From what I hear, it's a great way to meet new people!

Is that 'Meet,' or 'Meat?' ;=)

I'll just leave that to your imagination!

That's great! I wish could learn my daschhund those tricks. But the only thing he does is sleeping and begging for food!

I wan't sure if they'd be capable of standing up like that (with the long spine and short legs), but I figured, what the heck, I never claimed to be totally realistic! And it certainly looks plausible.

My dog (daschhund) can sit like that when I keep a piece of sausage above his nose, but he won't do it on command. We don't do it too often because it's indeed not very good for his back.

I'm glad you like it!

This shot is another of the ones I've had to render in pieces and composite later in Photoshop. I sure look forward to being able to get software and hardware that doesn't have the 2 gig memory limits.

Perhaps you should try lower-poly figures as well. When I finish my remapping of Posettte to V3 texture mapping, you'll find her both more pleasing to look at and easier to render as well. ;=)
Yours truly,

Yes, the high-poly figures and the 4000x3000 textures eat RAM like crazy. Poser seems to not release things from memory when it's done with them, either. I was watching the memory usage during a rendering last night. It started out with Poser.exe using about 430 megabytes. By the time it was done rendering an hour and a half later, it had gradually crept up to almost 1.4 gigabytes. That makes no sense. With other rendering programs you can see it dumping things out of memory as the rendering progresses.

YOu have an awesome sense of humor, I loved looking thru your comics :D

Thank you very much, Darsa! I'm so glad you enjoyed them!!
Yes, David, it's been a puzzle to me why lower poly models always seem to come with such miserable textures. (sigh)
