Does anyone know of any updates to EZskin3? I

I've been using it for a while with Poser 12 with no issues, but recently the renders involving skin have been extremely flat - as if the model has a heavy application of make-up powder from head to toe. There is no normal skin shininess in direct light.

I can render the same scene in PP 2014, with EZskin2 ant it looks great. Any ideas? Thanks!

OK, got it! Thanks for the info, my friend!

How in the world do you pay for an order with a gift certificate??? I just used reward points to purchase a $50 gift cert. I have the items I want in my cart, but when I click on the payment link, it only shows my PayPal as the payment method. I don't want that, I want to use the gift cert. But I see no place to select that.

OK..... I figured out what I was doing wrong... And I should have known better. I was adding the hash character (#) in front of the IP address like in all the lines above it. That hash indicates whatever follows is a comment and to ignore it. I'd forgotten that. My memory retention lately is about as long as a grasshopper fart.

Thanks for the help, guys!

No problem, Rick.

I tried several times, with and without a re-start; didn't make a bit of difference. Host file is back to the unmodified version. Not a biggie.. All I have to do is click the pop-up and it goes away. PP2014 still works normally. It's just a minor annoyance..

Finally! Something that's not my fault! WoooooHooo! 😆

Tried a couple times, but I still get the pop-up. 😥 Thanks for trying. I'll just click it away when it appears.

Hi, everyone!

I just wanted to take a moment to say a big "Thank You" to Mr. Rene G. Mata for letting the rest of us post our 1 or 2 uploads a week in what apparently is his private gallery, judging by the 19 - 20 or so images he's uploaded today (includes the multi-images per upload). Better stay busy, Mr. Mata - looks like CupcakeOfDoom and a couple others are catching up to you.... Enjoy those points!

Sarcasm? ME?? Nah..... 😉

I'm outta here!

@ maneki_neko:

I read your post, and I do understand where you're coming from. Especially with the "snapshots" of pretty much nothing most of the time. As a photographer myself (I have worked commercially), you are 100% correct that most of it is not 'photography.'  I've stopped looking at most of the utter crap in the 'freestuff' area. Photos of derelict buildings, cracks in walls, close-up of bushes, etc. Again, all done in the interest of getting those reward points, and not providing anything actually useful. Whatever.

So much has changed here, but one of the biggest problems I've noted (I've been here since 2009 or so..) Is that about 95% of the membership here is just so un-involved. There are still a precious few that can actually take a few minutes out of their day to make any kind of relevant comment on others' artwork. But not like the years past.

I was going to post another image of the repetitive 8-image floods from a couple of individuals that do it daily, but why bother? No one seems to give a damn anyway, so why waste my time? I'll just scroll past it, and comment on art that had some thought and creativity put into it.

And I'll keep posting my own work as well, just in case anyone gives a damn. I'm done with all this other 💩.

2 uploads a day with 4 multiple images max. per upload, where every image gets points... or 4 uploads with 2 multiples allowed... 8 images a day with reward points and everyone is happy

O...M....G!!!

I just noticed I misspelled "quantity" above... 😱

NO. That was not intentional.... 😂

There are at least 4 individuals that do this on a daily basis. It's getting old.

not all of them might be doing it for the same reason...

Aww, man... please don't go away mad. I could ask him if he can do something but that's not my job + I don't like telling others, especially friends, what they can or cannot do... but most of all: if there would be an award for being lazy, I'd send someone to pick it up for me!! LMAO!

Have a lovely evening, Rod.

PS: Friend him and you have a word with him lol

I like your idea above! 👍👍

Have an awesome evening yourself, good sir! 😁

Now I feel bad.... 🤔

I'm really not trying to hurt anyone's feelings, or be an asshole. It just gets old seeing the same stuff every day by the same 4 - 5 folks. However as of now, I'm just going to back off - I doubt that anything's going to change anyway. As I stated in my original post (I cannot seem to delete it):

"Now, I am not trying to pick on any one particular member, nor violate any copyrights with this screenshot. If it breaks any rules, you can delete it, slap my hands, and I'll go to my room like a good boy. I just wanted to illustrate what is being discussed (or possibly just cussed). My suggestion would be to either limit the daily uploads to 4 - 5, OR award points to only the first 4 uploads by the same individual."

Just a suggestion.

Have a good day, all.

"Pun intended..." 🤣👍 Good one! Made me chuckle...

Let's reward QUALITY rather than quantitty..

OK, this image is an example of the kind of nonsense we all have to deal with on a daily basis:

Eight images (the current limit) all essentially the same. Basically it's a matter of assembling a quick scene, hit 'render,' change the pose, repeat 7 more times. 80 points! Woo-Hoo. Same scene, same light, just pose our well - proportioned lady, upload and get those points.

There are at least 4 individuals that do this on a daily basis. It's getting old.

I'll go away now.... 😉
