Great, now all the other starving artists will be even more starving and sleepless. Now they'll have to pay out the nose or spend trillions of hours making every single thing they need. If you can make money from your model so easily now why on earth would anyone want to put it up for free? Pretty nifty trick that Renderosity gets FIFTY percent of the take. Whether you want to admit it or not this will have a seriously detrimental effect on the freestuff area. Many people who were happily putting up goods for free will now be sorely tempted to take a fifty percent cut for their work. It is the end of the era. -We have seen the end of Kobain, we shall soon see the end of the Rebellion.

This is a fantastic model with great textures! Where can we get our hands on it? Nice image.

As far as likeness goes, I think some of us need to step away from the poser paradigm and take a look at the two pictures from a purely asthetic point of view. We posermaniacs tend to easily forgive the limitations of poser, whereas those coming from the outside are much more likely to be critical. My girlfriend has a hard time being impressed by all but the very best poser work. From a non-poser point of view the two images have very little in common. The face bears almost no resemblance in its shape to the real person, the poser model has very different lines and curves. The hairline is very strait as opposed to the round one that the real woman has (as do most of us). And very importantly in a black and white picture the skin tone of the poser model is much too dark. I don't mean for these comments to be discouraging, but if we really want to have poser art taken seriously outside of our tight-knit community here we really have to push our standards the next level. Keep up with the good effort!

Definitely post it!

Thanks Martin! You are THE MAN! I can't begin to tell you how much I and other mac posers are in your debt. Thanks so much for bringing MacConverter to us all. Thanks for the advice on FileTyper too. I'll check it out.

Well I seem to have fixed the problems with OBJ by using MacConverter 1.1, but the 3DS files just aren't registering as importable. Are any other mac users out there able to import these 3DS files from various non-mac poser sites?

All of them are great, but I really like the Misfits shirt the best. I've got a punk character I'm working on that really needs it. Good work!

I love the tutorial!

It looks great! The one thing I'd fix is the crease behind the knee. You could fix this in photoshop without too much trouble to make is look more anatomically correct. pose on!

She definitely looks more Chinese. Most gwai-lo, gaigin, honkey-types can't tell the difference though. Tlaubach, if you live in a metropolitain area take a look in your phone book for some names. It boggles my mind sometimes how much trouble people have with telling the asian races apart. Japanese look as different from Chinese as the Italian do from the Irish (hair color aside). Then again most Asians can't tell a the Norwegians from the French by appearance alone.

I just downloaded the new mac converter and WOW! I didn't think it would be that different from the other one. Boy was I wrong. I a whole new world of possibilites is open now. Thanks everyone!

Yeah! Yeah! Yeah! Now do ride the lightning, and justice for all and metal up your a**! With some transparency maps I can make a bunch of ripped shirts and then I'll have myself an army of stoner posers!

I can't do anything with a pcf on a mac. Without objaction mover you can't combine things to make an obj. Once I have an obj I can use the converter tool and make it work on a mac. There are a number of things out there that mac users can't play with for this reason: Jacketman etc. If some nice PC user were to make obj files available on the funstuff pages mac users would be able to use everything that PC users have access to. This is one thing I've never understood about the funstuff page uploads. Why make people convert things rather than just post the converted files?

The image looks great! As I recall in the legend of Sleepy Hollow the headless horseman had a pumpkin for his head because he couldn't find his original one. It would look very cool if you could put a flaming Jack-o-lantern on his shoulders.

Dagnabbit! That is one heckova frog, I love it!
