Question two  actually... how does one manually point PP to use p7's runtime ?

Thank you Tashar :)   That will certainly make my life easier... then again I have to find some room for PP now :D

Now I have read through the whole thread and maybe, just maybe, this information passed through my skull hidden in a flock of lighting/collada/lowers figures oriented posts, or maybe it wasn't even there in the first place, but...
Having a P7 installed with an indecently large runtime in there, can I reuse this runtime "as is" in Poser Pro? I would go for the software if it provides decent improvements in terms of bug correction and lighting quality (plus that que rendering is sort of tempting) but if I have to reistall everything I will first have to cry a bit in my corner :)

Great tip, Bagginsbill, thanks a lot. That's exaclty what I was looking for. :)

thanks for the tips :) I'll try that in the morning :D
These fire effects are nice, too... just a bit to fiery :p

actually they're spots. I purchased the "ultimate" fire kit from romanceworks today :-)

Gold tassel has kindly sorted this out for me, looks like you won't have to worry any further about this Mendyh ^^ Thanks again for your kind assistance.

Thank you for that quick answer Mendy :) I emailed Goldtassel, and will wait for the answer ^^

Yeah but I'm the Saint of All That's Kinky :3 My humble opinion about this whole thing is, nobody needs any self proclaimed religious institution to tell them what is good or bad. Faith is after all a very personal and subjective matter, and you never know if the guy telling you what to do might have or not a few loose condos in his little motherboard. That's where faith and religions part in my book. Not being a religious person myself, I still respect that a catholic won't want to sit at a table of 13 guests, I'll respect that a muslim won't eat with his left hand, and that a shintoist will never use a full treetrunk pillar upside down when building a house. When it comes to sexuality, I dearly believe that as long as one's little fantasies don't enter the socially harmful category, nobody has a right to brandish any religious symbol under the guy/girl's nose and say "you are a PERVERT and this is BAD". A french comedian, long dead now, named Pierre Desproges, said this: "Some people can't stand it when on tv they hear words such as cock, ass, cum or fuck. They whine, they yell, they write letters to the tv channels. Hey, morons, switch channels or even shut it down. That's what the button is for." Whoever branded Poser as a tool for perverts obviously didn't locate the button...

You mean there are some people who are totally unperverted? With no fantasies, no lust, nothing? Just... drones? EEEEEEEEEW! So sick :D Everyone have a good holiday and abuse the xmas meal ok? :p

Puritanism: That stingy and unpleasant feeling that someone, somewhere in the world, might just be happy. Puritans hate happiness in others. And those calling other pervs usually howl with the wolves in order to feel righteous despite their own little "secrets", which is lame. Guys... let the ignorants and the frustrated whine and just go on with the good work. They can just drown in their own stupidity.

Aristotelician philosophy defines art as imitation, and even though this is a rather narrowing definition of it, it partially works. Most artists, except for those dealing in non-figurative art, imitate an existing element/set of elements in order to express something. If Picasso glueing teapots and used shoes together can be called an artistic work, if Duchamp could get the art community's recognition for his "ready-made" movement, if anyone can see a bunch of Campbell Soup cans as art, then, prefabricated and slightly altered elements and lighting like used in Poser deserve the same recognition. Do not let anyone insult your art. Those who usually do so are biased towards Poser not because Poser offers a somehow limited scope in their eyes: they simply put an emphasis on how the tool THEY use, should it be Maya, 3DS or whatever else, is so superior in their eyes. Why do they do it? Because they have a true veneration for their tool? Hell no. They don't have stock options in Maya either. Boasting about your tool is somehow gloating about yourself, so they think they'll make themselves looking better by talking bad of you. That's ego masturbation, and nothing more. Let them rot and keep going :)

Just making sure that if you hit the close button for poser and then cancel, it will indeed CANCEL the closing, that would be a nice feature. So far it just closes no matter what.

I haven't found a good tutorial on how to make a MS agent from a poser figure, nor a wide range of voice files (kids, adults, cartoonish voices, etc) Any links come into mind?

how to set them to work on a transmap?
