Very nice. It looks like you put a lot of thought and work into the image.

Impressive.

My interpretation of Dejah Thoris, first presented here...

...this time placed in an actual setting, Petipet's "Atlantida Temple Props" throne with dais.  It possesses a kind of Art Deco style I thought fitting for Barsoomian architecture.  I altered the default materials to suggest copper based metal and I hid the original Egyptian styled hawk icon above the chair with a sphere, mapping it with the infamous "canals" Percival Lowell imagined he saw upon Mars.

Purchased it yesterday...and the Tabby set as soon as you released it.  Oh, I got the Dalmatians as well, but I'll confess I'm partial to felid anthros.

Sorry I have not responded until now.  Yeah, I figured it would be a case of applying "magnets" or the "morph brush" to the deltoid regions to shrink or flatten them.  I had hoped somebody had created an inject-able morph that one could just "load and go".  But I gather it's something we'll just have to do from scratch on our own.

Still, thanks for the feedback.

Really stupid question on my part, but looking at the respective avatars, JoePublic, were you earlier known as Stahlratte?

Thank you, bwldrd!  Stahlratte!  That's right.  I'd read that name and imagine a mouse that has ran out of steam.  And I'm blown away to see the WayBack link is actually valid!  I just tried it for "shiggles" and it downloaded.  Admittedly, I have managed to recreate Dee Rainged using Victoria 4 with the Aiko body shape and the GIRL head morph, but this is the one I have ready to load at a moment's notice.

@redfern, I think (could be wrong) it was introduced in poser 11,  as far as retaining rigging.. hit and miss unless it's been improved in 13.  Some things import in fine, others not so much, both in 11 & 12.  Not tried in 13 yet.

When was FBX import introduced (I'm way behind the times still running PP2014) and do such files retain their rigging when brought into Poser?

One thing to keep an eye out for is... old laptops. The battery in a 10-yr old laptop will start expanding eventually. If it starts doing that, then carefully take the battery out before it starts to bend the MB or other parts.

Mine is an AC powered tower unit I purchased in December of 2021, so the issue you've described wouldn't affect me.  Still, it's something to consider for lithium cell powered devices.

If you are not aware of this, you have an excuse: many people ignores the fact that since Win10 on, turning off the computer does not turns it really off, it's a kind of deep hibernation in which the power unit is really off, but your Windows, when it's restarted, is rebooted with most programs off but the resources not refreshed. If Windows was overloaded, it's still  there.

So, are things truly refreshed when I power down my machine AND unplug the hardware from the wall socket?  Because that's what i do when things seem to get really squirrely...or if threatening weather is approaching.  (In the latter case, yes, I will also disconnect the computer from the ISP hardware so that is fully separated from any possible electrical input.0  Of does the machine continue to "purr" while in the deepest of "comas" using the onboard battery?  If so...DANG!!!

I fear I may jinx myself just by posting this, but I think (read: HOPE) I have corrected the issue of my silently crashing Poser sessions. Today after lunch I bit the bullet and ran the program, opening the project that initially demonstrated the problem. I kept the program open only 30, maybe 45 minutes as I made considerable progress, going so far as to place the dressed figure into an actual environment. (When I experienced the program crashes last weekend, "Melody for A3" stood within a blank void; I got no further than that.) Today, however, I was able to place her within a dojo. Paranoid from my experiences last week, I saved several times during that short session and closed the application (thankfully in a controlled fashion) before opening a browser so I can post this message.

Oh, the caption that goes with this piece reads, "Mzzkiti is Puma Thurman in 'Kill Bill the Cat'!"

(Rest of forum members groan in chorus!)

Rolling back a Windows update will affect your Poser licensing and it would need to reset.  Given the situation, starting and restarting the program stabilizes it, that's the purpose of restarting your computer every once in a while just to clear out your memory and reset your all programs.

Have you tried rolling back the last Windows update? Since the problem is very recent.
