I have a 16gb iPhone with AT&T.  With AT&T you have to sign up with the data plan with the iPhone and it's $39.00/mo and it's unlimited data.  I got the iPhone referbished for $100 under the 2 year plan.  My Razor broke and I had to get another phone so $100 to have an iPhone was great for me.

Screen is a bit small for the forums, but I have used it with lots of zooming in and out and swipping back and forth and up and down to read a long post.

regular YouTube streaming vids are no problem but tutorial videos are pretty much audio only.  I have a Gnomon vid tutorial and threw it on the iPhone and you basically just see the screen but can't really make out what's being done on it - audio is fine.

but watching cats paly piano on YouTube vids, well there's no problem there.

works in PoserPro.  Just eats the rendertimes up.

Yeah such lousy customer service to call you 3 times and try and finally mail you something.

sheesh!

I was going to see it for it's toony aspects.

I've read nothing but horrible horrible reviews so far.  I don't mean your average "it's a kids movie", "been there done that" kinda of reviews.  I mean HORRIBLE reviews, like kids bored, no laughs, etc etc.

I'm gunna wait for DVD and rent if I see it at all.

remember StudioMaya is Japanese (spelling I know!).

what it means is

an individual has the right to use MayaDoll for commercial and non commercial use.

a "Team" of two people can use MayaDoll for mommercial and non commercial use.

a company may not use MayaDoll for commercial use.

the "Team" is to let team poser vendors create products for MayaDoll.  Many Japanesse poser users Team up to do a product, one modeling, one textureing etc.

There was a thread years ago clarifying it.  You might search for MayaDoll and see if you can find it.

Modo can be scripted.  I saw a OBJ script somewhere, must have been Luxology.  I was playing with Modo trial and it's been a while.

OH ...

and MORE CATS PLAYING PIANO!!! my iphone isn't filled up yet!

I thought the now locked thread was remaining rather calm and clarifications were being given.  especially about licences and reading them.

oh but lets leave the warez link thread open and available for everybody that makes total sence.

sheesh this place is touchy.

Wolf - Nice render.  don't know or own Vray.  Lightwave render is getting better but takes work to get something as nicely rendered as you who there.  I know I have that SA product, cant remember is that the Charger?

Quote -  I want to be able to use my renders for anything.  I actually don't really want to put V3 and M4 together like that, but I wan the freedom to do any sort of render for any purpose. 
Otherwise we are saying "you can draw a logo yourself and use it for a logo, but don't render one from premade meshes, as this isn't really your art at all you know."
Love esther

esther "I wan the freedom to do any sort of render for any purpose."

well - you can't.  It depends.  When doing commercial work it depends on the EULA of the product and what the client needs and demands.  If the client wants you to give them all working files, photoshop, lightwave, meshes, textures etc. when done with the project then your out of luck cause almost all poser products EULA is no redistribution of the mesh.

Now a client can buy the same products you are using, I've done this in the past for clients, I made a list of all products and the client bought them and I gave them all my working files but did not redistribute anything as the client had the poser products used.

book covers or CD covers usually are just renders and you can do commercial renders and distribute the images but again it depends on the clients specs when doing the job.

I did a CD cover for a band and in my contract I put that they were only allowed to use the images I provided for CD productions.  When the band went to make t-shirts and put the images of the CD cover as their logo then we had big problems.  Both with my contract useage and with poser EULA agreements for the products that I used.  Band ended up going in another direction due to the hassle of rights and I didn't get any more work from them.

When you do commercial works of art there are all kinds of sticky situations you end up in.  Do you own the rights to the image or does the client of the book cover?  Can you make posters after the client has paid for the cover etc.  All that comes under your contract with the clients.

the majority of poser users do not do commercial works and those that do read all the fine print of EULA and agreements of products to make sure they are covered when using poser products.

for commercial renders being sold or doing work for a client almost all poser products allow some form of this as long as you don't sell exclusive rights as you aren't the copyright holder.

that's why the Sanctum Art's EULA topic as well as the ApolloMax EULA come up from time to time.  But most don't read the Daz3D EULA and it covers similar topics in that agreement for every Daz3D product sold.

this is why I don't do much commercial work anymore, I hate clients and their demands!!!  it always sounds great to make $800 on a job until all my time gets exhausted making sure all the legal stuff is done properly and in the end with time of producing the job I end up at the end of the day with $50 in my pocket for 2 weeks of work.  Rarely worth it to me.

Quote -       Oh and yeah the incident may be three years old but it is still relevant because i seriously doubt he has stopped this behavior.

There hasn't been another post like that one at that site in three years.  I'd say that proves you pretty wrong and that how SanctumArt deals with this community has changed.

The Poser community loves a pitchfork feista no matter how much time has passed.

one can use Sanctum Arts products for commercial use.

one cannot make logos using the products or images that would be come trademarked by another company because the company would then have rights to the product and it's use, and only Sanctum Arts has that right.

Almost all Poser products have similar restrictions.  Daz has the same restrictions, from Daz3D EULA:

"DAZ gives no rights or warranties with regard to the use of any objects, names, trademarks, service marks, or works of authorship depicted in any 3-D Model(s) and the User must satisfy themselves that all necessary rights or consents that may be required for the User's particular use of a 3-D Model are obtained from the applicable third party(ies) owning or having rights in to such objects, names, trade marks, service marks, or works of authorship."

both EULA, Daz3D and Sanctum Arts have the same restrictions just worded a bit differently.

Sanctum Arts produces some of the best Poser models and products.  While some may have had problems with the way Sanctum Arts has done things in the past (3 years ago!) the poser community doesn't let a sleeping dog lay they like to beat dead horses (most of whom have never owned or will own one of their products).

I own several Sanctum Art products and have always been treated proffesionally by Mike and SanctumKitty.

You know it seems funny and all especially in a poser forum but consider this:

Colm and Sydd from RuntimeDNA - met online and got together and run one of the major poser sites.

many of the poser merchant duo's met online, colaborated and hooked up.

while it may not be the norm it does happen.  when people have similar interests and post all the time together then one thing can lead to another.

Don't kill the dream just cause your glass is half full.

my 2 cents which is worth about nothing at all.

Wear headphones or earbuds (man I'm getting old - earbuds sheesh!)

with headphones or earbuds in you 1 - don't have to listen to them and 2 people will see that your listening to music etc and doing your work and won't bother you much.

if you do not, then you run the risk of not fitting in with the group and there could be ramifications.

uh one copatibility issue I can think of off the top of my head is that Poser 8 is a 32bit application.

the i7-920 is dual cpu yes?  Quad will be faster in most regards.

Now with Poser Pro (Poser 7 with 64bit rendering available) and a quad you would be smoking. 

to be completely compatible with windows 7 etc you'll have to wait til Poser Pro 2 (poser 8 with 64bit rendering available)

Since your talking Poser 8 - your gunna be limited to 2mb of application ram under windows 7 due to the 32 bit poser 8.

Quote - hmm hope most of that star crasft armor is plastic or resin based, lol, because due to it's diameters a man would fall over and be unable to move in a suit like that, but it does look very cool if your strong enough to move in it.

Go to Blizzard.com and watch the StarCraft 2 movies.  The 1st one was a prisoner coming into a room and haveing the Grunt armour bolted to him.  Very cool animation.  Also one of the movies shows lots of Gunts moving about and how they hop run, the movies made it a bit more believable for me.

"I've fallen and can't get up!"

"quite your whining Grunt!  Forklift!!!  Can I get a Forklift over here!!!  Grunt Down!!!"

boom  boom Boom Ripley in Forklift  "Get away from him you bit-.....errrr...sorry..where ya want him?"
