I grabbed him, and so far, he's as advertised. Very cool. ;-) -- Walt Sterdan, Freelance

"i'd still like to buy that fantastic sci-fi hallway...." Do you mean that Penthouse they showed back when they first showed the bar? -- Walt Sterdan, Freelance

"I guess uploading just after the recent site makeover was a bad idea." Not to me! I didn't want to wait once I saw your latest picks; I've got 'em, and so far, they're perfect. Thanks very much for great add-ons for Dystopia... now quit sitting around and get the bar finished. ;-) -- Walt Sterdan, Freelance

I can't confirm the Eyewear Package problem, but the TreadZ for V3 aren't fitting; thanks for the heads-up. Since they work flawlessly in P5, I'm gonna conclude the problem lies with D|S (since it's up to D|S to be compatible with it's own models); make sure you report it as a bug. -- Walt Sterdan, Freelance

"I also don't seem able to apply Poser 4 poses to figures in DAZ|Studio. I haven't tried rendering yet." That shouldn't be a problem as long as you make sure that you have a figure selected in the Scene window before applying. What's happening when you try to apply a P4 pose (eg. error message, just nothing happens, etc.)?

"It's original. At first glance, it resembles the Invisiblle Man figure from Sixus, but there are significant proportion differences, and a completely different mesh structure." Thanks for clarifying; that wasn't obvious from the render. ;-) -- Walt Sterdan, Freelance

Is this an original? I'm not sure, but I think I already have this under a different name. ;-) -- Walt Sterdan, Freelance

Great stuff, as always! Any chance on a few more Girl/Luke/Laura conversions? -- Walt Sterdan, Freelance

"I am thinking it doesn't like anything but 10.3 but I am not sure. I still can't get it to render." Possibly; I installed D|S on an even-older G3 iMac (which is below the spec's, BTW) running under 10.2 and did a couple of quickie renders using OpenGL -- no problems; in fact I was amazed at how well it did work, considering they ask for a G4. It popped out a very simple render at 2000x1500, AA on, in under 10 seconds. Switched to 3Dream rendering engine and it crashed after rendering. :( Are you able to render using the OpenGL? Not that you should have to, but I'm just curious how close they are. -- Walt Sterdan, Freelance

I'm using the latest vesion on an old G4 iMac and loving it (first version since the original one or two that I'm happy with). I'm using the OpenGL for final renders, and for the type of shots I'm doing it flies. Despite the old processor, I'm popping out 2000x2000 final renders in 10-15 seconds, while the most complex shot I've done at 4000x4000 rendered in under 2 minutes, absolutely perfect for what I need. I haven't had it quit on me yet, even with using 3Delight; what settings were you using and I'll try to crash it. I'm using 10.3.5 at the moment. Biggest bugs for me so far: occasional "poly/mesh stretches" when I pose a model (saving/reopening fixes); filenames with uppecase extentions (eg. "PZ2" instead of "pz2") aren't seen by D|S; models without external geometry don't show up. Fixing the filename solves problem 2, opening the model in Poser and converting to a prop "fixes" problem 3. -- Walt Sterdan, Freelance

Looks pretty good; the only suggestion would be the boots, it seems to me angels of all types wouldn't be using laces. Strapped sandals, sure, or pull-on boots. I just can't imagine an angel breaking a lace. ;-) -- Walt Sterdan, Freelance

"as for names .. check out this guys random generator page. I think that'll help immensely .. I sue his stuff all the time." Great site, thanks for pointing it out. Interestingly enough, the first name it generated (female) was my daughter's Vice-Principal. ;-) -- Walt Sterdan, Freelance

"The Chimera's next and then the Madcat!" They all look great, Jon, many thanks. Any chance of going "old school" and doing a first-gen Shadowhawk (my 1st Mech) or a first-gen Marauder (my 2nd Mech)? Thanks again, Walt Sterdan, Freelance

"Geeze, there's so much to texture in this set!" You knew the job was dangerous when you took it. ;-) Very impressive work, it looks great. Well done! -- Walt Sterdan, Freelance

Outstanding. Congratulations, it's beautiful. Credit card standing by... -- Walt Sterdan, Freelance
