AO stands for Ambient Occlusion. We know that IBL simulates Ambient light, but what is occlusion? Occlusion stems from the same root word as occult and means hidden or to hide. Ambient Occlusion is a fancy way of saying shadows, but remember they aren't real shadows. This is from a tutorial by KattMan that you can find on this website, http://www.ab3dp.com/ on the NG Extras page in the tutorials section. Its a nice little P6 lighting tutorial.

You must be patient grasshopper Tiari. All will be answered in due time.

Ok, here is the fix: 1. Insert James and select the genitals. 2. Open the Joint Editor and select Bend. 3. Select the outerMatSphere and input these numbers in the properties box. xTran.. 0.137 yTran.. 3.122 zTran..-0.441 4. Select the innerMatSphere and input these numbers in the properties box. xRotate.. 55 degrees xTran.. 0.000 yTran.. 2.808 zTran.. 0.606 5. Now move to the inclusion area on the joint editor and input these numbers. incl.. Dyn B = 270.544 incl.. Dyn C = 127.099 That should do it. Its not perfect but with the morph and these settings for the bend dial it should be good enough.

Please don't take this the wrong way but that is totally ludicrous ! If that were true then if I wanted to bend the foot I would use a morph instead of just using the "bend" dial ? Whateva !!! I didn't put this message up for debate or for a solution. I am just reporting a bug. The spherical falloff zones for the bend dial on the genitals are messed up. It can be fixed. When I fix it I will post the numbers to fix the dials. Nuff said !

But the morph, only goes so far. After applying the morph is when I want it to bend. Don't aks !:^>

Poser6 has too many bugs but you'll use Poser5 ? Bwahahahahahahahaha !!!! Owwww !! Stop it !!! My sides are killing me !!!! ROFLMAO !!!!!!!!

I just want everyone here to know that Rita is not a charity case in any way shape or form. She is just like any one of us that just wanted the upgrade and was having trouble so we all wanted to try to help her out because we care about her. One other thing, if I upgrade to Poser6, then if I sell my Poser5 to John, then John will not be able to register the Poser5 that I sold him ? Then if John wants to upgrade to Poser6 then he can't do that either ? Wtf ? CL is saying that I can't resell my Poser versions without losing my upgrading capabilities ?

Wait just a minute, this isn't sexkittens.com ! Who in the heck are you and where are my pants ?

Not a problem Dean. Its not like my memo........ummm what were we talking about ?

"I don't spend time at the usenet group. Perhaps I am missing out on something." Just to make a few points clear. 1. The Poser usenet group is a place where we police ourselves. There are no jackbooted thugs to tell you what you can and cannot talk about. Allmost every type of image is welcome and allmost every type of post is also welcome. We do not, however, contrary to popular belief, allow child pornography or copyrighted materials to be posted there. Both of those things will get you booted from your isp in a heartbeat and we will turn your asses in that fast ! You can read the Poser newsgroup Faq and Charter here: http://www.ab3dp.com/ ab3dp = alt.binaries.3d.poser 2. Don Tatro did not start the Model Challenge but did support the idea that we all at the NG came up with. Hawktoey and I bought some webspace and we run the MC out of there along with tutorials, the Faq and the Charter and also the Poser files which are little bio's of the people that post to the newsgroup. Chevy runs http://www.shar3d.com which houses models for those that don't have their own webspace. 3. Chevy, you know I'll do my part if it comes down to getting Rita setup. One way or another, she will be taken care of !

Rita has now posted here that she has not recieved anything from you Tori as of 3:43pm central standard time on 4/7/05. Click on her name and email her directly ? Don't make me get Creepy Clown to come put the mojo on ya !

"We are making changes to the TOS as it stands now. Shirtless BOYS will be allowed. BABIES in diapers will be allowed." Grrrrrrrrrr !!!! You give Creepy his dream of a slight retirement and then you snatch it away ! That is soooo cruel !!! You should be ashamed !!! I think you explained about Creepy pretty well XenophonZ ! http://www.creepyclown.com A pervasive creation by the beloved Don Tatro. RIP. Btw, JVRenderer, ya better watch out ! The last time sombody used the dreaded word "Dufflebag", they were banned ! P.S. If you want to change the damn TOS could you put a friggin ban on people writing a damn novel every time they reply to a post ? Half the crap you people say could be condensed down into 25 words or less ! Sheeeeeeesh !

Say goodbye to the dancing baby ! No bare chests ! Creepy finally wins at Rendo ! At least there is an upside ! hehe ! Rectumosity rides again ! Yeeeeehawwwww ! Git a rope !

"her butt is just terrible to work with!" Ok, I'm done for the day !!!! LOL !!!!

Cool ! Did you like my little animation ?
