IF anyone is interested??? That's like asking IF anyone out there has a need for Oxygen!

From a tech's point of view - Re-Writing a CD actually dose BURN the layer of reflective material away. You can use them about 4-8 times and then you are risking MAJOR data corruption. CD technology was designed from the ground up as a non-volatile storage media... not to use like a tape drive or large volume removeable drive. It is not effected by magnetic fields and as long as you don't scratch it or let it melt, your stuff is safe for good. The new Zip drives go up to 250 meg and have a much better track record. Re-Writables are too risky after 4 burns.

Figure and effects on right for realism, combine with camera angel and apiture setting on left. Thansk for the idea. Nice to see Photoshop being used (ducks the soda cans being thrown by the PSP folk).

Note about storage devices (notibly CD burners): This is from my professional life as a technician and warranty administrator, so please listen up. If you buy a burner PLEASE read Consumer Reports or get a third party report (not from the manufacturer's!). Do a bit of research first. If you loose data because the burner fails, the manufacturers are under no obligation to do anything but fix the one you bought - you data is your problem. Also- READ YOUR WARRANTIES! If it is repair, you get the same product back, or a re-build of someone else's broken one. Go for a model that has a replacement warrenty. It may cost a little more, but it will be far more worth while. I lost 488 meg of files because the burner I had wrote the FAT and got all the file sizes, name s, etc down... but the files were unreadable. Only 19 out of the over 2,000 files were irriplacable, but I will never buy another Sony CD burner again.

Addendum to previous comment: WOW!!!

Outstanding program! For those of you who know it, think of this one as the Thumbs Plus of 3D stuff. Way cool! I'm gonna see how well it translates one format into another... and then I may have a use for all those great COB files I've got sitting around.

Thanks Steve... I'm starting to re-organized and back up all my Poser stuff. The karate suit works if I change the colors, but the legs are way off. I can have the pic scanned and sent by afternoon tomorrow.

Both woudn't hurt. I also will be hounding people for the hair style that Liam Neison wears in Phantom Menice. I still only like the flik for the fight scenes and the imagry... Hmmmm - I thought someone had made a outfit for martial arts once. That would be a great start! Any leads on this would get me to start shutting up...

Haven't seen it, but I am willing to try to make her for you. Here's the question: If I make a character that looks so much like a famous person even without prompting people know who it is, where should I post it? Characters seems logical, but what about the morph targets i use in it? The VAST majority of the ones I use are made by Traveler (thanks again!) and I also use the magnets on some of the tougher ones... Morph targets? And should I worry about copyright if all of them use the basic Poser 4 female character as their starting point. I use that because I know evey Poser 4 user has it... should I bother making things more complicated or not? (Soon to be a moot point altogther. I am figuring out how to make one morph for a person and then use only that for the specific people.)

YAHHHHHH!!! Go for it!!! If you can't get permission I will sculpt a head out of clay, mark out a grid for the polygons and MAIL it to you!!! FINALLY!!!! (subtle note to Metacreations and Zygote - what good is having all these perfect women around if the guys are all uglier than the south end of a diaretic mandrill? The Poser world will rapidly de-populate!0

Yea, yea... everyone loves Maul... but you all forget - it was an young Obi-Wan who mad Maul into a pair of munchkins! How about some Jedi stuff!?! BTW- excellent work. I just felt like whining. Are the horns mrophs or props? And untill I actuallt have time to DL it - are the clothes part of him or seperate props/posable clothes?

SEE? Not the only one am I that contiunes this. Buff he was in his younger days.

Ok, Now I HAVE to start posting my trans maps. Seeing that people actually want different TMs will give me a small way to contribute here.

Originally the catsuit? If so, how did you get rid of the wrinkles in it?

BANG Another myth ("Poser hair will never look real.") shot down cold!
