LOL @ PhilC ;)

Adobe Encore also burns DVDs and does a very good job. (I have yet to burn a coaster) After making all the animated menus and such, you just encode it to the DVD. For professional results, this product does probably the best job of any I have seen. Of course, the price tag is a bit high and may turn most home users to other means. Also, if you own other Adobe products (such as Premiere Pro, or Photoshop) they can be used for much more creative DVDs. And with Premiere, if you have set bookmarks for chapters in your videos it carries over to Encore as chapter points. This makes it very easy when setting up menus later and pointing buttons at chapters. With Photoshop, you can create your own buttons and animate them from within Encore. Of course, as with all Adobe products, functionalty such as this does not come cheaply. If you are just looking to archive material, than Nero is what I use for regular burning.

I use Adobe Encore for all of my DVD authoring needs. It integrates perfectly with all adobe programs and you can even use photoshop to design backgrounds and buttons.

@Dave-So: The new breed of worms automatically attack ports and security holes in the operating system. If there are computers on your network that have been infected by these, they automatically begin broadcasting the viruses across the network. Once you connect a newly installed PC without a firewall or antivirus software, you will be attacked as soon as you connect.

Just to let you know that it is in the Norse expansion set of the Daz Vikings pak.

Another thing that might help you out with Poser, is if your machine uses hyperthreading, turn it off in the BIOS when you boot your computer. Poser does does thread itself out, and can only use 50% of the CPU if hyperthreading is turned on.

If you want Poser to take advantage of the entire CPU and speed up its rendering process, you can shut off hyperthreading in the BIOS when you boot your computer. This will make it use the process as a single CPU rather than as two, and than Poser can use the entire thing. It will slow down what you can do with the computer for other programs that utilize the threading.

Thanx a bunch man!!!

I find it very useful, even Poser 5's multiple runtimes can become very disorganized. This program just helps to control the chaos it can become when the library gets really big.

With PBoost you can speed up your process of building a scene. After organizing your runtimes, it makes it very easy to switch between the new runtimes you have created. This makes it very efficient when looking for items in a large library. Also I have to agree with aodor, Correct Reference Pro, makes a huge difference when it comes to speeding up Poser, by making corrections, and deleting incorrect references.

I know that DAZ has some sci-fi guns available in free stuff, they may work for you...

You can buy the Tailor tool from DAZ to resize clothing, which is one way to do it...

Turn texture filtering off, I know it makes a huge difference for my body textures when it is turned off. It is good to leave it on for certain hair items that will not render properly unless it is turned on, but does distort the body textures. HTH
