Hi all, thank's for helping. We tried several settings in render options with the same results. Think it's an overlapping problem. These stockings are mesh and we are going to make some corrections in the bending zones. The Bryce or 3dmax renderer worked fine. Regards Daniel + Matthias

first let us say we are very sad about your reaction here in forum! There was no need to discuss it in public and also publishing our e-mail! We just asked for a response and our demand was more a request between friends. Anthony, how long do we know from each other? No chance for discuss it first by e-mail?

Dear Anthony, here is our statemnet:
First, and very very sorry, you are right! You didn't bougth our knife, it was the weightbelt and the mask. So sorry again, but, forgive us, another point for discussing this matter just between us!
Second, we don't want to start any arguments, if you wish to keep your item in freestuff, keep it! We didn't say that you made any illegal copies or violated the policy.

Anthony, now after calming dawn, we try to explain it again. You are also a certifed diver and you also know the huge assortment of divers-knifes (long, small, thick, all coloured), but your knife is nearly of the same kind than our item (see picture). Perhaps we are of different opinion, but we check the marketplace first, before we are going to upload a free item. Just to respect the merchants work and their profits. We don't demand on you to have the same opinion. For heaven's sake, no! We just dared to asked you for this favour, because you have so much uw-items here in freestuff and changing or removing one item is not a big deal for you.

Okay, everybody? Hope we cleared this 'argument' here in public. Anthony, you are the same old fellow like two days before and a simple knife might not kill any friendhips...

Kindest regrads to you all

Hi , backfacing? where can I find it? Matthias

Hi Joe and bennett, some days before we had won a competion. Pro7 was looking for the best Poser-anim. A one minute clip as basic. At the end of voting we got the price. As special feature Pro7 was coming to us. They made a short docu in 'how to make a movie with Poser'. So we did it. Daniel and I gave hints and tips. This docu doesn't address to our comunity directly, because this docu isn't very technical. It's more a sweet for all beginners or common beginners. Our most important goal was to introduce renderosity to the team. We think renderosity is a totally must for all 3D-artists (not only Poser!!!). We made a quick tour through our forum, free stuff and marketplace. They were impressed about the possibility to create 3D-Meshes in RayDream and set them to live in rederosity or Bryce. They were not very trained in this matter, because Stefanie (a vey beautiful and powerful TV-editor) asked us to create a little model right now, as warming up in 5 minutes...... They are going to show this spot in two or three weeks on Pro7, Galileo. It was fascinating to see, how this people are making movies. Profesional equippment all you can see. Kindest Regards to you both Daniel + Matthias

Sorry for being angry at Poser 5. No, we didn't discussed big bugs in Poser 5, because (psst) we made our show with Poser 4. Ah, sorry, stinking thread? Please explain....

Really forgot the topic of this posting! Interesting to start at pro7-competition and end with ' .. how to eat special sausages.. ' Going and having lunch right now Daniel + Matthias

Hi all, two weeks ago we sent an info to DAZ. Tailor was not working with P5-figures. If you try to load a P5-figure, the upload fails (.. groups not found...). We were forced to to edit the *.cr2 for avoiding this problem. Perhaps this might be a reason for an update. Daniel + Matthias Kruse

Hi, we are using RDS5.02/Carrara + Poser 5 + Bryce 5. We started early in creating objects in RDS 5.02. Think it's adequate for such (little advanced)devoloper like us. All our subjects in the marketplace are created with this software. The only way to import the mesh is going the way by *.obj. Perhaps we are going to buy the RDS upgrade Carrara. We tested this software a little bit, but didn't found new good stuff, which is worth enough to buy it. Unbeatable is 3DMax (we can use version 5). But this software is too expensive for us private-developer. So we are glad to use this software from time to time at our company. Regards Daniel + Matthias Kruse

Hi ockham, thank's for responding. Yes, we are doing the same thing. We thought, there is a smarter way to manage this problem. At this moment we prefer to stop the footage right in this moment, when the figure is fetching the box. Then going to start a new footage with the last frame of footage 1 and contiune the footage with a parent made item. Thnk's again Daniel + Matthias Kruse

Hi garicstarr, which poser version are you using? Please note Poser 4 is preparing these *.rsr in the geometries folder. Delete all *.rsr in there (Careful: Not in Libaries) Else: Did you build up your man in any 3D-Modeller? Sometimes we had the same problem: Working out an item in RDS means, we had to rename the bodyparts in there sometimes. So we typed 'rSin' instead of 'rShin' and made an export. As a result, this bodypart was invisible at Poser. Please check your *.obj. Are all bodyparts written correctly? Regards Daniel + Matthias Kruse

Hi Elisa, yes we know, our headline is a little bit rough. We had a lot of fun, to set live into our scuba-divers for example. We missed just some hints to make moviemaking more comfortably. For example, after we had run the first view, we recognized some places in the movie, in where we had to speed up or to slow down the movements. Now with the help of dragon we found a way. We got some experience in the past in moviemaking and are of the same opionion: Just some seconds for one document. So our largest footage is about 7 seconds. All the footages are merged afterwards. We are using Multimedia Studio 6.5, which is a very good (but expensive, sigh!) software. We also tried the 'spline' and 'linear interpolation'. Both results are of the nearly same quality (you have to watch cerfully for seeing differences). Perhaps in case of setting too many keyframes. Nevertheless, it's we are very pleased to get good hints. Think we are a good community! Dear Elise and Dragon kindest regards Daniel Kruse, Germany

Hi Dragon, wow! There are a lot of good helps. To No.2: Think you mean, ....change into 'Edit key frames', select the figure and keyframes and drag them to the new keyframe-position. Tonight we try this. To No.1: There was a very improtant hint: Keyframe for the figure! Now we now, there isn't one keyframe for all figures at this frame, but one keyframe for the figure only. Now it's clear, why all the keyframes are 'gone', because the new added figure is totally new to the document and without any keyframes. Thank's for helping Regards Daniel + Matthias Kruse

Hi Sophie, did you click on 'Apply a new figure' or 'Create a new figure'? You must choose 'Create a new fiugre' (double checker) to add a new fiugre. Hope this helps. Cheers Daniel + Matthias Kruse

Hi all, thank's for responding. We are not sure about 'welding': We also found this tool in our vertex-modeller. But this tool is just melting/welding two vertexes into one. Also all selected vertexes are weld to just one vertex. This is not what we has in mind. We needs something like.... select n-vertexes, let the tool compare all vertexes. If there are any two vertexes with nearly the same coordinates, make them equal. Or ... like our headline says ... choose two vertexes, select one master and equal the slave with one click. Right now we have to copy each coordinate, paste it to slave and add a '0' behind, because our RDS-program is just showing two rounded decimals (is there a setting to show more decimals? Didn't found it). Much work work, if you have tp prepare more than 500 vertexes.... We developed a little program with Delphi, which compares all vertexes and make the job, but this program is not usable in case of big *.obj with many lines. We are short in time to build up a SQL-Databases to make the comparison a little bit faster. So this was our idea to ask, if there is any tool for this subject in Carrara/RDS which we didin't found yet. Thanks to all Daniel
