no, i don't think we've ever met. i've known Forrest and Jamie for almost 10 years, but we haven't hung out as much in recent years as i would have liked. i think we're all kinda lazy when it comes to keeping in touch. anyways, Forrest got me a job with them a couple weeks ago, and one morning we were talking about 3D graphics and applications. i mentioned Renderosity, and he said he knew you. as for getting Forrest to sell his 3D Studio stuff at the marketplace - keep trying! i'll work on him too. :P sorry if i freaked you out (Forrest mentioned something about it today at work...)! - James

Clint, Yeah, the address matches - it's the same one I have always used. when this happened last time, it was also over the weekend - it may be a problem with my bank. i don't want to try it again, as i will have too many pending charges on my account if it doesn't go through, and the Bondware office is closed until monday... on an unrelated note - you're friends with Forrest Hasbrook, right? Thanks for your help! - James

You're welcome! Keep up the good work! I'm glad too, now I can make that femme fatale pic I had an idea for. :P Thanks! - James

Jenifer, Again, thank you for your help. I did try it out again (only once this time... :D ), and it worked just fine. I'm certain it was just a glitch in the system - probably the fault of my bank. In no way was I intending any offense or insult towards Renderosity. You all have done a great job, and I must say I am overly impressed with how quickly and accurately you and Clint helped me solve my problem. Now, I must return to my shopping! Thank you again. Sincerely, James McCorkle

Jenifer, Thank you. I was able to get the majority of the holds removed from my account via a customer service rep with my bank (it was a rather embarassing ordeal, suffice it to say). However, the question I have now is, will I be able to make my purchase? I assume that there was something wrong with the Marketplace software, as it was unable to verify the address on my card. I have not changed the address on my card or on my account here since my last purchase. I guess I'll try it again and we can go from there. Thank you for your help! Thanks again, - James

Clint, yes, I did get an error message. It was something about validating the address on my card. I've made quite a number of purchases here without any error in the past. Here's the exact error message: Order Processing Failure! AVS Failed: avsaddr=X, avszip=X. We were unable to verify your card address or Zip/Postal Code. Please contact Bondware Inc. at payments@renderosity.com or call us toll free at 1-866-220-2949. Thanks, James

Yeah, I tried when i first got Vue, and it worked fine. However, i tried yesterday and the texture didn't work. It looks really garbled on the body and the head is missing - aside from the eyes and teeth (which does look rather interesting, but it's not a mad scientist pic...). I'll try that! I have not yet checked for updates. Thanks! - James
