Thank you!

Thank you. Downloading now. :)

Payment sent through paypal and email sent to the store.

BTW I was never sent to Paypal to make payment.

It doesn't matter that Studio uses a dll to convert all Poser content so why bring it up? Neither does it matter that tdlmake converts texture images for use in the renderer 3Delight so why bring it up.

Studio complies strictly with the wavefront object standard, Poser does not. It's neither good nor bad the way each handles it. The only problem is that Poser forgives non-standard usage whereas Studio does not.

I've spent more money here at Renderosity for Poser stuff this past year than the entire last decade. 99% of the stuff I've purchased, and it's a lot, needs little more than minor surface material changes to work just fine in Studio.

I even purchase stuff the vendor says is not compatible. They just don't want to bother learning another program and they can get away with it (mostly) because most stuff works with only minor issues that are easily overcome.

I love the renders people do with BOTH programs and think this whole conversation is silly. That's why I joined in. :) I just love silly conversations.

There have been times when I've plopped an outfit AND textures for it into my wishlist. Later I've put the outfit in my cart to purchase but the textures for it are no longer available.

Seems kind of silly and arbitrary to me.

And comparing to a physical store with limited shelf space is silly as well. You seem to be saying if something hasn't sold in xx amt of time it doesn't DESERVE to be around not that you couldn't manage to keep it. Sounds more like you're applying brick and mortar rules to digital content.

You could help matters by allowing us to sort those things to the top in our wishlists.

You could help by not limiting vendors as to how many items they can have in their stores---or create an annex for any store that has what normally would be clearance items.

You could help by not throwing all Clearance items into one pot. Who wants to look through all those pages if they only want to find Bryce stuff or backgrounds or whatever.

You could help by throwing a big clearance sale occasionally. Surprise us.

There are some darned fine products that get swept out the door and it feels like you're standing at the exit with broom in hand more than eager to do the job.

can you make the sponsored product thumbnails a little smaller? Pretty please? As it is the headings plus the sponsored take up the entire page!

I usually drop by a few times a day. I can tell at a glance if there's anything new that I didn't check out my last visit. Now I have to scroll to even see the new products.

Thanks for the changes. That helps.

I just bought one of the two new products. Everything went fine in that I got what I wanted, went through the process, and got the file.

(I haven't tried to install yet. Will do that in a bit)

I did have on problem though. I returned from the product page to click the 'add to cart' button from the main page. The item was the first one on the page. I clicked the button, a message came up saying I had added a different item to the cart. I looked down and sure enough, the two thumbnails had switched positions but it didn't show up until the page refreshed with the 'added to cart notice'.

I simply added the one I wanted, then deleted the one I didn't and continued on.

Heads up. Otherwise the process was much much better than the other day. And once in the cart it was secure pages all the way.

And did you apply this same 'logic' to Posers various owners , who did not have an in house  forum for years ( and even now have only a shanty town at RDNA )?

Heh. You've been around awhile. Didn't you participate in the mailing lists? That's how things were mostly done back then with forums being few and far between across the 'net. The Bryce and Poser lists were hopping and I spent more time on them than I ever have in the forums.

Whatever. I want the forums back too. What I find maddening and makes me mad at myself is that I keep coming online to see if anything's back yet. :)

It's like the rare times when my cable goes out. Can I clean the bathroom or watch a movie on tv, or finish a scene I've been workinng on? No way. I have to check if cable has come back every five minutes. LOL

Hi Barb!

Great to see you back!

Quote - A THOUGHT!

Maybe now is the time for all of us to actually use the software we've already purchased :D

::waves to Barb::

Good idea. But I just closed DAZ4.5 after playing with instancing for a couple of hours. Need a break :)

Quote - Its as simple as having your object selected then going to Create/Node Instances.

In the dialog box that pops up, just type a number. 

Thanks Prixat!!!

I was selecting in scene, right clicking--nada, scene menu--nada.

Create menu? DOH!!

I had reset an older file to test the RESET process.

As it turns out it is a much much older file (ps_mo076b_ChargerPose). I just tried to install and, like those above, it does not work.

The fact the problem shows up with new purchases, purchases sitting in downloads a while, and resets leads me to believe that the process of 'preparing a file for download' through moving it to a different server and/or caching is messed up for these files. Perhaps a header byte is mangled.

(I actually ran into this before, long ago, on a can-you-believe C64 talking with a quantum server.)

Quote - The instancing in 4.5 is working.

Great! I installed 4.5 a few days ago but I have yet to figure out how to do the 'instancing'.

How do you do it?

Quote - OK, mea culpa time - I had tried buying a $1 GC for Ann and I thought she had received it, but apparently not. So as far as we know GC purchases at the moment are simply not working. The orders are, however , being logged so this should be correctable. I'd still be interested in knowing email addresses and whether or not you are receiving order confirmations, as those seem to be very iffy on the new store.

I haven't purchased a gift certificate in the new store, but the problem may precede the change. My ISP is Comcast and I never got the confirmation and number of a GC  I purchased a week before the change. I only got it through cust support.

I'm also not receiving confirmations of purchases at the new store--which would be a new problem since my Comcast account received them before.

FYI and HTH
