Showing path.... Program Control, Components: Programs:Poser Executable File, Access: Access X, Internet X, Server: Trusted X, Internet X, Privacy No, and the pad lock with a key. This should take care of that nasty little problem.

Was max cracked. 3-D studio max r4, the same as CL which was cracked. An aversion for 3-D studio r3 was also cracked. What I was trying to point out with this statement that max 4, has been cracked and poser 4 has also been cracked. And I have also noticed max 5.0 has also been cracked, by the Chinese. Its just a matter of time until poser 5, will be cracked as well. As far as I know it has not been at this time. Now remember, I purchased all the programs I use. And I did by a copy of poser 5, which I found it is a big mistake. Crash, crash, crash, crash. Technical support what a joke, I received more information from here than from CL, which was very helpful. However I still have crash, crash, crash, crash, crash. And I have just switch from, Pose, to Comtent, lockup, and crash. Basically my computer is a dual Pentium III 1.00 GB, with 3 GB of memory as well and a Elsa GLoria III. You would think with these resources it would be stable. Maybe too much for it. And I do support this petition.

Are we wasting our time talking, about this problem with CL, or will we as customers be forced to accept their requirements. Is there anyone from CL, listening to this group of people or users that support their products, I do not believe so. Actually, I believe all we are doing is just venting our frustration here, and wasting our time. I also believe that this place could possibly disappear, as well with the decisions that CL makes.

Well I understand about authorization codes and dongle, I have owned 3-D studio max r1 up to r4. Now let's talk about something that had happened to me. Basically I have replaced by hardware many times, with 3-D studio max r3, once you receive a authorization code the software views, the hardware lock for protection to the software. However at one point the hardware dongle had gone bad which let me without max. Had to contact the company for a replacement. However that was lots of wasted time trying to get a replacement. CL is using the same as 3-D studio max r4 for protection to their software, what a joke. And let's talk about computer crashes, I had a major meltdown of my graphics machine, had to replace some hardware, which required me to reinstall and call up the authorization for max in order to get a new authorization code. What a pain. The treat you like you have a stolen copy. Which also required me to re-authorize all my plug-in's for max, what a major pain. Was max cracked. 3-D studio max r4, the same as CL which was cracked. An aversion for 3-D studio r3 was also cracked. I purchase all my software I use, Adobe 6 to 7, all versions of 3-D studio max from r.1 to r.4, poser 4 to 5. However I believe that CL is making a very big mistake, are they at the same level as 3-D studio max, I do not believe they are. Besides as many problems with their software they have just added one more. I wish I would've known about this authorization before I purchased poser 5, because I would not have purchased it at all. Actually I believe poser 4 is the application I will be using the most. However, I do believe they have shot themselves in the foot. I will not be buying anymore products from CL in the future. And I will be looking for a cracked to their poser 5, software to get around this registration problem. Because of all problems that I have had using max I do not need more. Contacting to get authorization for all my products that I own. fdw

Hi Anton I have no problem with you Anton. However at one time I asked a question, about female geometry, why don't they show the female private parts. They show the man's private parts. I received a very lame answer. Basically I wasted my money, and time calling, for a ridiculous answer. Realizing later that the company, is owned by LDS members. Maybe that as changed. I do not know. However I believe in equal rights, if you do one you should do for the other. I guess that is my biggest problem with DAZ3d.

Could it be religion? Or could it be money, money, money. I believe they could be both. Realizing where DAZ3d is located. Could it be DAZ3d trying to push what is religiously correct on to us as users. And maybe CL realizes, that people want realism in their characters. Maybe CL is trying to per tech themselves from DAZ3d. And there religious views. I believe you'll see someone new creating characters for CL in the future. I do not really understand what is going on, however this is my opinion. I believe this is the problem that is not been stated.

"Thank You" for your help, Philc. I have cut up the geometry to try to match Victoria, I will do what you have suggested. This photograph shows how I have chopped up the geometry. Would you suggest to place the center of the joints near the cut up geometry. The last parts needing to be cut, or the thinkers on both hands. Normally, a person would go to jail for doing this :^) And this character will be offered freely to this community for use with no restrictions, however it will depen, upon the amount of help, and support that I received here, in order to complete this project. FDW

May be I should say setting up joints for new character geometry.

Try using the line tool, then use the Bevel modifier, to Extrude shape. That's if your sign is flat. I use these settings in Max2Obj Export, IN BOX, Group and Material: Group By: Object, Use material. IN BOX, Geometry: Rotate model, Faces: Polygons, Testure coordinates, Vertex Scale: 0.001. IN BOX, File, # of Digits: 10. Applied UVW mapping, in max. Importing to poser unchecked everything before importing. This is what I got. I hope this helps.

Its poser render, an all so something with max. Best export your model using Obj, should help this problem, however not exactly sure. Exporting using 3ds, does not work well with poser.

Dave! Thank You :^)

Excuse me for interrupting, is there a good tutorial on doing what your trying to do, then what settings to use in poser? I am trying to make a hair texture or Victoria. With my geometry. Would appreciate any information. Thank you.
