I believe I've found what the problem is. If you check azvampyre's 3rd comment here they give the url where the file they couldn't download was stored. There in the download code there is a 300 second expiration. So, that could be the time allotted by github for certain file downloads. This explains why I always finish the download in 5 minutes whether it's 1.1 1.2 or 1.3 GB.

The solution according to azvampyre was to change this number to 999999 and re-download. However, I am not sure how to get this detailed url for the download. Is there a tool that tracks it or let's you see the whole url from the storage space?

Actually I tried 3 times today and I got 1.1GB, 1.2GB and 1.3GB :) So how many attempts left till it climbs to 7GB?

I'll try again later on another pc but it's still on the same wifi network so I don't know. The thing is the download is super fast for me. I get that file in about 5 minutes which is why I'm stumped as to why it's timing out. The only thing I haven't tried is using GetRight which I will attempt as soon as I get back from work and let you know if that works!

Thanks! I will keep trying with your suggestions.

Well I keep trying and I don't think it times out because if that were the case it would time out at different sizes right? I always get just 1GB and the zip is called Microsoft_Rocketbox_master.zip so it looks like it might be part of a multi-zip archive. I'm trying to download from this page: https://github.com/microsoft/Microsoft-Rocketbox I click on the green button that says Code and click on Download zip. Am I missing something? Is there another way I'm supposed to download it? This is really getting ridiculous as I've tried it on Edge, Mozilla firefox and Chrome. I'm running out of browsers :)
Any help will be greatly appreciated!

I keep downloading the zip and it finishes at 1GB but the zip file cannot be opened or extracted. I'm clicking on the Download zip link as shown above. Is there any other link to download?

This is a pleasant change!

That worked perfectly! Thank you!

Where do you add that? This has been bugging me too :)

BagginsBill has an alternative to the default camtarget.obz. You can find his here.

Navigate to your Poser 11 Content folder and in Runtime/Geometries/Camera you will find the original which you should back up and then replace it with BB's. It is not exactly what you've asked for but is much better than the default one. I've replaced it in all versions of Poser that I use. It looks like this:

"So my main question is this - how do you people connect up the various maps to the Poser_Surface node ? (Note: I'm using Poser 11 Firefly, but if you use Superfly I'd be happy to see responses for that too)"

For Superfly I would assume the PhysicalSurface node would be better? In any case, I would be interested to see how they're connected across all three types of root nodes (PoserSurface, PhysicalSurface and Cycles)

I had made some .pz2 files years ago to make Mike2's hands bigger so I just replaced the values and made you some more. If you need them smaller then you'll have to edit the .pz2 file. I used Edit Pad Lite and it's just a simple matter of adding the value and the one to replace it with and it replaces all instances in one go - much better than fiddling in Poser :) Here's the link: https://www.dropbox.com/s/8vd96rld00tbn84/handsscale.zip?dl=0

Thank you! And thank you for making it compatible with previous versions. Also, for people who are worried about the Poser Pro 2014 library not working when Flash and/or Air are discontinued P3DO is an excellent alternative - I had been using the free version for years and recently got the Pro as well.

Those are clearance items and as such are not included in sales.

In your image above I see a mane on Whisper. Select this and apply the Gold mane .mc6, long or short whichever you prefer TO this mane that you have selected. The color change may not be visible so render and see how it looks.

The gold mane will not show up under characters, an .mc6 file is not a character file, it just changes the textures/colors/transparencies of the character you have already selected (the mane). You need to render to see it sometimes.

Sometimes changes are not immediately visible - can you try rendering and see if there is a difference?
