Quote - > Quote - The minor things I have like the rotate tool as default tool is a mess, I reported to SM.
With P7 I had more probs without SR1.
Yu can set the preferred tool in your preferences. Select the translate tool and click "save state (or whatever it's called in the preferences where you chose between launch to preferred state and launch to factory state :) (I'm rendering now so I can't just check)
Same as getting rid of Andy - although he's cute. I prefer to start with a blank scene.
Trekkie, this was of course the first thing I tried. Doesn't work. Goes back to the default rotate tool on next launch. This apparently is not one of things saved when you set a new preferred state.
Thread: Terradome | Forum: Poser - OFFICIAL
I just bought Terra Dome. For some reason I didn't get a coupon from RDNA, but it was already 30% off, or about $21. In response to the person who thought there should be more "for the price," I was surprised because I thought he or she had paid $100 or something!!
I agree that the tutorials are too skimpy and basic. But they do get you started.
One problem I noticed is that the ground displaces far up into a figure's feet, even when using the DD (Displacement Damper) materials as instructed. I had to make several trials and errors before I could get Vicky to stand on the ground in the render. In order to do so, she had to float several inches above ground in the preview. This process seems to be necessary for each scene, though I suppose you could jot down exactly how high a figure must float above a particular terrain in order to be above-ground in the render.
I really like the sky textures. The grass and ground textures, as always are a bit too low-res in the interests of keeping the texture maps reasonable. Looks fine as long as you're not focused in too closely on the ground.
Thread: Has anyone tested Poser 6, 7 or 8 on Mac OS 10.6 | Forum: Poser - OFFICIAL
There's already a very recent thread on P8 and Snow Leopard. I posted a problem there regarding the Library not showing the full contents of a folder and being unable to navigate in Open, Save and Search dialog windows (this latter bug is true with both P7 and P8 under Snow Leopard).
Thread: Poser 8 ruins my Poser fun | Forum: Poser - OFFICIAL
Regarding my post above and the library not showing all items in a folder, that appears to be an incompatibility with Mac OS 10.6 Snow Leopard. The behavior in P8 doesn't exist in OS 10.5.
Reported to SM, but with all the bugs to address on the PC side I am not hopeful of a quick fix for a Mac-only issue.
Thread: Any Mac users using Snow Leopard yet? | Forum: Poser - OFFICIAL
Quote - Poser 8 seems to work fine under Snow Leopard, other than the bugs discussed at length in these threads.
I spoke too soon. Under 10.6 Snow Leopard, both Poser 7 and 8 cannot navigate properly in Open, Save and Search dialog windows. That is, you cannot click to drill down into folders.
Also,under P8 but not P7 in Mac OS 10.6, the library does not show everything in a folder or category. Unless the folder has only a few items, the library shows a much-reduced listing. Clicking refresh generates a new number of items, seemingly picked at random, but still not complete. This issue is not present in Mac OS 10.5.
Bugs reported to SM, but I am not confident they will respond quickly to the Snow Leopard issues. There are too many other bugs and design issues affecting everyone, and the PC side is where the money is.

Thread: So what's supposed to happen when I click refresh? | Forum: Poser - OFFICIAL
I don't see a question mark, but I do get incomplete libraries. If a folder has 50 items in it, the P8 library might initially show 12, Click refresh, get 20. Click refresh again, get 8. Click refresh enough times and you might eventually see the item you want among the truncated list. Argh.
I will search the sea of P8 comments for posts on this topic, but it might be worthwhile to make a Sticky for answered P8 questions.
Thread: Poser 8 ruins my Poser fun | Forum: Poser - OFFICIAL
I'm not crashing with P8 Mac on an 8-core Mac Pro... except sometimes when I'm foolish enough to step outside Poser to check my email or something. Then it might crash. Poser does not like you to be unfaithful and look at other women when you're with her! This is true with P7 Mac as well.
But no crashes while rendering or working within the program. Maybe the PC version is more buggy that way, due to wonky video drivers and whatnot.
My frustrations with P8 have to do with the interface and the library. I love how all the panels can be rearranged and docked to have a more efficient workspace. But the price of that is that everything is now too damn small. The text, the buttons, the icons, everything has been shrunk to create more screen real estate for the main preview and render windows.
The flaw with the tiny library icons has been well discussed and will be addressed, though I wish that patch would come out soon. But also, the scroll bar in the library is so narrow has to be difficult to grasp with the mouse. Which is a problem in a library that forces you to do so much manual scrolling. AND the library does not see everything in a folder. Refreshing changes how many items can be seen, but in large folders you still don't get everything. The number of items revealed on each refresh seems to be random.
These issues force me to most of my work in P7, switching to P8 for its very quick renders on the final hi-res product. I don't like that because the windows get resized and there are "error" messages about unexpected version numbers, but with its out-of-the-gate flaws P8 really leaves me no choice.
Thread: Figures (.cr2) vs. Props (.pp2) -- just change the extension? | Forum: Poser - OFFICIAL
I wasn't referring to conforming clothing, though some of that may have been delivered as .pp2 as well. For example, the Mini Convertible car is installed from P8 Content as a .pp2 prop, even though it loads into the scene as a figure with rigging. There are other P8 content examples like that. I can only imagine that SM told the 3rd-party developers it was no problem to do that.
I agree tI wish they hadn't stuck the obj's in the Props folders with some of these things. That reminds me of some primitive, amateur stuff I've downloaded.
