Ah. Thanks for confirming that.

Good. So it seems Wardrobe Wizard is a tool with two great indications.
I'm glad I bought it.

Although, since you are here PhilC, I'd like to advocate an expansion for anime specific figures :

• Anime Doll, by Maya (which is not exactly the same as Maya Doll, especially when it comes to the hips and neck)

• Himeko, by Billy T (sold on renderosity's market)

• Miki Doll, by PoserMatic
  http://market.renderosity.com/mod/bcs/index.php?ViewProduct=45114

Oh, and if it's an issue for the 2 last ones : just drop them in your public wish list and let me know. I'll be happy to offer them to you if it helps them get WW2 support.

Many thanks for the tips.

I've been into Dawn of War for the past 3 years, being the mod leader for a modification to the original game.
(you can check it here, if you are interested : http://spacedragons.free.fr/phpBB2/index.php. sorry for the shameless ad).

Thanks for the answer. 
Yes, I meant the delta files. Sorry for not being acurate.

After spending some time modding an RTS game, I am considering coming back to Poser.
I'll install Poser7 soon and I'd have one question :

Has Poser 7 the same problem with injections as Poser 5 had ?
I mean, in Poser 5, even if you had set up external runtimes, you would need to add all the injection files in the original Poser5 runtime or they would not work.
Is it still the same in Poser 7 ?

Thanks in advance for your answer.

I don't know who are the "we" you are referring to.
If you read the forums in the past years, then you'll see how many people said something along the lines of "The cloth room is crap, I can't do anything with it."
Well, obviously some people can, so it's not the program.

My statement applied to "a lot of people". A good hint when you want to know wether someone can be trusted about his/her "this app is a crap" statement, is to click to see his/her gallery and judge wether it is the software or the user who needs improving.

I won't enter into the lazy/stupid question, but if you want an answer to the "horny" one, just peek in the gallery and make the effort to browse every single pic posted for the last week, and the comments they get.
Numerous threads have already discussed this topic ad nauseam in this forum, so 'nuff said.

The professional attitude when one is disatisfied with a program is to think wether it is the program or the user who needs improvement. If it is the user, get a tutorial, if it is the program, then just dump it and move on to something else.
Poser is cheap and gives cheap results, what else could be expected ?
If this is not enough for you, buy Maya.
If you can't afford it, read posts of some very talented persons in there who pushed Poser out of its limits.

Whinning about Poser or CL or DAZ doesn't improve anything in the community.
Now, if you have a good tip, tutorial, freestuff or workaround to improve Poser's workflow, I'm all ears.

"Sounds like he's saying if you complain about P5 your not too bright and can't learn the app." Naaah. That only concerns "a lot of" of the people. Mainly keep on whinning after the initial Poser 5 problems, more than 2 years after these problems were solved. There are also people who CAN use the proggy, but just like whinning. But these are a minority. (Nice gallery you have, BTW). OK, CL botched the Poser5 release (I personally suspect that they needed fresh cash at any cost for their survival). OK, it took them a year to make up with it. But that was 2 years ago. Can't we move on, now ?

"Here they label you, as compiler does, a beginner or novice who doesn't know how to use poser at all." aeikema 1- I did not give no name. 2- AFAIK you did not complain about Poser 5 or 6, so you were not concerned. 3- I had a look at your gallery here. This did not change my view a bit. 4- The prejudice I see in this forum is against CL. It's strange to think that they produced the software that made this forum possible. I guess some people just cannot help but whine and complain. I prefer to try and improve my work instead and, admitedly, I still have a long way to go, but at least I don't blame my tools for my imperfect work. If you don't like Poser 5 or 6 or N, don't buy it, but why do some people feel the urge to demean things in forums ?

It seems to me that a lot of people who complained, complain and will complain about Poser 5 or 6 are just overwhelmed by it. They are not up to the learning curve. Let's face it, there is a huge market for people who just want to make a mostly naked girl image with minimal effort. What they want basically is a Poser 4 with a "make sexy art to post in the gallery" button and a "make porn animation for private use" button. Choose the girl, the type, the outfit (optional), the action and press "go". Poser 5 or Poser 6 is not for them. But they will keep on asking "hey, how do you make those cool renders ? I spent at least 12 minutes on my scene and it doesn't look as good. Poser really sucks !"

"So is there a point in telling us that you got your orders fixed with no problems?" err... yes there is : in telling you how I did, I thought that you could use the same procedure to get your own problem fixed. Isn't that what a forum is about ? Helping each other ?

I have had the "not a valid serial" problem. I PMed Curious Labs here and got a quick and friendly answer by Kathy. I was able to purchase the Poser6 pre-order. Hope this helps.

I am always amazed at how sure some people can be when prediciting the future. They must have big crystal balls...

Daz Studio 1.0 is out ? I thought it was still beta ? BTW, wasn't it due to be released in 1.0 form last year ? (sorry if I'm mislead, but there has been a huge hype last year about DAZ studio being the program to replace Poser, etc... and bow it seems the hype has dropped somewhat, so I don't know exactly what the current status is for this software).

I love corporate talk and their over enthusiastic announcements... "offers you ready-to-go, professional results. quick!" At least, they understood what the base Poser user wants. The famous "make art" button is probably scheduled for Poser 7. "CONTENT PARADISE REDESIGN" Suspense, suspense... Can they make it worse ? This said, and all cynism apart, I bought the pre-order...
