Can you get into the Members Only forum? If that's the case, then check and see if you had already purchased the items before. If you'd already purchased something once, then the second time around you don't get the Plat price. If you can't get into the Members Only forum, then your memebership might not have renewed yet. Are you paying by credit card for a monthly renewal? Sometimes it can take a bit of time before the credit card companies admit a sale went through. Otherwise, you'll need to contact sales and they won't be available until Monday.

Hope this helps,

Cres

You need to look at the bottom part of the .cr2 in a text editor to see where it is being referenced then remove it. (At the bottom of the .cr2 are all the materials and their settings including what texture maps to use.) The incorrect reference may be in the material Preview area if you don't see any signs of the old texture map when you render the figure on your computer. Hope this helps, Cres

Dynamic cloth works on DAZ characters just as well as P4 and P5 characters. The face room works only with the P5 male and female. No other characters work in the Face Room. RuntimeDNA has some good tutorials on P5, including the nodes in the Material Room. Cheers!

The Serengeti prop doesn't use all the materials in the Mil Environment. The ones it doesn't use are just left completely transparent to let the materials behind them show through. Cheers!

Thanks for the link. The first tutorial for the "Shade 7 Beginner's Tutorial" wants you to open up Document folderTutorial folderChapter 2robotcmp.shd. I can't find the robotcmp.shd file anywhere in the program. Is there a place to get a hold of the files to do the tutorial? Thanks, Cres

Is there a manual available, or tutorials for the demo? I couldn't find one on the CL site nor in the installed demo and the Help file doesn't work. Thanks, Cres

Hey, Jack! Long time, no see. :) Kristta, there are a lot of bookshops around that carry Computer Arts magazine in the U.S. though they're about a month behind the U.K. Borders and Barnes and Noble often have them and they do have the CDs included. Cheers!

My tutorial is located at: http://www.fallencity.net/tut-posa/poptop1.php Cheers!

Thank you very much for the Inn. I couldn't tell in the readme if commercial renders are allowed with this Inn, though. Is this okay, or is the inn for non-commercial renders only? Thanks! Cres

Ethesis, the best way to get information on Mimic 3 is to talk to DAZ, especially since it sounds like you're trying to get an official DAZ statement about the program. I posted the coupon info here as a courtesy to make sure people were aware of it. Cheers!

The problem is, the scaling and joint parameters are different between figures. I can jury rig M3's shirts to conform to David pretty easily with just minor tweaks for stills - the pants are a whole different matter. (That doesn't take animation into effect, either.) And it's not just a case of overall body scaling - the proportions themselves are rather different. I've run S3 clothing through the Clothing Converter so they'll fit V3 and have had to do a lot of tweaking for gaps, even after very carefully scaling everything. Cheers!

Bryan just posted the coupon:

*For those of you that purchased Mimic 2 Pro and would like an additional $10 off, use coupon code:

MimicProUpgrade

That should do it. Enjoy.*

I really don't know as much about Mimic as I should (shh! don't let DAZ know! ;-) ) so you might want to e-mail to sales@daz3d.com to ask them.

Hope this helps,

Cres

The refit files are for people who'd bought Koshini 1 and her clothing. The files make the older K1 clothing K2 compatible. It's a curtesy for people who'd bought K1 so they don't have to buy all new versions of the outfits for K2. Cheers!
