Just my 2 cents -
From Poser you should render an uncompressed AVI , which is not the final product but the intermediate format you use as source material for your encoder or video editor. Uncompressed AVI is essentially the same thing as rendering individual stills, it just packages them in a single file. Many video programs can handle the stills, but they can ALL handle an AVI.
If your Powerpoint will be used only (or primarily) on Windows, then you should look into the Windows Media Encoder, which is a free download from Microsoft. Use it to convert your uncompressed AVI to a compressed WMV file for embedding in Powepoint. It produces very good quality files at small sizes/bitrates.
Another option is to compress the video to x-platform Flash video, which can also play back inside a Powerpoint. Flash is geared to web delivery, but it's not limited to that - it's a good general purpose video platform for local playback as well. Turbine Video Encoder is a free FLV compressor that doesn't require you to buy Flash. (Scroll to the bottom of the linked page for the free version download.) You might also find something on osflash.org, the open source Flash resource. (The SWFTOOLS package listed there has an AVI2SWF converter if you don't mind using command-line software.)
Quicktime is another option, but you must pay for Quicktime Pro to use it. However, at about $30 it's a bargain if you are going to be showing on both PC and Mac, and the quality is generally better than Flash video.
If you have a video editor program, it may natively support one or more of these formats. For example, I have Sony Movie Studio and it has a licensed Quicktime encoder that lets me create MOV files even though I don't have Quicktime Pro.
Good luck!
Thread: Need a Manhattan, NY model -- Lower Manhattan specifically | Forum: Poser - OFFICIAL
My understanding is that you don't need to do any coding to use Ogle. You do need to hand edit some configuration files (ini files) but that's not the same as writing code or scripting. And maybe not even that (see step 7 below.)
You do need to d/l and install another app called GLIntercept that Ogle uses to grab the scene. These two apps run while you are viewing a 3-D scene in a third app like Google Earth.
The instructions are as follows:
.bin``.

directory for your GLIntercept installation, typicallyC:Program FilesGLIntercept0_5Plugins
, and rename the directory to OGLE``ogle_*

variable. (This is one of the settings in the GLConfig.ini file you have to edit. The GUI probably lets you set this also.).obj
file in the directory where your application runs. Open it in...POSER of course!
The above is my "lite" version of the instructions found on this page:

Thread: Need a Manhattan, NY model -- Lower Manhattan specifically | Forum: Poser - OFFICIAL
I'd suggest you check out Google Earth. It has some fairly elaborate 3-D models of real locations. I don't have it installed, though, so I can't check on lower Manhattan.
You can't export geometry directly from Google Earth, but there is a hack you can use to get geometry out of it into a format Poser can use. It's called Ogle and it can 'snatch" the meshes from any app that uses OpenGL as its rendering engine (as Google Earth does.)
Guess that means it won't work in Vista, though. Good luck
Thread: (OT) OMG! I'm returning the computer from HELL!!!! | Forum: Poser - OFFICIAL
Sorry to hear about your Dell nightmare. Your experience is, if not typical, at least amazingly common. Head over to www.gripe2ed.com and check out some of the Dell horror stories there.
Their support used to be top-notch, and that is when a lot of corps standardized on them. But they've always operated on the margins of the business, profit-wise, and as those margins have shrunk, they've had to cut everything to the bone to stay alive. Their support has been on a downward slide for at least five years now, maybe more.
I read that they just ousted their CEO and Michael Dell is coming back in to run the company. Dell has been slashing support AND PRODUCT quality for years to maintain a cheap price, and now the company is finally tanking and their stock is suffering as a result. We'll see if he can turn them around.
Building your own computer is not really hard. If you can hook up a vacuum cleaner and change the bags, you can probably manage it. It was an experience much like yours that got me started building PCs many years ago. Maybe life is giving you a lemon because it wants you to do something with it.
Thread: I want a kind of Poser Pro | Forum: Poser - OFFICIAL
Quote: "You buy Poser for your Content,not Content for Poser."
I think if this were literally true, the market for Poser would have dried up (or shrunk dramatically) as soon as DAZ|Studio came out. Clearly this has not happened, so I think your assumption is a bit off the mark.
In fact, your question seems to put the lie to this. If it were so, wouldn't you just buy Messiah: Studio Workstation for the extra $150 and import the content you could buy from DAZ? Instead, you want high-end features incorporated into Poser, so it seems you place a pretty high value on remaining "true" to Poser, for whatever reason.
BTW - I think the secret of Poser's success is that you get a realistic naked doll to command as you see fit. Just sayin'. :-D
Thread: Help: hanging breasts... | Forum: Poser - OFFICIAL
I thought immediately of the Posermatic NBM when I read your post, but then I saw that you already have that. Maybe you could contact the vendor with this question? Seems like something that should be included.
While you're at it, maybe you (as a paying customer) could nudge them towards creating a Natural Breast System for A3.

