corinthianscori posted at 11:17PM Thu, 09 January 2020 - #4376018 Seriously...I downloaded and installed the same update.After installing the same update, the software works again, as intended. I...I want to care why but I'm busy. Maybe it was this last update from December?

Keep up the good work, Renderosity. Thank you for taking over Poser.

Good Day,

Getting back to my desktop and laptop after months. Had done the update, downloaded and installed the new content(also requiring valid registration), and registered my Poser Pro 2014/11. Successfully used Poser Pro 11/2014(whatever version its on) for a month or so on both desktop and laptop.

Today, however, the laptop version of Poser Pro refuses to boot, alerting the message

I then go ahead and try to register(again, for some reason) and am met with the following warning, which, after providing correct details for registration, am sent the message that the maximum number of activations has been exceeded. I only have Poser Pro active on a laptop and a desktop, both of which have had activated copies of Poser Pro and worked fine after that September forced update. My desktop and laptop are not shared with anyone.

**How can I get Poser Pro to run again?** I am NOT purchasing another copy; I already own this software.

The 30% off sale for March vanished from all the products except the Texture Transformer. Just an FYI.
That sucks; I can't afford it now LOL
C'est la vie! Save me, store deities!

Thank for the reply and the validating! I'll be updating soon!
Love your product, Blacksmith3D!!!

Nevermind, it does show up now however, the links from the emailer and Preta's page don't show a link to the Poser upgrade or, as in the below link, the link goes to the Daz upgrade...

So...mind that, but into the cart it goes!

O..O

Did the fix work out for ya?

As soon as my computer gives me a moment of power I'm going to post updates. Lately, its been...not so grand!

Anyway, see here in the image. No more hard transition!

Quote - think I found it .... but I am not sure you want to know ... cuz I am sure I am being annoying now ...

 

Yes, I DO want to know!
I have colored over the whole thing in Zbrush so there's no immediate transition at he hip and thighs.

Ack...be back soon!

Oh, no wait! I remember now! Yes, this is the comparison shot of SimOne with SimOne 2. You guys don't have this fancy, darker skinned version of SimOne; I made it but I never released it with the set. Figured it was overkill to start doing alterations in the skin color on top of everything else.

 

So what ever happened to this death mask? I can think of great ideas for it .....

It was one of those muerte, day of the dead, type deals that I gave away with SimOne 1. Try to re-download it. It's in there.

Quote - oh ... and why are there no brows trans for blood skin effect?

The brows were covered by blood so no would see them:P I just feltcough they were not needed in that instance. You can always copy the blood effect into the Trans_Brow material and then use the transpareny map for the brows. I don't know how that would look though...

I also figured that most people just paint their brows onto their face_1 material. I know I do. I've tried the trans mapped brow thing in the past and I'm not certain if the brow geomety follows expression morphs like raising and lowering the brow.

Sorry. My laptop keeps giving me that Windows Minimum Memory Low warning. I have less than 1.5GB to work with here...(kill me now)

Blender node ususally plugs into the Alt_Diffuse. You want to make sure that light/shadow functions properly before committing to Alt_Diffuse; get this wrong and your skin will end up refusing light and shadow from any source in your scene. Should Alt_Diffuse not work out, go for Diffuse_Color and make sure the Diffuse_Value is a "1" or something. SimOne has the Diffuse_Color as a "0"(zero) by default so be careful of that one.

The only reason we have anything plugged into Diffuse_Color in this image is because we want the Preview to have some texture; this won't always happen though so be prepared to render to get the actual results.

Quote - ... still waiting to hear from the expert if I did ok on the bloody drow ... and the glowy tatts ....

The ones you did you are great - much better than anything I could do! I liked 'em!
I couldn't tell if the tatoos glowed but I'm sure they do - and they do look cool!

Quote - trying to get blood effect but not her skin under it glossy .... but I think I got it .... 

The skin being shinney as well as the blood could easily be the result of the reflection area not having enough of the mask applied. Could also be the refraction value if that was used... Once that mask is plugged into the correct spots, this issue should vanish.  

Oh. and M4 is done as well as the update to SimOne. Will be uploading the updates by next week once I get my laptop to have more RAM.

Quote - ok ... I think I got it now .... just gotta get the right settings to have her dark skin show up the right color ....

 

now ... your mud vid .... your cat sounds nice and happy purring .... LOL  .... but there is now way I can re-create your mass of nodes .... is there any way to alter the settings on the blood to make it look more like dirt?

 

 

oh and the sound in your vid is way down btw .....

You have to, like, paint dirt onto your textures in an image eding program like Photoshop while being careful of seams. You can still use a mask to split specularity between skin and dirt. Remember that dirt is matte and won't be reflecting things.

Quote - def gonna try this later .... awesome .....

 

just playing with tweeking/editing nodes to turn the blood into mud .... while reading your posts ...

Turning the mud into dust is also simple. Really, all you have to do is greatly lower the specular value for the mud to get dust. This, and make a map or procedural material for the dust.

Again, its all about using the mask. Just set up the specularity for the skin and then for the dust before mixing them together with that Blender node and mask. Same thing goes for the bump/displacement and the diffuse.
