I have noticed that the Adobe updater will make Poser freeze up. At least for me it will.

Quote - Firefox with AdBlockPlus & NoScript here, I use them because some of the other sites I go to are stuffed to the gills with flash ads & like SamT said this place is cluttered enough without the added flash junk.

Says the guy with the annoying ad in his signature. :)

Quote - If you have the no script tool, allow renderosity to use scripts but not third parties. That seems to allow posting while doing away with the pestilence.

I did as you suggested. I added renderosity.com to the white list. But it seems to block the ads now.

Thank you Rederosity for the reminder to be more cautious of our security settings.

Don't know what to do, I installed the FireFox no script thing but then I could not reply to this thread. Sigh.

So I disabled the no script  tool to reply and then the pop up came back.

I have the fire fox pop up blocker active but it's not stopping the pop up.

I'll turn on the no script tool again and stay silent from now on. GRRRR.

Yeah I agree it's annoying as Hell and really it's just a new type of Pop Up that pop up blockers cant seem to block or at best make it white with no image showing. I have a pop up blocker active because I hate Pop ups. Jeez.

I would dearly love to see the Edgar Rice Burroughs martian books done with an Avatar budget. I read the series when I was in high school and just about couldn't put them down.

Welcome back. I'm finding a learning curve with Poser 8 as well. For me the big issue is lighting.

Having a "delete material group" function in the Python interface would be really convenient.

I mean if you can create material groups in Poser, like you can using the grouping tool or accidentally applying the wrong pose. You should be able to also remove them, using the grouping tool, or a python script.

It would just be nice to have these features in the next version of Poser.

Yes a corrupted scene is the original problem, and removing the unused material groups is what we would like to do. There is another thread where solutions were offered.

The long texture list is another concern, and while sometimes you may want all of those textures available in the list, other times you don't. There is no option to clear them out.

Sometimes I'm not exactly clear so apologies if I'm not getting through.

While I'm making wishes being able to unload ALL of the textures that are no longer being called by the PZ3 file would also be a blessing,

If I load a few different PZ3 files, all of the textures from all of those PZ3 files are remembered rather or not they are actually being called. The only way I know of to clear those unused textures is to Shut Down and reload.

Thanks for the clarification ratscloset. My problem was always the unintentional application of the incorrect MAT pose.

I think Natolii is right in that having a lot of un-needed textures loaded seems to affect Posers performance or at the least uses up valuable memory and slows down the loading time.

Having a "delete material group" function in the Python interface would be a blessing in future versions if you can swing that. :)

Glad I could point you in the right direction. :)

I think your referring to the same problem I brought up in this thread.

There are a couple of solutions mentioned.

That's right Dizzi, MAT poses are really kind of a hack. But they are still what's supplied most often by the venders.

I would prefer to deal with Material Collections as that's really where materials belong I think.

Thank you guys.
