I've got a challenge for you ... I am running two low end computers. a P133, with Poser and Bryce (No room for anything else on the 540 hd) and a Mac I use for everything else, (a Quadra 800, 68k machine) I need a small free/shareware modeling program to do little things to add to Bryce and Poser untill I can upgrade and get Rhino. Any suggestions? Thanks Boni

hea, no need to appologize, I just suggested that she register with Renderosity so she can just come to the site. I think that is what BAM was refering to originally. We all have to protect our sites. Take care. Boni

That is the most concise explanation I've ever seen, thank you so much! That is a true service to the Poser community! Boni

My roommate has the same problem and it has only happened recently. I message her throughout the day and sometimes link to an image here for her to see as to the things I'm learning about 3d art. Now I have to refer to the whole page. Is this a bandwidth issue? Because of what happened with some postings at PFO? I can understand if it is, you do have to cover bandwidth costs ... I'd just like to be aware of it. I'd assumed (Lord help me when I do that) that you were protecting your bandwidth. Boni

Thanks Anthony! Boni

I too was curious about Eric's site, but I recieved a message that said, "no URL" when trying to link. Has the site moved? Boni

I once heard a lecture from a famous artist who'd been gifted with a pencil drawing by another great artist ... two professional people who should've known better. The recipient took the drawing and in a fit of creative experimentation erased almost the entire drawing, leaving a hint of the original piece. When the originator of the drawing found out, he was so hurt and incensed that the two men haven't spoken since. I'm so glad that those in this forum have the forsight to avoid such a possible situation.

Macs are programed to go through at least 2040. So ... there are some funkie viruses going around, but the system is pretty much Y2K complient. Just thought you shoule know. Peace Boni

The only way I know of is to create a sphere and a sun texture to it. There is the same problem with haveing the sun and moon in the scene at the same time. It's impossible and you have to create a "sun" from the volumetricl lights. I hope this helps. Boni

If it's a combination of 2d and 3d art, please add my site: http://www.angelfire.com/biz2/AmethystArts. This is a great service. Peace Boni

I'm just wondering ... and this may just be me .. but isn't decoding like that against the licensing agreement? Maybe I don[t understand decoding. But if we could write the code for the program then we could make objects and characters for the program without even owning it. I find that a bit unsettling for those who have spent a lot of money buying it and for Metacreations as well. I may misunderstand this issue entirely. Please enlighten me either way. Keep Posin' and Brycin' Boni

I'd tried to see some of Clint's Animi stuff, and I got a message from Mindspringt hat the image had exeeded it's bandwidth viewings for the month. An unusual glitch, it's only the 7th., I mentioned this to Clint over at PFO. Does this make sense to anyone?

Personally it makes sense, if the movie industry can make standards and x=no male frontal nudity, and that is restricted, meaning no minors. Willow has a basis. There are children there. And even R means Adult supervistion, whereas not even adult supervision is allowed for X ratings. We cannot expect a forum to be accessable to schools and educational organizations and accept socially defined (and legally, as well as media organization defined) unacceptable forms of nudity. Since this forum is creating an area safe from children and allowing such images, why make it an issue on the PFO. They have a right to set their own rules. They do a good job. Let it be. Please, Let's just enjoy the art on both forums. That's what this is about, isn't it the art? Respectfully

Bloodsong, I thought standard morphs would work better for the raising and lowering of the eyelids too. Hopefully Traveler is reading. thank for the tips!!! You do wonderful work. Can't wait to use what I'm learning. Keep Posin' Boni

Perhaps a different texture on the man would help ... if he is a statue, cool, if he is flesh and bones, he is far too large in relation to the building. The rest of the piece is exquiset,(sp) don't change a thing. Ripples maybe, but again the mirror like stillness may be disturbed by that. The structure, hue, ambiance and tone is wonderful. Peace Boni
