My very first purchase for Poser was BeachBaby for V3. I remember posting in their forums asking how to use it, LOL I was told I needed V3, which of course I didn't have at the time. I thought all I needed was "Beach Baby", hehe

I paid $19.95 for it and it's now 1/2 that price.

I had v3, but didn't yet have the morphs, lol. Being a newbie in poserdom is HARD!

I had to look back on the Marketplace account list to find it...
something called "3dRelief", which must have been a program
to generate height-field meshes from pictures. I don't even
remember buying it, which means it probably didn't do what
I hoped it would do .... whatever that was!

That was exactly 7 years ago.

Apparently it's a program that turns your 2D images into 3D models

Checked my shopping accounts:-
M3 from DAZ3D - yes, I PAID for the thing, bah
Grrrr.

I guess I've about cussed enough at it while using it, that I feel somewhat vindicated.

Hmm, mine would be clothes for V3/M3. M3 3 Piece Suit and second skins for V3. I usually don't buy for them, just freebies. I hardly work with them these days so I haven't invested much into them. I do this as a hobby. I dont have wads of cash to blow on 3D models so, I come here for the wonderful freebies. I haven't bought from here. I've bought from Daz & 2 prop items from CP. lol. I'm not a big spender. I'm cheap.

But, with that said, all my items were full price at the time I bought them almost 3 years ago!
Prob still full price lmao.

My first purchase was V1, and of couse clothes. Such a long time ago, you can see the difference big time in so many models. Sharen

Funny thread... my first purchase was here (at least the one I found), 2003-07-02. I paid $17.95 for a texture set:

My first ever Poser Purchase (not bought for me by someone else) was Koshini. And Koshini 2. And I didn't realize there was an upgrade price, LOL, so I bought them both full-price, :lol: .And then, the next day, I bought an outfit for her :P
And, it's been snowballing ever since. I've actually spent $200 in one shopping "outing" in a day. Not in one spot, mind you, but close :lol:

Well, it's a given that you have to have Poser to use Poser stuff :) And that Poser was probably everyone's actual first purchase in Poserdom. But what was your actual first purchase for Poser?

You know I couldn't just answer your thread without giving you a hard time first did ya? LOL!!

Actually I didn't make my first purchase of a poser anything until I got poser 4 and it was on 04/07/2001 and it was a posable cockroach for a picture I was doing using posette in a dirty alley.

@pdblake: I didn't mean to insult 3dRelief. Remembering vaguely now, it
did what it was supposed to do, but I didn't understand ... until I tried it ...
that 3dRelief wasn't the right tool to build models of cochleas, lungs and
palates. I would have to master full-fledged modeling, so I did.

I didn't think for a moment you had :)

Just hard to believe it was 7 years ago that I wrote that. I've learnt an awful lot since then (mostly not to use Visual Basic as a serious programming IDE) :)

Victoria 1, on 14th October 2001. (edited to add: my thinking at the time was: "I'll just buy this one thing, then I won't need to buy anything else." Ha! Ha! Ha!) Actually, I didn't buy Poser until much later. No, no, put away the pitchforks, villagers! I got Poser 3 off a magazine cover CD, and won Poser 4 in a competition. I only paid money when Poser 5 came out - wished I hadn't...

My first purchase for Poser was AnimeDoll from Studio Maya site....remember cause I had to get the hubby to do it with his paypal cause I didn't have anything set up yet....think that was 2004 (I haven't been doing this all that long)

Crazy alien chick FTW! (yeah....right....)

Realm of Savage - Poser goodies and so much more!

~~

I got Poser 3 free off a magazine too - what's the betting it was the same one English Bob - in fact I still ahve that Cd on my cluttered desktop at home so if I feel like giving myself a real laugh I can always reinstall P3.

My first content purchase was Bliss Vision Hair and Radiant Pro Light System and I felt sure that this was all I would ever need to buy to go with the free download of V3 - oh how wrong I was grins

:rolleyes: Sharkey's Angelyna Wings!

My first Poser purchase was "Practical Poser 6". I brought a copy for a friend of mine too.

My second purchase was V3 head and body morphs.

My first Poser purchase was Poser 2. Little did I understand at the time what I was getting myself into.

Something To Do At 3:00AM

:huh: Xenophonz is right, and has be beat; my first Poser purchase was Poser 3...Now that I think of it, Bryce 3 was my first purchase for Poser, then Ray Dream 5.

I didn't have to buy Bryce till V4 as the rest were freebies on magazines.

Poser 3 came off a cover disc - probably same one as English Bob and Valerian70

The first 'true' purchase was Sanctum Arts Howler from here.

Wouldn't like to hazard a guess how much I've spent since then :)

Pinky - you left the lens cap of your mind on again.

Nope .. It has changed and grown a lot since then.

After buying Poser 5 I bought more 256 MB RAM. And it was for Poser.

