Something like that would be fantastic!! My geom dir is almost a gig and a half and I know some of it is no longer used. It would sure make life easier to have a program do that for us!!!

I am a "merchant" here at 'rosity. I have several items that i sell, and i also regularly contribute free stuff (which most of us "merchants" do). i always try 500% to ensure quality of my items. to this end, i have between 5 and 12 people who beta test my stuff. only once have i gotten a unanimous vote of 100% quality. most times, each tester will have something different to say, and i'm continuously refining my product, until it's submitted, which takes anywhere from 1 month to 3. i have an "inventory" of stuff in various stages of construction, testing, and refining - and i'm pretty sure that's how a lot of the merchants operate. so it may seem like stuff is being "fired off" for sale, but really, it's not, in most cases. i don't ask my beta testers if they like it....just if it works properly and if it's all there. however, human nature is such that i am always told whether they like it or not. when a problem occurs with one of my items (which has only happened twice - before i found my great beta testers) i rectify it immediately. yes, that's after the fact, but sometimes, that's the only way to find out there IS a problem. as consumers, you should expect quality merchandise. as merchants, we should provide quality merchandise. if only it was a perfect world :( and a review forum would be good.......but everyone would have to be exeedingly careful. there are so many ways to understand the written word, and not everyone interprets things the same way. one bad review - whether deserved or not- could ruin an artist, and conversely, you may get someone "plugging" an item to boost someone's sales. but i would welcome some form of feedback, as i'm sure any artist would. and the store's decision not to allow refunds is the only logical one. once an item is downloaded, whether it's "good" or not, is on the purchaser's system. the item can't be returned, like with a tangible good to a regular store. nor is it the store's fault if someone doesn't like something they bought...if you didn't like the look of it in the ad picture, why buy it? and if it looked a lot better in the picture than on your system, please, contact the artist! most merchants (i for one) don't do post render work on the item being sold. if it's a texture, how it looks in the picture is what it is - no touching up to hide seams, etc. anyway, this is a good thread, and it's always good to hear from the people who buy the products being sold - even if they are critique-ing those products :)

not a problem :)

as in "big bad poser john"? hehehehe .... my wife calls our dork "clayton" course, "dirk" would work... the poser dirk? John is my brotherinlaw's name.... and come to think of it, dork to john is a completely obvious choice LOL!!

sorry trav, i only have the long nail morph. hope you find them.... i'm sure you will, i mean, almost everyone has something of yours, and if they don't, it's because they don't know about you :) (course, those who don't know about you are probably not part of this community lol)

don't panic yet dunga :) staff is excellent with customer support here (btw, you'd probably get a faster response posting this in the Store Contact forum). If worst comes to worst, they will email you a copy of mike. so hang in there :) it'll all come around fine :)

i believe you are supposed to send your mailing address along with your first submission to the store. although i could be wrong :) that's what i was told anyway. and i think to change categories, you would email store@renderosity.com and ask tammy or jenifer to do this. unless russell and team sneaked in a new feature while i wasn't looking lol, which is entirely possible, since i didn't even clue in to the gallery changes for a whole day and a half! hehehe hope this helped a wee, at least :) Styxx

that's an excellent idea ironbear! i've always thought that the words "limited edition" and "signed by the artist" were big sellers (people tend to buy just for that, never mind if it's good work or not!) and i think the print idea is going to be a big hit, whoever does it :)

On both accounts, I agree, A Poser "Oscars" would be a fantastic idea!! and a top freestuff contributer would be most just. Great ideas guys! Styxx

Just select your camera (whichever one your using for the render) and turn the lens up to something above 80... I use 120mm lens.. this avoids the "fisheye" distortion. Hope that helps.. Happy rendering! Styxx

Our blessings go to you, your wife and your beautiful son. I am sure all will be well. Never underestimate the human instinct to survive :) With best wishes, Styxx & Chijwi

thanks bloodsong! i haven't tried the bulges yet, so i'll give that a go :) sorry bout the tag (i did, but i didn't notice that it didn't actually tag it)

What size would the image have to be rendered at to get a good print out? I have an image I made as a bookcover that would look wicked as a poster!! I would definatly be intrested!! Great price too! Shipping would be extra yes?

i think pay pal is a good idea, as long as it's an option. like, you could choose whether you want the cheque, after whatever minimum (over $20), or the paypal option. for me, it doesn't cost me anything to cash a u.s. cheque, but the exchange is excellent. however, with the paypal, i'd lose on the exchange. but that's just me. so long as we get the option, i'm happy!

For modeling, I will always stand up for Rhino.. when I bought it, I had to go a month without eating but after learning how to use it, I felt it was worth every hunger cramp... lol... As for rendering.. I like Bryce4, it is fairly cheap and makes importing your poser folks a breeze. :) Good luck and happy shopping! Styxx
