EDIT: BTW, neck5 is selected in all the pics, except for the one with the center points. The head is selected in that one.

What really irritates me about this model is that the arms, hands, etc perform perfectly, without needing any altering at all. But even the bones for everything else gets thrown all over the place >=/ BTW, I realigned the bones to match their groups. Also, the spines on the head are props, so they're not affected by the JPs at all. I used to have them as part of the head, but they deformed badly because they wouldn't fit in the joint area.

They do? I didn't see it. I know they have Draconis Rex, but it's not free.

Since dragons are a favorite Poser item, here's all the people I know of that have dragons available here at Rendo. Search for their names to find them (Searching for dragon yeilds a lot of unrelated stuff)

Free:
Valandar - Land Dragon, and Land Dragon Wings
konan - Ultimate Dragon (static model. They have three on their site, and a jointed one for sale.)
bobit - AN8 format

For sale:

Mock - Mock's Dragon
odeathoflife - Small Wing Dragon, odeathofTOON_DRAGON, Toon Dragon Too
Valandar - Shen Lung Oriental Dragon
PhilC - The PhilC Dragon
Curio - Curio's Majestic Dragon
sixus1 - Draconis Rex

I have one too, but it needs more work. I just don't know if I should remove it, or submit the new version as an update ^_^U Anyway, the above are all nicely made, and the Marketplace ones aren't expensive. I think the most expensive one is only $30. There are also lots more on other sites.

I actually got my MilDragon and Bryce 5 for free...I wrote several tutorials for DAZ, and tutorials pay a $25 voucher each. And Bryce was on sale. Heh. Oh, and I agree that DAZ's figures are very well priced. Yes, they are a lot of money (especially if you don't have a job...) but like kuroyume0161 said, most models are far more expensive, and often not as good.

Mil figures are mostly high-res, very well detailed, and well articulated. MilDragon is one of the more popular ones. Try searching the gallery for "MilDragon" and you'll see some examples of what it can do :)

IIRC P5 supports Python too. I know there's a Python script option under the File menu.

I, for one, hope this means the tag rule will be enforced more. I haven't browsed the gallery at all lately because of all the adult content. If people wanna do that kinda thing it's not my place to complain, but I don't wanna have to look at it when I'm looking for the comics and dragon pics. x_x

Thanks. Yeah the scaling is off, I lost the first render and had to do it over, and forgot to fix the scaling again ;P Scaled up along the Y and X axes it looks better than this. ^_^U Looking forward to the official version! And I'm sure your fans understand how life gets in the way of things. Take your time, we can wait. ;) Man, what I wouldn't give to have your modeling talent...

P5 doesn't use rsr's either, it uses png thumbnails.

What do you consider "low-end"? I'm running P5 on a 400Mhz Pentium2, with 128MB RAM, and Win98. THAT is low-end ;P Runs ok for me, though large models and scenes react slowly (like the MilDragon) There's not going to be a lot of difference between the P4s and P5 speed wise. I'd say go for P5 anyway, but try the P4PP demo first. If you can run that you can run P5, though the dynamic stuff may be tough (I haven't bothered to try those on my computer, it'd crash most likely.)

Woot! I'm still having trouble with this one!

It was ambient coloring. I don't know how it got set to that, and why all new props have it set that way =/ Meh. It's fixed now, thanks all =)

Ok thanks for the help. FrenchToast, if you remember what that free program was, please let me know. In the meantime, I shall learn from the great Wings modellers, and strive to be like them!! ;)

Kinda reduntant of me to post for no reason other than to agree with everybody else, but...I agree with everybody else, and I'm quite excited about it ^_^ I haven't yet tried cloth fitting, but that's only because I haven't gotten P5 yet. I'm sure I'll be using this tool if you release it!
