I'm a bit later for that thread but I experienced the same problem very recently. The final fix was to lower the render subd for my figure, which was okay since this wasn't a close-up. No more black renders after that.

Ok now I have a funny one: not only does the library not work normally (I have to run it through my browser!) but I can't display the renders. After I alunch a render, the preview window takes focus instantly and the rendezr tab can't be accessed. Any ideas?

Still no Paul?

superfly render , around 2 and a half min , give or take with fairly lowish settings . To be honest the progam feels like it needs more work , and iam pretty much going to wait for a service release before investing more time into it .

DUDE! Were did you get that batgirl outfit? :D

There is something I really need to ask about and thus, get out of my system: Poser 11, in its NON pro version, cannot do GPU rendering? If so, how can this version even compete with DS4.8? I am more of a Poser animal myself, only recently have I started to fumble with DS (G3... hard to resist). I've seen what the iRay render does, both in terms of quality and speed, and this gets me worried about Poser. Not all of us can cough up more that 300 bucks on their software... I was prepared to buy Poser 11, so I really would need things to be clarified :) Thanks in advance to whoever can do that for me!

Essentially, "action" type outfits shouldn't come with hig heels. That's my big gripe.

I also forgot one thing in my original post: as soon as high heels are involved, there is the issue of posing the feet. How should I pose the feet on a girl running in an alleyway if she wears heels? It always looks goofy.

I know for a fact that even if I am not a rich guy, I'd buy such excellent lookalikes as long as they are affordable, I agree on this with nekkidchikken. I discovered Fygomatic's stuff today on DeviantArt and that's what brought me to this thread. Now I'll just keep my hopes up :)

Cheers mate :D I'll try it asap.

Wait till the reboot the Care Bears with Jason Staham as a lead and Vin Diesel as the bad guy. Then we wiill know the end is nigh.

mrsparky, I'm the same guy :)

Actually, that specific weapon has no other name. In french only, as far as I know, it got dubbed the Delta Ray, absolutely for no reason. Both in japanese and english, it kept the Psychogun name.

This is what it looks on Cobra's arm:

As I said. My worries are about how this law could very well, in a not too distant future, drift away from its alledged duties to protect the kids, to plain and simple censorship of whatever material displeases Mr Ishihara & Co. When you hate specific categories of people and you can write a morality law, first thing you'll do is to target really despicable materials and people so you can have the public opinion backing you. Having shown how righteous you are, it becomes so much easier after that to take on those you really, really hate not because they would deserve it or anything, no; just because you hate their guts. Read his wikipedia and you'll see that's a lot of different kinds of topics and people. It includes black people who live in Japan, by the way. How long before he finds a trick to reclassify stories involving a rmance (and I didn't say sex, ok?) between a japanese univ student and an african exchange student attending Toudai? Leave him enough room and he'll find a way.

I have expressed what I'm worry could happen later. I simply really, really hope it won't and that somehow, a balance will be found. Cartoons are meant for entertainment. I just want to be sure they won't go apeshit and start hacking off some perfectly harmless books in the future in the name of political fanatism.

Who knows? If the governor's team were smart, they would create a committee involving their own delegates and a group of actual manga artists, old and well respected ones maybe, who would serve as a contradictor's voice should things get too much out of hands? I feel that somehow, if you are going to take decisions about the products of a given profession, you should meet the professionals.

I hope I was less sketchy in exposing this. With that I rest my case. It is usually said that once you've told your story entirely, you should let it go, which I do now.

Goodnight, good people, and may the polygons be with you.

Pjz99, the only way my preventions can be confirmed or not is by keeping an eye on the thing. I certainly will...

Miss Nancy: Yup, there are. It's a market in itself, aimed to an adult audience as soon as it gets kinky at all. It's also labeled as such. Manga with gay overone exist for younger audience but without the bits that are not fit for the youngsters to read yet.

Basically, there's manga for everyone if they look for it,, with factors in mind such as gender, age, professional field, social category, favourite sports, general hobbies, even tastes in food sometimes. I'm tempted to say, just like plain text books :) For example, can you imagine a manga about a guy and his 8 years old kids fishing, with nothing else happening in the whole chapter except the three of them staring at their line, waiting for something to take the bait? Well... it exists. And making it so it doesn't even get boring to read is quite a feat. Yet, it's working.

Somehow this has always amused me :)

pjz99: trouble is, the kind of manoeuver at work here (and that is what I fear to see happen in the long term) looks a lot like the old foot-in-the-door-crack. I don't know of a law that makes gay love illegal in Japan. Right now, on the national scale, gay rights are respected. The fact that a freedom exists though doesn't mean that nothing can be done to chip it off. Legitimate worry, I think. After all, they're politicians. I really want time to tell me wrong, though, be sure of that.

FightingWolf: for the sake of not causing the mods ire, I propose we carry on that exchange on a private basis, as I find many of your arguments well worth an entirely separate debate. I'm genuinely interested. Are you? If so, please, let me know :)

And I apologize if I gave anybody the false false impression that I was mixing together concepts  which are not related at all. I mean it, really.
