I agree. I didn't download the 2nd update originally because it had the same file name. But Ryan (DAZ) had asked if I had downloaded the newest update put on the product page on Thursday night. I wish I could give you more details, but I had the first SR1 installed and installed the second (1.1.1) on top of it. I know I've missed many updates simply because I don't check the product pages after I have made the purchase.

Um, sorry... I haven't had enough coffee this morning:) Yes, there is an update and it uses the same file name as before.

Ok... I think I know what happened here. I purchased the the expansion morph pak Thursday and when I loaded the Zombie morphs and tried to apply the full body morph nothing happened. Well I emailed DAZ and got a response and told them that it didn't seem to work. Well, Ryan emailed me back and asked if I had downloaded the latest release and I said no because it was the same file name and version number (at least on the web site). Anyway, long story short the SR-1 link on the web site and the old file name are actually the new updates. I would also make sure to download the other V3 Service releases (body & head) they seemed to have changed too. ~ brent ~

Happy Birthday! :)

Wow cainbrogan! The progress of this has been a lot of fun to watch! Hey, did you have a chance to go through PhilC's tutorial on making the lion cloth...er, cloth? I'm curious to see how that would look. Fantastic work! ~ brent ~

Are you setting the key fames for your first frame and last frame? If you look to the bottom right of the Poser interface, you'll see what looks like VCR controls. There should be a plus (+) and minus (-) these buttons set and remove key frames. On your first frame, press the plus and the move the shuttle to your last frame, set your pose and the press the plus again. This should get the results your looking for. ~ brent ~

The all white is okay, but I think I like the gold better. Gold and white seem to tie the sky into it (clouds and the sun). That's what I see when I see an angel. This is looking damn good! ~ brent ~

oops:) That looks great lululee

From looking at the image, I'd say that the lights are a little too intense. You might want to try toning them down a bit and see what that does.

I think that was a character done by Syyd Raven of RDNA. I actually think that was Don... Of course only if I'm thinking of the same guy you are:)

LOL:) Yeah... This should keep me busy for a while, but it'll be a whole lot of fun and I'm really looking forward to getting to work. ~ brent ~

Cool... more node stuff. Thanks EsnRedshirt. If you beat me to the Skin Node, I'd like to see it.

I know what you mean MachineClaw, putting these tutorial/explanations together should help me understand the materials room better:)

I definitely believe that the tutorials should be visual and step by step. I'm not talking completely simplistic but something that's not vague either (unlike this sentence;)).

And don't worry, I won't do a "...now you do this in Poser5 just like you would in Poser4." I haven't used P4 since the release of P5 and I've slept since then so I don't remember much;)

Thanks for the input, and keep it coming. I should have time this weekend to actually sit down and start working on these tutorials (and work on my Banner Contest entry, just in case any moderators are looking;).

The DAZ free stuff site has some of Questor's sci-fi rifles. DAZ has a new package out called the Storm Guards. I haven't purchased it... YET, but it looks really good. It would be great for some sci-fi renders.

Yes it is:) I tried loading the mpeg up in After Effects (overkill I know, but I wanted to try:) with no luck. I've got PowerDVD, but it isn't installed here at the office. I guess I'll try again tonight from the house. But if you do get around to the alternate version that would be great too. ~ brent ~

Hey Lyrra,

On the Mat Lab tutorial, do you think it would be useful to explain what each of the nodes are and what they do? I know trying to figure out what the heck a Math node did cause me some consternation. That would also give me more of an opportunity to learn a little more about the nodes myself. Anyway... I guess I should go to lunch now:)
