Would any of you be interested in a retro dynamic swimsuit? I am thinking of making one.

Oh and the 50s skirts... I could make those. Just give me some time. ;)

I've found that upping the Crease Angle under the prop Properties tab helps with a certain kind of cracks that seems to be due to the angles on the mesh being too sharp. It might turn up on heavily folded cloth without there being any discernable intersections.

I can't tell if this applies to your problem, but it might be worth a try. :)

Even if this is an old thread... ;)

I have an item that is hybrid/dynamic in my store, probably not allowed to link to it here?

It is for Dawn, but you can download a freebie V4 refit for the dynamic version also from me. :)

Hehe, remove this if it is unallowed 'advertising'. :P

Oh... thanks! :)

Hi, what is WW?

I think keeping the geometry in the prop file would not prevent people from stealing it... after all, people can simply save out a new .obj file directly from Poser.

I was on Second Life a few years ago (before they added custom mesh capability) and there was a lot of stolen work there, especially skins. I remember one SL skin creator who was always going on about his work being stolen by other skin creators inside SL. Well guess what? It turned out that this person had himself been converting skins he had bought at Renderosity. ;)

I am pretty sure you can report things like that though when you discover them, at least that used to be the case.

Thank you! :D

Thanks bagginsbill!

Now I am worrying about all those things I'm supposed to be doing... ;)

I'm definitely interested in more info on this - do you have a link to where I can download/buy that scene fixer script?

Hi vilters!

So I guess I need use the Custom Gamma Value in the Texture Manager that pops up when loading an image map, in order to force those maps to stay at 1.0?

Thanks for clearing that up!

I am thinking that probably makes the shaders a lot less different between P8 and PRO? Perhaps something that should be updated on older products when one has time then...

I would like to mention something else:

I had a lot of trouble with shaders I had created in Poser 8 when I transferred to Poser Pro 2012. Especially a velvet that looked horrible!

It might be worth having a look at your Gamma settings when rendering. The default Gamma setting in Poser PRO 2012 is something like 2.20. But to get the same results as you had in Poser 8 you will need to set it either to 1.00 or OFF.

This can be an issue when making materials for sale and wanting them to be backwards compatible.

Also, I ran a bunch of tests as I dicovered that Gamma affects displacements maps (which I use a lot)

Have a look at this for what happens to displacement when changing Gamma values:

As you can see, Displacement maps increase in strength when lowering the Gamma values and vice versa. This tends to be part of the reason why Poser 8 textures can look flat in Poser PRO.

I think it ends Wednesday though, so they will have time to fix it!

Same prob here, a non sale, downloadable, regular item for $13.95