This seems to be exactly what you are looking for. Unfortunately it's only for V3.
Thread: animation help please... | Forum: Poser - OFFICIAL
This sounds like you used different codec settings for the two renders. Did you render the first one to an uncompressed AVI? The second one sounds like it might have been rendered using one of the old Windows codecs (indeo, etc.) or maybe a highly-compressed web-specific codec.
If you're doing small test renders, and have the disk space, it's always best to render uncompressed AVIs. They render the fastest and look the best.
Thread: Why are alot of the thumbs cropped ? | Forum: Poser - OFFICIAL
As a community of artists - or if you're firmly in the "Poser is not art" camp, a community of creative types producing artfully-created non-art ;-) - I think there is an aesthetic argument to be made.
Unless your render is perfectly square and not too much larger than the thumb itself, the thumbnail has a different set of aesthetic constraints from the main render. It must be square. It must be small. For a highly detailed, 16:9 format render, these constraints alone would make a cropped thumbnail the compelling choice.
Any artist knows that the choice of format affects your product. If I were shooting a video, I'd certainly do it differently depending on whether it was meant for theatrical exhibition or consumption on a cell phone screen. Change the size and the level of detail, and you've changed the rules, at least in the visual arts.
Also, there's the advertising angle. The galleries are a kind of marketplace, though the currency is attention not dollars. Marketplaces imply (some would say require) advertising. And as with all advertising you have a continuum of quality, from sublime to crass, from straightforward to deceptive. And a well-known tenet of advertising is that if it gets your attention it's working, whether you end up liking the product or not.

Never could figure out Bart's PE. I've heard it's awesome & all but I found it too confusing to get set up with just casual tinkering.
Some other ideas:
Thread: MS Vista will not fully support OpenGl in Poser or any 3-D application. | Forum: Poser - OFFICIAL
I don't think there is any compelling reason today to upgrade to Vista. I don't think anyone besides MS thinks there is. Most people will move to Vista in one of the following ways:
The net effect of these will be the same - the Vista upgrade will start to seem more worthwhile, more people will start to get it, and eventually it will become the norm. The developers and the system builders are already there. The masses won't be far behind.
Bash MS if you like, but they're in a bit of a pickle. They make the lion's share of their money off Windows & Office. Linux is already nipping at Windows' heels, and smart devices are taking on more of the work that you used to need a desktop for. Services like Google Docs & Spreadsheets are just going to keep getting better, keep eating into their Office cash pile, and MS can only compete by matching their competitor's strategy and price structure, which makes them an also-ran rather than a market leader. They're concentrating their efforts in areas they think will be tough for competitors to match, and trying their best to grab hold of additional revenue streams before the one that sustains them turns from a river into a creek.

You can do it manually too but it is SO MUCH WORK you probably don't want to.

There's Comic Life Deluxe but it's only for Mac...
You might want to take a look at this tutorial page, but it's more of a manual approach.
Thread: A handful of GIRL3 questions... | Forum: Poser - OFFICIAL
OK, thanks again.
Jules - I don't think it is having a problem finding the object since the path displayed in the error dialog is the correct path and object name. I think I double-checked the CR2 already but I'll go back and have a look.
Maybe it would be a good idea for artists releasing RTE encoded meshes to include M5 hash values for the original meshes. That way you could be sure the decode process succeeded.
Thread: Has anyone produced "Normal" Poser figures? | Forum: Poser - OFFICIAL
Capsces Digital Ink has a number of great morph packs for a variety of figures that provide more than just the "beach babe" look.
Check out "Rayne" for V3 and "Brom" for M3 over at DAZ. Or if you don't mind using the older figures in your images, the Roxanne pack for V2 in the marketplace here also has some good examples and is very reasonably priced.
