And while we are discussing clothes, lets look at this as well. V3 is a HUGE file with all the morphs. Typically when I do a scene for a client, I have more than just Vicky, naked in a temple. I have backgrounds, props and other characters(sometimes Mike, sometimes the Preteen or Steph, or a whole group). Even with a AMD2200XP and a gig of RAM it bogs down. Now we have Vicky 3 and her 120 mgs with full morphs(not counting high rez textures). Hello? Bryce and Vue CHOKE on that. Poser isn't real pleased either. I'm all for realism, but geeze, I can't afford a Cray just to do Poser scenes

I don't make a living at Poser per se. I do, however, supplement my income nicely with it. Poser isn't the only tool I use. Right now I'm working on an illustration project and I use Poser, Bryce, Bodypaint, Photoshop, Dreamweaver, plus pretty much the full gamut of the KPT filters. Anything to get the job done, as it were.

Anton, Are you sure that the communities are all that's left of the poser supporters? Where did you get your info on that?

If any of the Poserstyle team will contact me, I have a server and lots of space. I already have Postnuke files in place, so the transfer would be very smooth. Please contact me. deidrianne@aol.com hisminky@gte.net

I guess I missed what happened. Is this a hosting issue?

Migal, Yes, I did join the platinum club. I never said I wasn't going to purchase V3. You are mistaking my hesitation for the moment. It would be fabulous if some of the clothes I've already bought were reworked for V3. I will most likely get V3 as a gift from my S.O., he has already made noises about such(I won't know until christmas eve. And quite likely the project I am working on will have to include V3. In that respect I am dancing on the side of luck as my client will most likely foot the bill on models required for HIS stuff. My concern is(and so it should be for any merchant) is when does this hit market saturation? We've already seen a slump in sales for P5. How many more people are going to be able to afford MORE models and MORE clothes again and again as each new version of Vicky is released? Already my HD has over 10 gigs of models. Think on that for a moment. Next year (should my money tree bloom, I water it faithfully every day) Will my HD contain 20 gigs? 30 gigs? When do we say enough? I fully believe we will see a 12 step program for kicking the poser habit soon.

Anton, Your comment about switching from P4 to Vicki isn't quite the same. I've invested thousands of dollars into clothing V1 and V2. I simply cannot continue to invest in clothing and such any longer. If I do purchase V3,(or by some miracle one of my family takes pity on this Poser addict) I will not have the funds to USE her as I cannot afford to buy a wardrobe for her. My income has been drastically reduced. But lets paint a different picture here. Lets say I buy Vicki 3 and I clothe her adequately. Next year there will be a new industry standard in Vicky and yet another set of clothes to buy. What then have I spent?

Hisminky, I know how you feel. I'm looking into recutting and adjusting joints to some of my vickie clothing. However, she comes subdivided on the texture level, so its a snap to give her a bodysuit, stockings or gloves look<< sure, but that doesn't solve my compulsive model buying problem. If I don't have V3, then I won't be tempted, yanno? Don't get me wrong, I WANT V3, but I simply don't have the funds I used to have.

I really like the looks of V3, but I already have 3000+ in vicky 2 clothing and textures. I'd hate to have to replace ALL of that. I don't have a problem with the cost of V3. She is very reasonably priced, but dressing her seems like its going to be problematic

None of Vicky2 clothes fit her? Can the Tailor fix this?

whoa

Yes, I did the reboot, and I also reinstalled. No deal

Yes, there were backups and all of them gave me the same error. The backups were given different names and saved to different directories. The file sizes ranged from 198mgs to 250 mgs. I have a lot of RAM, so that isn't the issue. Running win2k 2200 AMD with 512 RAM
