Thank you all. :) what a nice gift to wake up to! Phoenix

Yeah, I tried that the first day. I found it pretty annoying that there weren't child morphs in the section where the Judy and Don mophs live. I think they also use the same head mesh, so it ought to work, but doesn't. Just a tick in the hate column of my well-populated "Things I love and hate about Poser 5" list. Phoenix

Interesting suggestion. I'll play with that. :) Thanks. Judy IS an alien. P5 is the devil I love. Phoenix

Doc, Not sure what led you to this particular number. (Not saying that it isn't swell...) But I think you were dead-on when you suggested CL made a tiny typo in the program. I don't think they meant for Posrland to be a world of giants. Have you informed them of the obviously incorrect scale? They could fix this in a patch and then we could all actually use the numbers built in to Poser, which would be a lot easier. Thanks for doing all these calculations. Phoenix

Thank you, Kiera. :) Well done. Phoenix

Glad someone likes the idea, Puntomaus. :) It would simplify so many things. Like I said, I'm going to try to write it, but at my level of coding skill it will probably not be ready until Poser 7. I've done some programming, but never for Windows. So I'm really hoping one of these programmers will pick up on it and make it so. Phoenix

John, I bought OO after Howard announced this free utility. It's not the same app. OO allows the user more flexibility. This is just a quick all-in-one-shot utility. It guestimates and sometimes does it wrong. OO lets the user interact far more. Go for the program I was describing above. It's very much like OO, but being database driven, it would be able to accomplish a lot more. I have a very solid vision of the app, but I doubt I have the programming skills to pull it off. If you want to snag the concept, I'm just waiting to pay someone for this thing. Phoenix

I would leave it as is. Since it reports exactly what it has changed and what the replacement file was, I can easily scan through afterwards and see if I want to manually fix any of the changes. I'm just super happy with it. Like I've mentioned, I never ever install textures in their default locations, so this is going to save me work every time I install something. Now what I REALLY want is a database driven app for the organization of Poser files. If you've ever used DreamWeaver... like the file management system in that. The first time you run it, it has to scan through all your OBJs, Textures, CR2s and so on. It gives a unique ID to every object and databases them along with their location. It indexes the CR2s as well, databasing the geometry and texture references in each, cross-referenced with the index numbers of those external objects. Once it does that the first time, it can straight off give you a list of unreferenced OBJs (safe to delete) and you use it like Windows Explorer. If you move a texture, the CR2 that references it will automatically be updated. If a texture is missing, it can give you a list of possible matches. It stores the "last indexed" date for each file and when you run it again it only needs to index files that are new or modified since the last indexing. It can do uninstalls since it knows what file is linked to what. It can be used to move files into external Runtimes to be stored on CDs for Poser 5. It can make biscuits and sing. :) I will pay handsomely for that app. :) I am actually going to try to code it myself, ut I don't think I'm going to be able to manage it, so I offer up the suggestion to any taker. Phoenix :D Phoenix

Object menu, Create Wind Force... right under Create Magnet and so on. You're not dumb, just a little blind. ;) Phoenix

You're wrong, Howard. :) It does change .bum to .jpg if the BUM is not present and the JPEG of the same name is. I was shocked and amazed. Of course in one instance it couldn't find horn.jpg, so replaced it with thorn.jpg, which was incorrect. But it's wonderful. :) Phoenix

Still reading, BTW. Very well done. Thanks! Phoenix

Paul, If the Draping function works the same in a Wind simulation as it does in a normal cloth simulation, there's an error in your tutorial. The Draping frames occur before Frame 1 of your animation, not on-going through your animation. If you calculate 30 draping frames and 30 animation frames, all of the draping takes place first. This "softens" the cloth so it's not stiff as a board in frame 1. Still artists may not even need to calculate an animation to get nice cloth in their image because the draping alone may be enough. In the case of your Wind example, I think (not sure at all) that you're giving 30 draping frames for gravity to take it's effect before the Wind force even begins in frame 1. I know the above is correct for a non-Wind cloth sim, so I'm just guessing it's the same with wind on. Phoenix

Can't offer you any help on what might be causing those black spots. But other than those, it's really beautiful. Ah, so nice to finally be able to do flowing clothing! Phoenix

Good lord, the breasts in those pictures look like my sister, the 36 year old mother of 3. The faces do not look too young. The come in all sizes. Other than that, well, no comment. :) Phoenix
