If you're interested in following up with them, the email is shelly@firstoncolour.com. Make sure you put something in the subject line about getting a price quote -- they had an artist last year who spent his offhours cruising porn sites on the internet on the office computer, and now they get saddled with somewhere in the neighborhood of 200-300 spam mails per day, all from x-rated sites. Shelly's good people, BTW.

No, it was a freebie from the incredibly talented and generous Motsura. Arrgghh. It's a great looking package too.

not to put in an obvious plug for a friend, but www.firstoncolour.com. Great quality, dirt cheap prices.

No, the problem seems a little more complicated than that. When I first opened it, I got the usual "new version but Poser will try to read it anyway", followed by a string of "Poser can't read _____________________________________/Shortsleeves.cr2", which I have -- it's the standard Ichiro clothing. So I thought, okay, maybe it means I just have to edit the pz3 and redirect it to the cr2 I have. That didn't work either. FYI: look on Motsura's Koshini/Ichiro page at Posermania. Go to the bottom. The item is called "Ichiro who wears a Poser5 suit jacket" or something like that. Great looking package, as all of his stuff is.

It is EXACTLY the same type of philosophy that allowed the Black Shirts to take over Nazi Germany in the 30's and 40's Well, it took sixty posts, but we finally got the inevitable reference to Hitler and Nazism. I wondered when that was going to happen. Yeah, anytime someone gets asked to follow a few simple rules, it's NAZIS and CENSORSHIP and OPPRESSION. Get real.

OMG -- it's a Shamms Mortier picture! LOL

Joey, Geo has always been a trouble maker so take no notice of his latest act of thoughtfullness against us trusting and goodwilled rositarians Y'know, I.m sure this kind of crap is just hilarious to you guys, but I have yet to see anyone really respond to the simple fact that IF SHE'S NOT WEARING ANY CLOTHES, SHE'S NUDE and the nudity flag, that oppressive little radio button, happens to apply. So when you finish your six year old giggles, you might want to remember that. It has nothing to do with limiting one's freedom of expression, just a simple request that you remind folks when you put up a picture of a naked person. Is that really so difficult, folks? If so, then clearly I'm hanging at the wrong forum because I was sorta under the impression that we had real adults around here. Feel free to correct me if I'm wrong.

I wish certain people would grow up Between this and the nonsense over "Omigod! I can only post one image a day!", it doesn't seem likely. But whatever, folks. Pretty sad day when simple courtesy is seen as a threat to one's sense of "high art". Sorry Lyrra, but this really ticks me off. Yeah, the site is a cool one, one of my regular visits, and Marinenet does some really spectacular work. But that doesn't excuse folks from sliding past the pretty simple concept that if she's not wearing anything, she's nude. I mean, is that so difficult to understand, gang?

Try doing a search for something called "Cody". It was originally a P$ guy character, but the hair should refit to Koshini without too much trouble.

OMG -- you have to click a button out of "fear"? "Limitations"? (Sorry, I don't understand that one at all) You think it's "censorship" to remind folks that the image you're posting is a naked chick? Get real and get thee to Renderotica, where they don't give a damn either way. But spare me your delicate feelings about being persecuted about this. It won't wash.

Geo, it's called "courtesy". Remembver "courtesy"? Courtesy says you click the damn nudity button and get over it and move on.

Uh, guys, it's Chandler and Joey's apartment from Friends. Now how cool is that?

As bizarre as it sounds, there are some folk around here who think that if you give something away, you're not violating anyone's copyright because you're not making money off it. Hey, I never said it would make sense.

Evidently you don't read very well, Hitler You know, this is the sort of thing that can get you drop-kicked out of here, bud. And I suggest YOU remember that before you write your next screed. Screw you and your demands for a civil tone. When you've learned some manners, boy, talk to me again. Until then, don't waste my time. And consider yourself lucky that your little "Hitler" comment doesn't get you a TOS slap.

That was so many years ago??? Uhm, no, not really. And like SR's, mine came from Metacreations. Let's reserve the suspicions for the things that matter, like the textures. Insofar as "I can't understand why anyone would post something in free stuff that they didn't make", look at it from the newbie's perspective: he put together what he thought was an original character. Yep, using stuff from the web, but don't a lot of us do that as well at first? How many times have any of us seen a freebie come with a catalog of required pieces from somewhere else? Is this so different?
