By the way, M4 and V4 are sensitive to which runtime they need to be installed. They need to be in Posers original runtime. It has something to do with paths to support files.

AFAIK, other figures are not sensitive to this.

After my first messy 'all in one' runtime, I copied it outside poser folder, made it into my "Old Runtime". Started a new native runtime for Poser, and started a set of organized runtimes.

This way, I still had access to my old one, and newer and more frequently used content, I bother to install into the organized side, as I go.

Okay, I admit, they're even cuter then kittens!

To clarify, it's DAZ Studio's Figure Setup Tools bundle I'm talking about.

Quote - > Quote - The detractors just don't know rigging!  They're blaming the tool instead of themselves!

I know rigging.  I blame the tool because it is badly bugged (falloff zone orientation).

Yeap, same here. DS does the same Rigging Poser does, but the tools are organized in a much more practical and productive way. And one can add ERC controls and various other cr2 modifications within the rigging tools. Not have to go hacking a cr2 with a notepad, or a cr2 editor of sorts.

Also, many morph loading and handling tools, right within the application. I ended up not needing a whole plethora of add-on applets for rigging. It's all inside one ap - much like it is with more advanced/higher end programs.

Well, no big hugz and kisses yet, but the girls have stopped hissing and growling at each other.  Their little hisses and geowls are so funny, they're so under breath, and not outwardly aggressive, they sound more like whining and complaining. Typical girls!!!

Bri went back to her normal routine.
Ashley has ventured around the rooms a little bit at night, but mostly stays in safe spots. I'm getting her to learn that under the bed is not a safe spot, but rather one of the shelves, where she's more accessible. She eats more then Bri, so she is easier to bribe with food and treats. Bri could care less for kitty treats and people food morsels.

I hope P8 does something new and very snazzy.
They're losing me to DS more and more, especially since their figure setup tools. I noticed a little bit of a trend in the same direction.  What I don't know is if the numbers of people switching over are significant or not.
I'm not very "program faithful".  Typically, if the tools suits me, I use it, sort of like picking the right size wrench.

LOL... silly typos gog=dog

YAY, Ashley is with us in tha cat room now, on her shelf. She finally let me come up to her in the bedroom, and snuggle her up and carry her to the cat room. She'll be a great kitty when she settles in.

Both, Bri and Ashley have a little waft of white fur low on her tummies. Bri's is heart shaped. Ashley has just one little waft in the middle.

It's like looking at those pictures where you have two of them, and have to find details that are different. I love it!

So... Ashley spend the night with Bubba in my office, aka, The Cat Room!  It went well, Bubba was being submissive, Ashley climbed up on the cat tree and slept there, whenever I came in to check.  Needless to say, my night was like having a baby, waking up every couple of hours to check on them.

6 AM after my honey went to work and the gog was out of the bedroom, I brought Ashley in, to hang out with me and Bri. They growled at each other a little bit, but Bri went back to her usual spots, and Ashley took a 'stronghold' under the bed. Of course, I can't get her out of there now, without spooking her too much, so Bubba and Bri and I are hanging out in the Cat Room, and little Ashley is by herself in the bedroom. Whenever I try to sneak in, I hear her running under the bed. I caught her once, and she starts snuggling and purring when you do, but then she tricked me and jumped off. I think that stressed her enough for now.  She doesn't seem to meowl like Bri did when I would leave the room...

I'm impatient, I'd rather have her here in the cat room, then in the bedroom by herself.... tapping fingers....

Yea, they are totally reacting like" "I thought I got rid of you. What are you doing in my house?". Especially Bri. Ashley is keeping both of them at a distance with a bit of a hiss and a growl at the moment. They're keeping to themselves for the most part.

Okay, now observing her most of the day, Ashley is not skittish or unfriendly at all!  Her and Bri hadn't quite hit it off as I hoped, but Ashley is very people friendly. My honey is a bit on the loud side on occasion, and more of a head and back patter then petter and snuggler, and Ashley let her pet her a lot, and loved it.  Bri feels intimidated around him.

But the foster house that Ashly came home has three 20-year olds, two guys and a girl, living on their own in tiny small apartment, with a yappy dog. Looks like a pretty loud rowdy place, and Ashley has been hiding most of the time... like when the guys are yelling playing video games.... She's not hiding here at all. Still sitting on the same shelf, she hasn't gone exploring yet, even when we left her alone in the room.

Ashley is asleep right now, not crumpled up in a scared little catloaf, but looks like she's pretty comfortably sprawled out. She LOOOVES her tummy rubbed, instantly and intensely rolls on her back. Bri is trying to sneak up closer to her while sh's asleep, to sniff her over. Bri was doing that with Bubba first few days too.

My little Angel Tigger is watching over all of us :)

Okay, for all the No's and resistance that my honey was putting on... Looks like him and Ashley are love at first sight!!!!

I think Bri is going to be Momma's girl, and Ashley will be Daddy's girl!

PERFECT!!!!!
I mean, PURRRFECT!

Wow, that's a cool looking pic. Very expressive! Boni, You got some drawing talent there!!!!

YAAAY, Ashely is here with us, came here about three hours ago! She found a spot on one of the high shelves and is watching the other two. She's a tad defensive (hissy), but not quite as skittish as Bri was. If you can call three little hisses and one grrr hissy. Bubba and Bri didn't hiss back, they're just very curious, but in a pretty friendly way.

Ashley is little more meowy and vocal then Bri. Bri doesn't vocalize much - except when I leave the room without her. Ashley seems to want to talk to you when you're there. She's already used to her name, and often meows back when you call her name.

Bri and Ashley are curiously staring at each other across the room. Bubba is dozing off. I'd say the initial introduction went pretty well. The biggest blunder was made by me, as I knocked out a drawer of trinkets floor in the office, it made a big crash and spooked all three of them for about 10 min. Go figure. Clumsy Momma cat!

Even better news, Ashely is coming with me tommorrow, don't gave to wait till saturday.

Bri has settled in quite well. Plays like a little wiggly butt full of attitude monkey, in front of everyone including the dog in the middle of the livingroom.

I think right now she thinks that the dog smells like a Tomcat, she's going through the twirly twisty squirmy walking on her back kind of a thing that kitties do in front of Tomcats. She kicks 70e dog out of her bed, and takes it over. Bri is 7 pouds, the dog is 70. Tooo adorable!

Finally, I heard back from my doctor!  No cancer on pap smear.

However, my thyroid test came out very out of whack. They tell me some of the bad lab results that are are signal of cancer are also a signal of a bad thyroid.  Things are pointing towards a thyroid problem. They need more tests to see if it's Graves disease, or Hashimotos (both autoimmune thyroid conditions, I gather) or if its one of the less common conditions. More tests next week. The doc finally felt my thyroid, and said it does seem enlarged. I couldn't tell, because I gained so much weight in las couple of years, I thought my neck feeling fatter was just from getting, well, fatter.

It's good to know that being at high risk for cervical or ovarian cancer, it came out normal. That's one big load off my back.

My honey also signed us up for a weight loss program, it's a closely medically supervised weight loss program, Lindora. We start tomorrow. We're on the first 10-week go-around, as the general goal is to lose about 40 pounds in the first 10 weeks. Usually first few weeks, you lose a lot, then it tapers off.

Aaaand, I'm getting Ashley this saturday. The girls whom handled her and Bri at the rescue place tell me that Bri was actually the more scared one of the two, which is even better for Ashley!

Maybe things will start moving in a positive direction for a change.
