Thank you so very much! :)

Quote - If you click on an empty button on the python scripts window, you will be able to navigate to the script.

Thank you - that was what I couldn't figure out.  I knew it had to be something simple like that.

I really must be dumb, because I can't even get out of the gate.  I followed the instructions in the file, but when I get to this step:
*> Run the python script :Runtime:Python:vss:vssMainButtons.py

Nothing happens.  I have tried going to the 'file' tab in Poser and running it from there.  I have tried just clicking on it from windows.  I have looked for it in the python tab in Poser.  Even gone into the material room to see if it's somehow hiding in there.  I just don't see where the 'syncronize' button is supposed to appear.  I even tried it in both PoserPro2010 and Poser 8 just in case it was some problem with different versions.  I'm sure it's stimple, but can some one please help?  I'm tearing my hair out because I know I'm probably missing something obvious but I just don't see it and I'm soooo frustrated.  Thanks.

I think teen girls will want to make a Poser version of Justin Beiber so they can take his clothes off.

Wow!  Just the sort of help I've been looking for.  I now 'get' magnets for the first time, thanks so much.  Seems easy now, now that I understand, but I needed it explained in simple english first.

Obviously, lighting is a much more complex issue and I'll say thanks to BB for his help - I know you do a lot for the comunity.  I never even thought about different light sets clashing with different shaders and GC - now that you say it, of course it makes sense.  It's like putting on your glasses after you already put in your contact lenses, but that never occured to me.  I'll devour anything else you put in this thread, but I already understand way more about what's been giving me problems than I did before.

Holy diver/and you've been down too long in the midnight sea
Oh, what's becoming of me

I've never been tempted to get Studio - Poser works for me and I don't want to spend time learning new software - I just don't see the point.  I'd rather spend time learning new tricks in Poser than re-learning in Studio things I already can do in Poser.

SeanMartin, that would assume that DAZ primary interest is in selling the software - it looks clear to me that their main revenue stream is from content.  This is just a guess - I have know inside knowledge - but I suspect Studio only breaks even on what they have to pay their programers to create it.  Their main revenue stream has to be content and there is no motive for cutting off any portion of that market.

Forget the toddler - what I'd really like to see is a decent baby.

Really, guys - DAZ sells content, that's where their money is.  They are not going to try and drive off any portion of their market - what would be the point?  They only developed Studio because at the time, they were not sure if Poser was going to have a future and they wanted to make sure there was a fallback.  Plus, having an entry level program that is free is a good way to bring in new customers to the hobby.
There is no evil plot with the toddler - it was a last minute addition and when it was clear that it couldn't work in Poser, they gave it away as a weekly freebie.

DP, no problem.  I assure you, I'm on no one's payroll.  Were there another kid figure, I'd probably be supporting them as well - the more the better because there is not a lot of choice in this area.

I describe myself as the world's only Bahamian Zionist - in fact, I'm a Christian by faith, but my great-grandfather was Jewish.  His last name was Solomon, if you please - can't get any more Jewish than that!

K4 is supposed to be 4-8 with the Toddler taking him a bit lower.  I don't know why that the younger age is more popular than the 8-12 age (which I wish there was a decent option for).  I've seen a couple of young M4 morphs that seem promising, but still nothing quite there yet.

Oh, **dphoadley, you are Israeli, right?  Go check out the newest pic I posted today in my gallery - I think you might like it.  I hope so, anyway - I put a lot of feeling into it.

Sheesh, DAZ isn't paying me a darn thing.  I have posted here on occasion - honestly, its usually when I find a technical problem I can't solve in Poser as people here are so helpful in that regard.   I like the Kid figures - if you look at my gallery here at Rendo, you'll see that they are mostly what I render.  The only vested interest I have in the Kids is that I want them to have lots of support - more products for me to use in my renders.  I know you are a fan of the Poser 4 figures, but I find newer releases to be far better.
I tried very hard to get use out of Ben as he falls in the midrange of ages between Matt and Luke, but his shoulders are just so bad.
Frankly, I find the strong emotion that some have posted with regard the Kids 4 seems over the top.  I mean, first of all, they are free.  Second of all, I don't see anyone else trying to do something with the Kids - Poser 8 had a new man and woman, but no new kids. 

I'm  big fan of Matt having done dozens of renders with him in it, but I have found a lot about the Kids 4 to like.
