Never got a so called virus from there, even from freestuff utilities.
Chances are that same part of the program code can appear as a viral code, while it's a legitimate way to accomplish some routines; this advice is even told by antivirus makers, and generally (legitimate) software writers explain why their programs can be catched as viruses.
If I remember correctly, there was at least one case here when a program scanned by an AV was being told to be infected, while its programmer stated from the first time he released it it could be sensed as a virus (can't remember which program, sorry).

Obviously, if the author doesn't say anything related in his informations, best thing to do is to contact the store admins.

Xantor,
I do what it said can do: move breasts in the correct manner, something I have same bad days in doing :-)
And I think the morphs are really correct, anatomically speaking.

-Yggdrasil-,
try bending/siding the thight not the buttock. Also take note that every model has some sort of problem in that area, V3 too.

For the U-Gyro to work, the chest has to be off of the straight position, even when you move the whole body via hip or body rotations. It works very well, too... :-)

Same basic tips if hair are a conforming figure:

1. Select the hairpiece, then go to Display-Element-Cartoon if it is transmapped or isn't already visible;
2. turn off IK chains for all arms and legs of the figure (not the hair), then zero it and CTRL+D to drop it to the floor;
3. move hair into position and scale them if necessary, not a frustrating task if you have already done step 1;
4. parent the hair to the head after you'll ready, and lock them until you have done with posing;
5. unlock them and do all the morphing arrangement;
6. render :-)

With these steps, I've conformed P4 hair to Vicky, Michael hair to Preschool, and so on...

And...who needs clothes??? :-D

Well, uhm, Hauksdottir...I hace to disagree with you :-)

At least, natural breasts aren't THAT spaced in the upper area as V2/V3 shows, they looks like a plastic surgeon mistake in placing her sylicon implants.

Even assuming they're correctly spaced, I have to complain with the too rough internal edges ("flat area on the sternum" as you said...well, it isn't THAT flat) and with the attaching upper point shifted too much toward the shoulders.

I think I'm having some bad days with Vicky, her/its flaws are driving me nuts in trying to correct them...or is it me???

Well, Phil, in my case I can quit any time IT want to ;-)))

Uh, yes, even the RedHat6 installed everything or so, just left out internet connections and CD burners...and noone told me that I had to "mount" CDs before use, and if the manuals and docs are in the CDs...............

The problem number 1 remains: if something goes wrong, where do you can get support if you don't have a clue how the doc and man system works???
And don't tell me that the upgrade of the kernel is a "just write -compile" task... :-)

Ok, the flaws in Windows...I think there are flaws in Linux too, but they aren't so well publicized and known: in example, I know for sure that Apache, if bad configured, is an open door to a system, even more of a bugged IIS, and not all have the ability to do a good configuration of an Apache server...such as not all can configure properly the IIS system.

Oh, well, yes, I'm a Win user who can live with its security limitations and has the time to actually WORK instead of run around all its config files, you're right ;-)
And if I have to reinstall, I can do that in about two hours included apps, not a bad thing if you haven't a LAN to administrate but a simple end user computer.
How many tasks you can do in two hours, if you have to reinstall the system? And don't tell me "Linux is installed only the first time", if you misread a conf file you can blow up your entire system (as I learned the hard way, when Linux won't even start...my fault, ok, but it can happen even to Penguinisto in a bad hairy day ;-))) ).

I'm ending here this discussion, we are waaaay off topic, but I want to be clear too: Linux is a GREAT O.S., but it's almost useless on an end user computer (unless he/she's a real "nerd" and wants to know everything about that metallic case).

I used V1/2 (and occasionally Dina) on a PII 400...so what? :-))) I was only kidding :-)

Yes, Peng, WHAT docs.

When I had to configure my Internet connection, I searched for "connection", "net", "dialup"...nothing conclusive, my connection wouldn't come alive; finally (after some days), I stumbled across a newsgroup discussion about my same problem, and the very first five (yes FIVE) answers were "RTFM"...the sixth one who answered pointed the guy to an obscure document on how to configure devices, and guess what? In NONE of the docs I've just read there was something about the proper device port configuration, they all considered the reader a master of some obscure informatic discipline...something as "point the flag to your modem device", well, at least tell me where I can find this darn "modem device", I didn't even know the "device" dir...

All that I learned then was how to jump from a doc to another, as there was nothing that explained clearly the basis, until I bought the aforementioned hand palm high books.

Last thing I've done with Linux was an unsuccessful attempt in recompiling a new Kernel, I think it was unsuccessful 'cause my C libraries were out of date, and after reading the same answer all around ("you just have to type -compile and it all goes well") I decided to reinstall Windows and put my Linux disks in the bags...I want to use the computer, not to be used by it (and by the so-called "experts")!!!!

You know, noone has all the world knowledge, and all had been beginners; but if you, ex-beginner and now master, threat the new beginners in that manner, you are likely to lose some very proficient disciples (not you, Peng, I'm speaking in general :-))) ).

