you pay as much for virtual underwear as you do for the real thing...sheesh! :-)

... your Poser models have more clothes, accessories, vehicles and houses than you have.

...when you can remember when exactly the same quote was used to start a thread :oP Cheers

Vicky is threatening to leave me (she thinks I'm spending too much time with my wife). I guess she'll get 50% of the stuff. Or she might claim that they are all "gifts". OK! My name is Visque and I'm a Poserholic.

.......when your husband notices that you're spending alot more time with Vicki than you do with Mike and begins giving you funny looks ;)

...when you find yourself spending more time downloading new stuff than you spend actually creating graphics because you're afraid you'll miss out on something (how many light sets do I really need?)

Hey, Dialyn, that was MY symptom!

I have another one. ....when Poser files take up more room on your hard drive than all the other files put together.

When you dream about the next scene... When you fantasize about building the perfect person, and they're all in wireframe... When you walk along the street and see someone interesting, and try to figure out how to use them as a texture or pose... When the first thing you check in the morning is the Poser Forum, the Marketplace, and freebies: at 7 different sites... When you go to bed 6 nights in a row with a long render started, and set the alarm for 3:00 AM to check it... When your other half has learned to recognize all the Poser merchandising sites when he balances the checkbook and pays the charge cards... When you start buying cheaper beer to afford V3 with all the injection morphs and cloths... When you mistakenly call your best friend "Mike" three times in one phone conversation... When to branch from Poser, your idea is to write a cookbook for the Millenium Family and market it through Daz... YES! I AM A POSERHOLIC! Someone stop me before I render again!

When you have to buy a new esternal 120 gig hard drive just for Poser stuff and it's already 1/2 full two months later. And the program itself runs off my internal hard drive.

When the most beautiful woman walks by and all you can think is how the folds of her clothes look. Can I make that texture? Wish I could buy that hair style.

OMG, we are a sad bunch aren't we?! LOL

"....when Poser files take up more room on your hard drive than all the other files put together. " I'm puzzled. What do you mean by "other files"? Oh. You must mean the operating system. Besides that, I can't begin to imagine what purpose any files other than Poser-related files could serve. No, wait, I do vaguely recall a time when I had some "other files", but I can't recall why I would have wanted them.

LOL, at least I am not alone ;-)

How about gettin nervous because of going on a trip and I will be away from Poser and buying for awhile. Just looked for my shorts for trip and realize I only have 2 pair that fit me. Even my Vic3 has more than that.

You spend more on Poser stuff then food, clothing or anything else for your self. And one my son did to me when asked to draw a picture at school of what he thought his parents were doing at that time and he drew his mommy sitting at the computer lol :)

All you dream about is purchasing a bigger and more powerful Computer to use exclusively for Poser! I confess :) ladynimue

When you're a grown man dressing up Vicky like she's a barbi doll and you find nothing seriously wrong with this yet you think those guys who collect and play with real Barbies are fruitcakes. When your vision of the universe is limited to what sets you have available. When you spend more time putting an outfit on Vicky than you do actually making some art with her. When your poser figures actually talk to you from the screen and tell you to clean the guns... oh maybe I shouldn't say anything about that one.

when you spend 48 hours strait learning poser, and don't see daylight for a week( god that stuff hurts the eyes). your credit card gets paid first while the others are paied late your thinking of selling your car( witch hasn't moved in weeks) to buy a new kick ass pc/mac coffee and gigs are now a fifth food group your time spent rendering is longer than you actully sleep your sitting here reading this and have agreed with 90% of it :)

...when you've moved into a new apartment and haven't been able to set up your computer, but are still buying things here and at DAZ. :^S Jay

when your OS login password is "JustForPoser" (not a real one there, so don't even think about it ;).

when you can recognize 90% of the props, characters and textures in a random Poser scene ... when even your "normal" co-workers know what Renderosity is ... When you know the names of the guys over at DAZ better than the guy at the corner store where you buy a bagel every day... When you've seen Vicki's butt more often than your boy/girl friends...

