Here's the spapshot of the date these poses were created for everyone's comparison. Here's a transcript of Ms Bells e-mail, giving us written authorization to post the image the second time around: ============================ Hello Mia and Jayme: Your art is quite beautiful. We have no problem with your displaying it your website gallery. Thank you for asking. Best regards, Julie Bell and Boris Vallejo ============================ after finding out that Fyrene not only butchered mine and Ms Bells work as you can see on this link: http://www.renderosity.com/viewed.ez?galleryid=418766&Start=1&Artist=Fyrene&ByArtist=Yes The problem here is that GothicAngel and Fyrene think that the have the right to do this and get away with it because they feel they have me on the ropes for using material from SteffyZZ and Stormi to produce some packages. You are wrong Fyrene and GothicAngel, or Marcabros, whatever you name is. I have nothing to loose or to hide. I already offered many times, full compensation to SteffyZZ, to Stormi, to all the customers that have purchased my packages. I defy GothicAngel (or Marcabros) to do two things now: 1 - Show the public the poses you claim I took from you to use on my renders. 2- Tell the public why you were banned from RO before under the Marcabros nic JSJ

dolfijntjes "I payed money for her and don't like it that I can't get my money back and can't use her." I am very sorry that you're not able to use Pretty anymore. As far as the money my e-mail remains public. Just let me know where to send it and you will receive full compensation! JSJ

Many days ago before the story became public as it is I contacted SteffyZZ not only to get clarification on the issue but also to offer whatever compensation. Here is the transcript of the message I wrote to her: Dear Steffy My name is Jayme Salgado and I am artist and also a merchant at RO with the nic jsj. The reason for this message is to inform you that I created a character called Devine some about 3 months ago and at that time I, under assumption from a colleagues advice created the mats using less the 20% (twenty percent) of one of your characters, Asia, as a base mat. I am not sure if my colleagues advice was correct when he told me that its ok to use it if there is 70% or more modification. However, some issues came out about this whole matter and the character has been since removed from my online store as per my own request. I wished to inform you about this as well make any rectifications on this matter, however you deem to be necessary. Also because I want you to know it off hand if this issue ever comes up in public. I await any comments on your behalf. Sincerely, JSJ and here is the transcript of her answer to me: Thank you for your e-mail, I really appreciate the fact you've written me about this issue. I don't know who is the person who've told you it is possible to sell a product that contains the 20% or less of another copyrighted commercial product, but this is clearly forbidden from the Renderosity EULA. So if you want to sell a texture map , it have to be 100% yours. If I may suggest you one thing, do not use other texture maps as the base of your, to avoid to include any elements of it and to avoid any possible future copyright problem. You can use the Daz templates, as I do. Please understand that I'm sorry, but I have to ask you to remove all the Asia elements from your Devine texture , if you want to re-realize it in the MP , and add and create your own material. Thank you. Sincerely, Stefania. I hope you folks understand that this is by no means an intent on my part to avoid culpability. My question is, why this now since I have always being more than willing to provide compensation not only to SteffyZZ, but also to the customers and Renderosity for that matter? JSJ

Thanks for the info hankim. I did a test render and everything works fine. Thanks again. Jay

I often encounter the same problem. "there are directions in the Poser 4 Top Ten FAQs at Curious Labs." Could you point me to the page on provide a link as I have browsed the whole CL website (I think) and I'm not able to find such topic. Thanks in advance. Jay

Thanks Jcleaver for trying to help. It's well appreciated. Jay

Here!

As you can see there is no preview/thumbnail!

After the update my material's pallete looks exactly the same as yours EXCEPT the texture preview/thumbnail at the bottom does not show. All I get is a black square. Id doesn't matter what kind of material I load, Judy's texture, a brick texture, or any of my custom made textures for my characters. The textures on the subsequent nodes also don't show (such as bump, reflection map or anything else). Thanks for looking in to this! Jay

I agree it's a great render. All textures look awsome. Jay

Thanks for the quick response Jcleaver. I have the eye open on the top of the main node pallete but all I get is a a black square and no image. I problem that I did not have before the update early tonight. Too bad! Jay

I meant fullscreenn not maximize. Bry4 has this function you can get to by pressing control+tab.

Thank you Kimberly for the nice words. Knowledge I believe is made to be shared, specially around the graphics community. Now let's see some of your work, heh? Graphics shy perhaps? Sincerely, Jay

iain, thanks for the insight. I'm using IBM compatible (argh!!) and LW5.6. The plugins folder in fact contains a folder caller "PrzForLW" and inside there is a "PlzForLW5x" wait a sec... whithout the.p??. Ok. Renamed the file. It works now. Thanks iain, I would never guessed. Thanks again.

Thanks for the quick response dmtyler. Back to Max3 again.
