Eternl_Knight With all due respect you're not spreading misinformation but rather the information you're providing is incomplete. The DAZ EULA, or any EULA for that matter, is written for two purposes. To protect the product & inform the end user what they can & cannot do with it. In the case of DAZ, it's not intended to be a guide for merchants and free content providers. If it were supposed to fulfill that purpose it would have to be far more expansive, detailed, & confusing to the vast majority of customers, most of whom do not provide any add on content. DAZ does, however, provide such a guide in their FAQ pages. Do you suppose that we would even be having this discussion if Sixus1 had bothered to read.... "However, as always, the content of DAZ's CR2 (and other) files remains our proprietary data, and the use of this data in the creation of derivative, competitive products is prohibited. In the case of our human figures this means that the CR2 data may be freely used for the purpose of creating figure add-ons (such as clothing, etc.), but may not be used for the purpose of creating another humanoid figure, which could compete with the original. Please note that Geometry contained in the OBJ files may not be used to create any derivative model, add-on or otherwise." http://www.daz3d.com/support/faq/index.php?id=19

Howdy Folks, I wanted to wait to post until Sixus1 had a chance to clarify their original statement but I have an appointment that can't wait any longer, so here you go. Since I've been involved with the whole Vicki/Lilin thing since the get-go I convinced DAZ that I should be the one post since I can answer most if not all of the questions & concerns raised so far. Now here's the skinny. 1) There was no reason that Lilin had to be pulled. In fact before the Sixus1 statement was released last night DAZ, and I, were under the impression that we were all still working toward an acceptible solution that would keep the model available. Instead Sixus1 released a statement that was originally a rought draft and was supposed to be reworked. 2) The joint parameters, falloff zones, ect weren't just "kinda close" or "almost the same". Every joint that was checked was an EXACT duplicate... as in copied, out to 3 decimal points. 3) You can take a look at the attached gif to see the "rough body shape" Take the heads off & there's not a whole lot of difference. Bear in mind that Vicki is not only copyrighted but also a trademarked property of DAZ. 4)As I said I've got some real world things to attend to for the next couple of hours but after Les releases the clarifications, I'll be back to answer any addditional questions & deal with some of the misinformation that's been handed out in this thread.

vilian, If there are any you can't find let me know... (coolerbear@att.net) I can either email the files over or set up a download link for you.

Casette, If you grab my Earth prop over at 3D Commune you'll find a higher rez, smoothed globe that will work better for planets than the default poser sphere. For surfaces the globe is mapped cylindrically so you can cut & paste any square/rectangular picture into the template to make a texture

Carolly, There may be a couple I've forgotten, but off the top of my head, there's a couple of generic "booze" bottles, an antique wheelchair, bamboo lawn rake, pewter tankard w/poseable top, wooden serving tray, poseable child car safety seat, chianti bottle, a folding "RDNA" shopping bag, a treasure "strong box, a poseable cattail, and the above mentioned bucket & dipper :-)

Daz has a few poseable fish & I have a freebie bucket & dipper at RDNA in the wishlist forum.

unless it's a spelling mistake that substantially alters the meaning of what's being said, IMHO the spelling police should go find a virtual donut shop :-)

What's a "Demonic Geni Lamp"?

Howdy folks, otay the wok is done & uploaded. It's based on a wok given to me as a gift, from my Wing Chun, instructor when I left. note: everything is "smart" propped to the wok base & prescaled to P4 people. (270K zipped, pp2 format, individual templates included, render shown is P4 aux camera, default lighting, untextured using only P4 reflection maps) infinity10- use the same FTP address as before just substitute WokStuff for tearoom (case sensitive)

otay I'm taking a break from modelling & had a chance to rat through my "finished but unreleased" stuff.

If you check out the hotlink above there's a Japanese tea room I did for orio and I found an oriental style dressing screen with 4 different panel inserts as well as the two texture maps shown.

either are available if yopu send me an email at coolerbear@att.net & I'll ship them back by return mail.

dressing screen= (cr2 format 600K zipped, panels "smart" propped pp2 the louvered panel has an open-close morph, textures & templates included)

tea room= (480K zipped pp2 format textures & templates shown included) edited to include URL :-)

aryeguetta, You haven't said what version of Poser that you're using, however in Poser 4 you can double click on the morph dial & that will bring up a dialogue box you can use to change the name of the morph.

both rickshaws are still available & I also have a hanging lantern, temple, pagoda, & oriental style gong & striker in my freebies in Poser Free stuff at 3D Commune. Here's your "take out box" (it also comes with a plastic knife & spork :-) I still have to do some fine tuning on the joint parameters & hack the cr2 but it's all UV mapped & the lid opens/closes. If I have time today I'll finish it up & do a traditional hammered iron wok & attendant utensils (lid, strainer, ladle, brush, fire ring, etc). If not today possibly by Tuesday. I'll post up to this thread to let you know when they are done.

aryeguetta, A cr2 file calls to an external obj. There should be an obj file somewhere in the poser/runtime/geometries/* folder. If it is a DAZ/Zygote figure the obj file will, in all likelihood, begin with the letters "bl" as in "blBear.obj", "blLion.obj", etc. However it's not necessary for you to use the whole cr2 file if you save as a pose (pz2) or pcf/rte encode. That way you also avoid the problem of distributing morph targets that you don't own :-)

Doc, That would be "Baretta"
