragon, too. You use the Mat pose for size and proportion which reduces the dragon to the same size as the human Poser characters, then add the clothes and use the dragon Folk poses to pose him.

I have the buck (on the old Zygote Animals CD) and you can't hide the antlers on it. The doe is on the Daz Sampler CD.

Which one of you is the blue dot in the middle of the Atlantic Ocean?

The free time machine is no longer available...It was at Poserworld, but they took it down.

I forgot the filename but as it was never a freebie, if you had it you bought it and daz will have your purchase on file and you can ask them to allow you another download of it.

the file is called cyclorama.exe
