Thanks for the feedback. I will eventually redo my tutorials so they are all HTML-based. Unfortunately, I may have somehow misplaced the original format of the tutorials. That would mean redoing all of them... that is not something I want to do all at once, right away. So you do like the "new look?!" That's good because I've already started working on my "ronknights.com" site, and it has the same theme. I am new to working with frames, and still need to fix the "untitled document" problem.

I just bought this CD today. Boy will I hate waiting for the CD to arrive in "snail mail." I have watched Schlabber's work for a year or so, and know this will be well worth the investment.

Oh, what's the matter John? Are you jealous of my magnificent fatness? Or Legume's handy artwork?! Legume, that is certainly a great picture! Believe it or not, about 20 years ago, I actually worked out, and had a "hardbody." The girls used to whistle at me, and I looked all around to see who they were whistling at. I can honestly say "I'm twice the man I used to be." At that time I weighed 155 lbos (6 ft tall). Now I weigh about 300. Whoopie. **** Oh John, at 51, I don't really care if I'm "cool." My homemade computer is totally unique, and it works. I guess that is good enough for me. I might buy a new computer. If I do, I might be cool because I can say "Dude, I'm gettin' a Dell."

If you weren't revolted enough by that image already, here is a picture of my wedding reception. I tried to dance with my lovely wife, but in the end, I gave up, went outside to have a cigarette and sat down to catch my breath. My wife swore that those lovely disposable 35mm cameras would be good enough to capture our wedding memories. Maybe she wasn't counting on the poor lighting in the church and the local Grange Hall. 

I was a bit chubby for a few years. However, I can thank my wife's home cooking for the bulk of my magnificent bulk. I've been married less than 3 years, and my lovely wife is an excellent cook. The hell of it is that I really don't eat all that much. Legume, this is probably the sexiest picture I can come up with, since I haven't had any taken without a shirt. Of course, I do have a web camera, but I think I'll spare the community such nonsense. 

Now that does it. I skimmed through here and decided not to get involved in the "Mac vs PC" battle. You've gone too far. How do you know what my tits look like? I never posted a picture of myself bare-chested! I'm too ashamed of my fat body! Now you have to suffer by looking at my Fat, Magnificent Body. Oh, and yes, and believe it or not I was actually interested in a Mac recently, and asked a few questions about Macs. Just check out the Macintosh forum. I decided to stay with PC's. My understanding is that Poser for Macintosh is being delayed due to lack of cooperation from Apple. So if you have some complaints, then throw your darts at your beloved Apple Computer Company.

Frankly, the Poser manual leaves much to be desired. Renderosity, and the Poser forum are here to help. Tutorials are great too. Shiby561, you might find my tutorials helpful. Just click on the link and visit my Freebie and Tutorial Site.

Actually the method I talk about in my tutorial was taught by Jaggar (sp?) and Gaz... This method is absolutely permanent and foolproof. Your character will always be immune from Crosstalk. And you don't need to muss and fuss with loading twice the desired number of figures in a scene.

I ran into a problem with Full Body Morphs. My Marlin character had a heavy FBM, and I couldn't find the heavy setting for all parts of his body. He came out with a huge belly, and skinny legs, etc. That was one very frustrating problem. In the end, I still don't trust the other methods of combatting Crosstalk.

I just love the Tailor. You might want to view the Tailor Tutorlal at my Freebie and Tutorial Site.

I've taken great delight in watching pokeydots show off her new creations, and the Renderosibee story is great. And I've loved to watch Chuck go from a timid poster to "one of us." Keep it up, my friends.

You're most welcome. By the way, my friends call me Ron. (Hint hint.)

Technically, PBoost allows you to make Banks within your libraries. For instance, you could have the following: 1.) Mike's Poses and MATs 2.) Vicky's Poses and MATs 3.) Millennium characters 4.) P4 characters PBooost allows you to switch between those banks on the fly. You can manipulate your libraries so there are fewer items in each bank, and you have the ultimate flexibility. Here is a link to a thread where I described the benefits of PBooost in greater detail. Bear in mind that there has been a newer version of PBooost since I posted that thread. But you should get an idea what you can do.

You're really creating some very useful and great stuff here. You inspired me to grab different things and stick them in my scanner for scanning. I discovered how easy it is to scan a pack of cigarettes and even a cigarette. But then there is that old copyright concern.. I'm still looking around for things I can scan for fun.

Unfortunately, I do too much of that sometimes. I don't always pay attention to the time. But it seems I spend at least 2 hours in the morning before work here reading the forums. I have very little actual email. Most emails just tell me there is a response to one of the many threads I'm involved with here at Renderosity. In some ways I've reached the limitations of my artistic abilities, or run out of ideas. Months ago I wanted to create a texture for my clown. I tried, and got lost. I wanted to find the perfect product that would finally help me "go commercial." I end up either creating tutorials or spending hours in the forums here. Unfortunately, "social circumstances" often lead me here. I don't know many other computer users, and no other Poser users in my state. And yes, I don't get out much. I've felt the surge of creative energy that had been pent up all my life... It's bursting forward.. but I often spend to much time on the forums. And yes some folks would rather I disappear. Geesh.
