@ Xantor & Foleypro Yeah, looks like it was just a bad uninstall of Poser. I had to kill the folder manually there but all the textures and geometries n stuff were in it. :(

Oh well :( From the experience I got from using it tho I'm pretty tempted to shell out the 23 beans or so on Victoria 3 now. Meshes of people in action really do seem to bring certain scenes to life. I'd quite like to explore that some more.

What's in a CR2 file exactly? I'm new to this as you may have guessed :) I'm sharing a computer here that I know for a fact used to have a ripped version of poser on it. Since I moved in we've only used legitimate products though. (Truespace, Milkshape, Genesis ect. To be honest the range of free and GNU tools available to artists is overwhelming enough!) When I installed the Victoria cr2, the model appeared in my D|S content folder as a fully useable, textured character. Is that not supposed to happen? Don't get me wrong. I'm not a copyright-law fiend or anything but I do want to be able to distribute my renders publicly in the knowlage that I'm not stealing from someone elses work.

The freestuff area. It surprised me too. Follow the archive link and it coughs up an entire pages' worth of content. Mostly add-on faffery but the redistributable characters are in there.

As a student I have to admit I'm mostly impressed with the pricetag :p It is a great app though. I've been playing with it for a couple of days now and the only major wonk I've found is a slight glitching on the GUI. It dosn't like using openGL with my nVidia card either. Also it dosn't seem to export models yet. As a bonus, DAZ have released free versions of Vicktoria2 Michael2 and Millenium girls! :D I never thought I'd be able to afford to move into character sculpting for my scenes but thanks to DAZ I can :D I must say I'm very happy with D|S. Chuffed to bits in fact.
