Help in affording a sidegrade to Vue 6, and general gift certs to 3D shops. I know I've got a new video card coming as well - originally gifted in November, bu UPS left it outside my apartment and it was stolen before I got home...

In past people always got me books - I read a lot of political science literature - but I've run out of space to store them, so until I can sell off a few bookshelves full, I've asked everyone I know to not give me any more. :)

In fact, I've put up a wishlist website for my family to send in their wishlists. It's kind of odd and lacking in a personal touch to use those things... but too many people are always stressed out over what to get others, and it really helps for the kids... My entry on the list just links to the gift certs for CP, Daz, and Renderosity.

Attached Link: Full render of the face thumbnail below - [NUDITY within]

This is Sydney, made in the face room and a little morph brushing.

This render wasn't done for focusing on the face. I might go back and do a face shot for the thread here.

Are you using the morph brush - create? I find it too 'impactful'

I try to set it very low, but the slightest touch and the figure is growing horns out of the lips, cheeks, or wherever I try from. Hopefully someone will write a tutorial on it .

This must just be a perspective of time thing...

When I placed my order I ordered the wrong platform, so I had to contact them and get that fixed. I sent a note to support and contacted one staff member directly.

Knowing that people sleep, and have other things to do as well as hold my hand, I waited. In my opinion, that they got back to me in two days was fast, considering all the other things going on. They corrected my platform issue, but I then had another point of confusion on my end over Miki (I did my order through p6) and wanting to know if I could use her on both my Mac and PC copies of Poser (P6-Mac, P7-PC). Again, I sent a note to the same person, and he copied off to a technical person to find what I needed to get (the Miki Face module - which I forgot I had ordered 6 months back before I even had Miki :) ). Waited over a weekend, got a reply sometime that following Monday.

Worked for me.

In my opinion, given the size of the operation and the scale of a new core product rollout, they were very fast and very attentive to me.

Give them a little time, and make sure you have done everything on your end that you can.

On a weekend, I don't expect people to be in there working. And I don't expect them to have remote login access from home to get into the servers for my issues. Probably the only employees with that access are the guys in the IT office. Being near the Silicon Valley (near as I can guess from where Starlet lists her home), they probably have card key access to a secure office that might not even work on weekends. But even if they can get in, I would not expect them to be working on a weekend. That kind of expectation is just unreasonable.

Starlet noted above that your order had never completed.

"You actually don't have a preorder right now. I would attempt to place your order again. That is the current reason you don't have a link."

• When ordering at CP, I make sure I get an invoice, and then I go to 'my stuff' and review the order to see if everything on it makes sense. If something doesn't make sense, or if the order doesn't show up - I'll contact them to ask if they got it after waiting a little bit, and failing that order again. Likewise with any e-com site.

Right after ordering, did your order history / invoice look normal?
Check over your invoice and order history - if you spot anything funny, at least you will know what points to raise in getting fixed. See if your credit card was ever actually billed... If not, your order was probably never ever inputed, which seems to be what Starlet was writing above.

That Sydney is amazing, save that this contest said no postwork. :) But even if I ignored the freckles I think it would beat almost every V4 I've seen so far.

Quote - Anyway, here's Sydney in default state and with three variations just using the faceroom for both morphing and texture tweaking.  I think I'll go back and try the new morphing brush for more details.   

WOW!!!

Can I get your dial settings, morphs, or whatever it is that made those?

They are amazing.

First Computer: Timex Sinclair 1000. I was -cool- though, I had the 16k ram upgrade.

• I remember the days when video games came in magazines as text code. You had to type in all the lines and then run it... and you didn't have a floppy or a hard drive so you would have to do that all over again next time.

Quote - Strixowl, it appears you're correct,  and I obviously must have forgotten to download it and install it.  With all of the downloads for the Pro bundle its easy to do I guess) 

Nevertheless, a slightly expensive lesson for me on that. 

Daz offers a 30 day refund policy for situations like yours were you have double ordered.

Contact them and give them order numbers, and ask to have one of the two textures refunded.

... Just re-read my post above and realized it made no sense. Must have gotten one thread crossed with another while thinking about other things.

Anyway, still - thank you. I guess it will be a Naked Vicky, maybe hanging out with a naked Sydney...

Which sounds like something on late night cable TV... :oops:

You might also have just found signs of a virus infection. If your file size is off from that above, don't just redownload, scan your system first if you feel that it seemed as if it had downloaded all the way.

Even if your filesize is smaller... Sometimes they don't just add, they replace.

A few months back there was a big virus in the Poser community - and the number one way it spread itself around files on the hard drive was that after it was there it would put itself into anything being downloaded or run.

Thank you.

Now I have to do that 'Naked Sydney in a temple with an Aston Martin' image... :)

Quote - Maybe that's why Simon looks so gloomy.

What man in his right mind would be upset that the woman he's with has -nothing- to wear?

:D

But seriously... we just need to pressure developers to make outfits for the p7 figures. Some items are starting to show up for Sydney. Given the usual pattern, a few more will follow for Simon, and the kid will get nearly completely ignored...

But if I can manage to make a dress for Sydney over winter break (something I want to try to learn how to do with Hexagon), I'll look at something for the kids afterwards. But I'm not a modeler, so don't expect me to to actually manage to learn enough by then to pull it off... ;)

Look up the poser project human:

Also, at Daz3d.com, Michael 3 is still free, although Vicky 3 now costs full.

All of these options should come with obj files. And if you want to pose them first, Daz|Studio is free.

Worked for Mel Gibson. There are sects of Christianity that find the crucification and resurrection the critical parts of Jesus' time on Earth.

Myself, I'd be just as happy if he'd rode off with Cher in a pink Cadillac - I'm in it for the sermons.

On topic, there are some biblical props at Poser world. I believe there was a manger scene, or a Mary outfit, or something. Its been a long time since I downloaded it and its on another computer.

70,000 is actually lower than I would have expected or hoped, but it is a good showing. We're still more obscure than players of Dungeons and Dragons though. :)

I'm avoiding the shader room until I have Vue 6. Until then, as that is the only app that can import it, it's useless for me. :)

Well, I'm sure we'd all be willing to take whatever you've got.
