Yea, I'd bet the poser version has a reflection map, and the Vue version has no reflectivity on it at all. Just a guess.

Hey, Does Bryce 5 have an automatic file size of NTSC DV?

Truth be known, I didn't give two pence for the royals till 2001. Took the wife to Toronto for a vacation. We were wandering around town, when a nice young canadian army officer asked us to stop. He explained that they were about to fire the howitzers that were in the park, and we needed to stand clear. We waited around, watched them fire, and just thought it was something those crazy canadians did every day. Well, when we finally got through the park, and to the other side of the government building in the middle of the park, there was another Canadian solider who asked us to get in this line. We did, and suddenly we were being given Cake. Amused, we ate the cake and continued on our stroll. When we finished the cake, we discovered that the cake and the gunfire was for the Queen Mum. (This important fact was discovered by reading the engraved inscription on the napkin the cake rested on.) It was her 100th birthday or something. The next year, again without thinking, we were in London on her 101st birthday. We were auctually leaving that day, and I remember when we arrived she was in the hospital getting a blood transfusion or something. Anyway, she's the only royal I've cared about. And to show how much, I think she's dead, but not sure. My fasination has always been with the structures of England and Europe. Oh, and the Middle East. I mean here in America, we don't have that kind of history. I remember walking down the royal mile in Edinburgh (cause I'm not stupid enough to walk UP the royal mile). There were buildings along that walk, in fact the MAJORITY of the buildings of that walk, with corner stones proclaiming they had been built in the 14, 15 and 16 hundreds. Wow. Two hundred years makes a building old in America. I mean, imagine Canterbury! The Cathederal was first Christinized in 598. My god, over 1400 years ago. And the building that was first used, and who's foundation still makes up part of the Cathederal, dates back even farther, to Roman occupation! Nearly two thousand years of history right there. Amazing. Okay, I'm done. I'm getting off the soapbox. Sorry to babble!

Actually, Buckingham is bigger in terms of royal living space, since the royals are generally "Confined" to the dungeon at Windsor. (And no, the Dungeon is not a dank, musty underground chamber, it's a huge circular moat surrounded structure.) Buckingham is in london proper. (Not The City of London, but the London Metro) Windsor is the "country castle." As such, Buckingham is a bit more constrained by urban development than Windsor. Of course there is Kinsignton Palace, and the massive gardens surrounding it, even though it is also in London Metro. IMHO, Neither Buckingham or Windsor look like castles. Buckingham is a house. A BIG house. Windsor looks more castle/palace like, but is still more House than Fairy Tale. I'm partial to some of the northern castles, such as Endinburg Castle. Now, that's a castle, perched up on a craggy cliff, the city spilling down one side of the hill. But hey, I read to many fantasy novels as a kid. Then there is always the Tower of London, which I think is more castle/palace like than Buckingham. Very cool, and not much of a Tower. Of course, then you can go play on the Tower Bridge... Rats, I thought I'd gotten all that English stuff out of the system on my last visit. (Starts looking through travel brocures)

The name equalling the picture thing. Too bad we didn't think of that earlier. It would have been interesting to have sent in the pics anon and then tried to guess who's who.

You're too kind.

Sailor, if you joined one Yahoo group, you can join another. Without giving fresh info. Just use your Yahoo id you created for the Cararra forum to join this new one.

Wow... I hate to disagree with everyone, but when I saw the picture I didn't see post battle blues, I saw pre battle determination. It looks to me like the warrior is releasing the ribbon, as if releasing that last bit of whatever they held dear before going into battle. The story that popped into my head was that this warrior lost whoever the ribbon belonged to... a lover or relative... and is about to enact revenge. The blood hasn't happened yet, but the savage violence is inevitable. So I wouldn't change a thing, I see it as the calm before a very bloody and vengeful storm.

There is a third version I will be posting in a new thread soon. I'm afraid that the powers that be, however, think that it is too risque. So I'll probably have to come up with a whole new concept. Or at least a radical departure from this one. For some reason the theatre group doesn't want to offend the 80+ year old season ticket holders... but wants to attract the 20somethings and 30somethings and 40somethings. This play was selected BECAUSE of the risque nature. But we don't want to offend the older crowd!!!! Grrrr. At the very least I've been told to try and loose the word Sex in the catch phrase.

Rats. Thanks Guitta, I knew you'd know the answer.... and I was afraid I knew it. I did. Rats.

I don't know that I saw any of your earlier gallery pieces which brought you much pain, but I'll say this Stephano... That is a near perfect piece of Anti-war art. I say that because it ISN'T really propaganda. I mean it is, but it is propaganda about an Ideal and not about an Event. I think that's important here. You're dealing with an Ideal. "War is Bad." It passes judgement not on soliders or even polititians... at least directly... but on a concept. As such, it is powerful. Thanks for rising above the fray and creating art with a message, instead of attempting to put a message in your art.

Well, here's a hetero male that would rather have real clothes for V3 than slut stuff. I've generated some great things with what I've gotten from DAZ... the Sweetheart dress has been fun, but is a little, uh... short. I'm looking forward to the promised dress from DAZ this week. It is a step in the right direction.
