I tried using wine some time ago. I was skeptical on the whole concept. I used my Windows-installed working Poser installation as a basis and just tried to get it starting in Linux using wine. Fat chance ... it would simple have required too much work to get wine to accept Poser. I gave up. I'm currently using w2kpro ... and the only reason why I haven't switched to using Linux is ... tadaa ... Poser. Being a programmer I might be of some use, but I'm too skeptical and thus probably only a negative influence to such and endeavor. Getting the damn thing working would be most challenging part ... I mean getting Python installed and Poser using scripts would be a really minor thingie after that.

sigh Well atleast Dr.Geep is reading this thread... ergo still part of us... grasping at straws, but what the hell.

he he LOL

PoserWorld HAS baby stuff... prolly that's why dlk30341 posted it ... there are different 9 clothing items for MilBaby.

Try some Windows port of a UNIX Awk -program or even sed -program. One script should do the job with these.

Bah! Finding unused geometry files and texture files... a few lines of scripting in a unix-environment and in Windows ppl need "programs" to do those things. I suggest that whoever is really interested in cleaning up geometries and textures -folders from unused stuff, download yourselves some Windows-ported basic unix -tools and learn how to use them. This would be mainly grep-and diff -programs, with which these things can be done quickly and with no hassle. Might be "too involved" approach to those not familiar with anything that sounds like "unix" or "linux" and who don't know how to invoke a command line from Windows. one free Grep fro Windows: http://www.wingrep.com/download.html how to use: read read-me's :) Poser 4 use: 1) use grep to extract all references to the "Geometries" -folder and save the geometry path to a file. 2) use the just saved file as a source for grep and use it to match geometry files to those extracted from character- folders (or props or whatever). save the results to a file. 3) grep all geometry files and save their names to another file. 4) use diff to find what are the differencies between those two saved files in 2 and 3 --> delete the ones not in common (since every referenced geometry file should be in both saved files). Complicated? Not at all once you get the hang of it. This is just a quick'n'dirty approach for those dedicated to get the job done.

PoserWorld offers some nice new clothes for Steph.

Nice :) ... bought it right away !

Hehee... I understand what you mean Questor. You want to know how Anton searches quickly for his watermarks. I don't think you really need to even open Poser to check for the existence of those watermarks. Anton only needs to know in what part of the geometry his watermarks should be and he can have a program to quickly scan the morph target geometry in search of the watermark. Developing such a program should be a minor thing, me thinks. I may be wrong, but I sure as hell wouldn't search for the watermark in Poser! I'm not an expert in making morph targets, but I do know something about computing. Calculating offsets and deltas in the geometry should reveal an infringement, right? Not really different than the techniques used in steganographic software (ie. hiding messages in lossless or slightly lossy image files). Anton can correct me if I'm wrong.

Excellent!! That is one clever use of ZBrush and Poser. Thx for sharing the info.

Oh yeah... http://www.geocities.com/Area51/Zone/3234/races-mr.html See "pakled" in there ...

Heh heh ... I seem to remember a race called "pakled" in Star Trek: TNG. So you really ARE obsessive :)

And those steps would be ... ?
