that makes me laugh each time I read it... they compared the 3D model to the Movie mockup? ;) where!!! I wanna get photos of that baby....

Things like that make me want to roll my eyes every time I see them. Perhaps PT Barnum would have been just as correct to say that "There's a synic born every minute."

There are numerous photo references available for the Aliens APC (which you can have for a mere $12.99 + free super saver shipping at Amazon.com) with which to compare any particular 3D APC model.

As has been pointed out several times, people in the position to examine the model and compare it to the Aliens vehicle have been satisfied that it is different enough to not infringe.

The problem with the OP, and why he gets slammed, is that he (or she) runs through forums and screams about violations without knowing what's going on. He hits numerous sites with his unsupported accusations and then runs off ... you'll notice he hasn't been around in a while ... until the next time. This is not the first and will not be the last time that the OP set himself up as the IP Police.

He does this each time instead of contacting the brokering site with his suspicions. I suspect that it's not about the IP for him, it's just a stupid cry for attention. Sadly he doesn't seem to get it that when he pulls something like this he doesn't come out of it the hero but more like the butt of a joke.

I just love how spacedragon rushes into a site's forums, posts this kind of inflamitory stuff and then runs off never to be seen again ... until he/she finds something else to raise a fuss about.

Ouch, that one really hurt!

Quote - i'm working on it. the vowels seem to be ok just can't seem to get it round the consonants. it started of as a torus till i decided one ring was enough for anyone. it can be scaled from sumo downwards. though it hasn't been boned yet hehe.

Well, once it's been boned it should be much easier to manipulate.

hope it doesn't use too much memory

billy

But will it be Mimic compatible?????

That is definatly an must. To complete the animated retelling of  Chatterbox with a male lead there's just no other way...

I refuse to answer that one on the grounds it may incriminate, er, get my can TOSed. 

 

didn't some prick from nasa send a probe to investigate uranus

billy

I remeber that one! Didn't it just disappear?

Quote - Taint possible? What, you basking in My glory or linking the threads?

...

I know the former is possible...

I'm blinded by the light of your probe, Ell ..... aaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

Quote - Well, thank you Thom. You may bask in My glory now. ;)

So let's see... how do I link the penis thread, the anus thread and the anal probe thread... hmmm...

taint possible :P

As for the hole, er whole morphing anus thing ... it's certainly the one piece of anatomy that's been left behind, um, yeah, left behind in the world of 3D development. It would have to be a very good model for someone to charge for it, I mean really who want to pay for a bad piece of, er, well modeling.  I'd just hope that the teeth work better than Hiro's do!

Everything you do is wrong, Ell .... but you do it so right :)

If you looke at the product description for this:

http://www.renderosity.com/mod/bcs/index.php?ViewProduct=51980

the merchant gives a nice description (I haven't tried it yet) of how to get both
the model and the texture out of Bryce for use in other programs.

Hope that helps :)

That would be awful!

Can you imagine the uproar in Utah when all the protesters march around in front of the DAZ offices with signs that read "Mike needs dick!" ... it wouldn't be pretty

Sent to e-frontier marketing:

*Why on earth would you treat customers like this:

Quote - "
 This offer will be available only during the preorder *period and will expire when Poser 7 ships. The key new features of Poser 7 will be individually introduced with e frontier’s, “7 Reasons to Get Poser 7” campaign. The campaign starts on October 12, 2006

*Laslo Vespremi
Director of Strategic Marketing"

Do you not think that we would purchase Poser 7 if we were actually given the chance to see what the changes are up front? Do you think that by making some sort of game show out of releasing the product information that we, your customers, will think it's just sooo cool that we'll buy it for that?*

I've read numerous posts in forums around the web from people who feel similarly to myself. We won't be buying Poser 7 until we know what our hard earned money is going for. By playing this game trickling out information peacemeal e-Frontier is doing nothing but hurting its reputation with established customers and delaying any profits that it might be making.

I'm going to have to agree with  "Design Flaw"  being the primary problem category with Poser 6 (for me at least). If they would only install modern UI facilities I'd buy P7 just for that. It's little things like "multi-select" (say in the material room among other places), like a tree view for the library to speed up putting a scene together. Little piddly things like that which add up to make using the program tedious and sometimes frustrating.

Anyway, that's my $0.02.
