I actually like this idea as well. When I upload an image it goes into 3 areas automatically. My Gallery, Whatever gallery I chose to upload to, and Recent posts on the main gallery page. I see this as being VERY viable.

Excellent suggestion.

Well, I guess I crashed Poser so it wouldnt even open. I copied my runtimes and reinstalled poser and reinstalled my runtimes.
I then placed the py file and the disp maps and ran poser. It worked BUT, high setting really distorted m4, looked like a corpse with muscles. and the fingers got really skinny.Tried it at .50 and worked better but fingers are still skinny and veins don't pop out as much but its better than nothing. Just need to figure out the skinny thing now...

I'll post a pic in my gallery when I get this piece finished.

hborre, I really appreciate all the help.

ok. I'll give that a shot.Thank you.
sorry. Been battling a headache all day and the computer screen hasn't been helping.

hborre

sorry to be a pain..

going along the lines of simidieus script and using the m4displacement maps from daz... 

 I have the py file in the scripts library,
poserpro/runtime/python/poserscripts/scriptsmenu

what is the path for the m4displacement maps from daz? I am still not sure where they go since you said there's no library settings....

Ok,thats different from what I have set up. Everything is in the library folder for Simidieu(except the script). Chris's is set the same way,as per the folder Heirarchy in the zip file.. let me change both.

and yes , poserpro is installed in programs folder in vista.. Nothing has been clear as to where to put the tifs..

Well, I loaded basils script and that went fine but the maps won't show up in my runtime. so I DL'd and added the ones Nemesis linked to above. I see the maps and folders in my Poser runtime but when I went to load onto M4, I got this error message:

NULL(or empty)script name passed to PEPythonEngine::DoScript

I'm running PoserPro on a PC with Vista

I went to render anyway and nothing..
anyone have a clue? maybe I need to take out Basils (Semidieus) script?

thanks for any help...

I got the script working fine but my runtime isnt seeing the tifs fromDazs m4displacementmaps..Uhg

Nemesis10,do you need the python script for those?

thanks everyone.I appreciate it. I probably WILL be back with more ???? I'll check this stuff out. See what I can come up with.

ok.. thanks.. Though I don't know what that means..heh heh..(displacement maps).

Quote - Folks, this type of art, Fantastical Art, as Frank often named it isn't "New" any more.  The world has been exposed well to this 'new' genre.   If WE are the creators of art in this genre then isn't it up to US to keep it fresh and alive?   I am still as excited by it as I was as a teen.  Maybe at 55, that's saying something. 
So, outside of your/our own circles, WHO have you shown any of this art to?    Got any prints hanging on your walls?   :)

I don't have a ton of money, but I have a print of Franks "Self Portrait" and "Barbarian" on the wall in my studio next to my drafting table. I also have Book 1, 3 and 4, published and bought back in the 70s,early 80s, that are prized possessions. As well as every Conan book with his art on it and a couple of his comic books (still in plastic). At 47 I am still a struggling artist.
Not a day goes by that I don't think of Frank and that very first time and day I saw his art, of which I bought the coffee table book right then and there and still have.
I think that now, 30 years later, I am even MORE excited when I look at his work due to all the inspiration he has given me. I owe him a lot. He changed my life back then and sent me on a totally different path. He actually GAVE me a path.
There is a huge hole in both my heart and my soul right now, even though I never had the fortune of meeting him. He is my mentor and I can't stop hurting. I can't even say how many people I've told and shown or tried to explain a Frazetta print to over the years. I always get so amped when talking about him. I didn't know Gods could die.
I honestly hope that I will, someday, at least be able to visit his museum and revere his original work in person. (Maybe the family will continue with their plans to tour his work around the country and come visit us here in Seattle. )

Goodbye Frank Frazetta.We love you. You will be missed more than you even know.

Guess it worked since I uploaded the pic and thumb. thank you. happy easter

Yes.. should I try that? does it give me other options?

Well, I'm running Vista and we all know Vista is not backwards compatible friendly. I've had to upgrade all my progs with the latest because Vista won't load older stuff.

I just removed the mtl file,(don't know what it is or what it means or how to edit it), and it loaded fine. I have NOT put the textures in before and its loaded fine, which is why I thought before that the file sizes were too big for bryce.
Now to figure out what textures make it crash.

Thank you.

Congrats to those who placed, and to the winner. Very beautiful pics of small creatures, insects, bugs, creepy crawlies.  I entered on the last day and my Dragonfly placed 4th. Thanks to those who voted. I was pleasantly surprised.

Two young artists in one weekend. Its not fair.. I pray Don is in a better place. The great gallery in the sky.
