Thanks for sharing,

I purchased the Poser 12 bundle from Humble Bundle today and it gives you a 100% discount code to purchase the software key from Graphixly. That is used to download the actual software and content pack from posersoftware.com

Paypal was used for the purchase and am going to keep local backup copies of the install software for Mac and PC so I don't lose access to them in the future.

Overall I would also consider the experience legit.

-Thanks Again Everyone

Has any member purchased software from Humble Bundle and willing to share their experience with us here?

There is a new development from Apple and I hope this will help the Poser development team and bring Poser 13 to the MacOS community.

Poser, Blender, and Cycles don't use HLSL shaders. HLSL shaders are DirectX shaders, and not all games use those shaders. Poser is not a game engine either.

Apple supports Metal and is adding support for Microsoft library conversions, but we are probably not going to get GLSL, OSL, or SPIR-V support from Apple....

When Apple decides to enforces ARM native code only, the converted game wont run anymore because it still relies on an emulator based on CrossOver......

What Apple did, is make a tool to help show where the core of a game will need rebuilt, to run in an emulator on a Mac.

The core, is the majority of the programming in a game.... Content creators do the rest of it.

It is just a tool to show what a good programmer that makes programs for both platforms, already knew.

These posts are about turning Genesis 1 into a native Poser figure.

As long as we're skipping down memory lane, I remember when DAZ actually gave away a few of their figures, like Aiko, in a magazine, like Computer 3D. I don't know if Computer 3D even exists anymore, but the idea is still sound. You don't want to give Poser away for free, fine, make the figures free instead. But you have to promote the heck out of it.

Is there a previous forum post somewhere for this user with instructions on how to export Genesis from Daz Studio as a CR2 file for native use in Poser?

I have experienced the same thing many times over the past two years on Mac OS, usually when working on a large file for a long time. Saving the file and quit/reopen Poser sorts it out. What I have been experiencing effects the whole parameters palette were a user can not select different parts of a figure or actor. I have had a similar experience with the memory dots and work spaces. They become unresponsive and a user needs to quit and reopen Poser. The issue has been present on 11.3 and 11.2 for Mac. 

Thanks again for following this thread regarding POSER 11, a fully functional means to import products that are only made for DS, and covert them for use in POSER without the need for purchased python 3 scripts.

This Black Friday holiday reminds me of my purchase last year of @Ohki's wonderful bodysuits for LaFemme and L'Homme.

I was a little disappointed when I saw them given away for free a few weeks later for another promotion, but then another thought occurred to me, that I purchased this item for a specific reason. The usage rights as a merchant resource.

I imagined everyone else who may have downloaded this limited time freebie and hoped that it might spawn a new user into this poser ecosystem. And then I was grateful.

Thanks!

Please, let's get back on topic.

This thread is about the benefits of making POSER 11, software that Smith Micro and others developed, and Bondware bought, rebranded and optimized for connection to renderosity.com, the be FREE with ACTIVE email (phone home registration).

There MUST be a benefit to Bondware for this proposal to succeed. Connection to their content publishing house makes complete sense and benefits the user with easy installation. Not everyone knows what a runtime is, especially a new user.

How about free with active email registration? $52 for the content. 

How about free with purchase of L' Homme and / or La Femme Pro?

Remember, no one went out and bought their own crayons when they first learned to draw.

In my case it was Smith Micro Manga Studio that brought me to this forum and my first encounter with any of this 3d rendering and marketplace. Otherwise, I would have had 0% interest to begin with. Content keeps me a Daz Customer, blender makes it unwise not to be a customer. The tool sets and mac compatibility are what keep me a bondware customer.

Thanks everyone!

I LOVE POSER 11! Especially with the capacity to use the Reality to Luxrender plugin and Superfly.

Since the phone home feature was added to the software, moving forward I figured it would be a good way for Bondware to attract more active and online customers into their marketing databases so that they can encourage content purchases (including Poser 12 and 13) at the renderosity.com store. 

It doesn't hurt to ask questions politely. As a new user when I made the purchase near launch, it took me awhile to discern the real world differences between competing software. More than the 21 days allotted for a free trial.  The most unsung and nuanced feature of the program is the ability to undo and redo camera movements. It's so annoying when it happens accidentally. I miss it so much when I use DAZ and blender.

I would like to see an effort to persuade the greater public to become users of the software (like the competing software). Also, Smith Micro was nowhere with content marketplace (paradise?) share when I got on board with rendering. Renderosity and Bondware are in a different position with the leverage of content. 

I'm on a iMac and look forward to trying out the final version of 12. Until then, I will continue to convert content into the Superfly and PBR material formats.  Thanks!

PhilC's OBJ Import Plus works  great! I'm not sure how I had not heard of it before. Nevertheless, I downloaded it today and it is compatible with  Poser 11.3,  Mac OS 10.14.

Thank you for the recommendation.

Genesis 3 undergarments and hair might look something like this auto-fitted to a La Femme body morph/clone shape for G8F in DS and ready for export into Poser. These items and textures come with Genesis 3, at one time for free, provided from Daz3d.
I imagine thay would look pretty good and need very little adjustment to the La Femme shape.

Genesis 3 outfits would probably transfer over to the Genesis 8 - La Femme clone shape easily due to their shared "A pose".

Exporting OBJ shapes of the La Femme fitted clothes, hair and accessories from DS would be pretty easy. There is a Poser preset!

If the users DAZ library is linked to their Poser library, it's even better because the textures for the OBJs will be easier to locate on import.

Here is what the imported OBJs might look like rendered in Superfly with some tweaking of the transparency maps in the material room.
