Hmmm... a black and white cinema showing a color movie? Thanks!

Thank you. I needed this. I love your low polygon models. A bonus for animators.

Another great room. I'm using it as a college lecture hall.

Hint hint - I wish someone who knows about modelling will make a set of ultra low polygon primitives that we could use in Poser. Just basic stuff like a wedge, square with a hole in it, half cone, etc, but in real low polygon style that can be used to make more complex stuff to be used in animations. Here are some examples of things I use from Prop-o-rama found here in free stuff. I wish I knew how to model and had the time, then I would just make my own. The square with the hole in it here, for instance, has bevelled/champhered (spelling?) edges, which I don't need but don't know how to get rid of.

This is a blatant hint, which may also be seen as a request by more cynical people.

Hee hee.

Numanoid, in the long run you'll have more skills, more fun *and* more time if you learn to model. I spent about 6 months trying to work with only the Poser primitives plus freestuff; after I figured out how to use Anim8or and then graduated to Amapi, I found it was much, much faster to make relatively simple things from scratch. Also less worry about copyright! And here's an unbeveled square with hole. Just take the attached text and rename it to something.OBJ, and import into Poser.

Thanks Ockham. I have Cinema 4d, Wings, Anim8or. But I am doing almost 16 hours a day, 5 days a week on Poser and Vue, so it's not the effort or the skills I am worried about, but time. Sometimes it's easier to just stick in a primitive somewhere and texture it, than to model something. When they change the calendar and make 8 day weeks it will be much easier. The 8th day will be called Mirday. The day on which we can perform miracles and actually get something done.

Yup, I know how that goes. When rushing toward a deadline, there's no time to learn something. But at some point you'll inevitably break out of the rush..... It will be worth your effort to learn, because your overall productivity will be significantly greater when you can make your own shapes.