When you look at the person next to you in line at the store and think "Hrms, soften hips at about .6, maybe a little bit of V2 pearshape FBM at no more than .2, and definitely the 'tone' FBM, maybe even BreastSize6 at .8..." When you identify women not by their cup size, but by the breastsize morph on Vicky2 that best describes them. "I'm telling you, she was Breastsize7 at 1.5!!!"

... When your Poser weapons collection would get you a possible domestic terrorist investigation if they were real. I have 4 drive on this mac and two are full of poser stuff :-)

While carrying on a conversation you continually are looking at your friends eyeballs to make sure they are perfectly aligned (it's alright, they just think you are making good eye contact)!

You have trouble going to sleep at night because you happened to see a blurb on the front page of Daz and keep hitting refresh looking for the product !!! And you KNOW YOU JUST HAVE TO HAVE IT RIGHT NOW!!!!! Ahem....sorry LOL!!!

when you wonder if you should get a life, then figure you wouldn't really know what to do with it if you hade one

"*I'm puzzled. What do you mean by "other files"?

that, I can't begin to imagine what purpose any
files other than Poser-related files could serve.

some "other files", but I can't recall why I
would have wanted them.*"

Now, THAT'Sjust plain funny !!!

When you start looking at your boss and wonder what morphs he used to achieve that look.

...when you lose your regular day job, and instead of going out looking for another one, wonders if you can figure out a way to make a living from texturing and rendering. Seriously folks on this one....I was part of the top performers for Circuit City who just lost my job. Actually trying to figure out a business plan that works within the rendering and texturing realm. So any free stuff anyone wants to send me...or testing, I am available!!

...anytime you have over a hundred gigs of hard drive and not one game installed..........lol

When if the freestuff area server ever crashed they don't have to worry cause you have every freestuff item on your drive still in the zip files and you can simply restore the whole thing yourself. You still have you copy of poser 1 cause you might need it someday. When you worry more about making some super professional "external" app like Max work with poser than making poser work with your $2K copy of max. When you refuse to delete all those old P3 figures, textures and poses cause you just might need them someday. When 1 gig of ram is too small for your 15 vicky 3 character scene. When you look at every other 3d app's compatibility chart to see if it imports poser files and you don't buy the package if it won't.

Mason, that's being a Poser pack rat along with a Poserholic :-)

...your five year old son tells you you're obsessed with Poser. ...you call in sick to work so you can spend time alone on the computer without your four kids or your husband saying, "You're STILL on there?" ...you have a separate computer for your kids so you don't have to vie for computer time to spend with Vicky and Mike. ...you volunteer to take over doing the bills and then keep your fingers crossed that hubby won't look at the credit card statement and see all the real money you've spent on virtual people, scenery and clothes.

You install on a laptop, so you don't waste any time when you do finally NEED to take a dump??? SAD BUT TRUE???!!!

When your Poser stuff takes up 2 80GB drives, and that's on the pc that is SUPPOSED to be for recording music. The other 2 80GB drives do indeed contain said music, but it's something called Posertrax... ;)

What you mean vicky 3 isnt a real person! Ho no its the men in white coats.. (and their comming to take me away ha,ha hee,hee to the funny farm.......)

Yes iamonk, sad.... :)

