Quote - Thanks for the suggestion Mooch, but I have to agree with Chris in that allowing file uploads in the forums would just be asking for trouble.  Currently all files uploaded or advertised {like the Freestuff Items} to Rendo are able to be checked before releasing them to the general populace, so we don't want to lose control in that respect.

We think it is better and safer for our members to not allow direct file uploads to the forums.

I completely understand your position, and Chris made some very good points of alternate methods of dealing with the situation in his post.

Thanks for the explanation.

Mooch.

Quote - Damn I should have asked ya all to do my avatar for me.!

It's supposed to be animated, but I can't get it to work. :cursing:

Anyways,

Mooch I could make a very basic avatar in about two maybe three days time. When I first started with Poser.

Infact I find that avatars tend to be easier than most other renders.

Anyways,  my current avatar, which is actually an animated one, ** took me oh about 15 minutes to do.**

And well as we can see via my avatar wich does not work right, I am not exactly what I'd call "proficient" either. :lol:

Yours,

Daidalos

Wow!! That one project would take me weeks. (I think.) :unsure:

Mooch

Quote - if they won't do one for free, have somebody take a foto of yer face, then use that.

as ya become acquainted with the software they use here,
ye'll be able to do yer own avatar, something distinctive .....

How long would it take to achieve that level of proficiency?  (I have dabbled in Rhino 3.0 a little, and TurboCAD.)

Thanks!

Quote - avoid those free avatar sites.  probly full of malware and copyright/trademark violations.
commission one of these artists to do an original one for ya.

I'd have to pay him? S/he wouldn't do it out of the goodness of  his/her heart?

What type or theme are you looking for?

Good question

I'm a regular at another forum. Can I do a shameless plug? :huh: 

Anyway, its main focus, is shaving with either a safety razor or a straight razor. I use a safety razor.

So something that would blend in with that atmosphere.

Thanks for the heads up about the Free Avatar sites. I knew about the copyright infringement issue, but I had no idea about the malware.

Mooch

Anyone know?

Thanks.

Quote - I don't know if they have anything to with razors here but this is a fun site & the figures make cute avatars..  If you'd like to use one & don't have a program to resize it in, I'd be happy to do it for you..

Thanks for that advice. I probably spent more unproductive time there than I should have.

Not hat that is a new thing, but, thanks.
