w00t first post XD

Thanks Xeres0002 Your amazing :)

No, I didn't mean it to sound as bold as that, what I meant, was just to tell the truth about the image. I don't mean for anyone to leave unpleasent remarks. I meant, just to be truthful about their friends art / image or whatever and don't say it's amazing when it's clearly not just because they're your friend. I hope i've made myself  a bit more clearer.

kk what I was originally trying to say was if comments and ratings are going to be left, then why not leave an HONEST comment if the work is sh*t then say so and say why but if the image is amazing then say so. That's why I get so concerned. People I know who have invested alot of thought, time, effort and study into  making an awesome image get no comments / constructive critique and then someone comes along loads up V3 spends 30 mins on it and knocks out a render and lo and behold it's the second coming, because this person knows practically everyone here, or is friends with practically everyone here. True friendship would say " that image sux, you could have done this or that to make it better "

......and breathe.....

  Uggh, get over yourself DigitalShinobi. And Prog might not be your cup of tea, but he's an excellent artist.

Gnolt, that's my opinion and I am entitled to it. So please don't come on this forum and flame me for expressing my opinion. Actually I was reffering to the comments people made about his images, that they were always " fantastic & amazing etc etc " no one ever said or posted " Prog, this image is a bit sh*t to be honest mate, you can do better " but like RGUS said....the hug club prevails with their secret spreadsheets and eternal ass kissing. It would be nice to see one image have truthful comments instead of seeing how far they can get their heads up each others asses. Anyhow, this is my opinion based on the observations I have made.

So, Gnolt, if you wish to flame me, go ahead. I don't know why you would as I don't know you and you don't know me. Your obviously  in the hug club as you lept to his defense without even asking me why I thought the way I do. So my response to you and other people like you, who have no logical reason and just follow the popular people because they want to be popular is this.................nothing as I can't be bothered wasting my time to talk to a mindless zombie with no opinions of his / her own.

Quote - Arrrgh mate... happens all the time to me... there are even peopel keeping spreadsheets of favs, comments, who favs, who comments.. and cycles the days to maintain a higher than would be expected rating for their images... it's called the hug club... and unless enter into the club and are accepted by them... that is fav and comment back... then your images will always be crap in their eyes. Small people with large egos and no artistic talent whatsoever... a bit like me really... but I rely on hopefully, some crativity in my images, not much I know.. but I try. We really don't need a rating system at all for artwork... the best rating system, is when someone buys your artwork, I really like that system.

lol I know what you mean, there was this one guy who I think everyone knows used to release a " poser babe with large breasts and no / or little clothing every friday and dedicated it to one of the " hug club " and the work was very poor and always exactly the same thing - example - big breasted poser babe - no clothes - chains - fire / ice / water / monster / demon / rendered in bryce.......and always got excellent feedback. such as amazing, beautiful etc etc. I thought to myself...do these people actually know a good piece of art when they see it.....I think not.

I have V4.2 with Juni hair and Milan texture applied and two infinite lights at 1000 x 1000 and it takes forever to move the model around via the posing camera etc etc. i've also did what svdl has suggested this has improved it somewhat, but not to the degree I'd hoped for. But thankyou.

Thanks for all your help everyone, I finally got it all to work I must have changed a setting without knowing it it. I just reset the prefs. :)

Use Transposer instead of native importer :)

Poser 5 should have no problems, but like I said, there is an update for Carrara %5 Pro, I have already updated mine to Carrara 5.1 Pro last week and everything runs fine.

Here's the link http://www.daz3d.com/support/downloads.php?product=car_down

Hope it helps :)

What version of poser do you have ? if it's P6 make sure external binary morphs are checked, also make sure you have updated Carrara to 5.1 from the DAZ  download site. I use Transposer and native importer without any problems.

I'm using both :(

sparrownightmare, pretty much covered everything there :)

Cheers patrick, I discovered this by messing around five minutes after I posted.

Thankyou anyway :)

Thankyou both very much :)
