Yeah. I want something that will actually work. :-p I wish Adobe would step up with a Jpeged PSD format.

"...unless u saved each layer and each alpha channel into a differemt jpg." You got it! I'm trying to save each layer, and it's alpha seperatly. JPEG them, and let the user recombine them.

Sure. I'll help you out... A left a few DVD's filled with every poser object on earth at your local FBI office. Just look them up in the phone booke, go in and say, "I want to go to jail for piracy and be fined $10,000 for every item I've pirated!" Then wink at them... it's secret code. It'll be ok. Really. }B-D

But even LZW Compressed TIFF's are an order of magnitude larger than a Jpeg.

I think it's impossible to check every free stuff item. Look at the delay's in getting stuff up in the MP and that's stuff R'osity has an internst in getting up there. I do have an idea for a halfway solution though. Make Free Stuff more like the Marketplace. Treat every free stuff item as a zero cost sale. This would let R'osity and the free stuff distributor keep a record of who downloaded what and when. In the even of a Warez problem, a message could be sent to all the downloaders informing them, and it would keep a record of of losses for some one like Anton to use against the Pirate. It would also open up the opertunity to some welcome Free Stuff improvments. Like adding preview renders and a REAL product description. Something more than just a thumbnail. You could still require the user to link to their own server space for both the file, and the previews while only increasing the overhead of server space used at Rosity by a small amount. I personally hate having to download something just to see what it looks like. I would welcome a more verbose product description. It would also make offenders easier to catch. I would also like to see an optional download limit so a user doesn't bang the free stuff providers bandwidth to death.

You post obvious flame bait, and then get upset cause you get flamed? If really want an answer do a forum search on "Art" or "What is Art?" The dead horse has beaten so much your just pounding the ground where the horse fell. MOD'S!!! Please step in and Lock this topic. Thank you!

Ever hear of PHOTOGRAPHY, or Motion picture film? Even if you ARE a geneticist, you still didn't grow the person your taking pictures of. (Or else we would have had a major media blitz about it already.) WHY is it any different to take a pircute of stuff you like in a virtual world than it is to take a picture in the real one. You must not consider PHOTOGRAPHY an art form.

I am working on making a V2 and V2 Reduced Res with Joints like V3. As for UV Maps... I'll leave that to some one who is better suited to the job. Making V3 compatible UV Maps for V2 and V2RR is going to be no easy task.

I'm away from home at the moment. But before I left I finished a fully working V2toV3 prototype. She bends real nice now. I would like a little more feedback than just, ... , if you don't mind. Besides Roxanne, what morph sets are out there that you would like to see on V2toV3. Remember that the morphs are going to incompatible between V2toV3, so if you want them, I need to convert them now. Let me know what you think is essential for V2toV3 and I'll contact the creator of that package to see if want to participate. Would you rather have morphs included like V2, or in a Morph injected Pose file like V3? I'm leaning toward Morph injections, but it's going to be a lot more work for me. Tonight I'll get a rough Reduced Res V2toV3 working as well. That will give us 3 resolutions of Vicky to work with! I'm also going to try and create a face morph closer to V3 Any one good at UV mapping, good enough to make a V3 Map fit on V2 and Lo-ResV2, please E-mail me. Also... what the worst pose that Vicky2 cracks in, but Vicky3 has no problem with?

It's also a matter of compatibility. Poser people are notorius for using rather antiquated PC's. V3 is 2.5 times larger than Vicky1-2. It's like loading almsot 3 Vicky's and that before you load morphs. With morphs she might be more woman than some peoples PC can handle. Morph injection lets you load only the morphs you need. So even with a stripped down Vicky3 you can get good results. I'm hoping there will be updates that convert V2 and the other older millenium figures to make use of Morph injections.

I have most of his stuff, but I would gladly Pay $2 at platnum club for his stuff.

Even if it's all just for attention, he's not getting away with it. I'll just keep competing with him till he gives up. So for I've spent a total of 2 hours calmly doing what he did, BETTER! And it only took that long because I'm teaching myself how to UV map.

Right after I posted above... I was still thinking about it. Has anyone played with making Transmapped hair as dynamic clothing? You should be able to do some wonderouse stuff like that, It would take much less time to render, and would export. I smell a big market for the person with the right skills.
