Ditto this.

Or at the very least,  have the vendors include in their discription which one should be contacted for different types of questions.

Example;  if one vendor did the modling,  and the other did all the textureing,  include that in the discription, so I know to contact the one who did the texturing if I have a question about the textures.

I agree.

If I try to put something in my cart that I have already purchaced,  Rendo's system recognizes that I already own it and stops me from buying it a second time.  How hard would it be to apply that to the rotating sponsored items feature?  After all,  the vendors are waisting their sponsor money showing me things that I already own,  and it would make sense to only have things the logged on user doesn't already own show up there.

Hi Gareee, Thank you again so very much. I really appriciate the help. All this new technical jargon is going to take a bit of getting used to... silly me, I figured that a 'figure' was a person. ;p Cactuskim

Hi Gareee, Thanks for the info, I will give that a try when I have some time this evening. Oh, One other Quick question; when the clothing program that I got from Daz installed, it put the clothing package into the 'figures' area of the libary... is that correct to have it there? (It did the same thing with the hair program that I bought too.) if they are in the wrong areas/files how do you move them? Thank you again for your help. :) Cactuskim

Hi everybody, Thanks for the tips. I have checked out several things over the last couple of days, but I have a lot more to check out still. I was able to install the Michael3 and Vicky3 figures as well as the one clothing pack that I bought for daz, and I was trying to play with them this morning. LOL, at least now I can figure out how to change figures. I do have 2 quick questions that I hope that you can help me with. the first one is how to open a new file so that it has name a name and I get to chose the file size etc...? In photoshop, when I open a new file, it lets me chose a name, the dimentions of the file, and the resolution. with poser when I open a new file, I get James casual in an untitled file with no choice of file dimentions. how do I get around this? the other question is the clothing package that I bought from Daz is designed to go on Michael3. So this morning, I opened a new file, deleted james and opened michael instead. before posing or moving him around at all, I tried to put a pair of the pants on him, and they don't line up, and they don't seem to want to move around and line up. How do I get them to fit? From what I gather reading things, once I get them lined up on a non posed figure, I can then 'Parent' them to the body, and then they will move with the figure as I pose correct? so how to I get them on in the first place, and how do I parent them? I really appriciate your help, thank you. Cactuskim

Hi Trevan, I'm new to Renderosity too. Welcome. I remove figures from screen shots all the time... I also blend their heads onto other bodies too, but that is another subject. ;p... and then I remove the backgrounds and replace them with other backlgrounds. The easiest was to do this is to use yout Polygon Lasso... the regular lasso requires too steady a hand to do something as intricate as a whloe figure. and the magic lasso will leave you with too much edge work to do... it tends to take either parts out of the image you want to keep, or leave too much behind making for a rough look to the edges. Set it at a 1 px feather, and then magnify your image way up so that you can see the edged between your figure and the background clearly, and start selecting your figure. it is important when using the polygon lasso to click at frequent spots along the edge that you are selecting because of the belzor curve that it uses. the good news is that if your hand get tired, you can take a break and come back to it. Make sure when you are selecting that you place your selections line exactly along the edge between the figure and the background not to one side or the other. when you have finished selecting (you will see the moving dotted lines that my sister calls 'the martching ants') go up to select > inverse. now it is the unwanted background that you have selected. go to Edit > Cut. Your old background is now gone, and you have a realitively clean cut figure with slightly soft edges because of the 1px feather... the very slightly soft edge will help you make a smoother blend onto the new backgournd. now if you pick a background that has a fair amount of texture and detail, or is very close in color to the previous background, you will have to do very little work cleaning up edges. if there is a big differance from the previous background and you are seeing sharpe dark or light lines along the edges, put up a solid colored contrasting backgroud like white or red behind your figure and use the eraser on a low opacity... About 30% ... and with a fairly small soft edged brush... abolut 2 to 5 px. and gently erase any stay pixels around the edges. That is it for the selecting and edge cleanting part. I hope that this helps you. Cactuskim
