Quote - In the town where I live, the speed limit is 25 mph.  I find this limit ridiculously low, but have not succeeded in convincing the local authorities to increase it.

I still drive through town regularly ... I live there, after all.  Having said that, I would not buy a car with a maximum speed of 25 mph to match the village speed limit.  I frequently find myself on other roads, with higher allowable limits.  Therefore I chose to purchase a vehicle with a broad range of capabilities, then use it in a manner appropriate to the surroundings.

Just because you can doesn't mean you always do.  It's nice to have the capability, though.

By the way, I sometimes exceed 25 mph within city limits ... don't tell anyone.

Having said that there is an alternative to your issue with speed limits, you can always move to a town where they are higher, good luck with that.

Here is a better solution to the issue, learn how to create textures your self.

Bash Fest Alert ...

Sooooo ...

... by that logic, we should all respect Idi Amin.  He was a very good cannibal, so even if you find eating the flesh of fellow humans repugnant, you still have to respect him for doing it so well, don't you?  That's what he believes in ... so, if you don't believe in it and try to call him on it, you're just imposing your bourgeois scruples on the poor guy.  Just 'cause he likes to chew the occasional femur is no reason to besmirch his good name, is it?

Or, just maybe, there's an implied disrespect for fellow humans embodied in the act of knoshing on their extremities.  Like the implied contempt for those who do not find the actual representation of the human form in art repugnant.

I'm just sayin' ...

You are talking apples and nuts, mostly nuts.

What does cannibalism have to do with the fact a commercial product. I could see if you where comparing the fact microsoft does not include word with office. I'd say againg who gives a flying broomstick, cuz I use Open Office

Something I could not live with out is puppet master and Life forms for editing BVH's  outside of Poser.

I personally could give a flying broomstick if 3DU TC2 will convert M2's Toasts to Match M4 toast. If 3dU does not want to convert oh well. I will still but their products due to they are good products. Atleast 3DU stands up for what they believe in, I respect that, what I don't respect is the people who bash 3DU because what 3DU believes in.

I thought this was a community and not a bash fest.

Quote - You can even start P7 and P8 in diffrent windows and run them parallel.

For V4 and the other DAZzers, if you copy the foler runtimelibraries!DAZ into your p8 installation everything will work fine.

I run both P7 and P8 at the same time to see how clothing I create react in each version

I know that DuPont is working with another company on making paint (commercial)  using nano composites in the paint that when something scratches it is "self healing". I thought that it was so cool when I read about it, then I saw a TV show where it is explained how it will work and thought this is better that the self inflating tires

This is a subject I could almost go on and on about.

with the use of nano tech, composites are now cheaper to manufacture. However (there is always a however) the science behind composites manufacturing using nano tech is still along ways from being perfect, maybe we will see something cheap or affordable with these nano composites maybe 5 to 10 years.

A suggestion that was made by an airplane manufacture not so long ago that composite materials like what they use in aircraft maybe the key to keeping the weight down and still have a vehicle that is safe.  Some auto companies in the US have been looking into this along with other options like using heavy plastics tubes with honeycomb like cavities filled with a heavy liquid.

It is believed that the term originated in the 1970s, when automobiles became substantially more expensive due to increased government regulation. In the United States, many car dealers price their cars with very large stickers which can readily be seen by passerby, with the intent of drawing people into the lot. As prices rose, these stickers might have indeed seemed shocking, especially since inflation was rising at the same time as well.

Thanks, I just signed up for a membership since there are a few Items that are new that I want.

One of the best tools I have found to use for group editing is called Pegasus Modeler.  It lets you select the only the groups you want, you can even rename them from with in the program. It is not the best modeler but it is a handy tool to have if you use AGE and QC (Quick conform).

You should also include websites on this or locations where the content can be found.

Around here we call them Momma's Boys :m_hide:

No on a serious side of the matter at hand about whether M4 is too fem looking I think part of the problem is in the hands of Daz for making him that way. look at the last few Poser default males. They don't have smooth faces and they are not "handsome" out of the box. Heck they look like every day guys you see down at the bar (that would be me at the end)!
