The copy I downloaded keeps giviung me messages from someone named "captain howdy." Does that mean anything? ~L~ Blessed Be y'all. :)

You can also remove the background in Photoshop with the background eraser tool or the extract command.

Gee...sorry about that. I actually just textured it the one time, it must have flipped the other side on its own. I'm actually a Pagan too... but this doesn't bother me. If I remember correctly, there is another pentagram in the free stuff somewhere...in .3ds format I think. That may suit your needs, but you'll need to texture it yourself. Thanks for letting me know... if I can manage to fix that problem, I'll let you know.

Pretty cool!

I'm still of the opinion that and eye for an eye only makes the whole world blind, to paraphrase Ghandi. Interesting that you bring up Pearl Harbor... we needed a good excuse to get into that war, got us out of the depression, didn't it? And if I read the history books right, the Japanese did bomb Pearl Harbor in an unprovoked and horrible act... but we dropped atomic bombs on 2 of their cities. Somehow I think that we overstepped our ultimate retaliation in that one. It's pretty funny that we're doing all this arguing about something that none of us can do a damn thing about. I'm not going to change my opinion though and I'm not going to be a blind flag waver like so much of the rest of the country. We'll see what happens. But I can almost guarantee that there will still be terrorism and terrorists in the world when it's all said and done. From time to time those people will choose American targets. Perhaps I have higher ideals that are far from reality and perhaps violence begetting violence is the only way and perhaps I am foolish for not thinking it's a good thing that we're raining death on people that have nothing to do with the horrors that happened here. But I'm no more foolish than anyone that thinks the actions undertaken today are going to change a thing. Buddha32 now closes his mouth and waves his little American flag like a good citizen.

Wow... look how easy it is to get people riled up. All I'm doing is expressing an opinion...so sorry it doesn't agree with yours, but it can be dangerous sometimes in this land of the free to express an unpopular opinion. Of course I realize that our targets are primarily military this time and other times... but you can't tell me that no innocents are getting hurt in these attacks. No matter how much technology advances, the bombs don't always hit military targets. And you're also right about the gulf war.. it was not about ousting Hussein or implementing democracy in Kuwait. It was about protecting American oil intrests abroad. We lost a record low number of servicepeople in that war (although it turned out to be more than was reported at the time), but it was still unacceptable in my opinion that a hundred or so kids came home in bags so that the prices at the gas pumps wouldn't rise. This too shall pass, I suppose. I seriously doubt that it will do any good, however, that's all I am saying. I guess we just have to wait and see... and you people need to chill out...maybe try decaf.

Actually I do have children. And of course I don't want anything to happen to them, that's a moronic question. Let me pose a question to you. How would you like a bomb to suddenly fall from the sky and demolish your home, kill your family because of something done by someone that happens to live in your country? Maybe even someone protected by your government? It's not your fault, you had nothing to do with it, and the bomb that kills you or your kids doesn't even get the person that comitted the inital act, doesn't unseat the governmemnt that supports him... all it does is kill an innocent family. People like you scare me.

I wish I could share the optimism and the blind belief that the United States would never harm innocent people. It's just not the case, however. We are dropping bombs and firing missiles into another country, a country where people live... people that have nothing to do with Ben Laden or the Taliban. It is an act of war and innocents get harmed in war whether we like it or not. I remember in 1986 we bombed the cities of Tripoli and Benghazi in response to Lybia's purported support of terrorism. Did we topple the Lybian government? No. Did we oust or kill Mohamar Khadaffi, the leader of Lybia and sworn enemy of the US? No...he's still there. What we did was destroy a lot of buildings and kill a lot of citiczens, including Khadaffi's baby daughter. I simply can not support the use of such tactics... especially if, in the end, they are not going to accomplish anything. If this military action proves as fruitless as the attack on Lybia (Khadaffi still in power), the Gulf War (Hussein still in power & Kuwait still under dictatorial rule), or even our prior attack on Afghanistan (after the bombing of US Embassys in Africa), then all it is is more senseless waste of time, money, and human life.

I use Ares Network (www.aresnetwork.com - I think) $9.95/mo for 100MB. I found them through hostsearch (www.hostsearch.com) where you can find a large number of hosts based on different criteria

Ooooooh you guys should see it! There's gold lining the floors and the walls and we eat lobster thermador and we puff on cigars while we chuckle in our elitest way about how much better we are than everyone else and how we should pay no mind to the crowd gathering around the guillotine and the pounding on the door below....

Maybe I am missing something, but they both seem to be just a list of links. I guess I don't get what is so important about a list of links. If he copied your list it shows laziness and underhandedness on his part I suppose, but you claim "hours of research" - doesn't that translate simply to "surfing?" If he stole your list and the way you presented it, sure that sucks I guess, but you really shouldn't sweat the small stuff. I have been designing web pages for some time and I have seen templates of my designs used on other sites, I just take it as a compliment and get on with my life. Just my opinion though.

DAZ does offer the freely redistributable Vicky2 P4 model at their site. She doesn't have the Vicky morphs, but is prettier than the standard P4 woman.

Deep Paint treats anything imported from Photoshop as a single image, ad disregards layers. When exported back to Photoshop, the layer will be correct, but it doesn't help if you need the stuff below your layer for a guide when painting in Deep Paint. What I do is copy the image and send the copy to Deep Paint, then I put the newly deep painted image on top of my existing image as a new layer. It's a pain in the butt to take the extra steps, but it works.

Too cute! I love the baby dragon, reminds me a bit of Gon, that Japanese cartoon dino/dragon/lizard thing that made such a splash in Tekken3!

They look great! I use Photoshop mainly as a tool in combination with Poser, Bryce, Vue, etc... I don't know if Photoshop specific "backdrops" would be of interest... but if they could be sized to be appropriately used as backdrops in Poser, that may be something else entirely.... Or, a combination...hi-res PSD files and the same files on a smaller scale (500x500?) as Poser backdrops... I might be interested in something like that.... just thoughts...
