Oh, BTW, P5, simple bar prop, displacement mapped. Something kind of odd though.. when rendering it, betwen the render "passes" I get corruption between those stripes.. I worked around it by increasing my bucket size to huge, but is there a solution other then that?

I am waiting too...but not so anxiously. I am still debating wether or not to buy a new hardrive to put it on...I still have room on the old drive, but am sure it will fill up fast and would hate to have to move it to a new drive 6 months from now. LOL
randym77 posted Tue, 22 March 2005 at 2:58 PM
Maybe it's that scaling thing. I don't suppose they fixed that in P6...?
semidieu posted Tue, 22 March 2005 at 3:11 PM
Did you set the Minimum Displacement Bound to a value greater than the displacement value you set for the material ? And i'm also waiting for P6...
Gareee posted Tue, 22 March 2005 at 3:15 PM
Um... nope! ;) It was at whatever default settings are. and I was displacing like 3 or 4.

I am waiting on mine, too. But that's OK -- whenever the first downloader that didn't back up their P6 copy suffers a hard drive crash -- then we'll be hearing all about it.......... I prefer having a box on the shelf. It's reassuring.

Gareee posted Tue, 22 March 2005 at 3:39 PM
I wasn't much concerned abou the download size..but I'f I'm going to use a utility a LOT, I want a manual I can refer to occasionally, even if it sucks some.. ;)

Box on the shelf is nice, but I mostly just like being able to take the user manual to read in the john, at work during lunch, on long bus rides, etc., without having to print out all x-hundred pages of it. Especially when I'm getting a second, entirely unfamiliar program thrown in as part of the preorder deal. :-)

You'll be happy when you have your pretty box. Plus there will probably be a patch by the time we get it. :D

I'm here too. I like physical things. (TOS Smack!)
Ordering the box version allows time for:
Cleaning out the old harddrive (and) ordering a new one.
I shouldn't say this but with P5 I did the preorder/;physical box and got it just one week after release date.
I never looked back.

DR isn't even supposed to have them in their hands for like 6 days, so we won't get ship confirmations until a tad after that.

A proper manual. I made the mistake of buying the Shade Standard DL. Never again. PDF's suck the big one when trying to find out something. I've had to ask those with the manual where to find what I was looking for. Also waiting gives the DL owners time to figure out how to toast Content Paradise. First thing I'll do after install.

Originally, I had hoped that I would have my copy of Vue Infinite to work with by now.....but V5I hasn't shipped to me yet, either. I'll forget all about having to wait for V5I/P6 within a day of receiving them in the mail.
Francemi posted Tue, 22 March 2005 at 4:14 PM
I'm in. But not in a hurry to get it. I don't have time to play with P5 and my health is not permitting me to play on the computer much these days so I prefer to wait a few weeks even more and "maybe" by then I'll be able to play with my new toy. If I had downloaded it, I wouldn't be able to play with it and THAT would make me sad. ;o) France

I don't expect to get my copy until about April 2nd by my reckoning based on what CL said about distribution. If I haven't got it by then I'm gonna spit the dummy out, throw the cat into the rain and all the other bad stuff that comes with not getting what I want when I want it.

I have to correct my earlier post. I checked E-on's site, and my copy of Vue Infinite just shipped out today.
Excellent! Vue Infinite will provide me with plenty to do on its own. A couple of additional weeks waiting on P6 won't be any trouble.
Especially seeing as how I do almost all of my rendering of Poser scenes in Vue, anyway. Message edited on: 03/22/2005 16:58

Well I was waiting on the box until last week when I found out that I get a free download of Poser6 because I bought Poser5 in Febuary and to send them my reciept after the release date. I found out today when I faxed it that I will have to wait about a week or so before they will get back with me on the download link. Now that I am back to waiting can I join too?

I'm in the club. I don't mind waiting. I would rather have the physical product. From reading all the comments posted since the download, I'll be more ready and know what to expect.

I live in Quec (ok, it is far, about 3000miles) but even mail coming from the nearest State takes approx. 3-4 weeks to get here. And I think most if not all members of the Wait Club have preordered.

Francemi, I'm in Alberta, same thing here. In fact, I would not be surprised to see you get it first. CL ships to warehouse, Central/Eastern States, then to Eastern Canada, then when they get around to it, Alberta, then a week of dicking around where to deliver. Sometime in May sounds about right. I went through all that when I bought P5. Funny, I bought P4 through Daz, got it in 1 week.

beryld, I bought Poser5 last year but I don't remember how long it took to get here. But in the last year, I've sent some things and received some things from friends in the USA (Eastern USA) and each time, it took between 4-6 weeks to get to destination.
