from the dancing woman avi with her clothes i think the answer to collision detect in poser 5 is a definite yes; it definitely looks like they employed it in P5. Unless they took the dancing woman and imported her to Lightwave 7 (which i know has collision detect because i use it) and then send her back to poser but i dont think so because then why advertise the avi as a P5 unveiling if it isnt totally P5 created. i think P5 does have collision detect

woowww wowie; i am so glad i found another person that agreed; i complained for hours to my bro in law about shamms mortier i call him "the Sham" or "the Scam". i'm glad other people agree all his books are rips; they suck terribly. they are just a big waste of money. i'm sorry to admit i bought 4 books at the same time from amazon and opened up the CD in the back and because of that i cant sell the damn things for a buck. i'm stuck with firewood

hello, i am a model looking for work. My friends call me Horse you can call me Richard.

not as proficient with poser so all i do is go to the graph block and delete all keypoints between the start and end movements; this gives me a steady transistion. i usually geet fingers flying all over the place when i run through the walk designer; i delete everything in between with the fingers and that takes care of it

i would set to 29.971 just to bust some balls

move only the head, find out what angle you had to move it to get the goal location, divide that angle by how many segments you have, then move each segment that amount to distribute the meshes evenly. Also take account of Valandar's comment it is very true that most animators don't take into account the although you're trying to have the chin reach the collar that the collar subconciously moves toward the chin likewise

i read the first 120 then got tired of all the rave, Poser has always been awesome to me, all of it has always been 100% in my book, but just to be devil's advocate for a sec, does P5 have collision detect or not. I'm an animator and P4 is a total no go unless you're an artist using it for modeling purposes only. Please let there be collision detect; my hopes skyrocketed when i saw the blouse and dress. But then again it could have been imported into Lightwave and rendered there with collision detect. That's why i'm asking, was there a second program used to make that animation or does P5 have collision detect?

personally, i'm sure it took an honest days work to do; looks good but i think everyone has to admit there is a little Marlon Brando(Godfather) look in her eyes; any chance she might be related? Granddaughter maybe? I say this in jest though, it is a very good rendition of a little girl crying. good work

i spent about 4 hours last night on it. there were a lot of terminology that were just over my head and didn't make sense (vertices, horizontal drop, etc...) i went as far as advanced calculus 3 in College and learned this stuff but it seems to be used in a different way. not much chance i'm going to understand this any time soon so if you're up to it i'll take your offer for help. by the way i made the ceilings 2 way and every other wall which means you get full clearance of each cell so that a camera view can visually have elbow room aiming at the bunk bed of each cell. i'm running late for work this morning so i'll talk to you when i come back. before i send it to you i'd like to know a few things like do you think the file has too many polygons or should i break this up or that up or maybe add this. i think it's a pretty intense environment as it stands but there might be a little room for improvement. tonight i'll send you the object prop and tiffs. if i can call you on MSN Instant talk or at your phone let me know thanx

just got home; phenominal, can't wait to see it; Lyrra you're definetly the kind of person we need more of in this poser forum world. there are some real tough questions out there that need answering. and i've stuck my hand in the cookie jar a few times. but it's sad that we have to have a poser forum and that Curious Labs doesnt provide enough detailed info so that this isn;t needed. Or maybe they provide the iinfo but then they don't give it in a user friendly way, the kind of way that makes it stick to your mind. for example i HHHAAATTTEEE the handbooks by a fellow i wont mention his name so as not to defame his attempts, but he has an Irish name and he makes handbooks for just about every program(lightwave 3DS Poser Sasquatch etc...) and it's just useless and terribly written. we need knowledgable people ( i think i spelt that wrong) instead of stabs in the dark. Again thanx so much and now let me try the UVmapper.com. i'll let you know how it turns out. i hope i catch that tutorial your making i'd really like to see it when it's done. see ya

perfect answer Lyrra, thank you so much. and i hope i didn't sound rude before with the smack quip, i have a dumb sense of humor but i was only kidding. that sounds like it might be the right answer because i didn't do anything involving UV mapping. when i get home from work i'll check the site and the manual. i very much appreciate it. it is a very complex thoroughly detailed jailcell. if i decide to sell it i will send you a free copy. it's actually 16 cells divided by a hallway(8 and 8). each cell is inverted with pivoted jailcell doors. including a bunk bed, sink, toilet, tissue paper dispenser and barred window. all yours if it turns out the UVmapping was the problem. Hey, i'll even throw in the unexplained sticky residue on the floors. thanx a lot Lyrra

Firstly, sorry i didn't write this but yes i made the jailcell in lightwave. Secondly, don't know squat about UV mapping. Thirdly, ofcourse i rendered, (smack)lol. i told you i have changed textures on figures succesfully. The only difference with this project is that I made the object. Fourth and final, in render options the only selections are default and preview and i applied texture universally to each. I tried with the texture strength to 90% and i tried at 10%--no difference. Object color set to white and the other 3 set to black. Nothing appears. Pleeeease help. thanx for the answers please keep 'em coming. need help. if you need a copy of the jail cell to see what i mean i'll send you a copy just let me know. thanx

Curious Labs offers a free upgrade to the latest version for anyone who owns a copy of Poser. Call them up.

good news and bad news you asked if anyone has the same problem; the good news is you're not alone; i've had that problem and i thank you for letting me know because i have a price list for the athlon and memory chips as well as the windows xp installation procedure; you see i was about to make the same change to a bigger system. i thought that would help but apparently, by what your telling me, it won't help, so good news for me is i don't have to spend the cashmola on the new system. bad news is i have no idea what to do to deal with this problem. memory hang-ups have made my blood pressure go up about 20 points; i think i was about a 160/95 now i'm about 180/100 if not more. i started taking blood pressure pills for it though so if it means anything to you--you could try taking some bloodpressure meds and deal with it, if not and you find out please let me know. you could be saving a life here if not, atleast a potential heartattack victim. got to go now, getting some gauze for my fist, glass on my monitor broke and cut the skin on my fist open. see ya, --p'd off poser user