hmmm ... (pdxjims): When you dream about the next scene... [as there's not so much time left from my 29 hour day I'm not dreaming that much ... lol] When you fantasize about building the perfect person, and they're all in wireframe... [as there's not so much time for sleep left I used to dream in wireframes - this saves resources] When you walk along the street and see someone interesting, and try to figure out how to use them as a texture or pose... [I'm going in the cinema just for watching poses - lol] When the first thing you check in the morning is the Poser Forum, the Marketplace, and freebies: at 7 different sites... [OK - actually only at 4 places - and not every morning] When you go to bed 6 nights in a row with a long render started, and set the alarm for 3:00 AM to check it... [I don't have time to render something ... to much time needed for posing] When your other half has learned to recognize all the Poser merchandising sites when he balances the checkbook and pays the charge cards... [uh - oh ... lol] When you start buying cheaper beer to afford V3 with all the injection morphs and cloths... [gladly I got a bit money by selling poses AND I hate beer - also I'm German] When you mistakenly call your best friend "Mike" three times in one phone conversation... [Not happened - YET] When to branch from Poser, your idea is to write a cookbook for the Millenium Family and market it through Daz... [This IS really a neat idea] (pigfish) When you have to buy a new esternal 120 gig hard drive just for Poser stuff and it's already 1/2 full two months later. And the program itself runs off my internal hard drive [only 120 gig - I bought a whole PC just for Poser ... and it wasn't the cheapest one] (ladynimue) All you dream about is purchasing a bigger and more powerful Computer to use exclusively for Poser! I confess :) [OK, that was before I actually bought it ... lol] (djgoldfinger) when you spend 48 hours strait learning poser, and don't see daylight for a week( god that stuff hurts the eyes). [people actually call me a vampire - 'cause it seems the only time to get me via phone is after 11 PM] (geoegress) ...anytime you have over a hundred gigs of hard drive and not one game installed..........lol [uhm - right !! - never thought of that ...] Oh - and I have some additional ones: Did you ever get into your car and then suddenly thought 'Hey, I didn't start the daily render !' ? OK - you ran back in the house - arranged the scene - started fist render - uhm ... something wrong - and another render, and another render - then after 2 hours you came back to your car only to find out you left the engine on and you'd ran out of gasoline ?? Did you ever watched a movie in the cinema - then after a pretty neat fighting scene you stood up and you were going to the guy who is actually working with the movie-machine trying to ask him if he can get a few minutes back 'cause you want to watch that scene again ?? I didn't get the movement right to do the right animation ... Well - OK - I didn't do that - I actually stopped in front of the door by reading 'no public entry' !!

...when you wonder why your wife or girlfriend doesn't have morph dials... ...when Daz gets more money out of your paycheck then your rent

When you read the the top of the line G4 Mac can directly address 2 gig of ram and 720gig of internal storage and start thinking of all the new stuff you can get and the huge scenes you can create with it :-) (no I don't have this ubermac and have little chance of getting it outside of some major lottery winnings)

LOL Schlabber! My last one for the day: When you have serious discussions on the best penis prop to use with the V3 male, evaluating each for flexability and morphs. God, I'm pathetic.

pdxjims: but with an excellent eye for detail...:-D

When you start trying to figure out ways to deduct poser from your taxes!!!!! YES, I have considered it, but haven't found a way around it! This was to funny to read! I needed this! :))))

When you read these posts and think "Yup, understand perfectly... been there, done that!"

when you start sweating when you just posted a new render on several galleries and your pc breaks down, and you quit work early to be in the pc-store in time to repair it, so you miss no comments.

(Oh and indeed, I too bought an extra harddisk for all the Poser stuff, and eventually a new pc to make faster renders...) When you look around and get so much inspiritation for scenes that you're not productive for days because you don't know where to start... when you know where to find a prop, but don't know where the herbs are in your own kitchen...

When you break your back by falling off the stairs and the first thing you ask is to have your pc next to your bed, so you can render without moving... (Truely happened... rendered in bed for 6 months.. ;-))

1. when you bend your knee and think of joint settings and folloff zones; 2)when you load your poser characters and seriously say "good morning" I'm absolutely crazy with Poser.

When you realize that the ONLY way you are going to get all the Poser stuff you NEED is to get a second job...and you do it! (Then you don't sleep so you have time to make imagees with all that new stuff) When you realize the only people that "truly" understand you are here at Rosity... When you realize that the only "support group" for this sort of thing is only encouraging your addiction... LOL Gina

When you start flagging down perfect strangers on the street (or bars) to photograph their face(s) (front, three-quarters and profile) for your next texture work.
