OMG A pasta node!

I would buy Poser 12 just for the Pasta! D:

This is greeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaat, fantastiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiic news. Man, this makes me super happy right now!

Also, "hundreds of smaller bug fixed"!

I think 11.3 is the update we've been seriously waiting for.

And then it's a couple of hundred dollars. So strip out some of the bells and whistles and sell it for a reduced price, like Photoshop Elements.

Someone recently asked about Poser Debut, apparently it's been discontinued.

Runtimes DO have a standaridized structure.

That wasn't the point of my post. It's clear we're clearly not clearly clear on our thoughtful thinking thoughts here and it doesn't seem like we're going to be in sync at all, so I am just going to slowly exit this conversation.

Well both Afrodite-Ohki and Nails understood what I meant.

Besides, I only say that because in another thread about organizing poser I wrote how I wished the runtimes had a standardized structure but somehow you misconstrue that as wanting "a catalogue with a picture of his shirt, who it's made by, how much it costs and where he can buy it" which was literally nothing I said. I said none of that, anywhere in my posts and I was really confused as to where any of that came from and how you thought that's what I said. lol

It's ok though, it's just text and sometimes ideas don't always carry across in fonts.

I know you don't buy things so perhaps you don't know how it works currently. If you go to any product you have bought at Rendo it indicates it is purchased. (Daz has the option to hide products you own on by default, Hivewire shows an indication on the product and also has the hide option I believe). However this is not the case for the free poser items with 11.2 (or for prime freebies etc),

Perhaps the solution would be for customers to be able to link their poser 11 serial to their account for those who bought p11 from somewhere else prior to the sale to rendo, and then for that content it could be added to the account as purchased.

And in someways I'd love Rendo to be able to read my library to mark everything I have bought from various sites as purchased, with some stuff starting at rnda, going to daz then to rendo, and stuff which has come from CP, but I can see why other would worry, and it's probably not technically viable.

So I don't think the paranoid brigade have anything to worry about, but now it's been mentioned I can see someone telling everybody not to buy poser because this is what Bondware is planning!

I don't know what or why it is, but Earl always seems to completely misunderstand everything I say lately. I could say "I want to have some food" and he'd think I said "Well I really want to everyone here to go and buy a new sports car paint it blue then afterwards you should start your own take out business that only sells expensive raviolis".

But yeah, the product indication is what I would like to eventually see for the bonus content. I like the idea of linking your serial number to the store and I'm actually surprised that wasn't already an option since Bondware now owns and sells Poser exclusively on the marketplace. Though Bondware reading my Poser library is a step I'm not too comfortable with.

@azath....I am so tired of your assumptions. Poser has had a call home system since Smith Micro owned it. That was started it with Poser Pro 2014 Game Dev and carried through Poser 11 and Poser Pro 11. We continued that system for continuity and for the ability to have the notification system built in and for future development It is NOT to start charging a fee to use Poser. IF and when....IF EVER...we offered a subscription there would also be an option to purchase poser as always. A fully licensed version to buy to own. Stop putting out "ideas" or "assumptions" into the ether. You claim to support Poser...while always trying to undercut the program. WHY? We have owned the software for less than a year. How about you just give it a little time and see what actually is done.

As for a list of products or content that is FREE with the purchase of Poser..we do have a page listing all of that content. It is connected to each Poser Software page here with the the purple bar right under the lightbox images. Says click here to see free content....click that and it will take you HERE.

On the Poser Software site we also have a link to that same sort of page that list the content. it is HERE

I know this is a bit OT but is there any way to allow the store and the bonus content from P11 to be linked somehow? There's so much stuff that you get and a lot of that was on my wishlist but when I check it out in the store it's not listed as being owned. If I want to buy something I have to make sure it's not something that was gifted by owning P11.

Also another question, the Girl Gear that we get with P11, that's a special version of it made just for LF? The regular version seems like it's made just for G8F.

IMO if it's just for reference then extra content is irrelevant. You just need a simple nude figure that can be posed and if you can't find a good deal on ebay for Poser Debut then I would really suggest just going for DAZ Studio. It's free and you get the G8 starter essentials for free as well. There's also the weekly freebies and you can slooooooooooooowly build up a library of clothing/hair/characters that way, but if it's just for reference than that shouldn't be a big deal.

Even though you're talking about software for model references may I also suggest a physical figure prop. Maybe one of those wooden basic shape figures or something more detailed like the Phicen/TB League figures. Someone bought me one of those Phicen figures for this exact same purpose and it's actually been super useful in my sketches.

Maybe I missed it but I don't think you mentioned what GPU you have, cause you said your CPU renders faster. Up until September of last year I was running a Xeon E3 1246 V3 which is 3.5Ghz four core instead of your 3.2Ghz, so I was in a very similar situation CPU-wise. While a great and trusty CPU that never caused a crash for the five years I was running it, rendering was abysmally slow for me. The more complex renders could take all night, so I finally bought a 970 and my render times for my bigger scenes went from 10 hours to 3 at the most. Eventually I replaced my 970 with a 1070 for rendering and depending on the scene could drastically reduce render times again.

Mine's a Nvidia GeForce GTX 960 :)

Ouch, yeah that card is definitely not a render friendly card with only 2GB and lack of compute power/cuda cores, so I can totally see why your CPU renders faster. https://openbenchmarking.org/result/1607126-LO-NVIDIAGEF99&obr_sor=y

Thank you both for all the help! I have purchased V2 and have it up and running without any issues.

That seems to get rid of that specific message, but now I get "Memoire insuffisante". I can figure out that means there's some type of memory issue but with 64gb of ram and 45.9GB being free when I get that message, it's not the system memory it's talking about.

Update, I grabbed 11.2.319 and after installing it, my render that vanished is back!

I'm running on 11.2.272 and I wish I had updated to the latest stable build, I just lost an 8 hr render that I was going to save on re-open but it's freaking gone from my recent renders.

Poser doesn't do GPU rendering.

Don't waste money on the Vega II - it is GCN architecture and that is being replaced by Navi.

You can't just say Poser doesn't do GPU rendering because that's not true. If someone new read that, they may get the wrong idea. Poser won't use the GPU on AMD cards for rendering so it's not useful to the OP, but anyone with a Pascal or lower card can enjoy the speed benefits of CUDA when rendering in SuperFly.
