Thank you all for your answers.

Unfortunately learning the whole rigging process from zero is beyond my abilities. If exporting the bones is not possible, I'll abandon my idea. Thanks anyway!

Thanks Sam!

(BTW your beautiful boy is really grown up! I remember the first pics of him you had posted here...)

Because why would a non-religious person ever follow the Golden Rule if they're just going to die anyway and there's nothing after that because they don't exist anymore?  

Two answers.

First, I follow the "Golden Rule"  (nice term, btw) because I don't know what there is after life!!! Maybe there is REALLY a judgement by some god, so it's best if I am a nice boy now, right?

But there is another answer. I try to be the best person I can be, and doing all the good I can, because the world will not end with me, and I will leave it to my daughters, my friends and whoever will remain after my death. It's enough for me.

 I simply don't know if there is a god or not.

When my time will come, I will discover it. Maybe there is nothing and my consciousness will end.

But maybe no. Maybe there is really something after death and some god who will greet me.

So how should I behave now? Every religion says something different: for religion A, the behaviour X is a great virtue. For religion B, is a terrible sin.

Again, I don't know. I try to live my life as I feel right: doing no harm, believing in peace, and raising my daughters as best as I can.

If and when a god will ask me "have you committed sins?" I'll show him my life like a passport and will tell him "You decide".

 Update: the percutaneous coronary intervention has been performed successfully. The stent has been placed in her coronaric artery and my mother is very weak but more or less ok.

Now let's hope for a troubleless course. She should return home in a few days.

 It's too easy to click on "Rate this!" and give bad grades to a product.

But if you create a review system which only accepts textual, fairly detailed descriptions, this is much better.

"Vandal reviewers" are too lazy to waste their time writing something meaningful.

No stars, no votes, no comboboxes with numbers: just force your reviewers to write more than twenty words, and you will have a good quote of useful reviews.

Giorgio

 No ideas? It's really annoying and I don't know how to solve this issue...  Thanks!

You are talking about Poser Pro, not Poser Pro 2010, right?

Yes, I am talking about Poser Pro, the one right after Poser 7.

Quote - I've been trying to post you a link to woody but don't seem to able to - just search for 'woody' in the maketplace here and you'll find him, though .  Hope this helps.

Found, thank you very much. Seems definitely cute! I'll show it to my friend and if she'll like it I'll proceed with the picture.

 It's arrived to Italy too. Obviously we are the last ones to have it in our theaters... (and it's not our worse problem, actually... it's Silvio, but that's another story).

What can I say? I loved Avatar. I loved it very much.

The story is not original? So what? It's just a little part of the experience. And it's a GREAT experience.

I want to add just a little thing. At the end of the movie, in the whole theater there have been an ovation. A long applause. Don't know in other countries, but here usually no one applauds in movie theaters (only in stage theaters, with live actors). I did not hear applauses for a movie from the times of E.T. the Extraterrestrial. This means something.

DarkEdge, best compliments! Do you plan to release the Samson or it's just a private model? I would be very interested in it!

Even if they do not sell their stuff at VP anymore, I hope they'll keep updated the site and the store pages with the new products.

Their search engine is much better than Rendo, and items are classified by category (vehicle/land/bikes, for example). Finding something this way is much easier than here.

(I still wonder how a modern site like Renderosity can survive with a search engine so primitive, "but that's another story, and shall be told another time" - M. Ende, The Neverending Story).

 In Liguria (the Italian region where Genoa and Savona are located and where I live)  there are many small towns with the same painted houses. The reason? Exactly the same told by kawecki.

Have a look here: http://www.flickr.com/photos/fotogiannella/sets/72157606463377650/ or search for "houses Liguria" with Google.

 If you need some specific background image of Italian style, and you are not able to find it on the net, let me know and I will be happy to go outside with my digital camera and catch something for you.

 In my opinion V4 is not a bad figure. I mean, I know real women who are much uglier than her. Beauty is subjective, so we can discuss forever about the shape of her breasts and so on.

But no human being will ever have feet so bad. I mean, there is a note on those toes: "Cut here with an axe, please". Just bend them a little and that almost mechanical joint spoils every attempt of realism.

pjz99's morph helps a lot, but we really would need a "shape_those_things_like_real_feet" morph. Maybe set to 999 just to be sure.

(Yes, I am working on an image where the main character wears only a bikini and is barefoot. I am thinking to put on her some heavy boots and to draw a sign: new fashion trend for next summer. After all, I am from Italy, I should be expert of fashion).
