I have just purchased and I am downloading via the smith micro download manager...HOWEVER the machine that I use to download software / content IS NOT the same machine on which I install said software or content..

My main workstation has no internet connection...so the question is, how do I go about installing this Version of Poser Pro 2014, as from what I can see the installation method is now all managed by the download manager, not via Zip files like it used to be..

 I was expecting to be able to transfer the Zip files to my workstation for installation.

Am I stuffed.??

Any guidance would be appreciated.

Dawn will be available to Studio and Poser users, BOTH sides will be able to use her.

All the best.

Great Uncle LROG

Can I ask why you felt the need to post that statement.???

I don't understand.

S.k.

So,

It would appear that the divisions and bad feeling run too deeply after all...Thats a great shame.

I understand the 'fear' that content creators may end up polarising the market place with DS Dawn only and Poser Dawn only content...that to a certain degree is inevitable so what do we need..???

Well instead of us retreating into our respective software camps, why don't we work together to find a solution to that general problem...which must be some kind of conversion utility that will allow cross platform conversions of ANY clothing that is released for Dawn.

This is the problem we face, now lets put our human ingenuity and creativeness to finding a solution.

p.s. I am a Studio and Carrara user, though I fail to see that that should have any real importance.

Peace,

S.K.

All the best.

Great Uncle LROG

I double that.!!!

S.K.

I really like the shape of Dawns nose...I shudder to use the term 'realistic', so lets just say it has a pleasing shape.!!!!!

S.K.

The images of Dawn looks great and I can't wait for the actual figure to be released.

The discussion about body shape and 'realism' etc are quite interesting. But a thought suddenly struck me..

How come most of the Female figures are created by men, curious no..??????

S.K.

Quote - Yep, I need CrossDresser support as well ;). I'd love to be able to use my gobs and gobs of V3 and A3 stuff. I have more of that than anything. Never did manage to get all that much for V4...heh. ;)

What hair is that she's wearing btw? Is that one from a current store for V4 or is it a new one? I don't recognize it (which isn't really saying much...lol).

Laurie

It looks alot like storybrook hair. Available at Rendo, for V4.!!!!!.

Ah..but on second look, it may not be... Very similar though..

Quote - > Quote - "Dawn" looks interesting. Of course, it means that I will have to buy new hair and clothes.

 

This is a quote from Steve on page 3

"I should clarify that the compatibility with existing add-ons will be based on existing utilities and technologies available (such as the cool new Fitting Room in Poser '14) and any others that may come about such as texture convertors, etc.

Sorry if that part came across as suggesting new ways of achieving that. What we're doing it working with artists from the community who are experts in conversion to help us get Dawn setup with all the latest technologies so that she can be as compatible as any other figure out there."

 

Netherworks has already confirmed an addon for the Hair Conversion System and I'm guessing that the other major players in conversion will pop up at some point.

Exactly,

Was hoping we could get some feeback from those individuals who may be in the process of working on this like PhilC and may be Evil innocence.

Cheers,

S.K.

Incredible...

Amazing out of the box render, of Dawn.

As a Studio user I am very excited about this new figure..

One question to contributors...what plans are there to have conversion programs / scripts, etc to allow Dawn to Wear V4's clothes....I ask as I have literally HUNDREDS of V4 clothing Items and would really like the option of being able to use them on Dawn.

Cheers,

S.K.

I use V4 for 90% of the images I create. I love the figure and have a MASSIVE runtime for it.

I have Just started getting in to using Genesis 1 in my work.  The figure does have fantastic Versatility, The UV swapping, the morphing ability, dynamic morph injection, weight mappping etc, Really are great. 

I think though that Genesis makes for far better monsters and Male characters than it does for Female ones.

However Genesis 2, is a fantastic figure. The subtle details are excellent, the bends are much improved, expressions are more realistc, you can see that it COULD be a wonderful platform for Realistic Female figures, and I was REALLY excited about what I saw in the Figure...particularly with the additional morph support from the P.A.'s

But do you know what, I HAVE NOT BOUGHT HER YET.... why???...because of the way DAZ has handled the release of this figure.  Some key compatability and functionality has been lost, indeed not even addressed by DAZ.

Its like they have just thrown her out onto the market place without proper regard or understanding of their customers, in an almost take it or leave it fashion.

Its understandable why many view this figure as just another cash cow for Daz to wring more money out of their customers.

I would buy into Genesis 2 and V6 in a second, if I believed in DAZ the company. 

If I was confident that this figure would be properly nurtured and the views of, and wants of THEIR customers, acknowledged and acted upon.

But alas I am not confident, and that is a failing more of DAZ as an organisation, than of GENESIS 2 itself.

S.K.

I have goosebumps..!!!!!...

So I guess the 'non competition' clause has finaly expired eh,..????

Good to see the orginal team back in play...hopefully they will bring balance back to the force...I mean market...

Looking forward to this figure with GREAT anticipation.

S.K.

Quote - Yes, both features will be present.

Cheers.

Excellent Sir, just excellent. !!!!

I cannot wait for the Studio Version..but know that I must.. ;)

Wishing you continued success.

S.K.

Paolo,

Can you tell us whether Reality 3 for Daz Studio will allow the user to a) change the accelerator used on a scene.??

I like to use QBVH which on average is about 15-20% faster than KDbacktree, and often uses less memory.

and b) will you be adding the feature of setting or assigning 'light importance' on lights in a scene.??? THAT would be a very handy feature to have, as again it would help in increasing render times / samples, when scenes have alot things like glowing control panels and monitors etc.

Cheers,

S.K.

Go with the Intel 3930k they overclock very easily to 4.2+ ghz and are fastest 'desktop' processor you can get.

I have three of them, networked for LuxRendering.

Regards,

S.K.

Quote - Well, isn't this interesting: [http://www.daz3d.com/new-releases/luxus/quote]  

Seen it,

Dismissed it..horrible U.I. as in NONE.!!!! wouldn't use it even if it were free.

Reality all the way...LONG LIVE REALITY.!!!!!!.

Can anyone tell I am a fan.???.!!!!. Lol..

 Infact if I were DAZ I would be embarressed to sell it after passing up on Reality the way they did. 

Also seems timed to coincide with the Very imminent Release of Reality 3 for Poser, which frankly will smash this 'LuXus' effort into oblivion..sometimes the arrogance and shortsightedness of DAZ is utterly staggering.

S.K.
