PSP has a free demo that you can use for 30 days... you can d/l it at http://www.jasc.com

looking better brainmuffin :-)...a possible solution for the thatch roof might be the same type of trans map I used to the Vicki hula skirt that I posted to FreeStuff this weekend. I used the "grass blades" tube from PSP 6.0 in several layers & then trans mapped from there.

brainmuffin I really like it, in fact it's way beyond my meager modelling skills, (at least so far :-), but Alle & Colt are correct... the quality of a model is in the details. As an recommendation from old, broken down, semi-retired construction guy, including some or all of the following will help immeasurably with a more "realistic look" & therefore a more salable model window frames door jambs metal trim... hinges/keyholes/etc. handles/knobs on the shutters door thresholds exterior corner trim on the buildings (always the weak point of a wall) chimneys some type of support for the offset wall at the front of the building. The technology of medieval times didn't allow for precast concrete to "float" the way it's shown in your pic. there was always some sort of beam support used (think Swiss Chalet balcony :-)

I don't have a readme.txt file for it, (if there even was one :-) so I don't know who to ask permission of, but if there are no objections, I'd be happy to send the pz3 file (3.5mb zipped to 400+k :-)to anyone who would like to drop me an email.

dammit Bushi... every time I feel like I'm starting to get a small foothold on this modelling stuff, you or PhilC, Thorne, nerd, et al come up with something like this that just makes me shake my head at the computer :-)... they are absolutely wonderful. Thank you

You'll find a complete list of "bug fixes" on Larry Weinberg's page (there's more than you think :-)... http://host-1.ghosteffects.com/poser/patch/fixes.html

If it will help this is the readme file from the Poser patch I d/l'ed from Larry Weinbergs' site... (http://www.ghosteffects.com) To install, you will need to manually copy each file to it's proper place within your Poser folder. !------------------------------------------------------------! !!! It is important to remove all of your current plugins in RuntimePlugins and make sure that they are located completely outside of the Poser folder (not in any folder underneath Poser) -- or are deleted. If you leave any around, you may wind up with two menu choices for the same import/export choice and one of them will be likely crash the application. !------------------------------------------------------------! To install, copy each file as noted. The files in the update are stored in folders whose names tell you what to do with them. 1) Remove all of your existing plugins in the "Runtimeplugins" folder underneath Poser (as noted above) 2) Backup (or delete) your old Poser4.0.exe executeable file if you wish. 3) Copy all files from the folder called "Put in Poser Folder" to your Poser folder. 4) Open the "Put in Runtime" folder included with this update. 5) In each of the folders located in "Put in Runtime" you will find files or more "Put in..." folders. Open each of these until you find a file that isn't named "Put in..." and copy it to the appropriately suggested folder under your Poser folder. Hopefully you will find them all. For instance, underneath "Put in Runtime" is a folder called "Put in Geometries". Inside that folder is a folder called "Put in maleCasLo". Inside that folder is a file called "maleCasLo.obj". You would then copy this file (maleCasLo.obj) and put it into the runtimegeometriesmaleCasLo folder under your Poser folder. Good luck -- and please don't find any more bugs.

AFAIK there is no "collection" of Poser fem shoes out there but if you look around you can find a fair number of them... start with a search of FreeStuff, looking under "shoes" "heels" "sandals" "boots" etc etc & move on to PoserWorld & Props Guild from there & in no time the Imelda Marcos corner of your Posettes' closet will begin to fill out :-)

Elefont is a 3D text generator that will export in either DXF or POV-Ray format & is available at... http://www.armanisoft.ch

Otay... BlkBuddah & I have finally cleared up our file transfer problems & the Hula Girl set is available in FreeStuff for your downloading pleasure

Sounds like you're using the auto installer that several people have had similar problems with... go to http://host-1.ghosteffects.com/poser/patch/patch.html & get the manual install patch.

actually bloodsong, the pose shown is just a few minor adjustments away from one of the Vicki poses that Jack made up for the "JDK poses for Vickie V1.0" pack that's posted in FreeStuff. btw this stuff will be available as soon as I can get the files to BlkBuddah... both his email accounts threw up when I tried to send the zip last night :-)

nope but I was married to a lady who was Eurasian ( Japanese & Dutch) & was born in Hawaii... btw I just heard back from BlkBuddah who is hosting these files for me & they should be available in FreeStuff shortly :-)