Ah, I installed the RedHat6 distro, I think it was an already decent one; don't know why, Gnome didn't even work, and the "other" GUI (you well know it, I think :-) ) never crashed or gave me a problem...pretty cool, uh??? :-)))))))
The "official" Linux GUI doesn't work, the "unofficial" and "abhorred" one runs like a charm...naaaahhhh!
Welcome to the idiosyncrasies of Linux, folks!!!

P.S. - Peng, don't take it personal, I HAVE to tell that after all these years reading "Linux is cool, Linux is fast learning, Linux is a charm, Linux here...Linux there...".

But...uhm...does Poser uses the actual mesh in visualizing and rendering rather than count all the morph points in the CR2? I mean: all the morphs, until used by moving their dials, are nothing for Poser, as it uses only the mesh for the visualizations in the viewports or the rendering. V2 has a less defined mesh against V3, and THIS is what hogs down some machines, not the CR2 size or the number of morphs loaded, at least if you have 512+ Mb memory (a standard today). Oh well, if you have Poser on a 128 Mb machine, you can bet that even Posette hogs it down ;-)

Jim, I think the AMD 2600+ is mine, as there aren't others... Just to clarify, I have 1 Gig RAM and I use Win2k SP4, and I've stated that in my posts there :-) Luca

I use Opera...and that darn thing keeps crashing and sweeping away all the preferences (and it's NOT a MS product).
I use Zone Alarm, and one time in around five I have to shutdown and restart it because the ADSL connection wouldn't want to came up after registering on the ISP (and it's NOT a MS product).

On the other hands: install the OS, install the latest SP, install the latest IE suite, and then set "read every mail as text" and "ask me if someone wants a receipt confirmation" in the OE preferences...lastly, switch off the WindowsUpdate function.
Done, you will NEVER have to worry about your Win2000 machine.
And using the firewall had done even more than a patch from MS (which I haven't even downloaded).

Well, I tryed Linux some years ago, I know how PCs work...
What a nightmare!!!
Is there something you can't get to work? Search the net for the docs...well...WHAT docs???
Ok, there are the newsgroups...do a search...find nothing...ask..."RTFM" was the more delicate answer (at least here in Italy)...but is it my fault if the newsservers kept only the last two months of messages (even less if they are English language newsgroups)???????
Finally I put my hands on the pockets and bought a couple of books, a hand palm high each...now they're obsolete, and if I reinstall Linux I have to restart over and over again with the above situations...
And if installing patches is time not spent in rendering, playing Quake and so on, you must state that even learning how that flag in the XXX config file works is time not spent in rendering, playing Quake and so on.

Now I let Linux in the security environments (where it belongs), and I'll continue to install a MS OS and do no more than ten tweakings, and don't worry for the time being (well, MSBlast caught me when I had to temporarily shut down ZA as stated above, when I restarted it it blocked the virus in no time, and I was able to remove infections without even read instructions...if there was something similar for Linux machines, I think i had to download the latest kernel, the latest upgrades, and recompile them only to learn I had to download and recompile the latest C libraries or the latest graphic libraries from an exotic server...............and so on).
Last note: I know well that sometimes even Linux has to be upgraded, crackers hit Windows machines as well as Linux systems (yes, Linux has its own flaws as well).

It is STILL a good idea, igohigh, expecially when we can compare scores from very different specs (and if I recall correctly - just awoke... - there's no one spec similar to another).

Look at the last info from mountainmaster: he has the best specs stated until now, and has even one of the best score, so NOW I can say "CPU power AND memory bus speed does matter, and REAL Mhz among processors does matter".
Look, a 3.06 P4 can easily overrule all the AMDs, but AMDs are running at MUCH LESSER Mhz counts, and don't get so low scores.

Example: a 2.2 real Mhz AMD takes 192 secs to render this scene, when a P4 with 30% more Mhz takes 176 secs.
Is it worth the way more money spent on the P4, only to have 16 seconds less in this render???
Yes if you don't want only render power, no if you're a simple hobbyist who fire up Poser and play with DAZ's or Renderosity's toys, dreaming to be a photographer :-)
Well, this is only one of the miriads of conclusions that can be got.

But as we are talking of pure render speed, there's one other thing to keep in mind: the time for the final render is a small fraction of the time spent overall on the picture, unless you are an animator and you regularly make one hour lenght films (but I think at this time you aren't using a P4 and Poser, aren't you? ;-) ).
So, if you want render speed AND workflow, the 16 seconds for the first could be HOURS for the second...now it's up to you to decide how many budget to be allocated for your needs.

And this thread had convinced me that my last buy was a REAL bargain :-)))

Well, just built a new system (the older's last choke was this test...), now I have a AMD 2600+ (real clock 2.083 Mhz), FSB333, memory bus 333 Mhz, and the old disks and peripherals and OS (with SP4).

Rendertime now is...210 secs!!!
I outperformed all the 2.8 CPUs minus one, and many P4 3.06!!!!!!!

Ok, the OS is clean now, but it isn't optimized yet; I have many tasks running, my systray is ten centimeters long :-DDD

I'm scratching my head trying to understand the means of that, I can only think about FSB and memory bus speed...
Time to try a clean render...stay tuned :)
