It's a combo between Crocodile, Alligater, and some pictures of Dinosaur teeth that I took at the museum after work yesterday (armed with a camera phone and a yearly pass to the museum and dangerous) ~o As far as the cost, I'm thinking free unlimited non-commercial use, and free commercial use with notification (basicly I'm going to write up something that says you can use it commercially that I'll e-mail people if they need to use it in commercial work. This is just so I know what it's going into and I can brag about it ^^ )

does turning off HyperThreading speed up Poser 5?

points finger at Morrigan and winks ~_0 Gotcha, BTW since this is pretty OT now we cna say the TOS discussion is offically over??

don't forget the homemade shank to hide under the bed.

I agree with nerd, most upgrade options require you to keep the original version of the license. The discount given isn't a loyalty bonus, but more of an acknolagment that you already own a product and are only interested in the new features/content rather then buying a full base product.

I always lovingly squeeze out my plops, don't you? ghelmer you should do a tutorial about creating poo, see if it get approved ^_^

now thats a shitty picture.

ohh you can make it fit. Although I never tried it, try rescaling in a zero pose, exporting as a prop, reimporting it as a prop, and clothifying it in the cloth room. Like I said havn't tried it, but should work.

even this one on TS is better and cheeper, and has a better discription. something really stinks with that first model.

ok well anyhow I just got done reading the 'new' update to the TOS and...

..personally I think the new TOS is reasonable.

I know everyone wants to do naked little feary pics, and as it was pointed out there are places that specialise in that kind of stuff. The stuff that I and I think most here was concerned about is the stuff that doesn't apply to feary world so wouldn't be approprate for the fea sites. Those issue have been addressed.

Besides a lot of the feary pics I see around here would acctually look better with clothes on. There is nothing to say that in a modern world that they wouldn't adopt a more moderate clothing sense. (if they didn't GW would be squishing them with a fly swatter anyhow)

If the forward and back stunt that TPTB pulled was intentenal (sp) to bring in stricter TOS with out ppl really fighting their final outcome, then well I think that was a smart move that worked. Can't fault them for that.

If it was a 'Gee we never thought of that' type of oversight, then shame on them, but hey they're only humans (i think, we don't have any fearies, dragons, greys, or elf admins do we?) so this is excusable.

If they intended for the very strict TOS and then came to their senses, then well they should be commended for atleast coming to the senses at the end.

BR>All and all I don't think that the outcome was too bad.

moochie I can't say for sure, but the TOS says "No child nudity of any kind which includes exposed chest on females, buttocks or genitals"

so bare backs would be allowed as long at the butt or any part of the chest isn't shown. You would really have to watch the pose though to make sure it was pretty non-stimulating.

with post 386, If I were a mod/admin I'd have to say it would highly depend on the pose/background of the render. Which way I'd vote.

My advice would be would be for anything boarder line really concider:

1. the environment that the model appears in. Backgrounds can infer alot about an artist's intent.

2. Pose - shocked, imbarrised, bashfull, or nervious poses often infer a more youthfull appearence where more confindent poses age a model. This is due to the fact that as a women ages she get more comforable with people seeing her nude body and being nude in general.

3. Title - often the first impression people get is from the title of peice. My peice Bobbee's wedding night (modeled off of a 23 year old girl I know) seems look 20+, but title it 'trying on mom's clothes' and it suddenly look 16-17.

If you take all of this into account and you're still in doubt host it somewhere, IM a few people (and not just the admin/mods) and ask, or post something in here like "Does this look good, IM me for the link" and see what others think.

to help with that here is a dandy little link that I came across a while back
Image Shack
they'll host images for ya free.
and if your image doesn't pass, TPTB have asked as to be mature when giving/recieving critism from other users/artists, do the same when they critise your work.

Sorry this was a little long winded, but personally I think the main issue at hand has been solved so this will probably be the last post in this thread.
BTW - a forum is a collection of threads,
a thread is a topic with a collection of posts and a post is what everyone does in a thread.
sorry just a pet peeve when ppl call posts threads.

Quote from a website "At least 60 genera of pterosaurs have been found with sizes ranging from a sparrow to monsters with wingspans in excess of 40 feet! The wings were thin membranes of skin, similar to the wings of bats, and extended along the sides of the body."

so that kinda answers the question about pterodactyls. Leathery and batlike it is then.
