What, seriously? I'm in the Hot 20?! I thought you'd get e-mailed if you made the 20. But SWEET! Maybe all the work I put into that image was worth it. But why can't you see votes unless the picture is in the 20? That's weird.

No, I didn't just drag the folder elsewhere (and I doubt I could move a 7GB folder without noticing). I know this because first off, I checked. Secondly, I had a readme file from something else inside my Runtime folder that was still there; it was only the files in the folders inside the Runtime folder that got replaced. So it must have been an error or a virus or something. I'm just glad it seems to be back to normal now.

I just did a restore, and I think it's all back! (Although I needed to go back several days, which will likely bite me regarding something.) But YIPPEE!!! You guys are awesome! I LOVE YOU ALL! And I've learned my lesson. I will never, ever, ever download files again without making certain that they're not stolen first. Free stuff is good, but only when it's meant to be free - warez are EVIL. And if I ever find that site again, I'll give you guys the URL so that you can yell at them and get them closed down. And again, THANK YOU!

The site isn't in my history. I downloaded it quite a while ago but just now got around to installing it. And now that I've bothered to actually look at the readme, I see that it's a warez file. Excuse me for a minute while I swear. I don't believe this. I thought it was just a really large freebee. Dammit, it's actually Hankster's Temple Ruins Part II for Poser, and it's from the marketplace. Just great, so I deserved this. It's bitter poetic justice! But I didn't know it was warez, I was just searching for some free ruins. I'm sorry! starts sobbing

Well, I don't know if there's actually been an error. When you replace a file, it never puts the old one in the trash, it just replaces it and it's gone. But I've never had to deal with anything like this before, and I have no clue about anything. Isn't there somewhere where the replaced files go in case you replace them accidentally and need them back?

How do I do a restore system? I don't want to accidentally do something that will wipe out everything on my entire computer. I'm also afraid of restarting.

I use Windows XP. The prop was called Temple Ruins, and I downloaded it off some web site that I didn't bookmark and can't find again.

I am looking in the right folder. And I first noticed the problem when running Poser and discovered all my folders empty except for the new prop, so I'm certain I'm in the correct folder. I don't know why this happened! Dropping a Textures folder (for example) into my Runtime folder should only replace a texture of the same name if there is one. It should not replace the Textures folder with the new folder. Right? But this time it did. And with all my Runtime folders. If anybody can restore my folders, I will even pay you. Please. I'm very desperate here. I can't have lost everything.

No, I have those. I just want more options. Everything I do with the Daz morphs all looks like basically the same person. I could yank her into 3DS Max and make some fresh ones like I did for V2, but that takes a lot of time and somebody else has probably already done that and likely done a better job than I could anyway.

I've heard the P5 manual sucks. Are there places online that can walk you through this kind of thing? And what are your overall opinions of P5? Is it really much better?

Link how? I'm not sure what you mean.

Yeah, that would be great. Thanks. You can e-mail it to me at AlaisAngel@psi-fi.com

Steve, where can I get that dress? I want to try texturing it.

If anybody does figure out how to get V3 smoothly into Max, be sure to post a tutorial for the rest of us, okay?

IMHO, it's not easy at all. The seam isn't straight, so placing one low on the back takes some effort. Try it and let me know how it goes for you.