Victoria 2 for $50 way way back. I didn't use it much for the longest time because the face looked so horrible with the Face Camera. Then I saw a tutorial to change camera settings and the fisheye lens went away and the model started looking good.

My visual indexes of Poser content are at http://www.sharecg.com/pf/rgagnon

After buying Poser 5, my next purchase was Lightwave 7.5 for $1200.00 usd. Then I waited for a year of promises of a lightwave plugin.

Poser6 was the very first (yeah i'm rather "young" here...), then the 'true' purchase was V3 and M3 morphs.

My Store

P4 from Daz. It came with a content disk with V1 and other things and a $20 voucher that I used to upgrade to V2 and skin textures. Nov.2001.

I remember it well, the first model I ever bought was the old Zygote Dragon, (long before DAZ split off) for $120, texture was extra. That was back in 1999, and I've been buying stuff ever since! I still remember how cool it was posing the dragon and Posette and then importing them into Bryce.

My first poser purchase ? Poser 3 ... sorry :-)))

Poser (1)! I haven't had to buy a version since but it's cost me more than most. :)

My first actual content purchase was "Parts and Props". I don't remember why but I had to pay for it. I think I got an employee discount though. In recent memory it was Grace Lion Hair.

I bought Poser 3 in a bundle with Bryce & RayDream but didn't really get with the program 'til an upgrade to Poser4. I guess this was around the time that DAZ branched off from Zygote - the site became more user friendly and the model prices came down (tho' looking back I'm amazed at what I was willing to pay on those early shopping trips - most of it still unused - eek!)

...but back to the topic ;)
I got Victoria 1 for Poser 3 but never used her, then Victoria 2 for Poser 4.

My first purchase here was a face morph pack for V2 - Deviouz Faces by IceStorm.
This was part of a huuuuuge week-long shopping expedition - and even under threat of torture I wouldn't tell anyone what I spent that first month after discovering Renderosity - it still makes me queasy to think about it ;)

I love it when Steve posts; gives me the illusion I can grab him, pin him to a chair and get info out of him about Poser's next release.

And also imprint him with my wishlist for the program in his operative RAM.

::::: Opera :::::

P.S. Steve, how about tangents and handles on the spline curves??

Well let's see... my first content purchase for Poser had to be Nerd's Dreamspinner Line for Posette sometime in Oct or Nov of 2000. My first Poser purchase was Poser 2 followed by Poser 3. This was back in the days before there were any Poser stores.... conforming clothes.... transmapped hair or transparency of any kind...

Oh for the good ole days of helmet hair:)

My first Poser purchase was The Girl. That was a lot of money ago!

Oh this thread is fun! My first purchase was the Victoria 1.0 CD for $73.92 and it came with Victoria, Victoria maps 1 & 2, Flip Hair and Victoria Clothing Pak. I remember wanting the Fearie so badly but just couldn't afford it after getting the cd and then there was the Zygote Dragon that was totally out of reach. They still sell that Faerie at Daz, for much less :)

Quote - Checked my shopping accounts:-
M3 from DAZ3D - yes, I PAID for the thing, bah
Grrrr.

I guess I've about cussed enough at it while using it, that I feel somewhat vindicated.

Don't feel bad; I still have Aiko 1, and I bought Stephanie 1 to get hold of that (riiight before they came out w/ the standalone version). Can't remember the last time I actually took that out and played around with it, and it used to be my favorite out of the pile. To top that off, I had to pay a 6% sales tax on all of my purchases from DAZ, up until this past February - I was a Utah resident. /P

My first 'Poser purchase' was before I had Poser. I had just discovered DAZ Studio then and had the free base models. Didn't like them all looking the same, so I got them something extra.

My first purchase:

Dazzling Gaze
Victoria 3.0 Piercing Pack

I still use those eyes sometimes. But since then, I have added so much more and expanded my shopping trips to so many other stores.

I bought just about every figure at Daz in one fell swoop, if I recall correctly. This was back when Poser 5 was current.

Download my free stuff here: http://www.renderosity.com/homepage.php?page=2&userid=323368

Like several others, I started with that magazine coverdisk CD containing Poser 3. And fiddled with various freebies from people such as PhilC, before buying Poser 5 in late 2003. It wasn't until a year later that I bought anything else; firat the DAZ Platinum Club membership and bundle, and then their Victoria 2 CD. It can't have been long after that that Aiko 3 came out.

You know I'm a big fan of the Opera. :) I'm doing what I can. If it were up to me I'd have you all over for tea and crackers.

P.S. I'm trying to be subtle about my blog. That's where I get to say more about things than I should, but I will tend to say more about things that I shouldn't.

V2 and M2, then everything got out of hands :biggrin:

This is so bad because I realize my avatar is based on my first purchase. I bought Jim Burton's Night Life shoe set even before any characters. i figured if the shoes looked cool I'd get the girl. I am still getting loads of use from those shoes.
cheerio lululee

I managed somehow, to avoid the purchase machine for a long time. Gaining poser 3 from a magazine, and then was given poser 4 as a christmas gift. It took several years before i had to purchase really anything, because i was fortunate enough to have a spouse who got me v2. After that, i surfed the net for all the freebies that could be had. i was a downloading slave lol.

