Faces of Death? You should really try watching them in marathon succession. Either you'll be totally desensitized to violence and death, or you'll get totally creeped out. I started off desensitized, but then got creeped. Life's odd. Newc

Just don't name her Webbie Tookay, like that Steven Stahlberg model. God, what an atrocity that was. I would research Japanese names and find one that meant something that I could identify with (like most English/American names have a basis in Greek, and that word has a meaning). I mean, you wouldn't want to give her a name that means "Your mother is an ape" or "One who consumes fecal matter", y'know? Then again....;-P Newc

You can also load each source figure (the ones you want the morph from) and set them to zero ecxept for the morph(s) you want, then export that body part as an obj, then load the figure you want those morphs on (destination) and Add Morph Taget to the same parts (like the head). I'm in the middle of doing that right now. I have four male heads and am going to put them all on one figure as morphs. Two are Asian, one is African American, and one is a better Honky face. I've used Morph Manager a little bit, and it's actually pretty simple: Just open the Source file in the Left window, the Target file in the Right window, and double-click on the Morphs you want in the Left and they'll jump into the correct spot on the Right. Hip morphs automatically go to the Hip area, and so on. Newc

Buy Poser or the Monkey gets it? Hmm, okay you win, I'll buy it. Newc

Ooops! Forgot that it would actually work ;-P the line is: (IMG SRC="http://www.ecsis.net/~striker/Beam.jpg") But you'll have to replace the ( and ) with the < and > Newc (King of Oopsies)

Diane - To include an image in an existing thread, copy and paste this line and change the name of the image: Just change the address and image name to yours. This HTML script means Image (IMG) and Source (SRC). The name of the image you specify tells the HTML where to look for it, so you will have to have the image uploaded to your website beforehand.

I had trouble as well, but someone emailed it to me. I have posted it to my site at www.ecsis.net/~striker/Nicej2.zip, to help others with this problem. I certainly hope frederic doesn't mind me doing so. The only link to it is in this post, since I am so slow about updating my pages, so there's no danger of mass downloads at the moment.

Why does censorship always come up at one of these threads? There's no mention of censorship or deleted posts by DAD. He said he was having trouble posting to the FunStuff, not having his stuff deleted. I realize it's fairly common for sites to panic and start deleting stuff, and I'm also aware that as forums and their leadership change hands so do certain aspects of it, but in the short few months I have been here I have not seen anything that was done without a good reason being given at the same time (as in within the same 30 minutes). Willow and the others have ALWAYS (during my time here) justified their actions with good reasoning and sometimes lengthy explanations. So please, let's refrain from putting words in someone else's thread, OK? Try to stick with the original topic if possible. I realize that things get heated around here, and tempers flare, but type your reply, read it a few times, go get something to drink, go to the can, then come back and maybe your anger will have subsided enough to re-think your message before you click the button to post it. If not, post it on that new Gripes board (if it's still there). Newc

Pan- Lara Croft is a registered trademark of Eidos Interactive. So to get around that pesky lawsuit business (which may or may not happen, but why take a chance) there is a Poser figure named Cara Loft that is dressed similarly. Although any lawyer can look at the Poser figure and see that she looks nothing like Eidos' property: Her figure is more realistic. Newc (skirting the law, skirting the law)

Technically, any plasma projectile (such as a laser cannon or pistol blast) would hit the transparent shield and either be refracted and dispersed through the shield or, if equipped with an electromagnetic plasma collection system, would absorb the energy and transfer it to the soldier's weapon systems. But if the shield were concave with the point facing the bearer, then the blast would be focused to that point and the bearer would be toast.

Picture it: You always see campers (like on TV or in movies) telling spooky stories around a campfire (like the old Hook-handed serial killer story), but what about some computer "geeks" sitting around a glowing monitor in a dark room telling their worst stories (like the virus that even formatted their processor down to a 386)? It'd be great. Newc

It may have something to do with AOL, if that is where your site is, and if you are linking the file to the FS from AOL. It seems that AOL's security protocol to guard against warez sites affects all its members, regardless of the material (i.e.: everyone's guilty). Please reconsider your decision and let the Forum Admins see if they can work around the problem. Chances are it's just a bug in the scripts. I can understand how it would seem like you were unwelcome, and with no explanation to boot. One thing I have noticed about the Forum is that when you've been kicked (or otherwise are in danger of being dropped) they send out an email or post a note here addressed to you with an explanation of the problem. They at least give you a chance to repent and correct the error, so maybe it's just a glitch. Newc

Neat! I don't see that transparent shield protecting against much more than pasta sauce, though. But hey, that's Science Fiction for ya' Newc

Oh, yeah? Try rendering (to disk) a 6000 x whatever scene at 600 DPI in Bryce 4 with lots of transparency and reflection and only a P233, then after 48 hours straight it's only 17 percent done! I gave up and dropped it down to 2880. It's been going about 12 hours now and is already 18 percent. Newc

How about making each part of Figure B a sub-part of each part of Figure A? RightCollar B under RightCollar A IK chain, then do the Shoulders, Forearm, etc. Just guessing, of course. I haven't touched that are of P4 yet. Newc
