CL said it would be 5 to 7 days before they recived the boxed versions for shiping. Today is the 7th day but as sunday is not a work day they proly wont begin reciving our boxs untill tomorrow then with in two days everybodys is sposta be shiped. Toodles Sits on her hands and waits. Vel

this type of thing could be done in poser 5 as cloth. and the poly count kept down useing transparencies bump or depth maps and a few good pic of beeds or crystals and you would have your headdress and belts. not an easy thing to do but posable. Laters Vel

I have used PP pack with plugins for other apps like my world builder and still do for the most part when the sceen is a complex world sceen and not just a room or limited city block. But for thows limited location sceens, P5 has removed the need to export to Maya do cloth work save and export for rendering in world builder or others. so with P5 you have all you need to creat a limited world sceen animation and render. You Have dynamic cloth ( and it is not Buggy in the least! ) dynamic hair ( the dynamic portion at this time is worthless) But the styaling tool more than makes up for this. as to looking like wire well i get more realistinc results with this hair than i ever did with transmaped hair. and can fully and easaly style and comb the hair to fit the animation where needed, I'm sure CL will in time fix the hair sim to make it usefull. so if you bont have an ergent need for plugin saport, P5 is the way to go you get options only available in High end Modeling pacages like Maya Unlimited (6,999.00 Us ) or 3DMax with the needed plugins some where in the same price range. for 300.00 give or take dependint on upgraid or start out purchase. as to limited P5 stuff Hmmmmm. as P5 comes with all the P4 models all clothing for them fits and works. P5 Don Judy and the like yep still limeted but then there only a few months old. and they are compeating with V3 release for clothing makers time. Yes I make clothing for poser and sell here at rosaty. At this time its hard to deside what Model to make for P5 D/J Vickie 2/3 and the meriead of other models out there. So dont base your purchase on the limited clothing for D/J wich if far far more diverce than V3. and that is only with the basics that come with P5 for them. in closing the only thing to consider is plugin saport. If you need it then get PP, if you dont Get P5 or you will be kicking your self for not doing so in the not to far distant future. Sheeeeezzzzzzz I wrote this EEEEppp! Laters Vel

select the crystal ball node, then right click on it and select deleat. Laters Vel

I dont know where you have looked for clothing. But PhilC for one puts stuff out for Judy and have seen a fer others here on Rosaty for her. hmmmm

Hi All again. ok for complex sceens what i do is the folowing. Its a bit of work but nessasary. the cloth and hair rooms use a lot of computing power and memory to do there computations. so what i do is set up the sceen then if animated such as a horse and rider moveing through gates in a compatition. I would load the horse and minamul secondary props such as jumps and landscape. then set up and creat the animation for the sceen. now save your horse animation then remove him and the rest of the props. run you cloth or hair sims. reload the horse and the rest of your sceen. and render away :) all will be in proper place and motion. this should speed up the simulations for you. hope this helps laters Vel oh PS the above settings are starting points for you. tweek them to get the final result you want. dont go slamming the settings all over the place as a .0010 move up or down can make a very big diference. Laters and have Fun Vel

Hi Cloth room tips for set up. 1 set the bend resitance to 1 or below. the setting of 5.0 is somthing consistant with burlap feed bags in the way it folds. 2 set shear to 10.0 or less as the cloth is as stiff as leather at a setting of 50.0 3 set streach resistance to 100.0 or more to keep the cloth from streaching. 4 set dencaty to 100-150 for normal cotton with above setings. the setting of .050 is liter than a silk scarf. 5 colision detection settings. .0300-.0500 for the first one and .0400-.0250 for the second one. in the cloth room, the simulation Must beable to keep moving the cloth eather in drape motion (falling) or in lateral motion Model Animated movement, or the sim will stall and give you the run away fraim count. so be very carfull than there is no poke through at on when the sim starts draping. 6 the drape fraim count. this is equal to time. 30 frains = 1 second in time. So of you drop the dress how far will it drop and settle in X amount of time in real life. you set this number to get the result for the starting point you want for you animation. 7 animation fraims. again the defalt is 30 fraims per second. so you need to space your movements to match that motion in real time. remember the dress will lag behind as it is pulled along with the motion. if the motion is to harsh then the dress pulls into the model couseinf that part of the dress to freez and confuse the simulation. just as if you jumped the length of a football fieald in real life in the blink of an eye your dress would srteach and finaly tare as friction would not let it move that fast. 8 the friction settings. these in the defalts are about equal to sand paper sliding down your skin. it just wont. I use settings of between .00300 - .00500 and .00010 - .00150 respectively to get the results you have seen in my posets here. where the dress will ride up the thighs in squats bends and so on and slide down in simple walking motions. Hope this helps Vel

I have the intous and Winxp pro on one of my systems works fine. primaraly used for 2d with painter and psp. on my main system Styalist II 18x24 winxp Pro works fine. and i do hair poser 5 with this one. laters Vel

yes put in 3.00 gb then hit ok :)

poke through on conforming clothing is a constant problem. the best way to fix it is if the clothing fully covers the body part, make the underlieing body part invisable then you dont ssee the poke through. other wise you have to tweek the armor settings around to minamise the poke through then fix the rest in post work in psp or photoshop. hope this helps Vel

Hi i have found that if you set to min of 3 times your ram. so you have 1 gig set it to 3 gigs windows will take half of that for house keeping and let you use half. so you will have the equivalent of 2.5 gig mem for renders and so on. but dont go crazy as to large and it slows windows down as it keeps track of it just like ram, so 3 to 6 gigs max setting for the Vert mem. and make sure its set on the same drive as your poser if you have a multi drive set up like me. hope this helps Vel

yepers the blouse is a work in progress. but yes is done in the cloth room also. Now that im used to it i very rarly use conforming clothing any more it just looks pased on to me :) Gota love P5 and your very welcome. Laters Vel

is a comon problem in poser 4 propac. to fix it make sure your vert memory is on the same drive as poser is installed and at least 2 times the amount of your ram. V3 is the same as useing 3 of vickie 2 models in your sceen and that is with out useing any morphs. so add morph meshes and textures for each morph and you have some major memory useage. Laters Vel hope this helps
