oops.  I didn't mean to say judges, I meant to say "challenge managers".
This sounds like fun.

Another thought would be that a true "portrait" is of people not animals.
Do you think the judges are reading these comments?

Photos should be current.

Hey Cage!
I love your obsession with Bat Girl/Barbara Gorden.  She needs to be upgraded to V4.  Will that be coming soon?  I'm so new, I don't know how to do that on my own.  

If I bought that new program that PhilC wrote and Poser is advertising, would that convert them to a bigger size?

yes, I have a project with exact duplicates -- similar to your mobile.
Thanks for the thoughts because it lets me know what can and cannot happen.
bev

hmmmmmmmmmmmm.  I will try smart one.
thanks

PS
Do you think I should open a new thread -- so other newbies and get the answer to this question?

No.  I'm downloading the .exe files but of course I'm a newbie and I'm afraid I'm screwing this up down the road and don't realize it.

When I buy something I choose the .exe file and download.
first question;   Do you want to open or save?

When you open, it goes to a temp file in the unkown places -- and I was trying to keep them in order of what they were.  So I saved it to the file: Download>Clothing or >animals or > buildings.

Then the second question after you save it is: Do you want to open?
I say yes and it opens to the directory and shows that file.
Then up in left corner it says: Extract files.  I click that.
Then I have the zip and the new supposedly open file.  sometimes its in Poser and sometimes it's not.

I beginning to think this doubles my files and makes a mess.

So my question is------ how do you download?
Thanks
Bev

Thanks.  I went back and redownloaded.  Now I see it in Daz but not Poser so it must be just a Daz file?

A.) What is the correct way to download a file from Poser or Daz?  I'm a PC.
I think I'm causing problems in the future.
1.) I save to my download file and put it in a category like clothing or sub category V4 Clothing.
2.) then it shows it in the file and I go to the left corner where it says "extract files".
3.) Now I have 2 files.  A regular one and a zip.
4.) The problem with this is that I just discovered that some of the files weren't in Poser.  So I went into Poser and Content and downloaded Zips.  Nowwwwwwwww I'm sure I have files everywhere.

B.) Where would I go to find a definition of all the file meanings?  INJ, MAT, PP, etc.

Thank you so much for all your help.
Bev

Sorry.  The title of this thread is Poser Question.
So naturally I thought I could ask general questions. 

I bought a bunch of stuff from Daz and I can see it in the file but it won't work.  I can't see it in the Poser install file because it's not a zip.
What is a ps_ac XXXX wizardrobes   file?  What does the ps_ac mean?  And does it only work in Daz and not Poser?
thanks
Bev

Holy Cow.  
Boooooo Hooooooooo   the sound of tears.
I will try this -- after I figure out what you said.
Thanks
Bev

Kuroyume,
I was reading your suggestions and I hate to be a pest but. . . .  

1. Do you mean the floor grid or the Ground Plane prop?  For the latter, just turn it off in the menus: Display->Guides->Ground Plane (Ctrl+G).  For the former, you cannot change that at all - it represents Y = 0 and there is no changing it.  The solution: change where your figure and world are in relationship to the floor.

I'm thinking it's the floor grid.  But how do I change the figure and world in relation to the floor?  If I have 20 objects, Santa, sleigh, deer etc -- do I move each one individually or is there a way to move them all at once????

Thank you.
Bev

Oh, and the floor I'm talking about is the blackline grid.

Yes, I can't wait for this stuff to "snap" in my brain and all make sense -- I have tons of ideas but it's taking me too long to do stuff.

Maybe I'll have my Santa done by 4th of July.
Bev

Hmmmmmmmmmmmmm.  Thanks.  I forgot once but I will check it out and then write it in my notes for future reference.  I have a project that I need to duplicate a bunch of stuff.
Thanks.
Bev
