Store is broken as well. You cannot add anything to your cart

Same problem for me - you cannot add anything to your cart. Popup with Undefined comes up.

You can also spawn a morph in the dress at frame 200, Then start a new sim with that morph set to 1. After the sim has finished, set that morph back to 0. (The 2nd simulation already takes the shape of the dress into account, so you to reset the morph.)

Facts are based on verifyable figures and independent reports. Yours are just opinions

This isn't going to make me wildly popular (not in the good way). In my opinion, as far as characters are concerned, the only things needed to make a good figure are:

1. Give the artist time. Separate the figure from the software release, that way, they aren't trying to build a new figure with broken or incomplete tech.

2. Keep it simple. Don't over complicate the mesh rigging and don't try to utilize every new bell and whistle in the application because you're mandated to (again, see above).

3. Ignore the community. Sorry folks, we can't please you. Any of you, as long as we actually try to listen to you because you all want different things from a figure. The only thing you all agree on is that you want a figure that looks good and bends well but what looks good and what bends well seems to vary from user to user when you see what you compare stuff to. Trying to please you all while trying to make a "generic" figure is not the way to go. Also, many of you wouldn't know a real person if one came up and slapped you in the face. I legit posted a scan of a woman's head during the creation process of the last figures in a private forum and was told by testers that it didn't look realistic enough. So...yeah.

4. As mentioned above, avoid the "generic" figure approach. Don't try to make an everyman/woman again. Obviously that's not what the user base wants, so make a figure that has character. It not only will make the character interesting to look at (and thus desirable to use) but it will allow the artist to care a bit more about the work. Hard to get excited about working on a generic figure whose sole purpose is to be morphed into anything OTHER than what you originally made.

5. Don't release the figure until you have in not only clothing from the artist and 3 to 5 vendors done but also 5 or 6 vendors lined up for follow up clothing. Ensure that any content made after that figures release is to scale with the figure, so that there is supporting content beyond just clothing. AVOID THE SKIMPY CLOTHING. I get it, most of you like attractive people, that's great but it's not terribly useful and won't make Poser terribly useful outside certain circles, ultimately leading to its demise. So get over your fetishes or at least, don't be too upset if the character doesn't come with a lot that supports your fetishes. Poser is a joke in the wider CG community not because the app is weak or the figures suck but because its user base tends to make soft porn. Real talk.

Last thing and I'm out: You guys are the hearts blood of the community. If you band together to make something work, it will. You have to understand going in that nothing is going to be perfect for everyone. That's an impossibility. Vicky wasn't, the new Daz figures aren't and sure as hell the Poser figures aren't, so I don't know why you are holding to some standard that it must be all things to all people as thought the first thing you all want isn't a morph to change it from the base appearance anyway. Instead, start a gofundme page, pool together some cash and pay an artist to make a figure for the community. Make the only requirements that the mesh be dense enough to morph without the need for subdivision, that it has topology that supports animation and that it's visually appealing TO THE ARTIST. Not the community. This will be a sure fire way to end up with what you all actually want. Too many cooks spoil the soup. We've seen that already. I lived through it and thankfully came out the other side unscathed - relatively. As long as the mesh topo holds up to animation, the eyes and lips have thickness and the base textures are decent without a lot of baked in light, you'll have a figure you can use to do what you want. So don't wait for Smith Micro to do it. Be the change you want to see.

ok, that's it from the peanut gallery. Gonna go back to making games now. Peace out and if I offended anyone I'm sorry for that. I'm just being honest with you guys like I always try to be.

Great post, Teyon I completely agree

MightyMike's products in the Poser VGS sale are clearly marked as DS only and do not come in a format Poser can read and have no poser materials. They clearly do not belong in a Poser product sale.

Like I said, the morphs are located in the Jaw bone, not in the head. I did not expect them to be there, they are not in the head where you would expect them.

I totally missed those! It indeed has expressions.

Unfortunately expressions are still missing. But it is a very nice figure.

Thank you for picking my image for the staff picks! Congrats to all other artists as well!

I tried to understand what it does, but I don't get it.

" OpenPose represents the first real-time multi-person system to jointly detect human body, hand, and facial keypoints (in total 130 keypoints) on single images."

What can I do with this information?

Personally, Id like to applaud Blackhearted, for defending an ethical standpoint. For it is far too rare in this biz. I appreciate his honesty, and even his bluntness. And if anyone chooses to avoid his amazing products based on all that, they are quite frankly, dumb.

I honestly have no dog in the fight, I am merely a spectator on the topic. But had I been more involved, I might have felt misled. I'm also really surprised renderosity would allow such filtering to a competitive website... that in and of itself seems wrong to me. I think its quite magnanimous of them to allow it.

And can I just say... all this war on daz stuff is silly nonsense. The only people dividing the community, are the ones who maintain this position. We are all in this for the same reason: Coz we love 3D. Lets keep it about that love, and less about versus.

Personal attacks in a public forum are against TOS at Renderosity.

Apart from that it is a very one side view of what happened. There is a free base figure on both Rendo and CGB, The simultaneous release of the final figure on both Rendo and CGB might still happen,

I have no problem Blackhearted expressing his concerns about erogenesis business ethics, but I do have a problem with him repeating this again and again without taking this to email or PM.

This bug has been in there unnoticed for 10 years and is being fixed.

Pretty much high impact like the security problems in Windows, Mac, Unix and other platforms.

I am more worried about the security flaws which hackers might use and have not been identified. Could be in any CPU, OS, or app.

PE works great with Octane as well....

How large is that scene? And does switching to SreeD mode make any difference?

Here a PE render with a dynamic v4 cloth.