Granted, i didnt realize half of the fantastic items were textures only, not the actual item, imagine my suprise lol. Then the learning to unzip and where the heck it goes.

Finally, frustrated my first purchases were v3 and m3 and their morph packages. I remember the day well, as it was like "thank god!".

This is a fun thread! My first poser purchase ever was Aphrodite Hair by Darkworld, sold at DAZ. It was a lot more expensive back then. My first purchase here consisted of Angelyna Wings by Sharkey, Poseable Demon Wings, by Darkworld, and Paris Haute Coiffure by Neftis. All of this was back in 2005. I'm also pretty young into the poser scene.

The first thing I buy was Bryce after Poser... then
I buy my first model..Victoria 1 in 2001 by Zygote ;) ( Daz was not born yet lol)
and my ex-hubby was jealous that I spend more time with her that with him lol...
after M1 show up on the market he can't handle it no more j/k LOL

The first thing I ever bought here was Capsces' Roxanne, her V2 morph. I'm not sure what the first thing I bought at Daz was, I had another account name back then and managed to lose the password ages ago so I can't check... (because I can't remember the account name either, I had a long break from Poser around that time)

I've only been using this stuff for about a year and a half. My first purchase was membership in DAZ's Platinum Club. I think the first product purchase after that was the M3 and V3 morphs.

Looks to me as if my first purchase was Victoria 1......

I distincly remember being shocked as i paid something like $AUD 90 which was about 1/3 of the cost of a new copy of Poser....

Before that - Daz stuff wasn't all that spectacular and most of the Poser 4 stuff was free - no huge market place back then I don't think

manoloz.. that was your first??? man youre a newbie. Mine was Poser 4 and i never bought any Daz figures till like 2 years later. well but i never was a harcore poser user.. that's why i'm still a newbie. yu could say.

I bought Poser as a tool to get believable archviz human scales. However, along the way I started making female angel renders. I still do them when I have some free time.

Yes you could say I'm a newbie, and I seem to be one of the few people around here that don't have a Victoria/Michael/David/Hiro/Aiko render in the gallery :)

I'm like Mec4d (only not nearly as talented...;) Let's see, if you're going to disallow the actual purchase of Poser, then...uh...well...I've never actually bought any content at all...in the last 6 years.

first, there's so much good freebie stuff out there, I can usually get all sorts of pictures up by just paying attention around here (special offers, limited downloads, etc) Not having credit card, I've purchased a few things off 'those English magazines', including Poser 3 (woops, that don't count again...;) for cash

second, having tried several modeling programs (Strata, Amapi, Anim8tor, Wings 3d, Blender, even Truespace...once....once...;) If I can't find it, I just make it.

I guess that doesn't count discount coupons like the $5 thing they put up recently, either...

Heh - well, I guess I am also more of a builder than a buyer (though I admit, the $5 thingys do tend to prod me along from time to time) aside from Poser (3) itself, my very first Poser related purchace was Mimic Pro.

Hey! His nose is dry! ... Someone should lick it, just in case. - Diego

My first poser purchase was Poser 1.0

Hmmm, well I had a few things bought FOR me and a whole mess of free stuff but my actual first purchase ever was CasualV3 by outoftouch over at DAZ along with Victoria 3 High Heels. They were both on sale for like $2 and some odd sense so I had to get 'em and I am still very happy with both. I had bought some scenes before that but they were free so I'm not counting those

My first renderosity purchse was of course more outoftouch stuff (Cecile Hair, Engage for V3 Sweater Set), aoaio's Sweater Set for V3, and Pinball's V3 Custom Dress w/20 Textures. I think they were good choices, I still use them all

Poser 4, followed a few months later by Zygote's Costume Shop CD. Then, Vicky 1 and her clothing set, Jim Burton's Hollywood Hair, the DAZ gorilla, and Poser 5. And nothing else - yet! One of these days, I'll have money for Poser stuff. Probably about the time they stop updating the program, and all the marketplaces fall apart....

Posette got clothes from Poserworld. Here in Reo I can´t remember what was the first thing. I only know that I bought some stuff from Petti (now PG Graphics) and hairs from SWAM along my first steps here.

Hmm, I don't know what my first actual purchase was. Poser4 was bought for me as a gift and some goodies to go with it. Then I joined here and later at Daz but my ID was different then. Lost it in a hard drive crash and didn't have it written down so I can't trace it...sigh. And under my ID now, it was African Princess Hair in 2003. :)

Poser 3 was given to me and later I bought Poser 4 after seeing a render by Kozaburo and it sure looked like a photograph to me back then. My first purchase here at Rendo was a remapped wolf, which I don't even think is available anymore.
