Thanks for all your comments, Acadia. Hey-- with a Login name like that, do you have some connections to Louisiana too?

Hi Folks! I think the ghost is a prop from the DAZ free archives. They've redesigned their site so it seems you can't link to the free area from the home page anymore, but visit them and see if you can find it.

Hi Folks! Thanx for the comment: I was hoping someone would catch them. And thanx to cable TV, classic television networks, and lots of paperback reprints, having a knowlewdge of all these doesn't necessarily provide a clue to my age, LOL!!! Peter (Dr Zik)

I plan to post an image counting each day until Halloween. Hope you'll enjoy them! Peter (Dr Zik)

Hi Folks! Sherry embodied the kind of personal service that should be provided by any company that does business online. She always remembered my voice and my preferences, no matter how long it had been since my last phone order. I will miss her. Peter (Dr Zik)

Hi Folks! Welcome gulf! After you've secured lots of tuts and hard copy reference guides, don't underestimate the value and fun of just opening the application and playing around. That's part of the addiction, you know! LOL!!! Peter (Dr Zik)

Hi Folks! Thanx, Jim! You too deserve your very own looong chapter in that wonderful all encompassing book about Poser that is yet to be written. Peter (Dr Zik)

Hi Folks! In this era of global audiences and global markets 5% of anything is a helluva lot of people. I design web sites too. And I learned the hard way that there is still a significant number of people out in cyberspace who access the Web with old browsers and 13" monitors. I'm not trying to be contentious here, Exotica, to you or your web designer. Just be aware that if you ever intend to make your site commercial, a lot of those Netscape nitpickers are going to take their business elsewhere. Peter (Dr Zik)

Hi Folks! Kozaburo, you are a master. When the ultimate book on Poser is finally written, you should have a chapter covering your contributions. Peter (Dr Zik)

Hi Folks! Mac User here, since MacWrite and PageMaker v1.1. BTW Nance: I recall from statistics class in graduate school that a sampling of as low as 36 people can extrapolate a fairly accurate and reliable global model, if you prepare your survey instrument very carefully. I think these numbers demonstrate that developers should not ignore 3D Mac market. Peter (Dr Zik)

Hi Folks! Oh, and on your original question: Eve4 and her fraternal twin sister Azura (both still available from Traveller's Morphworld, I believe) have the most versatile vaginal morphs of any Poser characters I've seem so far. Or go with Jaeger's Millie morphs for Vicki (you're being too modest, Jaeger!) Peter (Dr Zik)

Hi Folks! curtskinn, one of the most versatile pubic hair props I've discovered is a creation by Tom/Alchemy art. I don't know how he did it, but the prop actually renders as individual strands of hair. With a bit of tinkering the realism you can achieve can be quite impressive. He has a version for the Poser Male and Female figuires, and they can be used interchangeably on Vicki, Michael, Eve, etc. You can find it at the Renderotica store. Peter (Dr Zik)

Hi Folks! The growing list of distinct Poser characters can be confusing to newbies. I recently created for my 3D/Animation class a handout that describes all the chaarcters in the Poser Universe so far-- starting with Dork and Posette and including Vicki (1, 2, Spermodel, etc.), Eve, Michael, Stephanie, Dina, etc. If enough people are interested I can process the document as a .PDF and submit it to Renderosity to post as an FYI file or something. Sooner or later someone is gonna have to write a definitive book about the Poser Universe and its history. I hope it's soon. Peter (Dr Zik)

Hi Folks! I was hesitant to mention Infini-D 4.5 until Alleycat169 did. I use it for modelling and importing into Poser by way of Painter 3D and UV Mapper. God, I wish someone would rescue that app from software oblivion!! I think the ease-of-use and leaning curve in ID 4.5 are so wonderful that I use it as the flagship tool in my animation courses for consumers, along with Poser or Bryce. (Or any of my students reading this?) I am, however, gradually migrating-- both personally and thru the courses-- to Lightwave via its junior version, Inspire 3D. I've had Animation Master for years, but I've never had the time to learn it-- and its learning curve doesn't appear to be nearly as inviting as Infini-D's is/was. Is there ANYBODY out here from the old Specular company that would like to see Infini-D get a new lease on life? Peter (Dr Zik)

Hi Folks! Wonderful stories, all. And I get to relive them vicariously for y'all every weekend, when I become a disk jockey for a few hours on Saturday nights. I get requests for Gloria Gaynor, Cameo, Parliament/Funkadelic, EWF, Barry White, Wild Cherry, the Ohio Players, and of course VP. Nice work, Virtual. But wasn't it the Police Officer and the Military Guy with the goatees, rather than the Cowboy? I thought he just had a mustache. Peter (Dr Zik)
