Hi to you too. Well, I did find one of the contests but not the other. The missing one was simply called a 'Fantasy' contest and the guidelines were pretty open. It has been been a while so I'm going to assume that contest is closed. Just wish I could make sure... Thanks for the reply. kmw

Hmmmmm... maybe you might want to reinvestigate your provider. I'm not exactly on top of this stuff but I use several different machines (home [desk and laptops] and work) to access Render and I don't think I ever have this problem. Even when it appears slower, it's not to the point of annoyance. As for that amusing remark about the Marketplace never being slow, that's not surprising and not likely coincidental. Pick up a phone and call almost any Support line and they're gonna put you on hold. Call Sales and someone's gonna pick that puppy up on the first ring.

This is outstanding!!! I'd tried something like this but for some reason [operator incompetent perhaps?] I just was't getting it right. Thanks immensely for the direction. Matter of fact your site unto itself is DA BOMB! I'm definitely going to bookmark it. One query tho, what version of Vue are these tuts for? I'm looking for the Null Function in the Bump window (Vue 4.06-2) but not seeing anything with that name. Again, thanks, gebe. Hope I get to return the favor sometime. kmw

I see quite a bit of concern about whether POSER 5 will make all the add-ons we've purchased for POSER 4 useless. Now this is something I have to doubt. Would Curious Labs really wipe out everything this community has built with the single sweep of an upgrade? Did Bill Gates buy CL and not tell us? Not to my knowledge. I'm willing to bet we'll still be able to use anything we have now with POSER 5. Much like we're dropping P2 figures in 4 and Pro Pack. But much like now, we'll continue using P4 accessories with P4 figures, Mike accessories with Mike, etc., etc. As a fan whose been impressed with POSER since v1, I've already got my wallet ready but I don't see anything wrong with continuing to build my current POSER library if I see something I like/want/need. The idea I won't be able to use it at all in an upgrade just doesn't seem likely.

Give up my butthole. This is a great piece of work. Wish I'd heard about this little challenge sooner. I might have dove in myself.

Are you a member of the 3D-CC? It's a fine group and they've got several Superman figures available to the membership. One of them might do the trick. Good luck.
