"Starting to regret the downgrade yet?" Sorta... but the being able to render in max again is SWEET!! Just having a go with it right now!! I suppose I could always downsize my runtime... I have a whole slew of stuff that's never used... And I still installed it all yesterday anyway... Thanks eh! G

I guess PBoost is the only way to go... Thanks!! PBoost sounds like something you'd take if your prostate was inflamed! Urgh....... No offense to Hogwarden there... I just have a really bad sensse of humor.

EDIT: When you say consolidate some folders do you mean I can just drag a bunch into a few and that will reduce the overhead? I have 414 folders in my Pose folder... What's the limit? If I could create new folders and say put all Mat Poses in it and a new folder for "Pose" Poses etc... etc... etc...

If it's as easy as that then that would be swell!!!

Later!

Well, I'd have to say WyrmMaster is who're you're looking for!! He's the king of Big Ti... OH!!! You said "Tips"!! Sorry!! LOL!!! ;) My tip: Read this forum!!! I've been lurking here for ages!! I rarely post but I always read the messages posted all the time!! I've learned TONS (or tonnes for us metric folks) just from being a lurker!! I love Renderosity!! I'd know extremely little about 3D & Poser if it wasn't for Renderosity and the great community here!! Take care! G

Thanks! Sorry I forgot the sword & temple! At least Ol' Vic has the ample frontage. Later! G

Well, halfway through reinstalling... took a break to try out a scene in Max...

Nothing fancy, V3 Amazing Grace, a building prop from the max freestuff and raytraced shadows...

This is why I wanted to go back to the ProPack. (and Max)

Well, impulsive fool that I be I reinstalled P4 and ProPack & UNINSTALLED P5!! I'm gonna spend the next few hours reinstalling EVERYTHING!! I figure it's worth it considering the quality of rendering in Max. Better raytracing and volumetric lighting and such. And in all honesty I kinda miss ProPack. It always performed exactly as I required with Max and after going to P5, I've rarely used Max at all!! I started with TrueSpace2 (then 3) and graduated to Max3 using TomWoofs Manga Babes in both, so when I saw Poser 4, it was way more what I was looking for! No more rigging models in Character Studio!! So I guess it's kind of a nostalgia thing... Or maybe that Seasonal Affective Disorder thing... LOL!!! Who knows!!??

Yeah... $179US (Canuck here eh! So that would be like $78,000.00 Canadian Funds LOL!!) for BodyStudio!!! Having already owning ProPack I can't justify the cost of another plugin that does the same thing (hosting scene).

Well, I just figure:"Why spend more money on BodyStudio when I've already bought ProPack" Ya know what I mean? May as well get as much bang for my buck!

Cool... I'll give PBoost a looksie... Back to ProPack cuz I want to render in Max... I'm a former Firefly fan who want's MAx's speed and quality!!! Thanks!!! G

Rats... I only chat with people who do bite... :( kidding....

I downloaded the alpha release demo and there are pre-rendered backgrounds featuring doork and posette with p4 hair on both and the ingame female model has the reika hair and walks with definate poser walk designer walks... Also I read in the companys forum that they used Poser Motions (I assume Walk Designer) & free hand movements to animate the characters. As well they're claiming 20,000 poly characters and the ingame character looks a lot like Posette to me... I just thought it was cool that a game is being made with Poser..... I hope Razbor Studios does well with it!! I'll buy it if it makes it's way to North America!

But of Quarkers characters I kike this one best!!

I love both the slinky & silky hairs!

Hi... Well under the main libraties tab in P5 There's an option to "Add Runtime" so I assume it's just looking in my Metacrations/poser 4 directories... Everthing is still in P4 and only about half are in P5... I really don't get it... I'm considering just reinstalling ALL my everythings (characters, models, clothes, EVERYTHING!) but it'll be a pain in the butt & somewhat of a waste of hard-drive space as I don't want to get rid of P4! So any help would be great!! BTW... running XP Pro on an Athlon XP 2400 with a gig of ddrram! Hope that helps ! Thanks for the assistance and I hope you guys can help!! Later!! G

Hey Mobius... sounds like the solution from the IT guys at my work to all computer problems here!!! HAHAHAHAHA!
