Just adding my vote on the "I prefer links not poping up in a new window" side. That's my preference on all web sites I visit, and here it's making it very hard to: 1) Just move through the gallery by clicking a Next link. 2) Toggle back and forth between several images that I have found and like. I used to do this easily by opening them in new tabs as I'd go along. It's very easy to click between 20 different tabs, try doing it with 20 different windows! Because of all these changes, I'm just spending much less time on RenderO, no kidding...

Thanks for the feedback everyone, this gives me a much better sense of what customers would prefer. Sometimes it's hard to see how other people see what I'm doing. Uh, I think. ;)

Thanks! That's the info I was looking for. I've written up my readme.txt and I think we've got all the bases covered from tests on our own machines. But then again... you never know what will happen on someone elses desk top!

Hi, If you want to modify poser characters you already have you can do that in poser, but I don't know about making entierly new characters that way... I did make characters with other 3d apps, Strata3D and Cinema4D, not exactly easy work! I have some renders up in my gallery and on my web site you might want to look at. I know there is usable 3d software that is free, but you'd have to look around depending if you are using a pc or mac. Hope that helps! :)

Thanks, that was the trick! Now I've got the pesky little .rsr file. :)

Thanks Little Dragon, Didn't know they had switched formats above Poser 4. I've just tried Maconverter, and it just tells me there is nothing to convert! Odd, no seperate thumbnail file appears on my Mac... yet I can still see the thumbnail with Graphic Converter, and within Poser itself in the Props index...

Thanks for the feedback, we didn't know DAZ didn't even accept .pz3. Jacqueline and I are going to have to change one of our projects around then. But that's better than getting complaints! BTW, your link doesn't seem to work...

Patricia, Cinema4D will import lwo files very well, and has good export formats, but it's rather expensive... We started with Strata3D years ago, and it has very few export formats so we've begun using Amapi version 4 lately as a file converter since it opens Strata3D files saved in the Amapi format. Then Amapi exports to many other formats from there. You might be in luck with Amapi, as we got a free, fully functional promotional version. You might be able to find someone else with the free CD, or find a link on the net. Hope that helps...

Thanks for all the helpfull feedback, we've got some positive results. I've just tried putting a 3ds file through Maconverter, and much to my surprise now Poser on my mac sees it! So with maconverter I can now see obj and 3ds files in the import menu dialog. I've managed to import a large model with 16000 polygons via obj, but when I tried with 3ds it would see it in the dialog but the application quit when I hit open! I've assigned 130mb to poser, maybe I should give it more? A second test I did with 3ds worked better, I only imported part of the large model and that bit came in fine. Is 3ds more memory hungry when opening files than obj? Odd, the 3ds files are smaller on the hard disk so I thought they would be best for uploading to the marketplace...

MarianneR, Thanks, that's exactly what we needed for the obj format. We've also noticed we can apply new textures in Poser where the textures had been in Cinema4D. :) ldynghtwng, That 3DS converter sounds like what we are looking for, would anyone know the exact name? Maybe we could find it on the net ourselves if it's still around...
