Quote - So where is my email? Been with you guys since the beginning and no email? Kinda tells ya something doesn't it?

Marque - If you want to site mail me the email address you use, I can try to confirm that you are on the list, and which list, so we can make sure you were on there.   Anyone else can do the same.  Thanks!

Quote - FYI - Not everyone has received their email yet.  My house has 3 CP accounts, and only 2 of them have received an email so far.

edited to note

The ones that were received were in my inbox hours apart.

I think there is no less than 4 different lists in process of sending and they are hearty lists going out from different places right now  - Content Paradise Retro, CP New Store, Smith Micro Subscribers, Subscribed Poser Owners for Upgrades and Subscribed Poser Pro Owners...

Exactly, and, contrary to what we might think, email is not instant, especially when there are thousands going out ;)  If they all went out at once, the servers would crash and burn :lol:

I have Poser 5 through Poser 8 on several of my systems and use all of them through out the day usually (Can not have two different versions running on the same machine at the same time.)

I disagree, I usually have Poser 7 and poser 6 running at the same time on the same machine.  How ever never been able to get 5 and 7 and 5 and 6 running at the same time.

Whats in the email from cp??

And where is the info on poser pro 2?? (pro 8)

Poser pro 2 info is at the above link.

Thank you!

So I assume when buying p8 upgrade, it will ask for Both #'s, poser and pro, right?

Nope, just one SN. 

Then I should enter the pro # right?
I bought pro back in poser 4 days, but I have poser 6 (non pro). Do I enter the pro # to ensure poser pro 2010 offers?

I think you're confusing poser pro (poser7-based) with poser pro pack (poser4-based). However, I could be wrong.

Are both English?

As you do not have Poser Pro (released last year) you should enter the Poser 6 serial number.

Pro Pack is, as manoloz said, not related to Poser Pro, so you won't be eligible for the Poser Pro to Poser 8 upgrade.

(edit) I just noticed you are asking the same questions and getting the same answers in another thread.  :O(

Can't even get Content paradise to load! You guys have overloaded the system methinks.

 I am so glad I bought the upgrade, and before I even got the email...did not really need it.  I put in my account and there was the offer at the upgrade price......this is the first time I bought the upgrade right away.  This time I did not wait....and guess what?

I SURE AM GLAD.....................I AM LOVING THIS NEW GUI, IT RUNS GREAT, Really happy so far.  The install was a little tricky but I went slow and read instructions.  Also, I am glad I bought it early this morning, the downloads were slow then, but were moving.

SHAREN

 So far it works with all my old runtimes, Poser 4, Poser PRO 4, Poser 6, & 7.....(I never did install 5).  Each one is working great.......must be something I am missing, cause I am just having a wonderful time.....Sharen

Since I'm on vacation, (typing on my laptop in a tent on a czech camping) I'll just have too wait till I'm back home and hope that the rush will be over by then, and I have some money left to buy the upgrade.

I hope to see some renders soon from the lucky ones who have  finished their downloads.

best regards,

i think i will buy poser 8. there is a big chance i will. i wouldnt have to type in numbers for the lights for physical correct lights. i would get GI and faster AO and faster raytraced renders.

if i will buy it i will complain a little. thats just my thing he he :) 

can i have poser pro and poser 8 instaled together without problems? 

*"can i have poser pro and poser 8 instaled together without problems? *"

Yes.

LMK

my opinion on poser 8.

not so bad.
it renders faster.  i am a little lost and confused because of the new library. but i will get used to.

when i am in the material room it is slower then in poser pro and poser 7.
the IDL is intresting. i dont know if i have a slow computer but a simple box and sphere renders 1 minute and 5 seconds. i think this is pretty long for a render without shadows. but its new and i guess you will fix it.
i can see artifacts but it was said that you will fix it until SP1. i am happy for that.
there is tons of stuff that you get with poser 8. tons. so much that i am spending hours to test it all. tons of stuff.

one thing that i noticed. poser 8 crashed 2 times when i was in the material room. i dont know if i am the only one. but it crashed.

ok BB i think i found my first problem with tone mapping.

it makes the background images brighter. for example the reflection map from the ENsphere.

so i made tests. if i plug something in the ambient channel or alt-diffuse then the tone mapping changes it.

if we can not change this then this is a big problem.

i tryed anti-GC the image with 2,2 and 2 . but it doesnt look like the original image.

whait a minute. we can not change the names of the lights? 

ignore my post. it works. still learning.
